I'm...dubious, but I suppose weirder cards exist. Is that supposed to be a new frame and watermark for snow on Blessing of Frost? If so, that'd be pretty cool. If not, then it's a pretty nice touch. On topic, Vorinclex actually looks like something I'd run, as the body is pretty good without...

Seconding Onderzeeboot, the removal writeup captures a lot of thoughts I've had in a far more cohesive and comprehensive manner! BRB, re-updating removal in my cube.

So, the thing about Lorwyn is that they had a ton of great ideas about overlapping tribes (Benthicore, Bog-Strider Ash) and about including Changelings as glue, but the problem with how they made "overlapping" cards is that they don't serve in their typeline tribe. Take the Bog-Strider Ash I...

Fair point, Heroic is a poor example. It sounds to me like Mill might be a much better example for a parasitic mechanic closest to tribal, but Mill has the benefit of being able to target yourself and become something completely different. I'd love for you to elaborate on this experience at...

<3 Unfortunately, with the whole Party thing and Forgotten Realms, I think we're only going to see more tribal. Hopefully it's the good kind of tribal! You won't the only one disappointed if it's the, well, disappointing kind. I'm curious as to why you find tribal specifically annoying as...

Sorry to double-post, but Halvar looks like a great pickup for an enhancements deck, and, while I'm less happy to see another White four-drop curve-topper engine piece, the modality is going to make this a slam dunk for me. (Interactions with tokens, equipments/artifacts, blink, AND aristocrats...

To the point about tribal being anti-fun: I think that Trainmaster hit the nail on the head. Tribal designs are often miserably lazy. "+1/+1 and keyword" lords are incredibly uninteractive, and they snowball in draft--there's no incentive to run anything different. In a word, they are parasitic...

Blink would eat it up in a heartbeat. If you're playing any instant-speed polymorphs, that's also good. Pod is fantastic, and probably busted with the Stack. (hey, look, I broke Pod!) (oops, crap. Thanks for the catch, Sigh.) Morph becomes possibly better? It certainly becomes different. I think...

Hey, Magic: the Ghostbustering could be a lot of fun. But yeah, she's no Bill Murray--it would take a lot of work to make her fun enough for that sort of character to really shine.

Trade Mage? Tetra Mage? Good for CMC4! Trawler Mage, Trifle Mage, Trebuchet Mage, Tracksuit Mage, Trepanation Mage, Trombone Mage.

Looking at your cube, it's what I would recommend for the green member of your sideboard color hoser cycle. It's a liiiiittle more situational than the elemental blasts, but it's definitely stronger than Deathmark. What is White getting? Edit: Veil of Summer actually nullifies a surprising...

Oh boy howdy, how time does its thing. Yes, the first draft will be on the 6th! I'm looking forward to it--just have to finish moving by then! :confused:

Imagine if Spell Pierce cantripped and you're pretty much looking at Veil of Summer. In all seriousness, it's the ability to turn off counterspells in a world in which Simic and Sultai were the dominant decks that made it broken, and only in combination with a bunch of other cards. It...

Oh, worm. I honestly didn't know that we had a Discord--how would one go about joining?

Hey, no worries--I've also never drafted a cube before! For my draft group, drafting a normal set and playing three rounds takes us about three or four hours, and that's super casual. A lot of people take a couple minutes here or there to prep dinner, feed the cat, etc., and I'd try to emulate...

No, nominating your own cube is kind of the point! I just wanted to leave it open-ended so that if someone's cube wouldn't work well over internet drafting programs (Kirblinx's Type 4 Stack, Velrun's inscrutable board game, etc.) they would still get a say in what to bring!

2020! What a year! It stinks, and not the least because we haven't been able to cube. Let's change that by cubing together separately. I propose to draft someone's cube on the first Sunday of every month, probably around noon EST. Interested? If so, please sign up by posting here! This is NOT...

Penny sleeves are the real deal. Jokes aside, I've been very happy with Dragon Shield Perfect Fits for inners (https://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/236042) and Ultimate Guard Katanas (https://ultimateguard.com/en/ideal-fit/katana-sleeves-standard-size#/11-color_variation-black) for my outer sleeve...

I can second Dr4ft, I've been using it with a group of friends to draft old sets every other Saturday. Being on voice through Discord and playing over Cockatrice is almost like playing in person. . . . Heck, does anyone want to draft someone's cube over dr4ft some time? If anyone would be...

@TrainmasterGT--That's absolutely true, thanks for listing those! I too am bemused by the number of generic-sounding legendary artifacts. Also, I totally didn't know that about names often being off on leaks--that would explain a lot, though I also am probably getting too hung up on a name...
