Please stand by while I work out the bugs... That title is incredibly boring, but pretty accurate. My wife and I are working on a two player cube for grid drafting. I suggested we cut a color before we began, and suggested black. She said we might as well cut white and play "the exciting...

Hey Chris, thanks for the inspiration. My main cube doesn't get played often enough as we often have 4 players instead of 8. We have started grid drafting it lately, and this post has gotten my wife and I working on a 3 color cube for 1vs1 play. We shot for 162, but are currently 50 cards over...

I drafted a UR control list with both Wildfires and it seems fun. Would have liked to not see Top in the cube, that card always killed games. Your mileage may vary.

Wednesday night, Grillo, I promise.

So I am wondering if there are cards that people have had success with to support some kind of multi-color aggro strategy. I don't know if things like Kird Ape are worthy of inclusion, but I want to have the option to support 2 or 3 color beatdown past Wild Nacatl. Here's a link to the cube if...

Thanks for the input, Grillo. I get caught up in wanting to fix everything at once, often without drafting between changes. I saw you make this comment on another cube, "I suggest running something similar to this for about 6ish months, keeping track of what guild/wedge/shards are over...

Made a small change thanks to some insight offered here. Out: azorius chancery Dimir Aqueduct In: Mana Confluence Temple of Deceit Next on the thought experiment is how to get a few more payoff cards in the hands of the "weird" decks. I am looking at the following package in, but don't...

I hadn't considered how awful getting your bounceland hit by Flickerwhisp would feel. Excellent point. Thanks. I will be swapping those two out, likely for the Temples. Control decks like scry 1, right?

Greetings and thanks for taking a look at this pile of cards hoping to one day be a cube. In the past, I have posted the experience of not really knowing what I wanted out of the cube, and seeing it morph into varied stacks of things that didn't quite work. The cube has sat in its previous state...

Greetings. I am bumping this thread to the top in order to get more eyes on the ongoing process. My current list can be found here: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/39758 I have been enjoying the drafts lately, but it has been dominated by aggressive red decks and very slow UW decks. There...

^ Reboot post.

Once again, I want to thank everyone here for your great insight and thoughtful analysis. I feel like my cube list has came quite a long way in a short time thanks to all of the help and support of the guys here. I want to take the time to explain what I want from my cube because I appreciate...

Thanks again for all of the feedback everyone. I'm coming to realize that this process is longer and more difficult than I originally thought. Here's where I'm at on the current design. I was really excited to put a mill theme in the cube, but after pouring over cards and considering feedback...

I've added more cards. I decided to proxy up the enemy fetch lands to get a better feel for how the cube will look with them. Another idea I was toying with was dropping to 1 each of the enemy fetches and going up to 3 each of the shock duals. I'm closing in on the 360 mark and want to get your...

Just wanted to drop a note before I go to bed. I took the cut down list and started brainstorming cards into it. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/39758 It's rough. I'm tired. I will do more work tomorrow. I'm having real trouble balancing everything. Perhaps I should cut some themes and...

Thanks for all of your effort in working on the list. I'm really taken back that you spent the time to completely gut the list and ask very thoughtful questions. I had never stopped to consider the idea that my cube felt unfocused because I never spent the time to focus the guilds. I just...

I want to begin by saying "thank you" for all of the suggestions. I think it would help me to write all of this down, so that I know what it is that I want from the cube. It began as a box of junk commons and uncommons to have something to play for fun. I made a point originally of keeping...

I've been working on adjusting the power level of my cube for a few weeks. My concern is that I'm trying to force aggro to be good, but it keeps losing. Looking at my list, I'm seeing lots of really good 1 and 2 cmc removal. Has anyone toned down things like Swords to Plowshares and Lightning...

Here's a specific question: Should I look at removing the top tier removal? Things like swords to plowshares and path to exile and lightning bolt. I wonder if my threats are good enough to warrant good removal. Does that make sense? I'm not running titans or eldrazi or other cards that say...

I have been tinkering with my cube for several months now. It started as a budget cube cobbled together out of commons and uncommons and junk I had in shoe boxes. After the first few drafts, my friends began donating cards and trade binders and shock duals and generally being awesome. This is...
