Just over a month before the best 4 days in gaming. This will be my 5th year and most likely my last one for a little while. So who all is going? I'll be going with a group that doesnt play magic at all. So Id like to get a chance to meet some of you and play some cube. Ill be bringing my Modern...

My group LOVES this card. I gets picked really high here. If Im dedicated control its a card that makes me feel better having in my deck. It doesnt completely hose aggro (like Lone Missionary was doing) but it does help control stay in the game and find their answers. On average I would guess...

Yo Jason! I Finally get to try out Goblin Bombardment ... I mean Barrage of Expendables. Not as good since its got an activation cost but Im still excited to give it a try.

I felt like you shouldve either taken Counterspell pick 2 or Tarmogoyf pick 3. This wouldve set you up to be more aggressive than you were and probably end up Bant. As it seems though, and you mentioned this, you were pretty apprehensive to take green cards even after giving solid reason for...

Tomchaps ran an online Rochester draft of his $40 online cube. We used a spreadsheet that listed all the cards and then highlighted the ones that were picked and then made a post in a MTGS thread he had started just for the draft. The problem we had from that was it took way too long to get the...

Hi all. Im Sterling and I own a 360 Modern cube. I started playing Magic roughly towards the end of Kamigawa block. I didnt actually purchase anything until Ravnica came out. Ravnica got me hooked like you wouldnt believe. I started playing pretty competitively but it was also a little...

I think it needs to be mentioned that these aren't the only creatures your looking for when building a recursive deck. Udying and Persist also make the deck gel a bit better. Kitchen Finks, Murderous Redcap, and Geralfs Messenger are great in the deck. Strangelroot Geist is also good but we've...

CML: Im gonna be taking real close look at my land in the coming week. I aggree that I could make my fixing better and potetially add more. Im not a fan of Delver or Champion in cube. Neither are very cosistant. I mean if you find Lynx bad I dont see how Champion is any better. Both really on...

CML: Thanks for the Welcome! Hey man be as blunt you as you like. If I dont like your advice I dont have to take it but it will always be welcome so I can get ideas from a different perspective. Id love if there was more duals and fetches to add but there isnt in Modern. I have 2 design...

I just recently got my first playmat to sketch and wanted a place to show it off. I thought about just posting in my thread but I think itd be nice to just have a place to post any altered cards/playmats or just anything new for your cube. Ive had this play mat for about a month now...

We've been discussing going up to 450 but I think the group is happy the way the cube is playing right now. We can very rarely get a full so I think with 4-6 being our average 360 is feeling just right. So for now we'll just be tweaking thinngs here and there. Out--->In White: Lone...

Ive never gotten a chance to try Sarkhan the Mad. Vol was amazing for me in the deck I posted earlier. I never got to use the threaten affect but pumping my team and giving a guy haste is just awesome. Heres how one game went. T1 - Savannah Lions, T2 - Attack(18)/Play Stromblood Berserker, T3...

I honestly havent been all that impressed with him. We havent seen him in play a ton but when we have hes been rather lackluster. I was pretty disappointed when I first noticed the bats dont fly. Lifelink is an ability that either ruins aggro or doesn't affect the game at all. I wouldve prefered...

This was a lot of fun to play. If I wouldve had some more 1 drops I wouldve probably kept Armada in the side. Overall though it was the quickest most aggressive deck for the night and beat out 2 UB Control decks and one UG Midrange.

Why Condemn over Path? Condemn is a control only card from my experience while Path is taken by all types of decks. Unless you are all in on White Weenies I wouldnt think Honor the Pure would be good enough. How has it been for you? Glorious Anthem hasn't seen much play for us so I doubt Honor...

I was honestly concerned when I first added most of those cards however we just haven't seen enough of a problem for me to axe any of them yet. Yes Batterskull and Wurmcoil are annoying but no more so than Mana Leak and Cryptic Command. There are answers to these problems. Ill continue to watch...

Jason thanks for the reply. The high amount of Planeswalkers is intentional. The cube first started off as Peasant but after a few drafts we knew we wanted rares and mainly Planeswalkers. So the first ones introduced were all the originals. The playgroup has not once had a complaint about there...

Nice forum you guys got going on so far. I was looking for another place to discuss cube when I stumbled upon here. Im currently pretty swamped with work and summer stuff but I wanted to get my list up here quick. Ill post more details when I actual have the time but for now heres a link to the...
