I have it in my cube, it's cool whenever it's assembled; people just love any way they can generate extra value. I'm also at 420 though, so we don't have both within the draft pool every time. I imagine that it would get kinda annoying if I saw it every draft.

At 2W it might have been broken in BFZ limited. I've been on the receiving end of that retreat, and it gets out of hand very quickly. You could easily create a board where you have like 5-6 bodies before going with an anthem to just destroy your opponent in combat. And if you ever have an...

Disrupt the opponent's curve and/or protect our curve. If I'm an aggro deck, I use discard to rip away anything that could 2-for-1 me if I'm off to an aggressive start or to get rid of a huge threat that will stonewall me. If I'm a grindier deck, I'm looking to take away threats that will...

I've loved Transgress the Mind in BFZ Limited, I just added it to my Cube last night to try out the next time we can get a draft going. Appetite for Brains was too narrow, but the 3 slot is where the majority of important cards begin to curve out from in most of our cubes.

Fulminator Mage is sweet, I've been cubing with it as long as I've had a copy and it's been awesome every time. You're taking up a turn's worth of resources to cast it most times so it's pretty fair, only busted if you come up with some sorts of shenanigans to break that resource parity (i.e...

Den Protector is amazing, get on that immediately. Semi-evasive body and instant speed Regrowth is great. Going Morph + Regrowth in one turn isn't embarrassing at all either since you get a decent body and usually get back a difference maker.

It's been pretty successful. I haven't had a chance to draft the BW archetype, but one of my friends has done it a couple of times. It's been pretty strong for him. It buys a lot of time as a cushion to bridge them into the late game. It's pretty grindy just looking to stall and buy time before...

I've cut out the Enchantment subtheme from my cube; the payoff just wasn't there to entice drafters into going into that archetype often enough. I feel like it's two creatures away from being a real viable archetype, but it's just not working for me right now. I don't want to go double Eidolon...

Viridian Emissary is sweet if you have a way of saccing him if you can't bait an opponent attack. The ability to just sac STE whenever is great because sometimes you need a speedbump against aggro, other times you just wanna ramp on T2. Having options is great. VE is kinda miserable if you...

I would not underrate Scourge of Nel Toth as a viable option/payoff card. It's a sweet card that's a fair reanimation target, can create cool tech-y play with the right set-up, and it's just a fair card in general. It's the type of late-game finisher that feels non-oppressive while still being...

To touch up on the cycles mentioned in this thread, for the DTK Commands they're all really good and I would not underestimate Dromoka's Command. I've used just about every mode over the course of a game and I actually think it is the second best behind Kolaghan's Command. I don't own a copy of...

They have infiltrated our home base. Abort operations immediately!

Just how hard is it to get to 30 life? I can't remember the last time I did that unless I curved out with lifegain dudes or set up a Kitchen Finks loop.

Cubetutor has a sideboard option now where you can store other stuff you're working with/planning to work with. You'd have some random iteration out, but the rest would be in the sideboard which we could look at whenever.

3 Pods at 420 has been the sweet spot for me. You only ever need two to ever make the archetype work out from my experience.

Eidolon is just far too slow for many of our cubes. I've tried to make it work, I wanted it to work really badly, but a cantripping 4 drop is not where I want to be. It's an AMAZING card in my Karametra Enchantress EDH, the first card I'd look for with a tutor, but that only works because I can...

Prophetic Flamespeaker High hopes, but one power is just so shitty. I wish he were a 2/2 or something. You know, actually playable. I've seen him come through exactly once, and that was with Wolfir Silverheart just buffing the hell out of him. It could have been any other creature in his...

For P1P1 scenarios, it honestly comes down to familiarity with Cube for me. If I don't know what to expect, I'm just going to pick the strongest card I see that leaves me most flexible. Or just a stupid bomb if I see it. I'll dive deeper with picks if I'm familiar with the cube/format and know...

These are some of my favorites: Crusade Day of Destiny Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Wandering Ones Feldon of the Third Path Darksteel Plate Doran, the Siege Tower
