I'd love to talk shit about this Modern Cube, but really, I'm no better lol

Okay, going to head on out to NY early next week! I have 3 final changes based on all your guys' feedback. The list is now 'set in stone,' and will not change until testing demands it does. The changes are: Out: silvos, rogue elemental chandra, flamecaller lightning runner berserk In...

Haha, he's a solid walker, that's for sure. He's just never seemed insanely overbearing in my high-powered cube, that's all. Not enough to warrant a rabid FP, anyway. Maybe I'm underestimating the guy... I'll try taking him more highly in drafts, and see how he performs!

It's very interesting for me, seeing how highly Gideon is rated by most people in the forums. He's strong, but he's really never felt like the top end of the power curve for my 'iteration' cube.

I really like how Sidisi ties them all in together. I think Sultai Soothsayer may be a bit expensive for a self-mill effect though, no? You usually want those early game, and want more pharika's mender effects lategame. I feel like this deck is crying out for an insane engine to 'flicker' these...

I have mindwrack demon in the cube that I'll be testing soon. Hopefully I'll be able to do a full writeup, and will report back.

In my high-powered cube, my go-to card for 'not powerful but never cut' is prismatic lens. It's not bombastic, but every deck likes the option to either ramp or fix mana.

Maybe a better comparison would be something like solemn simulacrum? That card isn't obscenely powerful, but you'd have to have a pretty insane deck to cut it due to the sheer amount of value you get... I was so disappointed by Gisa and Geralf. I really wish their ability allowed for casting...

In defense of Grillo, there are powerful 'draft-around-me' cards that can also lead to interesting 'synergistic' deck builds. Look at shadowborn demon vs. noxious gearhulk. They are both incredibly powerful cards, that would see play in almost any deck of their colors, but the demon can...

Hey, kickass! I'll be there from the 14th to the 22nd. We should grab some drinks, even if jamming a cube session doesn't work out.

I'm going to be in the Queens area. This is all good advice, I'll stop my fiddling until those first drafts are actually done. It's so tempting to just keep tweaking tho >.< In terms of lands, I'm trying for a little less fixing than normal to try and discourage super-deep tricolor value...

Small update: Out- righteous confluence mulch tooth collector In- momentary blink regrowth mardu strike leader Considering Skeletal vampire over Noxious Gearhulk atm. Also feel the need for a larger payoff for G/B self-mill. Or maybe I cube self-mill entirely, and just have it do +1/+1...

I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that my cube clearly was the straw that broke the camel's back to inspire this post :p I don't really view cube philosophy as "Decks vs. Cards," from a design-focus standpoint. I think it can be seen as much more of a bar gradient, with "Deck focus" on...

That makes perfect sense! I'm going to keep it mostly the same until I can get to new york for some serious testing, and take notes there.

I think it's more that I'm just having trouble adapting to a synergy mindset, and my first attempt has clearly missed the mark a fair bit. I'd appreciate it if you could point out the most egregious 'power-draft' cards so that I can restructure a bit.

Awesome feedback, thanks! I think you're right on the money with the land base, tbh. I'm currently doing Scry/Check/Tapland, and that might be just too much for aggro to take. I'm thinking of bumping out the taplands for manlands due to the amount of vehicles in my cube, and maybe later the...
