Ransack the Lab would work! However, I'm very happy with how Regisaur and other "discard" effects are working. It gives the colours a bit more separation in mechanics. This kind of "Impulse" effects go in Green, Black gets discard outlets and Blue and Red get looting effects. So I'm going to...

I didn't notice, thanks for pointing it out. And yeah that makes it even worse. For all the work Wizards puts into the game, one of the things that surprise me the most is how much they push certain cards and the metagame. Has it always been like this? I guess so (I know Goblin Piledriver was...

What do you mean, that line about not being able to prevent damage was incredibly necessary to the design.

The next thing I wanted to work on was graveyard support as well as GB as a colour combination. The house of The Rock is a natural goodstuff colour but as I changed my cube it slowly dissapeared as an archetype that came up naturally in comparison to WB and others. Winding Way Regrowth Vessel...

Ok, time to work. First, adding some more blue creatures as a test. I'm not sold on any of them so feel free to share your thoughts. Kira, Great Glass-Spinner Sharding Sphinx Kira is an archetypical Ux tempo card. Having to hit it twice is big, but I don't remember it being overly...

I simply assume Looter il-Kor is unblockable. In fact, I would think twice about running him if he wasn't!

I like that card! I think it's a very good idea and not "all over at the place" at all. 1) Making tokens is clean 2) Tokens have fun and interesting interactions that straight mana or draw don't have. 3) The top end is very fair. Jayemdae Tome is clearly below power level, as is a 3-mana Ivory...

I'm still unsure of what to do with all the slots I have on blue and white, as well as the handful of cards in other colours. Since I don't know what to do, I decided to focus on what little tweaks I had pending. First, I completed my white removal package. I'm not very fond of it, because...

I love old-school, simple engine cards like this. What do you think of it? Equilibrium

For me it makes perfect sense. In my short experience, the best cube decks are those that have plenty of interactive bread-and-butter cards not just those that try to jam powerful cards. There tends to be no shortage of the later (just pick whatever is appropiate), while you can always do with...

For me the issue is that I don't like UW Control getting a free wrath because nobody else can play it. There's simply aren't enough decks that want a wrath and can pay WWU. There's going to be, at best, just one player at the table on that combination so it felt kind of dumb. -- Anyways, I'm...

Vault Skirge Spined Thopter If you would only run one, which one would you run and why?

Here's a deck I just drafted on Cubetutor. Didn't manage to get reanimation spells but it looks solid and show how UB may might into this: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1172113[/url]"] Ones 1 Brainstorm 1 Duress 1 Executioner's Capsule 1 Gravecrawler 1 Unearth Twos 1 Asylum Visitor 1 Brain...

A small tweak I thought about recently was replacing this: Thought CourierLooter il-kor For this: Looter il-kor Looter il-kor I also very much agree that Skaab Ruinator helps a lot.

I see many of you guys giving me cube advice and I just want to say: I often don't say anything because I don't know enough to give good advice myself!

So far Blue looks great! I've been making some small tweaks: IN Looter il-kor Looter il-kor Standstill Geist of Saint Traft Mystic Snake I've been thinking about how to make Tempo more viable so I went and checked my list for flyers and other creatures that could carry Mask of Memory. And...

I've decided to put Mystic Snake back in UG instead. Similar card but in a slot I'm happier to spend and which supports an archetype I want to make a bit more playable. Talking about forcing archetypes to be more playable. How bullshit is this card? Geist of Saint Traft On one hand, the "let...

But it would still be Magic, wouldn't it? What I'm trying to get across is that changing cards is not a fundamental change in design. You could have many kinds of Magic and, in fact, we already do. We could have Magic where mill is the main win condition, Magic where card draw is abundant and...

All right, I made a list of the blue cards I'm most sure about as well as some support cards. 22 Spells Faerie Conclave Brainstorm Brainstorm Brainstorm Gush Force of Will Daze Aether Spellbomb Chart a Course Trade Routes Remand Counterspell Mana Leak Condescend Blink of an Eye Tinker...

It does depend on what one considers a fundamental change. For me Pokémon is pretty much in line with Magic as a design. Sure, lands now go on creatures and the goal has changed to better fit its theme, but the play is very similar. It's simpler, because it was made for kids, but it seems very...
