I guess I felt like it was the creatures that were the problem, not the card draw. Drawing more cards is only as good as the things you can actually draw into. On a personal level, I love having tons of card draw in blue, but forcing it into other colors to for creatures that can close a game...

you say your card draw is too good, how did you reach that conclusion? I'm mostly curious because I've never reached that point (in my past cubes, blue has alway been buffed continuously, not nerfed). When looking for card draw replacements, I guess the first thing I would try to figure out is...

It was pretty good when I tried it. Its worse case scenario is when it just feels bad in a "flames of the firebrand 3-1" situation, but most of the time it gives R/G some reach. Unfortunately, my actual R/G decks rarely wanted it, and it more often ended up being a splash for G/U or G/B durdle.

I had a few minutes so I spammed a bunch of quick drafts. I don't promise they were optimal, but a few thoughts: - Power variance: I see pieces of the sacrifice aggro deck. I see pieces of the prowess deck. I see a few pieces of other small themes (artifacts/enchantments/lands-graveyard...

I'm going to agree with all of this. The only thing I hate about top is how long it takes to resolve on cockatrice. Also, I once went super deep and put in 2 tops (I was trying out a top of the library theme.) Someone managed to assemble the combo of 2 tops and monastery mentor in play. It was...

In general, I would lean towards worldbreaker. I guess if there are a lot of planeswalkers you might to want to blow up, that's a point in sylvan's favor, but I don't think the free forest is a big deal once you've cast a 7 drop.

I've never tried recruiter (but maybe I should). I've been running a 3/2 flier for 3(U/R)(U/R) that does the same thing as dark dwellers and its always a blast, so I could definitely see doubling up on that effect. In general, I love the prowess/spells matter decks. Like the sacrifice aggro...

I agree. Especially since, according to Aoret's description, I could potentially play a bunch of fetches that only get 1 relevant land type for free. But when I'm doing the drafts, I only spend a minute or two putting the final deck together so I have time to do another draft. I assume its more...

First 2 picks were young pyromancer, then I got solidly cut out of blue by the bots. But I think I managed to do ok in the end www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/524487[/url]"] Ones 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Lightning Bolt 1 Reckless Charge 1 Steppe Lynx 1 Steppe Lynx 1 Steppe Lynx 1...

This brings up something I was wondering about. What is the end goal? I understand the focus of the cube, but are we going to actually play it, or is it more of mental exercise?

I feel like I tried this at one point, but I couldn't find it in my cut cards mse file. My guess is that its probably pretty good, but naturally limited by the power of the spells you're getting to flashback (and its color).

I definitely wasn't saying it was too much. The format looks like its going to be even durdlier than I anticipated, so I'm 100% ok with there being downsides to running bouncelands. That being said, I have fetchable wastelands in my cube and my favorite card to cast is bloodbraid elf, so I may...

I think this idea is pretty cool. My only worry would be the public, non random aspect. If everyone drafts what's open and is willing to play whatever deck, then no problems. But most players have preferences. If the packages are too specific, I could see weird situations where Player A...

Harm's way is the most flexible I'd say. It may do less than emerge unscathed in combat, but it can slot into decks as a weird shock. Emerge is good enough that it can fit into pretty much any power level where creatures turn sideways. Ajani's presence seems less powerful on average

Turn 2 on the draw, spreading seas their newly played bounceland? Savage.

Commune with the godssatyr wayfindervessel of nascencydiabolic servitude So I feel like this cube is just asking for some self milling graveyard shenanigans. I like these cards because they provide some filtering for green even if you have minimal graveyard synergy and aren't the good ole...

In the interest of wayfaring temple and generally including more "glue" cards secure the wastesfrom beyondawakening zonenest invader And yes, we definitely want 0/1 and 1/1 eldrazi tokens for maximum clarity

Temples are kinda cool since the bouncelands can reuse them.
