I promise, this is the last thread. https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/5ce3c87a-d756-4a7c-a5da-dce0c5f5c7cc I've tried to manifest my love for the original ravnica block numerous times. Actually, it was what brought me into the world of cube in the first place. But RAV block is tricky. It is...

I think just scry N would be weird for a map. I feel like it needs some connection to lands. I also wouldn't be shocked if Ixalan got a deeper lands theme this time, maybe more landfall as well (fingers crossed). Too bad, seems like a perfect opportunity to use a big mechanic for two sets in a...

How is your enchantment theme doing? I could imagine that WoE gave you some new tools. Even excluding roles – even people less restricting with tokens do often – there should be a decent amount? Virtue of Courage Bitter Chill Cooped Up The princess takes Flight Also, even though you don't run...

Looking for basic effects, maybe maps get you a basic land from the deck? Like Traveler's Amulet? If so, that could lead to another draft environment where you could easily go ham with colors. Also, does Kellan here mean, that we get advetures in Ixalan too? Would certainly make sense for the...

I've considered charming butcher myself. Bloodmage is clearly stronger to me, it draws a card without sac fodder around, makes a better token and wrecks a gy based deck completely. But ratatouille is cooler.

I've just recently realised, that my Cube was celebrating it's 10-year anniversary this month. I've checked cardmarket and found out, that it was the 6th of September 2013, that I've first bought cards explicitly for my cube. Before, in 2009, I had quit magic and sold all my cards, except those...

True, but take into account how subjective that is. For example, in our most recent draft I had a friend who had drafted a {B/G} dredge deck leaving Varolz, the Scar-Striped in the sideboard. He had a lot of self mill, beefy guys like Daemogoth Titan and Gurzigost and cards like Awakening Zone...

That's smart but could also be tricky, since you have to calculate the generically good stuff cards almost every real draft deck ends up with. But I really like the idea.

Should I look more into revolt cards? Absolutely. Have I considered this before? Not at all. Am I thankful for this inspiration? Certainly. But my G/X landfall archetype also wants to utilize stuff like Rampant Growth, Emergent Sequence or Void Snare. After my success with Ore-Scale Guardian...

It's not a party if no one laughs Demon's Jester (or bleeds to death)

See, with 18 vistas people can easily end up with 4 or 5 fetches in their deck plus maybe a bounceland. Vinelasher Kudzu is a great 2-drop and having it attack as a 5/5 flier on turn four without even trying seems too much – even with the risk of it being a bad topdeck later. Without or only...

Goblin Guide GG is less expensive and less of a menace in constructed these days, but what does that mean for a cube that hasn't that power creep going on and is still happy casting Rakdos Cackler, Jackal Pup or even just Flameblade Adept? Is the guide's drawback more of a thing in a cube where...

I have a very specific problem. I have a lower powered cube with a very fetch heavy mana base. I love my 18 prismatic vistas so farfor several reasons and don't want to change that approach. But now, I have to tame some of my landfall payoffs. I have already cut Plated Geopede, will definitely...

Past saturday I've had another draft happening in my home, and I was very happy to introduce a very good friend of mine to the group. I've used to draft and play a lot with him, but it was the first time he managed to come to our new place and join this playgroup. But back to business. Because...

If I got Erik right here, inefficiency isn't the same as being narrow. I would argue that three of the four cards in his dark depths package are narrow but it's still efficiency because they enable a whole new archetype with few slots.

Even if Rusje does think that ... why does it bother you so much? Please don't take this as offense, but sometime you just need to accept (very) different points of view, even when they seem "objectively" wrong to you. I remember when @Landofand and I disagreed in a discussion about the...

Okay, guess it'll be syndic :) Woe thanks, that reads convincing. It's not that I am in love with either option, but when you want a red 2-drop with 2+ power that lets you madness a wurm on turn three, your options are very limited.

Seeker of the Way Syndic of Tithes So, on face value most people might pick seeker. But what if the deck playing this 2-drop is an aggro deck that only has like 5-7 noncreature spells in it? What if it also cares about lifegain triggers?

Great read, thanks vince! Cube really is it's very own animal, in that it's by far the way to play mtg where you have to think the most about the experience others will have playing with you (or your game pieces, more accurately). Being a cube manager is almost like being the DM in a D&D game...

Talking of 2-mana artifacts that geberate value when things die ... Agatha's Soul Cauldron This one is expensive, but I assume it's more because of some weird combos in constructed? It doesn't seem particularly high powered to me. I've cast it once in retail. It put two counters on my...
