Opening pack: Drafted cards:

they don't have to import goods from neighbouring realms

put me in coach

The perfect example (+ perfect card, IMO): Cryptbreaker

Drafted this beautiful freak: Ones 1 Stitcher's Supplier 1 Gravecrawler 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Entomb 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Sensei's Divining Top Twos 1 Thassa's Oracle 1 Scrapheap Scrounger 1 Bloodghast 1 Blood Artist 1 Dark Confidant 1 Altar of Dementia 1 Diabolic Intent 1 Animate Dead 1...

Gifted Aetherborn is your best bet IMO

Your drafters, probably

If you build your Cube's fixing around fetches, the incidental hate from Ashiok is a brutal feel-bad Self-mill stuff in UB is sadly lacking. If you're fine with colour-intensive, monocolour cards then Jace, Wielder of Mysteries is strong

Not much to report but: Made Top 8 of another Set Roulette (and started doing coverage for them): Ones 2 Opt Twos 4 Syncopate 2 Blink of an Eye 4 Baral, Chief of Compliance Threes 4 Disallow 4 Vendilion Clique Fours 3 Karn, Scion of Urza Fives 4 Urza's Ruinous Blast 4 Teferi, Hero...

This is cool in theory but hard to do in practice I think. The strongest example for this theme overpowers everything else at the power level where the rest of the -1/-1 counters stuff can comfortably flourish: Yawgmoth, Thran PhysicianStrangleroot GeistGeralf's Messenger The best payoff...

I see two themes here that offer different incentives: - Returning high-impact but low-cost threats (Unearth, Lurrus, Ojutai's Command etc) - Returning low-power (in the power/toughness sense) but high-cost threats (Reveillark, Alesha, Imperial Recruiter) There's some overlap here (e.g...

Izzet Out Of My League? The biggest recurring problem in my Cube sketches right now is figuring out what on earth blue is meant to do. More specifically, I can just about figure out what every colour pair involving blue is meant to do - with the glaring exception of UR/Izzet. The design...

To log on in my usual role as good_card_defender, I've found Recurring Nightmare increasingly inefficient and hard to utilize in high-powered Cubes even though recent sets are full of 'when this ETBs, do X, Y AND Z' designs If you're open to silver-bordered cards, this one can pop off (and...

Stronghold Assassin is a powerful card but it only really goes in dedicated sacrifice decks (or some grindy BG decks like you mentioned) and I find the pool of good BR cards is so deep that I'd rather have cards that belong in those decks but also contribute to discard/graveyard synergies etc...

My tolerance for OP nonsense is higher in Cube than elsewhere and I haven't found Uro to be too offensive. In other formats it rewards you just for playing Magic - in larger formats everyone has fetchlands and cantrips, in Standard/Historic you fill your deck with cheap interaction in a third...
