Master Decoy is worse than other, generally newer, effects of the same type because it cost 2. But it has been working very well and I like the historic value of the card more than I like making the effect a little bit better. As for Monolith, it's probably getting cut at some point. I like...

I'm increasingly sad about the fact that the Modern Horizon changelings aren't good enough. The idea of making tribal more viable in draft by giving some cards all creature types is very smart. It turns parasitic or pseudo-parasitic cards into cards that can be played by a large portion of the...

For some reason, the fact that they printed a strictly better Voltaic Key annoys me quite a bit. I understand the need for it to have a secondary ability if it's going to be included as an uncommon but still.

I misread it and thought it was targeted discard. Without it, I would be really hard-pressed to play Grotesque at all. By the way, by "same card" I obviously don't mean it's as good but that it's the same concept. By the way, I understand your reservations. I don't think targeted discard is a...

I love Sin Collector and it's pretty much the same card. Love splashing for it and blinking it :)

Yeah, I should state what power level I'm aiming for. Generally, I'm aiming for a moderate power level with powerful cards (Sneak Attack, Tinker, Survival of the Fittest) neutered by carefully crafting the environment. The goal is a power level similar in feel to that of old Extended. But feel...

All cubes need high CC creatures, but they are hard to get right. Often unplayable, ocasionally game-winning, finding big creatures that are interesting and fun is proving a challenge. Things also get harder when you include Sneak Attack, Reanimator or Oath in your cube. These cards are very...

They are great. Coming into play untapped early on is a big deal. At worst, they are great because two colour lands are great. But I would rank them like this: Duals Fetchlands Shocklands Fastlands

I've been thinking about the new Horizon lands and I wonder. How crazy would it be to replace the lowest tier of dual lands (fastlands) with them? Horizon Canopy In other words, how crazy would it be to run 6 of these cards in a cube?

I think this kind of cards just don't work. They look interesting at first glance but have lots of practical problems. 1) It costs 3, does not affect the board and does nothing the turn you play it. 2) It doesn't pay for itself until you play 4 creatures. 3) It doesn't do anything for the...

Cranial Plating I don't think you run enough artifacts to support this card. I think it's a trap. Shrine of Burning Rage I believe this card will push Red very hard. Given the low power level of your cube, I don't think you should run it.

Oh yeah, that bothers me too. Specially since the question will inevitably come up. I've been thinking about making a mockup with improved text, but I wouldn't know how.

I actually just built a lands deck that I liked. Go figure: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1134181[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Zuran Orb Ones 1 Brainstorm 1 Exploration 1 Molten Vortex Twos 1 Daze 1 Elvish Visionary 1 Life from the Loam 1 Moment's Peace 1 Regrowth 1 Sakura-Tribe Elder 1 Scavenging Ooze 1...

I've realized my cube is far from finished. There are some archetypes and colours that work much better than others. If you stick to archetypes like Blink, Control or the typical UG deck things are great. There's variety, games are fun and the card choices are interesting. The power level is...

I've been thinking about making WR or UR blink more viable. So what are your thoughts on this? Fire Imp

Wizards is not trying to turn Magic into a better competitive game, they are trying to turn Magic into a more marketable property to sell products. It may seem obvious when stated like that, but I think it's worth pointing out. After all, what does "success" mean in this context? A better...

I'm looking for a WHITE ENCHANTMENTS to cheat into play with Academy Rector. I have a couple nice ones, but in other colours.

Bearscape Thoughts? It's a nifty card!

Augur of BolasOmenspeaker Which one and why?

I'm 13 cards away from finishing my cube. There are very few cuts I would make at this point and I'm very happy with the cube overall. Some minor replacements or additions. Impulse->Preordain I love Impulse but the cuve needs 1cc cantrips more than another 2cc card. Also, the original art...
