    General The Draft Exchange

    So I hadn't done one of these in a while, so I decided to so one for each of the last 3 people to post (sorry Onderzeeboot, I'll draft it again soon). I seemed to be in a 4+ colour mood while drafting these. It is nice that you all have decent enough fixing for these decks to appear. First...

    I guess the real question is when can we run another one? Acceptable answers: 1. Right now! 2. After Dom and Safra fight for 4P-Grid supremacy! 3. Who are you and get your grubby mitts off my cube!

    General Great Cards to go deep on

    I won't steal you know what from you know who... So instead I will post the card I love to talk about the most: Mesmeric Orb I should have gone deep on this card. It feels like it doubled in price overnight :\ Can be used as a control finisher, combo with Lab Man, fodder for Goblin Welder it...

    They do qualify as win conditions, but due to both you and Safra having non-black removal (Shriekmaw and Malicious Affliction respectively) I knew it had a decent chance of staying on the board. Plus flying is a big boon, as the ground was always clogged up in all of my matches (what use is the...

    Community Project: 4-at-a-time Battlecruiser Cube

    I'll leave it in. Have to have some removal that is better than others. I wanted to put in Utopia Vow, but that would be violating my own rule, and feels fairly similar to Declaration in Stone. I guess we can squeeze some in there and call it premium. I just don't want peoples big threats to...

    Peregrine Drake combo in pauper.

    So Alex Ullman, the most noted author in the Pauper world has written an article with all of the new spoils from EMA. It has 4 different Peregrine Drake lists all of which are pretty rough to start with (heck even the Esper familiars deck is almost the same as I posted above) but they give an...

    Peregrine Drake combo in pauper.

    Ok. I have some time free tonight. Let's do some brewing. First up let's just throw it in some old shells: So that will be enough with trying to cram it in with old decks. It is hard to know what to take out. Also the fact that you want to be running it with Mnemonic Wall and Mulldrifter means...

    Card/Deck Balance: Reasonably Efficient Non-Etb Creatures?

    That is one of the cuttroat problems cube has. When you run whatever you want you always gravitate to things that are good. No one runs Runeclaw Bear. Even though it has been a decent playable for every limited format it has been in, it just can't cut it in cube (even pauper). Everything you...

    Peregrine Drake combo in pauper.

    I don't think you need it to be the same deck. You no longer need any cost reducers to get infinite mana, so you can run more disruption. I was thinking of brewing something up, or maybe just throwing in the combo into my Acid Trip deck and see what happens. If I ever go deep into it I'll...

    So I played against Jason yesterday in a great 5-game set. Since I have now played both opponents this was my deck: I kept doing a lot of swaps during the sideboards. Against Safra I would bring in the Prowler and Inquisition and take out Karn and Thoughtseize. Against Jason I would bring in...

    Community Project: 4-at-a-time Battlecruiser Cube

    After commenting about Declaration in Stone I didn't want to seem like a 'Negative Nancy' and keep throwing down your ideas (Peter LeCara). Personally I think Afterlife is way too good here. I claimed that Crib Swap was the best card in my deck whenever I drafted it in the old MTGO Legendary...

    I can't allow declaration in stone. I don't want any removal that costs less than three without a significant drawback. Would you mind shifting it to something else please :)

    Sets [EMA] Eternal Masters Spoilers Thread

    I've been following this set from a Pauper standpoint, as these sorts of products generally make a dint in it somehow. The best part was how many cards they reprinted that had high prices. The following were all way more than they should have been: Daze Hydroblast Pyroblast Ancestral Mask...

    The Video Game Thread

    I've been pretty slack when it comes to video games this year, I just haven't felt the need to play them. That said, I did just pick up the new Fire Emblem game (Fates) and have been enjoying that doing a chapter every night in bed before I go to sleep. What makes Overwatch super addictive...

    General please critique my (first?) Doomsday article

    I also had the same question as Anotak. Are there any decks that would try and run this without Lab Man? But then I thought I would check out your old Doomsday post and found this reply: ... and you do touch on this in the article: It just doesn't feel like you touch up on it enough in your...

    So some of you may of forgotten that we did this. We finished up the draft a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to plan some games. Safra and myself got to play each other today and we had some pretty tight games. So I was on BW control and Safra was on Mardu aggro. Which lead to some...

    Obliterate Cube

    Dude, that post was awesome! Finding what archetypes you wanted, seeing where they overlap and finding what colour pairs needs archetypes was a great process to follow. It feels like this is what most people are asking for when they first post their cube list here but you went above and beyond...

    General Planeswalker Deck design challenge!

    For my fishy mistress: Rare: She likes her big creatures, so why not make it a double tutor? The goal is to drop the Kiora next turn then she ramps you 1 so you can play a 6 drop the turn after. Had to include the discard as instant speed better than Divination seems way too good. Uncommon...
