Serious question here: If we cut an enitre color from Cube, which color would you cut, and why?

This big

Safra, how has CoCo worked out for you so far? I remember seeing somewhere math (idk numbers are hard) claiming that you couldn't get a high enough density of <3CMC creatures for it to hit a good percentage of the time in 40 card limited.

Demonic Pact More of a generic black control card, but I haven't seen many opinions on this in cube yet.

This article might be my favorite intro discussion on Magic theory. I remeber reading the entire thing (its really long) when I first started playing Magic, and it was eye-opening. That, and Mike Flores' old articles.

And to add to that: There isn't a single "tempo deck" or "tempo archetype", rather there are decks that care about leveraging certain tempo advatages: Control: Card and Mana (leverageing more mana) Aggro-Control: Board Presence and Mana (leveraging mana efficiency) Aggro: Board Prescence and...

Thragtusk feels more like an anti-tempo card than a tempo card, but still fundementally interacts with the tempo of a game, because it interacts with all four resources of the game, in a powerful way. The way I see it, there are four resources that decks use to win, overpowering two of these...

Chandra, Pyromaster Outpost Siege

Simic Charm How does Simic Charm fair in the typical Riptide enviornment? I'm thinking of trying it out.

Axebane Guardian Fog Bank Kessig Wolf Run Ah, my first Modern deck

In terms of being able to conditionally protect your finishers, I really like the design of Dragonlord Ojutai. Are there more of these style of dudes outside of blue?

Now you're thinking like Wizard's R&D!

Don't forget that casting enchantments triggers prowess! monastery mentor And while we're talking about enchantment armies-in-a-can, what are people's thoughts about my favorite card from RTR, Assemble the Legion Assemble the Legion

Gee, I can't think of anything else to do with this guy.

I'm excited for this one.

I really like that Iona art.

Keranos is certainly a strong standalone bomb in Modern constructed sideboards to grind out games vs removal heavy decks like Jund and Grixis, so I'm not surprised it would be strong in cube. Unfortunately, it's pretty uninteractive, so I could see it being opressive

I've got double fetches +3 extra fetches (that align with the three-color card slot), duals, shocks, Creeping Tar Pit, 3 Wasteland, and a Horizon Canopy in the main draft. We get 4 ULD picks, of which include 2 "Temple of Choice" and a "Fastland of Choice" that almost always get played. Also 3...

Speaking of gold options: Ephara, God of the Polis Kruphix, God of Horizons Keranos, God of Storms Xenagos, God of Revels Pharika, God of Affliction Athreos, God of Passage Phenax, God of Deception Iroas, God of Victory Mogis, God of Slaughter Karametra, God of Harvests Have people tried...

Between the Riptide manabase (double fetches) and ULD, I regularly see 2-3 players in a draft who only have 1-2 basics in their deck. The first one that dies is certainly not good enough. But what about the second and third copies?
