    General Modern Horizons

    Changeling means more targets for the Rebels deck! Here's hoping we get something interesting for that archetype.

    General The Draft Exchange

    If you guys can do me a favour and draft my cube, I would truly appreciate it. I've done a lot of changes on it and I'm no longer sure what others will think or whether there are serious holes on the list (like, enough fatties or artifact aggro creatures). Thank you :)

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    So I've discovered that Doomsday works in cube. And that it actually makes it very easy to build a deck with a combo finish that doesn't require lots of parasitic slots. And I keep thinking, it might be possible to use Gifts Ungiven in a similar way. We just need some piles that work well with...

    Squandered Resources? Love that card, I would love to see if you can make it work in cube!

    General Cards like Accumulated Knowledge, a solution

    I'm pretty sure this has been proposed before, but it seems interesting. As you know, there are many cards in Magic that work with additional copies. Accumulated Knowledge is the best example, as are Kindle and Legion Conquistador Accumulated Knowledge Kindle Legion Conquistador Now, these...

    Don't get me wrong, a Nektraatal with a 4/2 body is great but it's not an effect that comes across as overly strong in the typical cube. I just think the problem of Salvagers is that it takes a lot of work to get the value of a FTK or a Man o'War or any other ETB creature that does it job three...

    In my experience with the card back in the day, Salvagers is very slow if you are not doing something busted with it. It costs 4 to use, 2 to recur a card and then whatever you need to play that artifact and use it. I mean: Turn4) Spend 4 mana to play Salvagers Turn 5) Spend 4 mana to recur...

    General CBS

    I liked Gruul when playing in Arena, but I don't have too much experience with the colours (Playing a red splash in Tooth and Nail does not count!). That may be part of it. And it seems the me, it can work very well. There are good cards in the colours, you can ramp a bit, have a bit of removal...

    I am very unhappy with the available options for Gruul. I like Bloodbraid Elf, because Cascade is fun when you are not chaining it. I like Stormbind, even though it doesn't seem to fit many decks. But I don't like anything else. There are some ok midrange creatures, some cards that seem...

    General The Draft Exchange

    I saw the possibility of drafting a UW blink deck but I found myself with too many enablers and not enough payoffs. I can gain some life but that won't make me win the game, only delay the inevitable. Fathom Seer seems somewhat slow, expensive and questioanble for the card advantage he provides...

    I knew your name sounded familiar. Do you play OpenTTD too? I think I've seen your avatar on their forums before.

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    I keep wondering what's the minimal support for the archetype. Here's a very old Extended list for inspiration: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=8928&d=250941&f=EX As you can see, there's very little fast mana in the list. In fact, like all Extended storm decks, it's not so much a storm deck as it...

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    I think the biggest problem with Dragonstorm is that you need a good bunch of Dragons to put into play with it. Storm is not great from a strict gameplay perspective. It has little board presence, it's hard to interact with and leads to racing. But what I find interesting about Magic is not the...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I just look and Teferi and think "Does this make the game more fun?" And I can't help but think the answer is "No".

    Charging Monstrosaur is great. He's simple, versatile, fits a wide range of strategies and is fun. Not much synergy or cool combinations going for him, but he doesn't need them!

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    Ah Storm. The posterchild of parasitic archetypes. The deck that makes your cube worse and that leads to silly, uninteractive games and awful draft experiences. But some of us love it. To me, it's the most fun, interesting of all combo archetypes. It's a complex, non-deterministic puzzle that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I did some more changes and now I'm very happy with the direction my cube is going. I would even say it's getting close to finished and I'm going to start proxying cards soon. Anyways, some interesting ideas and changes. NOTABLE REMOVED CARDS Tolarian AcademyGaea's CradleBazaar of...

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's a bit surprising there isn't a "Exalted Angel withotu Morph" card around. I would run Dawnbringer, but having first strike makes her stupidly strong. I was mostly looking for a Lifelink flyer because I think BW control would benefit from it. It's an archetype I'm...
