So I've been busy writing, reviewing and playing other nonsense games like Vampire The Eternal Struggle so I haven't thought too much about the cube. However, Inscho has which means I need to steal ideas from him again. Let's go back to work. First, I'm going to replace all the Ravnica duals...

I've been dissapointed by Eurovision lately. Too few silly or trolling songs :(

Kenrith is a bit dumb in that gaining 5 life is a lot and it can often gain you 10. If that's fine for you, then he's probably fine. The other abilities are expensive so he won't run away with the game at all. Note that he's not a 5 color card. The important abilities are white and blue...

Ah, Inscho's update day. Or how I call it, the "let's copy whatever he is doing" day :p

I agree Titania is probably better than Squee. It's like having a Mox Diamond and Ancestral Recall together.

Bloodthirsty Aerialist, no question. I don't think anyone is going to be happy running Malakir Familiar if they are not in the archetype and it's a blah support card for it. I would rather run Aerialist which is good and accept the parasitism.

Thassa's Oracle, no question. You can win on ETB and it's cheaper than the other two.

I just wanted to say that I'm liking the set's design a lot. It does a lot of things right, even if it has some flaws: - It's a multicolour set that feels very different from others. - It focuses on just 5 guilds that can be stretched from aggro to control - Cards feel fun and powerful...

I think Mana Drain is in a whole different league than all those other cards. By far. To me, Mana Leak is pretty comparable to those three though it's probably the weakest of the set (it costs 2!). Either way, I believe both Mana Leak and Remand are the most powerful versions of the effect...

I can't imagine Mana Leak being anything but tier 1 interaction.

I think the Mox Cube would be fun and a great example of how different a cube can be, but it might be a bit impenetrable.

I used to always have a couple good decks but the introduction of so many staple rare cards into Historic has put a serious damper into my collection. I have a pretty good, but outdated, WB Enchantment deck but I also tried to build WG Collected Company and the deck hasn't been good at all.

Ok, some more thoughts regarding the last draft. First, I couldn't help but think of Funchalot's explanation so as to why he runs an all-duals manabase instead of a mixture between the original and Ravnica ones. He runs them because he doesn't think there's any pick order difference between...

When is this set released?

First of all, thanks a lot for your tips they are great! I thik they give me a perfect perspective to start redesigning reanimator in my cube. I'm going to read it all carefully and see what I can do to follow your advice. With that said, I drafted my cube at my club with six players from a...

So, what'st the appeal of Sneak Attack in synergy-based cubes? Sneak Attack What can I do with it that isn't cheating Emrakul into play?

There should be a reanimator deck but it's not as well-supported as I hoped. It simply doesn't come together as often as I would like. There are 2 cheap reanimation spells, two more expensive ones. But even if you do get a bunch of those spells, it seems the threat gets answered and you lose...

What do you think of these upgrades? Ashen Rider Woodfall Primus Not sure what could upgrade the Hellkite. And yeah I know these two cards are 8 mana instead of 7, which seriously limits their ability to be played. Do you think it will be too bad?

Thanks for the suggestion DBS. If our number is low, we'll do that. Still, if we have, say, six people, how should we draft? 3 packs of 15 cards or it's better to choose something like 4 packs of 12 cards each? The latter seems less distorted than the former. --- On an unrelated issue, I'm...

I've organized a Cube draft at the club this Sunday and I've been thinking how to make it go smoothly. I'm going to have players who are very good and players who haven't played in years or even decades. The good news is that if they take fixing highly and remember to take more 2-drops than...
