Heres one in defense of the value of small improvements over sweeping changes. I've had the format for a couple years now, and this is the first time I've uncovered this specific issue with a color pair. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/640372[/url]"] Ones 1 Abundant Growth 1 Benevolent Bodyguard 1...

mmmm...not sure how I would handle that pack. Master splicer is a fine pick, but glimmerpoint stag might be objectively better. Its hard to say, because its a new edition, and is supposed to be a "balanced" flickerwisp. If flickerwisp were still in that slot I would probably slam it. Bone...

I just priced it on Cubetutor, and it has it at $197.67. Welcome to "budget" magic. This is always a moving target because speculation or format popularity can balloon prices of C/U out of nowhere. There was a point where chromatic stars were going for $10 a pop. :rolleyes: Cards that break...

Yeah, its way over the cube's power threshold.

Made a bunch of small tweeks to open the list up. Here is the type of final product I am ultimately going for: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/639650[/url]"] Ones 1 Avacyn's Pilgrim 1 Dismember 1 Elves of Deep Shadow Twos 1 Atarka's Command 1 Epochrasite 1 Grim Flayer 1 Life from the Loam 1...

peregrine drake is absurd in my format: palinchron would be beyond broken. An effectively 0 mana 4/5 flyer that occasionally ramps huge amounts of mana, and can independently go infinite, is going to be the best card in a low power format by a mile, and should win every game in which its...

Saproling burst is probably my favorite cube card in that regard. It can enable packages like: imperial recruiter recruiter of the guard goblin bushwhacker reckless bushwhacker chord of calling Green has army in a can guys, but usually they are 0/1 bodys, while burst creates actual...

Baneslayer that high kind of surprises me. I always think of that as a solid card, but maybe more of a second pick? The other card in that pack I was looking at was shrine of burning rage, and than metalworker if I wanted to feel spicy. I didn't look at the list though, and modin's deck...

ahem...something is missing from your OP... the gitrog monster Doom frog will never forget this slight

This looks good. A few comments: Would like to see Goblin Bushwhacker To really give some density of mini-overruns. Also, don't forget red has access to: fatal frenzy To up your zerk effects. With that style lethal setup, I would also be considering adding condemn to the list...

Opted to power max, drafted this from gift's cube: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/638835[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Chrome Mox Ones 1 Condemn 1 Entomb 1 Force Spike 1 Swords to Plowshares Twos 1 Animate Dead 1 Daze 1 Exhume 1 Night's Whisper 1 Spellskite Threes 1 Banishing Light 1 Frantic Search 1...

Thoughts on this deck? www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/638627[/url]"] Ones 1 Champion of the Parish 1 Flame Slash 1 Goblin Guide 1 Greater Gargadon 1 Kytheon, Hero of Akros 1 Stromkirk Noble 1 Student of Warfare Twos 1 Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit 1 Dragon Whisperer 1 Goblin Bombardment 1 Reckless...

I agree. However, I don't want that power pick to disproportionately be a blue power card.

In that cube? I've already policed most of them (I think), but the usual suspects are something like: phyrexian metamorph phantasmal image ponder preordain treasure cruise vendilion clique There are a few 4s too sower of temptation control magic fact or fiction And still some cards...

Some interesting updates, regarding the mana conversation we were having earlier. 1. Mana Bases Looking over the draft lists, there was tremendous variance in mana bases: Questionable fixing for a very cool aggressive R/G list www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/637564[/url]"] Ones 1 Dismember 1...

Thank you, my instinct was to p1p1 vend clique as well. All of the other cards require some sort of deck commitment, while the only commitment clique requires is that you be a heavier blue deck, and its not unreasonable to presume that blue is the strongest color in a cube anyways. If clique...

I arrived at pretty much the same conclusion, for reasons best described here. There are a few caveats of course, a lot of the C/U design you see on other forums is just budget power max, so they run things like cloudgoat and jitte, with no real thought toward promoting balanced archetype...

Does the {U}{U} on vend. clique slant things towards tasigur? How much is tasigur desirable on the speculation it could go into a UB deck as a primary plan, but if that fails, BG is a fine consolation prize? I think I'm oddly ok with tasigur, because even if its the flexible "safe" pick, its...

This looks fine. Incidentally I had been eying borrowed hostility, so will be interested in how it performs. It would be nice to have another red buff. Keldon vandals I find is a better card overall than manic vandal, but that swap is still fine.

Thank you, really helpful response. I was doing my usual p1p1 color balance check, and I wasn't sure how to count this pack. Tasigur is really interesting, because, going into the cube blind, one could argue that its strategically competing with the emrakul: one being a bomby enabler, and...
