    GiftsForgiven's Riptidian Synergy Cube

    Well, I kind of view synergy on a gradient. I tend to dislike 'full synergy' cubes, for various reasons. I prefer cubes with a healthy amount of synergy, with some goodstuff woven in (i.e, sylvan advocate for example). I think you can have synergy and goodstuff in the same cube, so long as the...

    From the sound of things, you've taken a few stabs at it :p

    GiftsForgiven's Riptidian Synergy Cube

    I don't mind a generally wide power band in general, but I'd like to ideally like to keep the super draft-warping cards out. Well. In this cube, at least. :p I wish Lyzolda's ability cost less, or that she had a better P/T Ratio. She's a bit bleh, but I really need something to cement the R/B...

    GiftsForgiven's Riptidian Synergy Cube

    Open question: Is Dack Fayden too strong for my cube? I feel like Saheeli Rai is a bit anemic for what I'm trying to do, but there are just so many things for Dack to steal here. Nothing immediately game-ending, like a blightsteel colossus, but his steal ability will likely be active against 70...

    Nanonox's cube - 450 multiplayer

    My general experience with Multiplayer drafts has been that (if you don't have an insane combo deck in your cube, which it doesn't look like you do), blue cantrips lose a large portion of their value. The more players there are, the longer games take. The longer games take, the less crucial it...

    Sets Modern Masters 2017 (MMA3?)

    Looks like a killer draft! Still holding out hope for Chalice of the void... there's like 3 legacy decks that I want to build, but don't want to shell out 70 a pop :/

    Personal notes: Falkenrath Noble a possible good pick for B/R Sacrifice theme? Attrition Possibly too strong (especially with Liliana, the last hope in the draft. May need to cut Lili for Lili OTV, or a different option. There are quite a few X/1s in the draft... Feldon of the Third Path...

    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    I usually run 25 of each- that's enough to hedge the possibility that there is a monocolored player on top of one or two other players who are fighting over the color. I can't imagine youd need more than that, and tbh you're probably fine with 20 of each.

    I'd love to, but no :c I'm just going to visit some friends and take care of a few university things. I should be present at the triple GP weekend in Las Vegas this summer though!

    Sigh, a Cube

    Pacification array is one of the best artifacts to come out of Kaladesh. Do it!

    GiftsForgiven's Riptidian Synergy Cube

    Update: The cube is officially in a place where I am comfortable purchasing it in order to further refine it (it helps that it's a budget cube, for the most part!) The drafts seem fairly intuitive to me, and the archetypes are mostly well-defined. I'm still a little leery of reanimator as a deck...

    Hey guys, I've noticed a lot of you cube with Jori En, Ruin Diver How has she worked for you? Is she higher power than she looks?

    I'm just getting the feeling that it's kinda boring... but maybe just a fat p/t ration on an evasive beater is just what decks like simic need...

    I'm actually just trying this out in the cube i'm building right now! It seems sweet, although I wish there could be just a -few- more 'big bomb' payoff cards...

    GiftsForgiven's Riptidian Synergy Cube

    Alright, I've made a BUNCH of changes based on feedback. White: I increased the efficiency of white removal by a fair bit. I'm still going to try to get away with not just dropping every 1cmc exile effect, but the removal suite should be a fair bit more efficient. Prior to this, I added a few...

    That was an incredibly insightful assessment, thank you! I think you're quite correct about a lot of individual card choices. I will be making adjustments based on a few of your suggestions.

    Man, there's a lot to unpack here. It seems I hit a nerve :p (jk) I'm going to break down a few points that I'd like to respond to- not because I don't think it's all worth responding to (it is), but I don't write streams of consciousness very well. Well, that or my streams of consciousness...
