    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Would the fact that Trike was the better card make you feel a little better? That said, the white 6 drop spot is completely up for grabs, I'm really not attached to Elspeth, but the alternatives aren't very attractive. Sun Titan, in particular, seems like it would be pretty dominating in my...

    Chandra's Phoenix returning to hand is a huge difference, this saves {1}{R} per recursion assuming you didn't want to return it to hand to discard it for some reason. In my experience Chandra's Phoenix is a little clunky because usually burn is aimed at blockers and this might be slightly...

    If only he wasn't a white 4 drop. . .

    Holy crap I didn't even realize that, the first 5 word dude and even brings its own doublestrike? Insane!

    WHY DO THE TOKENS HAVE PROWESS? THE CARD IS ALREADY GOOD, WHY JUST THROW IN RANDOM EXTRA POWER? FOR GIGGLES? Shu Yun is a total slam dunk auto-include, though. Pump and doublestrike is the only combo deck I support.

    Card/Deck Prowess in Cube

    Prowess is confirmed awesome. You probably won't be doing crazy stuff like you could in constructed like chaining 2 cantrips into cruise, but getting bonuses off of every random non-creature spell adds up to make these cards solid. Prowess itself adds some sequencing decisions and "does he have...

    General 180-card cubes in general and building one

    I tried experimenting with a low 180 list and was completely unsatisfied with the results. Cutting the design space is definitely the direction you want to go in, whether is be the total number of colors or some other form of controlling the diversity of potential decktypes. A generalist list...

    I like that card, but I doubt its got the power level for my cube, unfortunately. Fuck that white mythic. Overloaded here is an understatement. Like Brimaz from last year, any "cool synergy" the card has is overshadowed by insane base powerlevel.

    Card/Deck Green Noncreature Spells

    Overrun is good. Whenever I think about cutting it, it wins a game. Whenever I'm playing green, there is usually at least one board state where I lose a game, that if I had overrun instead of random green dude #45 I would have won. I'm sure there are a few games that someone loses because they...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Wait, is your Night's Whisper a black divination that gains two life for {1}{B}? That seems insane. I like the custom prowess card rout for blue a lot. Jeskai Elder is probably fine as written, the one drop flier is super important. You could probably make the base body 1/1 flying. I...

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    I found Geist and Stalker completely unnecessary for the theme to work. Boggle and Troll are fine as those cards pretty much suck without auras. As time went on I found myself using fewer and fewer cards that actually say heroic on them because they are kinda narrow. I probably could/should...

    I don't think you need another creature, if you don't have another creature, then the bolster dude gets the counters.

    10 power for 7 mana is nothing special. Armada Wurm is way better. Being monocolored doesn't justify paying an extra mana for a weaker card.

    Sets [C14] Commander 2014 Spoilers

    Sarkhan the Mad definitely has big upsides, though, as he can deal 10 damage the second turn he's out and can get insane if you happen to have a dragon in hand. Its a much more interesting card. Ob's +2 is massively underrated, most people calling it "a blank", which it clearly isn't, but it...

    Modern Archetype Cube

    Doesn't seem too bad. Most decks can utilize mana dudes and any fast deck can leverage land destruction. As long as there isn't anything like Spirit Guide -> Tinder Wall -> Seething Song -> Turn 1 Deus its probably cool.

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    I sharpied my rage forger to be tribe agnostic (he puts a +1/+1 counter on another creature you control instead of each other shaman). The card pretty good. Three mana is so much less then four, its not even funny. I just shoved in the paragon, I'm pretty sure its going to be useless.

    Article Cube Design - Tri-color Cards

    That's an interesting question. I run tons of land light decks, so 5 mana scares me a little, but Bant decks might not care about hitting 5 that much? Or maybe they do because they want to keep mana open? Another concern is that Cloudfin Raptor and Experiment 1 are often important cards in the...

    Article Cube Design - Tri-color Cards

    Siege Rhino and Butcher should be fine, they can make almost any deck that can cast them. I'm also running 4 tri-color cards. Rafiq has been a stud so far, he just fits in a lot of decks and wins games. Sidsi and Marchessa have been having the "third pack" syndrome where their clearly is a...
