I've seen Primal Might see play in Standard and it was much better than I thought it would be. Spending three mana to get rid of an utility creature and blast face is a surprisingly good tempo play. You need a deck that wants to smash face, though. The main advantage over Prey Upon is that you...

I just want to say that Terror of the Peaks Is a lot of fun. I wish it were a 4/5 so it could survive Wildfire because the ability and risking it getting blown up is interesting. Also, totally busted with Uro. Everything is busted with Uro.

I drafted Blackmsmithy's cube a bunch. Here are some thoughs I shared when he asked for advice for UR Spells. I'll divide it in "Core", cards that lead me into the archetype, and "Support", cards that will rank higher if I'm in it but that aren't part of the archetype per se. Blue: Pteramander...

I was bored and thought about making a low-power cube. But I don't want to repeat the same themes at a lower power. What are some cool archetypes that are not the usual spells matter, blink, aristocrats, artifacts, etc?

Sorry, what I meant to say is that there are many cards in your cube that have a lot of added complexity for very little gameplay gain. For example, the possibility of playing Temur Charger facedown or flipping it over to give another creature trample is so small that it's not meaningfully...

Really glad you had fun drafting it! I don't know what BDIF is but I haven't found UB Artifacts to be too common. Artifacts as a whole probably is a touch more common, but since it can take so many different forms (Wildfire, Reanimator, Midrange, etc.) it's rarely an issue. I also expect people...

I drafted your cube a couple times. Some thoughts: 1) I had difficulties with the art style. I had to check many cards to see which ones they were and what they did because I did not recognize the picture. Seeing Link does not make me think of Den Protector. Many of your alternate art styles...

You'll probably want to revise all your spells to add more 1cc spells. Just replacing a Volcanic Hammer with a Shock can help a lot. You don't need a huge number because a 2 mana creature that brings back any removal spell or cantrips is bound to be good. Don't forget about Reckless Rage!

You want cheap artifacts. These decks need early interaction and cannot afford to spend large quantities of mana not affecting the board. After all, in order to recur Witching Well you need 2U for Emry and then 3UU to draw two cards. That's such a massive investment that you'll lose the game...

What proxy-making website do you recommend to print out the cube? I'm getting things ready to print them soon. I have more cards in my collection than I thought, so I might save some paper :)

So, at a glance, I think my cube is finished. It can be improved, but there are no longer any cards below the treshold of playability. Sure, I can replace Paradise Druir with something a little more fitting (Werebear?), I might replace a creature with a white control card and so on. But I'm very...

Is Seasoned Hallowblade actually good? I wasn't sure if it was or just looked the part.

The CubeTutor AI is better. I should actually port all the changes so I can try with those bots. The CubeCobra one seems to have a very short "memory". If I don't draft an archetype or card in a couple passes the bots start to forget about it. So if I happen to draft a couple tempo decks I start...

A couple days ago MC Usher drafted my cube a bunch of times. But it was not my cube as it stands now, but the old version I have on Cubetutor and which I haven't updated in quite a while. At first, I was sad because he did a lot of drafts and he has helped me a lot in the past. I felt I had...

This deck exists in my cube and while it's difficult to draft into it, it's a very good deck.However it's not aggro, it's Pox. It's difficult not to end up in actual BR Aggro or Aristocrats, though. The key cards are all you've mentioned plus Smallpox, Braids, Avalanche Raiders and the like. I...

You can run Expansion/Explosion if you want this kind of effect. Copy effects are always a bit wonky. After all, for the same cost as Twincast you can play Counterspell which is safer, can hit creatures and more versatile. You can run then, they are not bad cards, but you would rather have a...

Time Spiral This is a powerful card and the graveyard reshuffle effect is very interesting and good. However, I'm not sure of what decks are the best to use it, storm aside. Thoughts?

So she's like a Chromatic Sphere...

Elspeth Tirel What can you tell me about this card?

I decided to run Grapple with the Past over Winding Way because I found more decks wanted the filtering, Raise Dead effect and instant speed than they wanted the efficiency of Winding Way.
