I've played a ton of Historic on Arena so I knew all the cards. My first draft was this Esper control deck. Three Wraths and a bunch of removal can't go wrong. I think that, unlike other cubes, Field of the Dead is fairly strong and should be palyable even when people take lands as highly as...

It's hard. At first I had a lot of ramp and I quickly realized I didn't need most of it to support Gruul Midrange. It always seems you need more than you actually do. I can't talk about the right number but I can tell you it's probably less than you think. I think megaramp as an archetype is...

I can see that. If it helps, I think taking a piece of paper and starting from scratch by putting the cards you truly want in helps a lot. It helped me shed a lot of filler and my cube is far more typical than yours. I think it can be done but it will be difficult at first since, like you say...

I don't really know. I fear it's going to get stuck with bad hands a large amount of the time and lose to a sweeper or removal spell on the right creature. I didn't know how to trigger Inga's death trigger. Three creatures are a lot. Perhaps a wrath or a sacrifice effect? But it's in blue and...

Your cube is fairly standard, so I felt pretty confident drafting it: My first deck was thsi one. I first picked Rofellos and went hard into ramp. You have a massive amount of mana dorks, far more than is probably healthy or needed. I could pass Fyndhorn Elves very easily. The goal of the...

I'm sorry to hear that, I just wanted to lend a hand. Really, it's normal. My cube is a extremely standard stuff and yet it has taken me more than a year to reach the point where I think it's ok. I would try to draft archetypes with the explicit goal of overcoming a crowded board of 2/2s and...

Ok, let's do this: Fierst I drafted this Boros deck. It was fairly straightfoward except I felt the curve was not kind to the archetype. There are too many 3s. I know the cube is shifted towards 2s and 3s, but it felt very akward. I also believe some cards (Phoenix of Ash) are much stronger...

For some reason Cubetutor starts to think and never stops. I can't draft it, sorry. :(

I first attempted to build a deck around Inga Rune-Eyes but failed miserably, I don't know how it should work. Inga Rune-Eyes My first draft went very poorly. I overfocused on ramp and green when I picked Vernal Bloom and I derailed. https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/6017245cd70a8b1048079e53...

I actually talked with the devs about this. Less than a year ago, Cube Cobra was extremely kind when it comes to lands. You could always draft whatever 5c nonsense you wanted because they were massively undervalued. They tried to improve the bots but they found another flaw: Even better bots...

I'm bored. That means I should be writing or playing games to write about them or some other nonsense. But no, this time I'm going to help you test your cube by drafting. You guys have been helping me test mine so it only makes sense to return the favour. Link here your cube and what you want...

Your opponent won't even have a chance to target it. The way the card is written allows you to plop it down and use it without passing priority to the opponent. It simply won't stay on the table, ever. For all intents and purporses it's a sorcery, not an enchanment. But that's not the issue...

Dom has been kind enough to draft my cube a few times and I truly appreciate it because he makes some great stuff: BR Aggro Sacrifice: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/601665d1e98c6d0808f800a0 WG Tokens https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/6014fbafb427771050aa0b6b UR Spells...

I run Uro and I suspect it's going to get cut sooner or later. I just haven't been able to exploit it yet. I just like that it's a unique UG card that cares about the graveyard which is absolutely what I want in my cube. For me the big issue is the life gain. I've found that even small amounts...

It's extremely strong. At worst, it's a 2-mana Crucible of Worlds that kills random creatures.

Sorry, I was thinking of Limited as opposed to Constructed as a whole, not really about retail limited. I just see time and time again that people don't draft lands in cube. And I feel the only reason I have had success with Field of the Dead is because people don't and I pick them all up...

I like Field of the Dead in Limited but it only works because people don't draft lands and you can end with 5-colour abominations with 12 different non-basics. I don't think it works with anyone who knows a third-pick Volcanic Island is great.

I think Phoenix of Ash is extremely easy to recur for an easy win. Three cards are very few, you'll hit much higher numbers just by playing your creatures and burn spells. If they fail to have a blocker or several removal spells, you can easily knock out half of their health with it. I don't...

Today I took all my proxies, lack of red and everything, and played with a friend at the club. He really liked grid drafting and confessed he was very sceptic of the idea of drafting with two before trying. It was a chance to actually play the cube in person instead of just theorizing. I do...

The thing is: Is it really something my decks want? I can see it being a good second-tier card for Wildfire decks and non-blue control. I'm going to consider this: Hornet Queen -> Avenger of Zendikar Fact or Fiction -> Careful Consideration This one is odd. I think FoF is a lot of fun...
