    Thinking of deep cuts to 540 list

    I updated the list again, thanks to some more donated shock lands. My friends are the best.

    Card/Deck Sands of Delirium

    Is it worth a spot in cube? Or does it ruin games? I added a Millstone for fun a while back, and it gets drafted, but hasn't destroyed any games. I want to add a few more cards to enable a mill strategy, but don't want to accidentally do bad things to the environment. Anyone have any...

    Alright, someone show me this Utility Land Draft I'm missing out on. Please?

    General Is this results oriented thinking? (I lost.)

    I will get the removal number together for you. You need it separated by color?

    General Is this results oriented thinking? (I lost.)

    I won a Mirage sealed event in high school thanks to opening three Incinerate and three Dark Banishing and some non-zero number of Kaervek's Torch. I wasn't very good, but I knew enough to play all of the removal. I traded in my box of Mirage prize for store credit, which I'm quite sure I spent...

    General Is this results oriented thinking? (I lost.)

    Looking back, I had three outs to the Angel. In one of the games, I drew four cards with Disciple of Bolas when just crashing in for 4 and either trading with a blocker or getting through for 4 would have mattered more. He was at 5 when I scooped, but those 4 damage or him losing a blocker might...

    We had a small 4-player draft last night out of the newly cut down Birthday Cube. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/28489 I ended up drafting what I thought was a pretty solid BG Zombies list. I was doing run stuff like Satyr Wayfinder into double Gravecrawler and Wooded Foothills and...

    Carrion Feeder has been good in R/B decks with things like Zealous Conscripts and Act of Treason. He's not amazing, but he's solid.

    Thinking of deep cuts to 540 list

    Cube Tutor list now updated to reflect a whole lot of cuts, additions, more cuts, a few more cuts, then correcting the cards like Kird Ape into the right spot. Link: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/28489 I'm sure I need to add a few cards here and there to get the color balance more...

    Pretty fair in limited uses so far. Is pretty much a 4/4 for 3G. Not bad, but not amazing either.

    I just want to say that I have awesome friends. Two of my friends went to a store 40 miles away last night, took a binder of bulk rares that a different friend had given me, and brought me back all this: Utter End Dictate of Heliod Chained to the Rocks Valorous Stance Delver of Secrets Delver...

    Card/Deck Someone sell me on Birthing Pod (but first, long backstory)

    I hated walkers when they came out. I felt like they warped the game around themselves to a level that made it not fun. I have the reputation locally for "ruining the game" because I played Upheaval-Psychatog at FNM and Saturday Standard events for over a year. I wish I was lying when I say that...

    Does it count if I only knew two out of those three cards? Someone get me a Craterhoof Behemoth!

    Thanks. A few questions. You say that Silverheart is one of the only ramp targets. I want green ramp to be good, but so far, no one has done anything impressive with it. What else would you suggest? Overrun was kind of my attempt at a green finisher. Would something like Garruk Wildspeaker be...

    Thinking of deep cuts to 540 list

    Thanks for all the feedback. One of the more frustrating amusing design constraints for me right now is budget. Not that I don't have the money, I just prefer to wait and build slowly. All the shock lands and fetches and all of the rares in the current cube were given to me by my old Magic...

    Thinking of deep cuts to 540 list

    One thing I don't have a handle on is how many "destroy target artifact" and "destroy target enchantment" effects to run. I'm sure it's a personal bias, but I want some form of Disenchant available to me. What's the consensus for a good amount in cube? Also, what needs to find a way into the...

    Some guy who was in his middle twenties and didn't quite have things figured out. He was kind of an ass, but he turned out okay. I'm beginning to see the downside of Nemesis, I was so wrapped up in "he's so cool" and wasn't worrying about "he's so uninteractive."

    Thinking of deep cuts to 540 list

    I was just going over my 540 card cube and I wanted a few extra opinions. Basically, I built this cube as a 450 card peasant list to play with friends for my birthday. Since then, I have been given a few binders full of cards and a small stack of fetches and shock duals and whatever the cycle...

    I got the True-Name Nemesis cheap. My local Wal-Mart had a stack of the commander decks that were crushed. Got it for $9.88. I'm cheap. And Ninja of the Deep Hours is so awesome.
