I simply assume Looter il-Kor is unblockable. In fact, I would think twice about running him if he wasn't!

I like that card! I think it's a very good idea and not "all over at the place" at all. 1) Making tokens is clean 2) Tokens have fun and interesting interactions that straight mana or draw don't have. 3) The top end is very fair. Jayemdae Tome is clearly below power level, as is a 3-mana Ivory...

I'm still unsure of what to do with all the slots I have on blue and white, as well as the handful of cards in other colours. Since I don't know what to do, I decided to focus on what little tweaks I had pending. First, I completed my white removal package. I'm not very fond of it, because...

I love old-school, simple engine cards like this. What do you think of it? Equilibrium

For me it makes perfect sense. In my short experience, the best cube decks are those that have plenty of interactive bread-and-butter cards not just those that try to jam powerful cards. There tends to be no shortage of the later (just pick whatever is appropiate), while you can always do with...

For me the issue is that I don't like UW Control getting a free wrath because nobody else can play it. There's simply aren't enough decks that want a wrath and can pay WWU. There's going to be, at best, just one player at the table on that combination so it felt kind of dumb. -- Anyways, I'm...

Vault Skirge Spined Thopter If you would only run one, which one would you run and why?

Here's a deck I just drafted on Cubetutor. Didn't manage to get reanimation spells but it looks solid and show how UB may might into this: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1172113[/url]"] Ones 1 Brainstorm 1 Duress 1 Executioner's Capsule 1 Gravecrawler 1 Unearth Twos 1 Asylum Visitor 1 Brain...

A small tweak I thought about recently was replacing this: Thought CourierLooter il-kor For this: Looter il-kor Looter il-kor I also very much agree that Skaab Ruinator helps a lot.

I see many of you guys giving me cube advice and I just want to say: I often don't say anything because I don't know enough to give good advice myself!

So far Blue looks great! I've been making some small tweaks: IN Looter il-kor Looter il-kor Standstill Geist of Saint Traft Mystic Snake I've been thinking about how to make Tempo more viable so I went and checked my list for flyers and other creatures that could carry Mask of Memory. And...

I've decided to put Mystic Snake back in UG instead. Similar card but in a slot I'm happier to spend and which supports an archetype I want to make a bit more playable. Talking about forcing archetypes to be more playable. How bullshit is this card? Geist of Saint Traft On one hand, the "let...

But it would still be Magic, wouldn't it? What I'm trying to get across is that changing cards is not a fundamental change in design. You could have many kinds of Magic and, in fact, we already do. We could have Magic where mill is the main win condition, Magic where card draw is abundant and...

All right, I made a list of the blue cards I'm most sure about as well as some support cards. 22 Spells Faerie Conclave Brainstorm Brainstorm Brainstorm Gush Force of Will Daze Aether Spellbomb Chart a Course Trade Routes Remand Counterspell Mana Leak Condescend Blink of an Eye Tinker...

It does depend on what one considers a fundamental change. For me Pokémon is pretty much in line with Magic as a design. Sure, lands now go on creatures and the goal has changed to better fit its theme, but the play is very similar. It's simpler, because it was made for kids, but it seems very...

I'm reworking the blue section of my cube and one of my goals is to help make blue play better with other colours. This requires broadening blue so that it can better work in a support role for creature based decks, normally tempo or aggro. For example, I want to make Blue a better player in...

Sure, why not? It's a fun tutor because it has a cost and it puts the card directly into play. Getting a cheap Mindslaver if you pass through some hoops seems exciting to me. After all, I'm running Trash for Treasure which is a worse Tinker and Goblin Welder, which often gets killed on sight and...

Draining Whelk This card is very cool. Very, very cool. But how good is it? On one hand, it's very expensive. On the other, it's a counterspell plus finisher in one card and you can blink it for more. I'm sure it's better than I think but not great and I'm not sure how it would work in cube...

Before reworking blue, I've done some minor changes to fill empty spaces, better support archetypes and the like. Mask of Memory Smallpox Spined Thopter Vault Skirge Pacification Array Tinker Avacyn's Pilgrim Search for Tomorrow Yavimaya Elder I needed more equipment and I decided to run...

Now I feel personally attacked. :p
