This is the kind of cube I have been trying to theorycraft after the retirement of my wobbly cube. If it isn't too much to ask, I would like to throw some ideas at the wall and see how you like them. I was theorycrafting what I would think UW would look like and I came up with 3 different...

Trade Routes has been decent in the Inventor's Fair, as the format is meant for long and grindy games, it gives you an outlet to convert your lands into resources in the late game, most of the other time is there as a threat to pair with Drake Haven to act as a Goblin Trenches. I think it...

I haven't tried it, but I play it a lot in commander. It is okay, it is usually just a nice trick you can bring out with Sunforger. It just costs so much. You can combine it with Cataclysm, but that is 8 mana. You would also never be willing to hold up 4 mana over the course of a couple of...

I've always been a fan of GW Legendary reanimator. The goal is to abuse Loyal Retainers and Survival of the Fittest to get a big legend out quickly. There are obvious spinoffs to the combo as well and you can make an archetype out of it: Outlets: Survival of the Fittest Fauna Shaman Wild...

Retirement of the Wobbly Cube It's been a long time since I have done a cube draft, and even longer since I have given my 'main' cube, the 'wobbly cube' a draft. Around 2 years, if I am correct. Or at least that is how long since it has been updated (according to cubetutor). I have been...

I think your videos are great Gnoll, they have decent visuals, editing and your voicework is smooth (one could say 'buttery-smooth'). Although in saying that I have only watched the Bramble Sovereign and Titans videos so far. I endeavour to watch the rest when I am piqued by the topics they...

Yeah, it probably is just a North America thing. We don't really even have a Burger King here, as they rebranded it as Hungry Jacks here for some unknown reason. I guess I just see it in a lot of the media I watch, which is part of the problem with American media, they make it seem like they...

If you want a sac outlet in RB, then there is only one that hasn't been mentioned that should fit the bill: Tymaret, the Murder King He has been doing solid work in the Inventor's Fair cube. He does pretty much everything Lyzolda does but costs one less and doesn't restrict you to just black...

Those are some low odds. Has there ever been one this odds-on to win? It seems okay I guess, it's the drop that makes it, otherwise it would just be too much of a lull for me. Not too sure how how I feel about our entrant this year, we usually do pretty well even though we aren't...

GP Sydney 2019 I said that I was going to write up any significant MTG things that I went to earlier in the year, so even though the GP (or Magicfest now I guess) was about 4 weeks ago now, I thought I would write up what I can remember. Thursday There was 10 of us from my hometown that...

Yeah, I have been picking up pieces of your cube throughout the last couple of months in a bid to make a similar format. I am going to aim somewhere between yours and inscho's cube. I just don't want to have moxen in my cube because I feel like they still fundamentally break the game, even...

One for you Onderzeeboot:

Sometimes, you have no idea what you are doing in a draft. Sometimes you crush everyone and 3-0. On those rare occasions both can happen at the same time: Ones 1 Resolute Watchdog 1 Sky Tether Twos 2 Faerie Duelist 1 Slimebind 1 Collision // Colossus Threes 1 Senate Courier 1 Steeple...

I've been having mixed success with this set so far. In my IRL Prerelease, I picked Orzhov and built removal.dec. I had 10 pieces of removal and just 2-3 drops otherwise. It was okay. I managed to go 2-1, losing in the last round to Double Rakdos Firewheeler both games, which is just absurd. I...

I knew what it was, without the hint, but I thought I would give others a chance: Indestructibility Here is one for you:

It won Dom an SCG Open, so I would think he has a pretty high opinion of it. In cube though, I just don't think it does enough. I like Oracle of Mul Daya or Mini and Denn instead as atleast they do other things instead of just allowing for extra land drops, which by turn 3 you don't have that...

Cube is looking reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy sweet. It feels like a riptide vintage cube, which in saying that, sounds like my dream format. Doing busted things without it feeling like anyone has no chance to catch up. Just curious as to how you draft with 4 players. 4 packs of smaller size? I...

How bizarre was it that your teammate also made it to the finals of the event? I have a hard time making day 2 of any GP, and yet, two people who had made it to the finals of the previous SCG Open manage to meet again at the top tables in a room of hundreds. Do you feel moderately lucky? Or...

I keep copying and pasting into a text file if I do big posts, as this has happened to me more than once and it really is demoralising. My problem is I accidentally refresh the page, which is the real killer, as you can sometimes get it back by hitting the forward/back buttons on your browser.
