I agree with JW but think flash creatures are an important piece of the puzzle as well. Since the lower-powered flash creatures by and large suck, it comes into it more when you're getting to include guys like Venser or Clique I think? Stoneblade is a deck that packs spot removal, a flexible...

I'm on Mana Leak, it's just so good with Snapcaster.

The countertop win is the lock, Jace and Entreat (and, lately, Monastery Mentor) are a formality so you don't go to time every round. Even people who like playing the matchup (future Miracles players all) know that the lock is the scariest part of the deck. The kinds of soft locks available in...

I know I cube decent number of those cards, so if the intent is to be able to host drafts of different cubes then I can't see it being a bad idea. The trade binder of the available cube doesn't have to be the same as the total set of cards the account owns. Just a thought from the peanut gallery...

stoneblade is also a control deck, it's just a control deck with an uncounterable turn 3 batterskull

JVP is absurd but i don't know if he fills the same role as JTMS (or Snapcaster) so people are still pretty bad at evaluating him. I remember at one point I didn't really care about facing him in Legacy but the reanimator and shardless lists with him have given me new pause. He's a busted return...

I run Bloodthrone and she's great. Forces awkward blocks, gives you Esper aristocrats with OJ's C, and it's not like she's a 1/1 when it actually matters.

12/360 plus two flip walkers. Wouldn't mind going down to ten or so but this is fine. Quasi-Superfriends shows up sometimes, but it's rare to see more than one walker in a pack, and so it ends up with, like, four walkers total. That's one or two a game in the dedicated deck, which feels...

Definitely on Treetop Village, there's few cards I like more than manlands. Delver and snap Goggles are tempting, though. Here's another pack: (zoomed)

I think it's a function of a couple of things here though; Birthing Pod is one of the decks new drafters of my Cube often fall into (a guy test drafted it on CT and built Cataclysm Pod! <3) and they're typically pretty stoked about the deck. I think the card is just less interesting in slower or...

Have you found Raze to be playable outside of Flagstones synergy? Very curious to know if it's good for a Cube. e: VVV thanks!

RBM does and apparently it's great. I've definitely thought about it. Has anyone here actually cubed Skinshifter?

The kinds of cards I like in cube are generally playable to start with but have a play angle or deckbuilding caveat that lets them do fun and interesting things. The phrasing I've settled on for it has been 'broadly [good] but narrowly [spectacular]' which is a difficult band to lock down, but...

when I ran it I got to play the 1UUU line of 'okay, flash in snapcaster, blocks, withdraw snapcaster and your last attacker' a few times it ruled also speaking of counterspells somebody tell me not to or i swear to god i'll cube this piece of garbage: Dispersal Shield i'm thinking it's like...

You can also 'rhystic withdraw' back your creature after it blocks

Ursulay, and I really want to play that card.

also, like, slower but more resilient aggro actually can beat a Wrath, it's one of my favourite things to do in cube actually, ver. indiana jones

Monastery Mentor, a three-drop, is such a powerful finisher it created a new Vintage archetype. Check out some of the control decks in my cube; they rarely go beyond 4- or 5-mana spells. http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/410576 4 with one 5-drop http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/407810 4 with...

We had an exciting discussion about combo in cube not too long ago; if you missed it, the thread might be worth checking out. There was a bunch of discussion on how archetypes (using yr definitions here) can meld and supplant each other, 'pulling' the cards in your draft in different directions...

There's also these death trigger guys, now available in CoCo: Reaper of the Wilds Catacomb Sifter
