Small aside on this: you might try out Sewer Nemesis if you want a different kind of black four-drop. He's not a very popular pick for most, but my group raves about him. Back to the main discussion point, I'm starting to see the appeal for Purphoros as I re-examine my black and red sections...

That's interesting...totally contradictory to what I've read about them, but it kind of makes sense. I have two problems with this cycle: 1. Except for Thassa, all the other gods are four drops, and there are probably more cube-worthy four drops sitting out than in it. 2. The indestructibility...

For those of you who have had the privilege of cubing with the new God cards from Theros, what has been your overall impression of each of them? During yesterday's draft, someone suggested that I jam all five of them in my cube. My research indicates that Thassa, God of the Sea and maybe...

Not sure if this has already been discussed here or not, but it's always fun to get fresh ideas from others on this topic. What do you use to store/sleeve your cube(s)? This is my current cube box...

Wow, this is a lot more response than I had anticipated. I thought I was being a little overly nerdy when it comes to keeping stats on my cube, but apparently I'm somewhere in the middle of the road. I did not think to write down everyone's list or their first picks or anything else like that...

Without knowing more information about what you're trying to promote in the guild section, or within various archetypes, or the cube overall, I would say that Tithe Drinker is weaker than the other two. Unfair decks probably won't care about it, and the casting cost makes it harder for aggro...

One of the things I do whenever my cube gets drafted is something we refer to as "the stick rule". It's pretty simple: - During each pack, everyone reveals the "stick" (last card picked) so I can write them all down. - There's a column in my cube spreadsheet where I keep track of how many times...

This discussion on the oppression generated by the Swords is really interesting. My group has had some pretty mixed results on each of them: - Body/Mind is by far the most annoying, or the one that has caused the most trouble. It has drawn comparisons to Jace, Memory Adept for its ability to end...

I recently changed Exclude to Arcane Denial because Exclude was really just an aggro/midrange hoser. Denial is a much "fairer" counter that not only targets all spells equally, but comes with the price of drawing extra cards. I really liked the "fairness" concept and I'm not sad to see Exclude gone.

Fortunately that's no longer my problem, as I was able to unload him for Brady, Jordan Reed, and that wonderful #1 pick mid-season.

It really is. Unfortunately my startup draft was astronomically bad and I finished dead last again this year. My team is a laundry list of injury and failure, from Kaepernick and Crabtree to Cobb, Nicks, and Trent Richardson. At least I traded for the first two overall picks next year.

I'm like a superhero with no powers or motivation

This is probably the least nerdy post on this thread, but I'm currently in the middle of a city basketball league and a winter bowling league. Both events end with varying amounts of beer consumption. Wisconsin winters FTW! EDIT: Oh, there's also the dynasty league for fantasy football. Four...

This has only been a cube for about six months now. - In the beginning, the multi-color planeswalker decks and blue-based control decks were winning most of the time. - I've recently been putting a lot more effort into making the aggro decks better. Theros helped that effort a lot, with a new...

@Living Death: No argument there. @Makeshift Mannequin: I think the flash part is the main appeal for my group. Aside from Necromancy, the rest of the reanimator spells are all sorcery speed, and if I'm going to cast Dread Return on two different turns, I think I'd rather have Unburial Rites for...

These last few comments are exactly why I continue to run the card when no one else does. Thank you all for the reassurance. Might as well try another one that I run but haven't seen much elsewhere: Makeshift Mannequin. My locals all love it. It's like the love-child of Phantasmal Image and...

Someone mentioned Aether Mutation a few pages back, but no one else really commented on it. I've personally never played it, but on paper it seems like it would only be good in slower, mid-rangey matchups. Any matchup where one or both decks are built for speed would not care for it. I'll...
