    The Riptidening—Building my Cube from scratch

    If you want to get the lifegain theme to work, you may need to break singleton, as this guy is the main payoff card: Ajani's Pridemate Most of the other stuff doesn't really have enough incentive (trust me, I have tried to get Angelic Accord to work in my cube for so long). The new black cards...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Dude, I love this card so much it is unhealthy. It is the clunky-ness that stops it from being broken as all christ. Decentish enough stats with evasion for the cost to make you not feel embarrassed to drop him with nothing on board. In-built removal protection, sacrifice outlet and permanent...

    Card/Deck Restrictive Reanimation (or, tell me about awesome 2-drops)

    I wish these came from my cube. I just have a terrible peasant cube. I draft a lot of cubes here so hopefully their ideas rub off on me and I can create an environment I can be proud of. You can click the links on each of the decks to take you to the cubes I got them from. The first was...

    Card/Deck Restrictive Reanimation (or, tell me about awesome 2-drops)

    Well I could just go through gatherer and plug out some cool 2-drops with sweet abilities, but let others do that first and I can comb the trawls for the forgotten guys. I just want to show a couple of decks have been drafted from some cubes here that have used some of the cards you have...

    General Matters of Estate

    Speaking of Meloku, is this guy worth talking about or am I just on a nostalgia high? Soratami Cloudskater I don't think any of the other moonfolk are really worth considering (bar the patron) What about the other terrible land looter (that happens to be an enchantment)? Trade Routes Both...

    Timbers First Budget Cube - help

    Hi there! I did a couple of drafts of your cube and it seemed pretty cool in the lower-powered section with some interesting inclusions like Incremental Blight (such the blowout card I never see in cubes anymore)! The decks came out decently enough and the fact that I could recklessly splash...

    The Board Game Thread

    Just noticed there is a new Richard Garfield game being funded on Kickstarter. Seems a bit like munchkin, but has a drafting mechanic where most of the strategy comes into play instead of just knowing when to time your buffs. Doesn't seem intriguing enough for me to throw some money at it...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    I second this RG control motion. I like to think I helped Grillo with the idea with this draft in his redesigned cube about 3 weeks ago. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/366028[/url]"] Ones 1 Deathrite Shaman 1 Firebolt 1 Greater Gargadon 1 Noxious Revival Twos 1 Ambush Viper 1 Den Protector 1...

    Enemy Guild Themed Cube

    Gave your cube a couple of drafts to see what was going on and it seemed fairly solid. I even got in one of my favourite 5 colour durdle decks (shows that the fixing is satisfactory). So I only ever did one draft of your cube before the update, so I can't comment too much on why it feels...

    Card/Deck B/G Lifegain (Lets Durdle)

    Speaking of colourless lifegain, what about these? Jungle Hollow Radiant Fountain I am really wondering if 2x Radiant Fountain would be a good addition to a ULD. They put in so much work when I was playing my UR Tutelage deck. They also seem sweet with bouncelands. I suppose I should have...

    So I am guessing by 'Boring old Rally' you mean Abzan Rally? The deck I had been playing was some sort of terrible 5-Colour graveyard deck that was a mash-up between Rally, Chromanti-flayer and Sidisi Whip. Deck is fun as all hell to play attacks from so many (terrible) angles. Would have...

    Alphez's first Cube! Suggestions are very welcome :)

    So I gave your new cube a couple of drafts and it was a pretty fun experience. The abundance of fixing (and the fact that the bots are uneducated) meant that some of my decks ended up being 5-colour goodstuff piles eg. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/372289[/url]"] Ones 1 Brainstorm Twos 1 Abbot of...

    Rage Thrower This dude gets so much flack in my cube when the draft process is happening, but as soon as he drops down in a game they soon realise how quick he makes the game end. A suped up Blood Artist/Falkenrath Aristocrat can make any combat look like death for the opponent. Plus the name...

    The deck I seem to draft in my peasant cube more than any other is B/U Aggro Tempo, or what I generally just call 'Ninjas'. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/213606[/url]"] Ones 1 Diregraf Ghoul 1 Silent Departure 1 Tormented Hero 1 Tragic Slip 1 Undying Evil 1 Vampire Lacerator Twos 1 Dimir...

    2nd string cube

    I only realised when I was typing up that last reply that Grixis Illusionist that it only targets a land 'you control'. I was all ready to give some possible islandwalkers to make use of the effect until I re-read the card. I guess I wasn't the only one that thought it was better than what it...

    2nd string cube

    What kind of support? The blinking kind: Kor Skyfisher Whitemane Lion Stonecloaker Emancipation Angel Flickerwisp Stormfront Riders Parallax Wave Conjurer's Closet Or the value kind?: Lone Missionary Master Splicer Belfry Spirit Some possible cuts: Accorder Paladin: Fairly generic, doesn't...

    2nd string cube

    So I am wondering what the loose term for 'second tier' means. Is there any sort of ruling as to what can and can't go in? Is it something like the Hipster Cube, where it didn't allow cards from the Cubetutor Top 450? Just trying to get a handle on what you are looking for before I start...

    General Unpopular Fun/Effective Cards in Your Cube

    Is there a reason your walls are in GW? Is there some sort of archetype that needs the early game stall? Also, for my peasant cube I have this random card that people seem to disregard: Lashknife Barrier Replaces itself, screws up combat math and can even combo with these little sweeties...
