    Soltari Guerrillas This looks neat! Any thoughts?

    General Show me your discard and graveyard synergies

    Riptide Lab is all about lackluster graveyard themes, or so says, Waddell. Yet we don't have a lot of information on the topic beyond squadronning Gravecrawlers threads made several years ago. As I'm reworking my cube, I would love to see what you guys are up to. Show me neat things you do and...

    General Fight Club

    Phyrexian Ghoul vs Stronghold Assassin Two pretty different cards. What do you think? Why do you like each of these cards or not? On a similar record. Is the additional toughness so important on the Ghoul? Phyrexian Ghoul vs Bloodthrone Vampire ---- Let me add another one Stitcher's...

    I took the clickbait. Is this what I've been doing to people? My god

    Yeah, it's what I feared. Oh well. Thanks for the suggestion too, Onderzeeboot, but I was interested in the Rat because it was a 2-cost creature! :)

    Pack Rat Is this actually useful as discard support or is it just about pumping out copies?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've worked a bit more on my red creatures. I'm very happy with my 3-drops but the others could see changes. I decided to add Seasoned Pyromancer. Seasoned Pyromancer Seems like it's in a good spot to support several decks in the cube. His addition pushes me to 31 creatures, but two of them...

    General Small archetype packages

    I like Golos and I like Crystalline Crawler, but I don't like the other cards very much. I think playing an extra land every turn is not very useful at 2G and Chromatic Lantern is a bit too dull for me. Chamber Sentry is very clunky and very mana-intensive too. But I do think something similar...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I think the disruption is the most important part of that deck. The problem with green, creature-based decks is that their spells do not interact with the opponent´s plan. But this list has quite a few spells that do, even the Voracious Hydra matters. I've gone back and forth on the third...

    I've been thinking about weird cards. I wonder if someone has found a place for this in cube: Food Chain My gut tells me it's less useful than Phyrexian Altar but the design is very cool.

    Crawlspace is a nice design, but two creatures is too much, as is three mana. I tried Silent Arbiter and it never worked. It's expensive and if they can remove it you get punished hard. I never found many decks that actually wanted the card.

    I just drafted this very neat deck on CubeTutor and I wanted to share it here: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1243378[/url]"] Ones 1 Elves of Deep Shadow 1 Llanowar Elves 1 Retrofitter Foundry Twos 1 Gather the Townsfolk 1 Imposing Sovereign 1 Kor Skyfisher 1 Lotus Cobra 1 Scavenging Ooze 1...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    By the way, I want to note: All removal in the cube is a placeholder. Its power level is way higher than it should be and it probably makes all those nifty decks and large creatures unplayable in practice. I'll tone it down once everything else is sorted.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Fire Imp works, but it's a very uninspiring design, the real card doesn't match its functionality and it's pretty much a small Flametongue Kavu. In other words, It's a purely aesthethic issue hahaha The problem I have had with broad archetypes is that they weren't truly broad. As in, they...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    It's L5R tournament season and I have a very strong deck so I'm not much into Magic lately. Still, working on the cube is fun so I decided to steal some ideas from Inscho again. I first looked at aristocrats support and it doesn't seem like there's a large difference between what he and other...

    nightmare shepherd How powerful or snowbally is this guy? I've never seen him in action because I've killed him on the spot every single time in Standard but it seems extremely strong with the proper support. Thoughts?

    Arcbound Ravager is such a cool card...sadly, I haven't been able to make it work. You need quite a lot incidental artifacts or a focus on artifact aggro/counters to make him worthwhile. In the end, I found he asked too much. Very neat card, though.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    So I've been tweaking cards here and there. No big changes, a few cards coming in and out, the usual. The issue I see is that I don't really know what I'm doing on a design level. That is, I can tweak cards one by one and see if the cube improves. But that's slow and not really all that well...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Exactly. While it will happen sometimes, I don't think it will happen very often. Three creatures is a lot, spercially if you want to lean higher on the mana curve as GR usually does. And if she might trigger, your opponent might just shoot her with a Firebolt before she can provide card...
