Are there any more people here who regularly play constructed tournaments? I just hate it to take all these cards out of my cube, but I find it just a waste of money to get a fifth copy of all those cards I am using for my constructed decks. o_O

I haven't adopted the Waddell's school of multiple copies yet (except for Squadron Hawk), so that's probably what keeps it in check. ;) Bloodghast is very good of course, but it's mana cost is somewhat restrictive. Here you can see a BW Stax deck I've drafted with my own cube...

At this moment I run these DGM-cards in my cube: - Aetherling - Lavinia of the Tenth (I don't think her pro-red is that big of a deal since she costs 5 mana) (would love to see some blink-shennanigans) - Varolz, the Scar-Striped - Deadbridge Chant (I've this crazy idea of putting a Eldrazi in...

Hello Jason, Thise article has been a while ago now. How do look back on your review? Have some cards dissapointed or surprised you? I don't run enough cubedrafts myself to come to somewhat definitive conclusions yet, but after playing with DGM for a while I've added some cards from DGM that I...

I just wanted to say I really like some of your custom made cards. Very nicely done!

Hello Chris! I read the article on SCG today, that also mentioned Grafted Wargear and I have seen more people high on this card. I'll be adding this card for sure, thnx! Like I said I'll just try the complete set of swords for a couple of drafts. I'll monitor those drafts carefully and will...

Always looking forward to the new episode of "Joy of Cubing". Welcome! ;)

Someone in my playgroup has been forcing this archetype a lot. He calls Worm Harvest and/or Spider Spawning important pieces of this grindy archetype. I've added Recurring Nightmare recently (although it breaks my own cube-rule as a non-modernfaced card), and I consider that also a card that can...

I definitely agree that Consuming Aberration is more fun. But like you said I wanted to include some powerful cards to support Mill as a viable deck in my cube. Most of the times when you can draft mill in normal draft (non-cube draft) it's mostly only a fringe strategy, and I wanted to make it...

Well a pretty awesome sequence I can remember is using the ability with Necotic Ooze from Mindshrieker (that was in his own GY) to respond to removal, milling his opponent and milling a Etherium-Horn Sorcerer (he had already seen in the game before), and bouncing the Necrotic Ooze. After that he...

I'll pass. But thnx for the suggestion! :D

Both the Sewer Nemesis and the Consuming Abberation have been considerations. Especially the 4-mana spot for Black was very tight. In the end Sewer Nemesis is somewhat of a vanilla creature that mills pretty slow. The Necrotic Ooze however is great. He provides so many interesting interactions...

I am probably going to cut the Mirrodin Crusader and replace it by Flickerwisp, so I'll have less cards that have or provide protection since I'll try adding the two swords. My cube runs 610 cards, so with a full draft about 60% of the cards will be in the draft. Because of that it happened more...

Looking forward to it Jason! ;) Some minor things I would like to point out. - I've added Sword of Fire and Ice and Sword of Light and Shadow only yesterday. I've never added them before since they tend to determine the outcomes of games quite a lot and I don't want protection to be a major...

Hi Eric and Jason, I've made a thread about my cube. You can check my list there. Feedback is always welcome, since I always look for ways to improve the list.

My cube is a primairly modern-faced cube containing 610 cards. Cards don't need to be modern legal, but printed with a modern frame like Vindicate for example. I've made some exceptions, but the ultimate goal is to make the whole cube modern-faced. Someone else I know already has a powered cube...

Hello Jason, When I started to create a (primairly modern-faced) cube I took Innistrad like some sort of blue print for my cube because I loved the Innistrad-format so much, Along the way my cube changed a lot and lost some of the Innistrad-themes like the tribal-theme. However one of the...
