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

    I'm not convinced that its fires that is the problem. The fires deck was still good when it didn't draw fires, just explosive with it. But to answer your question, I would still be happy, going elf, fires, polukranos or deadbridge Goliath. I think it might be a consistency thing in limited...

    On a side note I miss saproling burst in my cube. Took it out when purphanos went in. Man does that card require some safety valve cuts. I like the inevitability with it but have been cutting things that make three or more tokens as a result.

    I wonder if the deck being named 'fires' unfairly puts the focus on that card. It's certainly gravy but perhaps more useful to look at The consistency of 8 mana dorks Hard to deal with threats (chimeric idol, blastoderm, saproling burst) Answers that are also threats (ftk, assault/battery...

    Welcome! Agree with you re the black cards, though BSZ vs crux is defendable. You also need to remember they try to put new cards in from recent sets as marketing. I've cut inferno Titan for power reasons but don't think I'm in the majority. I think Jitte is pretty miserable to play against...

    General What other formats do you use your cube for?

    I do 22 boosters of 7 cards each, Rochester draft, discard the last card. Works well.

    Im not sure that building a 2 colour theme based on the (usually) 3 or 4 gold cards is the way to go. Feels a bit disproportionate. I know they help build signals but...

    p I've played it in draft and its good with delve still. Probably a mana too expensive for cube and restricting to creature return is pretty restrictive.
