Let's compile a list of interesting cards that support aggro dudes as the game gets long! I'll try to contribute later.

I like this topic. There are a lot more tough creatures worth playing further down the mana curve and I think you are right that we need to critically question which ones we include and what decks that want to win off of 2/xs need to do to win. My cube, for example, has tons of ways to make...

I mean, how bad do you want that scry 1? You can get this card could be cheaper as unsummon or vapor snag You can get it more flexible as cyclonic rift or into the roil You can even get it for free as snap I wouldn't call voyage's end unplayable, but there are a LOT of comparable cards out...

Jamming extort on Faith Healer isn't bad, but as someone who actually runs Syndic of Tithes and sees him make plenty of decks, adding another ability to him might not be necessary? Or maybe I just overrate that guy and its fine, if you test it let me know. Yeah, Femeref Enchantress with...

Yes! She's decent. Bad on most losing boards, but good on stalled ones.

One thing about cube is that each environment is unique and their isn't really a consensus on anything. When deciding how much non-creature removal to run, you've got to decide a couple of things: 1) How is the game impacted if enchantments and artifacts never get removed? 2) How are games...

I don't like Birthing Pod. I don't like tutors in general. I mean, I run a few of them, but in general I don't like how they effect the game. Birthing Pod is a repeatable tutor. I'm running Fauna Shaman right now, because I was thinking I wanted a discard outlet, but its also a tutor and I...

http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/decks-that-have-3-0d-your-cube.47/page-35#post-28340 4-1'd a 6 man round robin in December.

Ok, I'm going to make a confession. I'm not sure what The Great Aurora actually does. I understand the actual mechanic of resolving the spell, but I have absolutely no idea what that means. Also, my one regret in life was selling my V:tES collection.

This is a hyperbolic summation of my feelings on the issue. More succinctly, there are games other then Magic that are significantly better at multiplayer/politics/social/whatever, so when I'm in a situation where that's what I want, I play those instead of trying to hamfist Magic into the...

I meant an auratog with the lifelink keyword. He's clearly good with Spirit Loop and I did consider the card, but the impact level wasn't there.

Semi-related, I looked at both Faith healer and Auratog and decided neither of which were really good enough, and am now going to run try Auratog+Lifelink, which is good with both Demonic Pact and an enchantment theme. Constellation decks can outgrind almost anything, but are definitely...

Nighthowler seems somewhat comparable, which is definitely a playable card. This guy starts with 4 toughness, so you can run him out early and actually be useful, attacking into 3 power dudes or effectively blocking almost anything without evasion. He also hits for 1 more. He doesn't have...

I was thinking about 2/1@{1}{U}, probably trying it next update

Here is my list of interesting cube cards from this set: Stuff that gets by on power level Kytheon, Hero of Akros Jace, Vyrn's Prodigy Liliana, Heretical Healer Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Nissa, Vastwood Seer Archangel of Tithes Titan of Erebus Avaricous Dragon Woodland Bellower Demonic Pact...

This set is so great. There are just so many cool cards. There are so many cards that people are getting hyped about that people are forgetting to get hyped about other cards that in any other set they would be super hyped about! How cool is that?

Weren't we crying like two months ago about how Balancing Act and something else couldn't pull off being a second Cataclysm? I'm not sure how this card will play out in an environment where putting multiple dudes on the environment isn't a given, but it is certainly something.;

I had initially dismissed it as some random shitty 5 mana limited only burn spell, but after seeing it in one of your lists of cards you were going to try, I reread it and I think I'm a believer. I'm not really a big fan of wildfire, but this is top end red spell I can get behind

What's with Shambling Ghoul? I'm not seeing the appeal. Is three toughness so good that players want it with a downside and an otherwise black text box?

The card is nothing but a beater, so there isn't any other way to judge it. It has no ability to do anything other then attack or block. It has two triggers, one makes it harder to block profitable and thus more likely to do damage. The other makes it do more damage after if it does damage...
