Currently testing out Delve and Reanimator (hopefully one that isn't too poison-y) with the additions of these: Angel of Serenity Dread Return Murderous Cut Dig Through Time Treasure Cruise All of the enablers currently in the cube: Frantic Search Compulsive Research Looter Il-Kor Oona's...

I've been interested in cube ever since I first read one of Waddell's articles way back in Spring and participated in a couple of cube drafts on campus at my university. I've been a longtime listener of Maro's Drive To Work podcasts as well and have been intrigued by his thoughts on game design...

I know. I'm pretty sure it takes out almost every relevant threat right now since 5 damage is a big deal, but it's probably not worth diving in that deep into red because there's no other benefit. It's a 4 mana removal spell in a format that just got a bunch of relevant three and four drops from...

Everything except players.

Yep, that's the same exact place I got mine. Followed the etsy post to their main site and sent them a custom order via email. Talked with the guy in charge about a custom order for a couple of days and they had it done and shipped to me within two weeks. Eric, they have boxes on the site...

Ah, most Conspiracy games I played were just one-and-dones so no one ever got to re-use it. I'll see if changing between matches becomes OP or not. Usually whoever drafts Unexpected Potential just drafts a single card to splash anything for, not multiples. I dunno, it's pretty fringe atm and I...

The Conspiracy cards I'm using in my cube include: Dack's Duplicate Cogwork Librarian Cogwork Librarian Paliano, the High City Dack Fayden Deal Broker Backup Plan Worldknit Unexpected Potential The duplicate has led to some pretty sweet plays such as in our last draft when a guy sandbagged...

Haha, it looks like a tight fit in the pic, but I have it all double-sleeved in relatively new DS sleeves so there's a lot of air between cards. I can move around stuff pretty easily and the wooden blocks come off. But yeah, best purchase I've made in a while!

Additionally, after selling away a playset of Goblin Rabblemasters about three weeks back, I had a box commissioned for my Cube. Finally came in the mail yesterday and it's pretty sweet!

Yeah, that's the conclusion I reached as well. Bonesplitter is a sweet card; good enough that people actually want it, but not oppressive at all. I really like equipment that give +X/0 to whatever straps it on so that there's still the chance of the defending player to at least trade evenly. I...

So I bought a case of Khans for drafts at my university throughout the semester, but I couldn't fight the itch any longer and cracked a box. Then another. No more though, because I do have a little self control. I'm glad that I did open those two however because this set is just chock full of...

In an eight man, it's perfectly fine. I've run two drafts with it in the Cube and there was a Worldknit deck the second time around. I'm assuming that it didn't show up till later in the first draft. It's really a card that needs to be taken pack 1 to maximize it as it ends up being worse the...

Yeah, after hosting two drafts and seeing Sword of Wolf and Mill (took it out right after) and Sword of Fuck You Red lead to uninteractive games, I'm leaning towards not running any of them. I just wish I had some better equipment that people could be excited about. Minus swords, I'm at...

So this deck kinda ran roughshod over the others tonight. Somehow, it had the answer to each deck it faced right when it needed it: Ones 1 Duress 1 Brainstorm 1 Syncopate 1 Preordain Twos 1 Mind Stone 1 Baleful Strix 1 Counterspell 1 Go For The Throat 1 Miscalculation Threes 1 Serendib...

Held my first cube draft the other day (I'll put up my list here eventually) along with a Utility Land Draft. It was something new that most people at the table had never done with a cube before. They were a bit skeptical at first, but after I explained it and laid out the cards at the center of...

Jeskai Tempo deck did pretty well and won it all at SCG NJ. Mantis Rider looked to be really good every time I saw it on camera, picked up a playset online right afterwards for about $12. Good thing I did, it's shot up to around $8 and change per copy everywhere else I've looked online.

Jeskai Ascendancy ban-worthy? What? An Ascendancy Dork Combo sounds about as viable as that weird Thassa's Ire combo from JIN Pro Tour which was super fringe. People will play Anger of the Gods in the new Standard if it proves to be a good sweeper, which all signs seem to point to. Anger will...

Well, signed up for GP LA. Time to figure out what to play.

Oh yeah, I wish I could have done that. That was one of the few things I saw early from spoilers and was psyched to pull off. Would have been one hell of a beating with the format so slow.

Draft will be extremely interesting. In sealed, I was more or less scrambling to find pieces that would fit into my strategy since my pool wasn't all that deep (went Abzan). Minimal on-color fixing aside from the tri-land and refuge land I received in my seeded booster. I feel like the enemy...
