    General The Draft Exchange

    Drafted Sigh’s cube, ended up first picking God-Pharoah’s Gift and seeing where it took me. Ended up with a cool Mardu list despite the fact that i probably should have been in Grixis. I just wanna reanimate some double striking hasty 4/4s. I picked fixing highly here and was rewarded by being...

    General Most Satisfying Finishers

    I run Angel as well as a Tinker/Ramp target and I like it being able to punish removal-light decks while giving some time to find an answer with only 4 power. Dies to twice the removal a normal creature would, so the unraceability is balanced, I think.

    General Most Satisfying Finishers

    I'm also interested in making the Baron deck work at a higher power. I really, really wish there was a higher power version of Epitaph Golem available (aside from Elixir, which I run), because I'm fascinated with the idea of your deck getting marginally better and better as the game goes long...

    General Tapping in Cube

    I've been digging the tap-on-attack effects from recent limited formats. Territorial Hammerskull and Fiend Binder have been particularly memorable.

    Future Cycle

    I would think that Scavenger Grounds is too niche to be useful as it is, and removing it for another Dunes of the Dead would help the land-sac deck and help your graveyard decks as well. Is OG Crucible of Worlds too far above the power band? Drownyard Temple is definitely something you want in...

    Astra's 450 unpowered cube!

    Emrakul is back in! The addition of Wrath of God and Loaming Shaman should be able to keep her in check a bit, but she's staying on the watch list. Took out some of the goodstuffier cards out (seeya Avacyn) to make room for an aristocrats package, supporting Rally the Ancestors and Immortal...

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    Do we think that running the flipped foothold is too strong? I can't believe this didn't occur to me sooner.

    Astra's 450 unpowered cube!

    Alright, major update time. I've been playing almost weekly with a number of people at my university's Magic club, half of which are experienced and half of which are new to the point of not owning decks. This has made me really evaluate simple, elegant design, archetype-wise and individual...

    General Unstable Spoiler Unthread

    Eager Beaver is easily the most hilarious Splinter Twin / Kiki support ever printed.

    Fulcrum's Cube

    I've been thinking this as well.The more i try and push the spell matters / prowess side of white the less i end up liking Thalia. Bit odd to think of it that way as I've always thought of her as an uncuttable interesting 2 drop for aggro decks, but it's worth thinking about.

    Fulcrum's Cube

    Hey there! Did a blind draft of your cube and went p1p1 Swords to Plowshares, followed by Kitchen Finks, Thalia, and went into w/g and then Naya weenie from there when I saw I had the fixing. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/650910[/url]"] Ones 1 Berserk 1 Champion of the Parish 1 Experiment One 1...

    Astra's 450 unpowered cube!

    Thanks for the comments! I like the worst-case scenario evaluation you've done for reanimator,and I think you may be right that Entomb is a smidge too fast. I like to trim enablers rather than targets in this case, so I feel like Buried Alive may be the way to go. This also opens up space for...
