    Card/Deck Ug... What should I do with my Blue-Green section?

    Mystic Snake Shardless Agent I'm currently running only these two, but I am often tempted to cut them completely. I do not know what a UG deck should look like in this cube, apart from BUG graveyardy stuff. What are you guys doing with this color pair?

    Card/Deck Tokens

    It's about time we had a general token thread! (*salutes*) I want a GW token theme. The reason is I want try again with the RW double strike theme, a GW token theme, with good anthems as crossover. I have a few questions for yall. Firstly, who here even runs a token theme? I never hear about...

    Card/Deck White One Half Drops

    I've been going through my creatures really critically now after all these color-number-drop threads, and I have a massive problem in my white 1/2 section. Right now I'm only running this one: Little Girl I haven't seen any other options I've liked, and Little Girl is really not cutting it...

    General When Is Fixing Too Good?

    I run double shocks and double fetches. The last time I drafted my cube I 3-0ed with a 5-color tempo deck. I adored it, but I lost a game every match due to mana problems. It was really loose. Another guy on my team built a sweet Naya zoo deck, also with horrendous mana. He mulliganned a lot but...

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    A few weeks ago I saw Cytoplast Root-Kin and I got really excited. It's a 4/4 with a couple neat interactive abilities. I loved graft when I was a (younger) kid, so I started thinking about making this work as a cube deck. I looked through all the cards that have to do with +1/+1 counters and...

I'm trying to find some value graveyard stuff for my durdly black and/or green decks. Devour has some crossover with my white token makers, so I just need to find the right...

    General CBS

    This is a thread for assorted Cube Bullshit. (Moved from GBS) So on Saturday I played in a PTQ (went 5-4. My deck was better than that, but "slightly better than average" just about describes me as a magic player). After 9 rounds I finally managed to get 6 people together for a cube draft! I...

    The Book Thread

    I think I need to find a book that I will enjoy reading. I recently reread the first three Harry Potter books in a few weeks, and blew through the Scott Pilgrim "books" the other day, but mostly I'm forcing myself to read shit like Moby Dick, which just takes me forever. I miss the old days when...

    Card/Deck Mill in cube: yay or neigh?

    A friend of mine has a creatureless cube (a bit of a misnomer, there is only one creature spell, the zookeeper. Sometimes we call it The Empty Zoo), and yesterday we had a four man draft. I always draft mill in his cube, partly because I relish the opportunity to mill people out, and partly...

    Card/Deck Life from the Loam

    I just traded for a copy of Life from the Loam, and I've never played with or against this card. Should I put it in my cube? I run 10 fetches, Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, Strip Mine, Tectonic Edge, and 8 different manlands. The cube is 429 cards right now, and I'm trying to cut it down...

    Card/Deck Removal Spells that Do Other Things

    This has been talked about a bit, and I might be forgetting a thread about this. But let's get a list of removal spells that have other modes. I drafted three times the other night with this guy, and it felt like my cube had too much removal. So I'd like to cut down on all the terrors and keep a...

    Custom cards?

    I'm just starting to use cubetutor, so I don't know if this has already been brought up. Can you make custom cards on cubetutor? I have two in my list.

    Card/Deck White Aggro

    I'm currently looking at making some big changes to my cube. You've all finally convinced me to break singleton and try out the recursive black aggro/zombie shenanigans archetype. That's all pretty well documented, so it shouldn't be too hard. But I also want to make the white "make cheap guys...

    Card/Deck Fencing Ace

    I run Fencing Ace and I want to make it work. However, I just made some massive changes, cutting all 5 swords and all 1 Batterskulls. Naturally, there's a lot fewer ways to do cool things with Fencing Ace. These are all the cards I see in my list that work well with it: Mirror Entity Pianna...
