    Rasmus Riptide Cube (360 Unpowered)

    I did a bunch of drafts on the train, so they annoyingly have no names, but I enjoyed the drafts. This time I just drafted the cube; its been a while since I drafted a mana base like this, so it took a little getting used. All of my decks ended up being three colors, as I didn't see an...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    Its a draft cube, and I just added a set of fetches.

    General Is too good fixing causing 3-color good stuff?

    I still think it may be part of the problem: the combination of incentive cards and easy fixing working together to create a class of pseudo multi-color cards. Maybe this is part of why we've both been drawn towards changing the focus of our multi-color sections. The difference between your...

    General Is too good fixing causing 3-color good stuff?

    No, his fixing actually is too good. I just drafted a B/G deck splashing for sun titan and inferno titan. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/376588[/url]"] Ones 1 Joraga Treespeaker Twos 1 Apostle's Blessing 1 Blood Artist 1 Lotleth Troll 1 Mind Stone 1 Oversold Cemetery 1 Rattleclaw Mystic 1 Sphere...

    Multiplayer (Choose your own archetype)- 540 Cards

    Well, you are going to have to make a choice. If you want to have a "commander" cube, than I don't think you need to make any changes really, and that article is a good guide. However, if you want to have a multi-player experience that feels less swingy, more active, and dosen't take three...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    We drafted orgins this weekend, but here are two cube tutor drafts of the decks from the update. Pretty happy with them. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/373269[/url]"] Ones 1 Sylvok Lifestaff Twos 1 Cloud of Faeries 1 Deprive 1 Mana Leak 1 Oona's Prowler 1 Perilous Research 1 Ravenous Rats...

    General Is too good fixing causing 3-color good stuff?

    Yes, they will. I generally find it difficult, however, to think in terms of negative space. This is kind of a tricky discussion, because there is a macro element, where you are thinking in terms of promoting specific color relationships, but also a micro element where you are encouraging...

    General Fight Club

    You know thats a strong card because it has so much text on it and that I don't even want to read it. Just scoop.

    General Is too good fixing causing 3-color good stuff?

    I think you're probably better off looking to create 2 color deck incentives, and figuring out what changes would draw people towards drafting different decks. I don't know how updated your cube tutor list is, but I think the most obvious change would be to shrink the gold section down to 30...

    General Is too good fixing causing 3-color good stuff?

    It does, which was part of what made signets so good (color fixes and ramps). I don't know if I would rush to cut down on them though, unless you have something already in mind to replace them. Fixing is important, and this is probably a multi-faceted problem, rather than solely being an...

    Multiplayer (Choose your own archetype)- 540 Cards

    If you look at the links in my sig, those are all cubes that we sometimes do 3-4 player free for all multiplayer with. The penny cube will have long games that sometimes go for about 1 hour (and thats a pretty grindy cube), but the innistrad theme is aggressive enough where you are looking at...

    Multiplayer (Choose your own archetype)- 540 Cards

    What type of multiplayer do you usually play? As for aggro, you are going to have to make some pretty extensive changes. Right now you have basically no 1 drops, a small selection of (generally non-aggro 2 drops) and than a huge glut of 4s. You also have the full signet selection, lots of...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Thats an interesting comparison. The potential ceiling on wayfinder is much higher, but with ranger you don't have the risk of milling away a critical card in a format with a limited focus on the graveyard. Honestly, it hadn't even occured to me that you could grab a bounceland with wayfinder...

    Raveborn Meddlings: My first cube, presentable at last!

    I think you'll probably right not to run bouncelands, but there are some high power varients. I didn't really think through the logistics of it, but: gaea's cradle tolarian academy crypt of agadeem cloudpost cabal coffers Obviously, lots of conditions to be placed on all of these for...

    Raveborn Meddlings: My first cube, presentable at last!

    In value storm, I found the actual storm cards to be the worse part. I found horizontal and vertical growth prowess style creatures to be better and more flexible. The only storm card I still run is empty, and that is probably a mistake. I like mana reduction creatures and I think you would...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    I don't think we need to get too fancy, and the upcoming set might have a lot of toys to flesh things out more. At this point, it would be a deck whose foundation is 2-3cc value creatures, which enable and are enabled by red damage based sweepers, and also which enable high CC finishers. I...

    General Fight Club

    Well said, and maybe I've been unfair to raptor. I feel that this applies to delver as well: if you run it as a blue aggro card its not great, but if you run it as a low investment blue tempo card that lets you use a turn very efficently, its quite reasonable. Of course, they are both...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Its really weird being on the side, for once, questioning 4 mana sorcery speed spot removal, rather than defending it. I just really don't see how it could be oppressive against a decent aggro deck, regardless of when you cast it. Sometimes I feel like the card reads "destroy target creature...
