    Not too sure how well it goes in cube, but I have drafted almost two Ghitu Chronicler's in every one of my DOM drafts. They have been a really great card. Stemming bleeding early and usually bringing back Fight With Fire when it is possible to be kicked to actually finish off games. Let's...

    General The Cube Contest

    Not sure what thread it was mentioned, or if I should make a new thread, but there was a new 'you make the cube' variant that was given a chance to run for one week only. The uncommon cube! It looks like they will be putting up niche cubes for a week for a different experience, then pulling them...

    Time to bump this since there are now previews: Partners: The partner cards seem interesting for cube. Do you squad them? Do you run multiples? Running them just as themselves in a normal cube would be a bit confsuing as you would be looking for the other cards too much. Pir is good...

    You're not the only one. I read about a paragraph into everyones replies before I realise I have no idea what anyone is talking about and move onto the next post. I feel like I am not cultured enough to care about these ideological debates, so I don't butt in, but it is nice to know I am not...

    They also decided to release 2 Planeswalker decks in China and they are legal in Chinese standard and all other eternal formats. It just seems weird that they would release something that can be played in one countries standard format and no others. Here are the Planeswalkers in question...

    Dom's Stream of Consciousness

    Yeah, I was going to do a post about GP Sydney as well on my blog, but I take forever to write posts at the best of times, and with the amount I wanted to cram into it I just gave up. If I did any cubing I would feel more inclined to post it, but I always struggle to be concise in what I want...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    If your playgroup expects it to cheat in big fatties then they may be disappointed but being able to get back a Mindslaver or Triskelion, would be just as good right? Here is one of your decks that you drafted: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/914300[/url]"] Ones 1 Enlightened Tutor 1 Pacification...

    Modern-Environment Cube

    How is the cube coming along? Doesn't look like the list has been updated in a while. It is a bit hard to give critique on just archetypes when there isn't cards behind them at this point, but I will give it a try! Do people find land destruction fun that it can have a whole archetype built...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    The strongest payoff for red and artifacts has to be these guys: Daretti, Scrap Savant Goblin Welder You don't run any PW's so I don't expect you consider Daretti, but goblin welder is a very fun card and one that makes you happy you went artifacts. They are pretty much the only two payoffs...

    A deceptively bad cube

    Have you done any drafts IRL? I would like to see what kind of decks appear and do well. It is always hard to try and get a grasp of cubes of varing power levels and I am not used to one in your vein. What was the deck that went undefeated last draft? What was the deck that didn't win? If...

    Commander Cube

    To answer your two concerns: 1. I don't think you can ever have too much fixing. This is just my view, but considering how many cards can actually make your deck in the end it is nice to always have some 'free' picks. Which is where the lands come in. Plus, this is multiplayer, and...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    It does need a little bit of support, but let's say you are already running Madness in BR, then you have already have enough support, and that deck and splash for it if they want. You would usually have a couple of looters in blue so you don't really need too much to make it a great build...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Syndicate Trafficker Has been a surprisingly good card. Is more aggressive, but still very midrange, as it blocks like the best of them and makes the board work to you. Herald of Anguish Has been decent whenever I have played it in standard, yet to play it in cube yet though. Looks more...

    General Pick 3: Cards Since Battle for Zendikar

    There was one card I was going to suggest since I am in love with it as much as Aston and Oketra's Monument, but Vince already beat me to it: Thraben Inspector This card has been a fixture of standard, pauper and cube since it was printed for me, even though it took a little bit for me to...

    General Pick 3: Cards Since Battle for Zendikar

    To be honest, I was waiting for this reply. I was expecting it to be a post with Oketra's Monument 3 times and some witty one liner. I got close. So close...

    General [DOM]Dominaria

    Went to my prerelease and got a pile of rares that weren't very exciting for limited (Mox Amber, Sulfer Falls, Cabal Stronghold). Was going to play a midrangey WB deck since my white was easily my strongest colour and my black had a couple of removal spells and some middling creatures. But I...

    General Front Page Article - card kingdom's starter cube

    Apparently I can't read that it turns face down. I thought it just did all creature types for the rest of the draft :P

    General Front Page Article - card kingdom's starter cube

    I am happy enough with their manabase. Even without scrylands or bouncelands, it does the job of making 3+ colour decks possible (and consistent) without having to be in green. Case in point: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/899203[/url]"] Ones 1 Regicide Twos 1 Burning Oil 1 Echoing Decay 1 Fathom...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    Got to do another 6-man draft with 3 of the same people. All the decks were different which was nice to see. Here are the decklists: I got to play against this deck in the finals and it just out aggro'd me. It had a nice clue engine, which made Syndicate Trafficker an absolute nightmare and made...

    General Hello Again!

    I like to think I have made a thread just for people to catch up. Every year I get the most liked posts and throw them in a nice list for people to gander at. Usually it just consists of the Dankest Riptide Memes™ But mixed in amongst all of it are some of the more inciteful posts too. You...
