This is a cool idea, and makes me think of this: Predator's Blade (some combination of {R} and or {G}) Artifact - Equipment Devour 2 (except with charge counters) Equipped creature gets +1/+1 for each charge counter on ~ Equip -- sacrifice a creature, put a charge counter on ~ or something...

So after forcing the RB sacrifice deck in a two person draft, i found that, though it was possible to assemble, the deck is very strange, and not really where i want to be. Restless dead was by far the most important card, and the deck kinda just played like a bad control deck without it. Games...

that's what I tried to do with crawler and mutants prey. Oh well. I I think I'll just leave them as is for now, and see if it keeps causing confusion.. Anyway, I kinda like Crystal ball. Unfortunately, a gatherer search revealed that brainstorm type effects are super rare, either that or I...

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback! I knew the custom card replacement thing was gonna be a problem.... maybe i should change them to something super ridiculous so there's less confusion. Crazy un-set cards or something? Anyway, Eric, I'm surprised you remember me! I think i made maybe four posts...

First of all here's the cubetutor link: http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/8691 A couple important notes about the list: There are three custom cards, for which the cubetutor list simply has standins. I have the text for these cards below. Gravecrawler is actually Restless dead. Putrid imp is...

Thanks guys! I've looked at tcgplayer before but I was never sure if it was a safe place to spend money. Also, I'm checking out the website now and noticed they have a "mass product entry" system where you just can add a whole bunch of cards to the cart at once. Hallelujah!!

Where do you guys buy your cube cards from? I used channelfireball to round out my cube as it is now, but their selection isn't great when it comes to weird commons/uncommons, and the shopping cart resets every once in a while. Wouldn't be a huge issue but i was ordering 100+ different...

That's a good point. Assuming I want to hit a density slightly higher than that (say, a little over 1 proliferate card per drafter), I'd need about 10 proliferate cards in my 360 cube. That seems really doable. Maybe: 2 Contagion clasp 1 Tezzeret's Gambit 1 Grim Affliction 1 Spread the Sickness...

I was hoping to make proliferate one of my main themes. It sucks that there are only 14 total proliferate cards. I see multiple Contagion Clasps in my future...

That's fun. I also like the flavor of frantically trying to spear the little buggers before they can all team up and summon the big scary monster. :p Whereas, planned themes for my cube include proliferate and flicker. Javelineers is one of those rare cards that likes both :)

That deck gets major points for containing both dragons, and caribou... I actually think I want Icatian Javelineers for my cube. It reminds me of Forge Devil, who I'm always happy to play.

Hah, yeah, i guess that's a pretty great professional background for innovative cube design... After all there's quite a bit of data to be visualized in your average cube :p So, for some reason, thinking about the land draft has been reminding me of the idea of packages in drafting. Like, if you...

Yeah, that diagram was great, I'd been having trouble visualizing what the land draft actually looked like and that really helped. Also, I was waiting for the riptidelab plug the whole time. Glad to see it was nice and tasteful. :)

I agree with all of this. Great article. I can't wait to try this out... once I can get my hands on some utility lands anyway :P It's just so simple and self explanatory. I loved the part of the article where you talked about just laying the lands out on the table rather than explaining...

My group has been doing half card mulligans, where the first mull is to six cards but you get to scry 1 before deciding whether to keep. next mulligan is to six with no scry, then five scry 1 and so on. It's worked really well so far, making second mull decisions more interesting. Since it's...

I feel like you should probably lose the life, not your opponent. Drawing cards is already something you want to do, and I imagine it gets really powerful when divination draws you into all your silver bullets, and serves as a potential win condition. Although I imagine it will depend on whether...

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the few large creatures in the cube now have a pretty interesting effect on combat. Druid's Familiar in particular is a powerful and interesting creature, even though it's primary purpose is to add 6 power to the board. I like Plague Sliver, but I'm thinking...

It's now my dream to read a CFB article about Tim the Tool Man Taylor....

Imagine how much fun it would be if all those worldwake spell lands had the appropriate basic land type... crack a fetch to save your guy from spot removal seems like the most powerful by quite a bit, but a flash 0/1 blocker is pretty cool too. And the others aren't without their uses. You...

This whole utility land draft thing sounds sweet. It's got a real "why didn't I think of that" elegance to it. Is there anywhere on this forum where you describe it in more detail? I've only picked up bits and pieces of how it works. Out of curiosity how do you feel about the idea of opening it...
