    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Wow, I did not expect you guys to like it! I hated Murmuring Mystic in Standard, it felt like a lot of work and mana just to get a 1/1 blocker. I mean, you need like 3 spells before it's a Whirler Rogue variant, which is a lot. I'm not fond of "I die to Shock" Talrand but I think it's the more...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've revised my blue creature section. Like usual, I wrote down the list by memory and thought twice about cards not on the list. Spectral Sailor I dislike this card's aesthethics but it's what blue wants from a one-drop. Cloudfin Raptor is fun but it seems to me drawing a card or two is...

    I can see that Onderzeeboot. In a sense, I think the real question, because they compete for the same slot is: Brazen Borrower vs Riftwing Cloudskate

    General Green four drop creatures

    It seems to me green four drops are less defined than they are in other colours. What are you running? Which ones do you like and which ones you don't? Beast Whisperer Bramble Sovereign Centaur Vinecrasher Vengevine Master of the Wild Hunt Oracle of Mul Daya Polukranos, World Eater Thrun...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I added a bunch of cards so it's time to make cuts: Jeskai Ascendancy Pacification Array Alhammarret's Archive Hollow One Triskelion Phyrexian Revoker These cards were not played very often and were not earning their spot. Jeskai was played, but it simply slotted into any spells-based deck...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've finished my intership so I now have time again to work on my cube and write. I've been thinking of making some changes and cutting some "maybes" and then add back to the archetype as a whole. Cloudfin Raptor -> Spectral Sailor Creature-heavy blue decks need draw, not a slighty more...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    UB Discard is not really there. I mean, I just added Drake Haven because I had a free slot. I haven't actually worked out the archetype or anything. I do want to work on UBR reanimator/discard, though.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Given the size of Magic's card pool, it's always a bit surprising to find the selection lacking. I was working on improving GR and noticed how lacking red three-drops are. You have good options, sure, but the actual depth of the card pool is low. I actually went and read every single red 3-drop...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    That's a great post Nanonox! I'm going to read it carefully and see how my cube falls. At a glance, it seems I'm split between several similar but not equal archetypes. Anyways, I got bored on the way to work and wrote down my whole green section in order to revise it. It had been leaning very...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I forgot Braids doesn't hit enchantments. Makes sense given she's black but I always forget she's not "smokestack on stick". Anyways, some small tweaks. First, I'm adding some of the adventure cards I've mentioned: Murderous Rider Order of Midnight Student of Warfare -> Giant Killer...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Oh it's not. What I meant to say is: If it doesn't make it in this kind of hatebear decks, is it really worth the space? Consider the following. Imagine instead of Charming Prince we had Kor Skyfisher for a total of four removal options (Collective Defiance, Kor Skyfisher, Smokestack, Braids)...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Today I had a perfect change to roll out my cube with a friend but I couldn't because it doesn't exist in reality. We played Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, so it was still great but I wanted to give the cube a whirl. Anyways, small tweaks and changes: OUT Elvish Reclaimer Vessel of...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    What's worse than having to work? Having to work for free. Woo, interships! Forunately, I could take some cube notes on the train back home. Like I mentioned, I've decided to run 4 guild cards and see how things work out. One of the reasons is that 3 felt a bit short. With 4 cards I can give...

    General Community cuts thread

    First, Suifococ's cube. Your cube is similar to mine in many ways and it's quite streamlined so I don't have much to suggest. Restoration Gearsmith This is a card I keep coming back, only to end up cutting it again. It's fine and it reads well but I keep walking away unhappy because it's a...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    It's time for MASSIVE TWEAKS OUT Collected Company All Suns' Dawn Countless Gears Renegade Trade Routes Collected Company and All Suns' Dawn seem two of the easiest cuts as far as green support goes. The latter is kind of greedy and the former is nice, but not needed for any deck to...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Let's keep working! I've been thinking and comparing about my cube with other cubes and I've come to the conclusion it needs some streamlining. It's not bad, but it does not flow as smoothly as I had hoped. While I'm not sure of the exact reasons, I can picture a couple: - Too many...
