    Lorwyn Reloaded - Tribal Cube (360)

    Hi there, this card list looks obscure and complicated; the best way to play (tm)! Do you have many power level concerns? I see your watch list of: Mad Auntie Incandescent Soulstoke Obsessive Skinner Imperious Perfect Your level of removal leads me to believe that a few turns of all of...

    General [Grid League] Penny Cube Grid League

    Here are two 4c grids (two-colors weighted heavier, low power level from same "card pool') that resulted in a lot of fun: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/55582 http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/55581 I made the mistake of not cataloging decks, but about my compatriot that ran through ~10...

    General Modern Masters 2015 - Director's Cut

    In my experience, once you've upgraded/changed more than a small amount of cards, you've really changed the environment. Is this project supposed to emulate MMA 2015 or just be inspired by it? If it is the former, the changes might not fall in line with your expectations. :( Though, I cannot...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Geez. I just spent $1.50/ea for three of them and felt like I overpaid. Nothing is safe from becoming expensive!

    General [Grid League] Penny Cube Grid League

    I unfortunately have been unable to cube this year... no group (slowly feeling out local populace ... built a Ravnica-based fantasy set that should minimize theft when I can finally host some...) plus heavy workload. :( For now, Orzhov cube is just an unboxed theorycraft. Approaching 4-c grid...

    General Draft formats that can be played via forums

    Two-headed Giant draft (it happens at GenCon each year...) gives each team 84 cards (assuming 14 card packs). I would imagine a team cube grid to be in the high 60s to low 70s. Team Vintage Rotisserie always excited me... I tried to once as a 3v3 with just 2 people controlling the picks...

    General [Grid League] Penny Cube Grid League

    I've felt the few grids I've play to be more about card advantage than tempo. Tempo plays a role in the value-oriented mirrors, but aggressive one-drops have been very scarce in appearance. My theoretical solution: 4-colors with a color imbalance favoring a color pair. A color imbalance in the...

    General MODO Cube Redesign

    I think some of my monoamine neurotransmitters disintegrated upon seeing this deck. :( I am not excited by the Legacy cube at all. At least the Legendary cube attempted to be something different. Maybe it's time to *really* lobby a change to MTGO cubing. I know that pauper/peasant cubes are...

    Card/Deck Shit Thread: Planeswalker Tier List

    I've enjoyed Daretti in a low-powered environment, but even with a healthy percentage of artifacts (~12.5% card population in the fantasy set), it's still hard to get a deck that really showcases the effects. Without a lot of low cmc manafacts, the -2 is a moderate-to-low proposition in a lot of...

    General [Grid League] Penny Cube Grid League

    Hi Grillo! I watched a decent amount from Aston's side. He noticed you choosing to take mulligans a lot of matches, which could've been due to your 15 lands. (He played 17 lands.) Aston's deck also had a higher curve than yours (which assume translates to more raw power). I thought your...

    whskywrshp#1570 I like maintenance games, so every 4 days or so, I am quest clearing. Also, bnet is my go-to desktop messenger service; RIP AIM. I love what blizz has done with the phone app and collection environment for HS. I just wish the game wasn't a bad miniature warfare experience and...

    Bazaar of Moxen will be hosting cube drafts this year: http://www.bazaar-of-moxen.com/en/index.html Couldn't find it on Cubetutor. It looks like it'll be available for side events (which is probably more interesting than the list).

    This product seems great. I'll probably aim to get a box for the draft closet. Now, to kill the reserved list.

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    This doesn't follow your guidance, but here is a mockup of no-blue, green-black-weighted based on your cube: cubetutor.com/viewcube/47988. I mostly made changes in the low drops and added multicolor/land cards. There is some dumb shit (coughnecrocough) added as well to showcase the color...

    The Board Game Thread

    Will WotC license Arkham Horror games and skin them for Shadows Over Innistrad (now that it's confirmed they're parroting Lovecraft's universe for the story)? I hate those... games. EDIT: Dominant Species is ace. It's a pretty brutal game and learning all of the cards is fairly important to...

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Black Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    I just faced someone in a OOB draft with this; they drew an extra 4 cards over 5 turns (and didn't even cast the Jori as their first spell to trigger it). It seems *really* fun in formats where it has a relevant body.

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Safra, would you be interested in making a version of your cube specifically for grid drafting purposes? If yes, should it be 5 colors or 4 colors? (And how should the colors be weighted?) What size should it be? (I am thinking with 144 cards used in a grid that the correct population size is...

    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    The card showcasing this ability seems of a lower power level that is cubable with artifact synergies. Although, the token could've been named differently; clue doesn't have a dark enough connotation. I would've went with Evidence token.
