    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    On the topic of aggro slanted removal: Searing Blaze? It does cost :r::r: and pushes mono red which is kinda a design flaw? but it's not narrow like Ball Lightning and is just really really efficient. I also support Loyal Cathar! It's a lot of fun to sac and blink and shtuff.

    Eh, I think the aggro is better. It probably has enough speed and closing power and the colors are just better? In any case, thanks for the practice draft, even if it's not realistic/representitive. :) The only thing is right now the test pool is basically 50ish cards because of the overhaul...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    Oh I forgot to mention. For blue tempo, I really like Temporal Spring. That card is so sweet!!!!!!!!! It's like a blue-green Vindicate....as long as you don't need to permanently take care of the thing. But, even better than Vindicate, it can be Time Walk late in the game. It's also a solid...

    Hey guys, thanks for the feedback and thanks for trying out a few drafts! I do think though, that cubetutor does not give you an accurate feel for the cube at all. Especially since not many drafts have been done on mine, and so the most picked cards algorithm it's based on might be off...

    Forum signatures

    Signatures only show up on the first post a person makes in a thread? o_O Kinda weird, I'd like to more easily access someone's signature. Also, can the default be to show signatures, and people can disable if they want to? I think it's really important to show a person's cube along with their...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    • I haven't seen Cloudfin Raptor in the pool much from what I remember, but I played it once in a blue-red aggro deck in it was attacking for 2 in the air often, which seems about right :). It was a 3/4 a few times too. It's definitely more along the aggro spectrum than tempo though. • I have no...

    Well, I think with blue aggro/tempo the power is there (Geist of Saint Traft, Cryptic Command [so much better when one of the modes says opponent dies instead of i don't die for a turn], Venser, Shaper Savant, etc) but people have a misconception of blue as control, so the cards don't push them...

    On the first post, can you rehash out the main ideas / ideological changes / how it's grown since you started it? I want to follow along, but it's too much to try jump in and absorb all at once, even if I've read it all before when lurking :). And we all know how much use just looking at the...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    I like what you've got going on there! Probably because we have some of the same ideas / weird cards. :) I don't run power though, so some of my ideas might not apply... that being said.... I think the way to go with blue aggro/tempo decks is to include more cheap threats and more flash...

    Dom's Cube(s)

    Hey, check out my saved draft of your cube on cubetutor. (I hope it works?) I drafted a simple storm deck for you. In other words I ignored rituals, fast mana artifacts that produce more than they cost, and power. (I mean come on, 7th pick Time Walk is not realistic). Basically, I drafted it...

    Yea, I definitely agree with the idea you are presenting. I think it is a little different in this case though. I didn't design magic! People already have a preconceived system for card evaluation and it's hard for me to change that with my cube design. Even when they can see the offbeat idea...

    Thanks for the feedback! :) Voice is a proxy lol :rolleyes: ...as are the ABU duals and stuff....although now that I am about to graduate and start working, I'll have a lot more room to grow this. On the other hand, I'm moving and will have to find a new cube group :confused: The way I see...
