    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    thoughts on the 'showdown turn' it's probably worth talking about "combo", and what i mean when i'm talking about it! two-card combos are boring (my very first pauper cube game i got presence of gonded out and it was just such bullshit, the deck went 3-0 and sucked) and are a rough proposition...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I ran it for a little bit, it's really really strong. Sweet card, but if you didn't draft memory's journey or loaming shaman or kozilek then you'd better check yrself b4 u deck yrself If nobody plays differently as a result it'll probably end the game in four or five turns. If you're okay...

    OJ's C is my current fave azorius spell, it goes in more midrange decks than Rev and you can't chain revs anyway (sorry tiago) just always relevant

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Sire rules, run him ASAP. forget this mana rock bs and just reanimate him t2-4, though (also support flashback across all colours, plus activated abilities and the top-end goes down a lil warkite is, to be a little glib, fine, but how many gold slots do you actually have thoctar's power is for...

    it's a group scene with a "host of enemies", so obv. a thermopylae ref. since akros is basically sparta, in theros Mizzium Interceptor (poss.? card in japanese) 2U Flash When ~ ETB, change the target of target spell or ability to ~. 1/4 (want it gotta have it)

    General Draft Subgames

    No, it's getting some modern and Legacy play - it beats tasigur in the mirror. Grixis delver runs a 2/1 split, for instance, and that's hardly a fringe deck.

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    my format's 'critical toughness' is two, so I think it's often cast for just X=2 or 3. It's divisible burn (ish), contribute's to green's flyer hate, and lategame it's really something fierce. Taking out their big threat, overkilling a spirit token, and doming them for six is pretty impressive...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    it's about how willing you are to run a card that's only good in a very specific type of deck and whether the payoff's worth it. if your counter decks don't do things like modular or evolve to move counters i don't know if the average case is really going to cut it even without getting into the...

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    def go aristocrat if you want to support sacrifice value decks! she's really aggressive, but olivia lets aggro or midrange decks steal their opponent's big creature, and, uh, their opponents are prob. gonna have some pretty big creatures! mostly it comes down to whether you wanna push aggro or...

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    Sure! you don't have a lot of ramp but the ramp you do have is really strong, so a spell with utility wherever you are on your curve (especially if you ramp and then flood!) seems pretty good. Of the options Defiance is i think the best/most fun, and goddamn does casting it feel good there...

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    just run BTE as a green or red creature, whichever you need more of right now - it's not really restrictive to cast like your other options are my suggestions: Clan Defiance Ojutai's Command Olivia Voldaren Voice of Resurgence Tidehollow Sculler Izzet Charm e: fun fact, olivia's name is an...

    thinking about this (e: and lucre's post!) further: interaction loosely happens when someone gets to point at two cards for the other person interaction more restrictively happens when you take an action that disrupts the opponent's line of play -supboint: the casual nature of cube means we...

    General Fight Club

    Mostly out of curiosity - if nobody had praise I wasn't going to test them as much. I have a pile of cards I keep meaning to try, those were the non-boring ones near the top. A sourpuss reply is just what that calls for, don't worry about it! Mystics is a solid role player in white creature...

    since i acquired a kiora/elspeth duel deck i find myself in white control a lot more, the art is basically a home run for the character and it somehow looks even better in person although tbf my colourway does rep cream and marigold
