Thank you so much for your feedback! I still can't believe that I posted this in the wrong forum... hopefully the Mods will be able to move it, or at least delete it so I can repost in the proper place >.> First of, deck looks pretty sweet! I can totally see the point with the really good...

Hi there! This is a cube that I've been working on for quite a while. It's currently in what I would consider a 'beta-state.' That is to say, I like the look of it, but am unsure about some specific card choices, power-band, and some of the synergy/philosophy behind it. Cubetutor draft link...

I think you guys are looking at Morph from the wrong angle. It was never meant to be a proactive 'thing' to alter a draft for in of itself- it was a solution to the potential awkwardness of drafting a 3-color set, as it allowed players who drafted a tricolor deck (most players) and who could not...

That's a fair assessment. I guess it all hinges on how effective the counter is in the cube, right?

I'm surprised you aren't into stratus dancer. It may be on the edge, but I'm totally cool with paying 5 mana for a 3/2 flier that also counters an instant or sorcery spell. It's kind of like a 'fixed' Glen-elendra archmage. It's not even that bad when your opponent knows it's coming, as it has...

The only morphs I really like are stratus dancer and den protector.

Honestly, the biggest problem with AVR for me as a draft format was just how unanswerable the bombs were. The biggest offender was Sigarda by a mile. You'd better hope you drafted literally Terminus, because otherwise... Also, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I despise Miracle as a...

I mean, the loner theme basically has the Bogles problem, right? The only cards that are really make that work remove interaction, because of how extra-strong interaction is vs. them. So like, having a few 'loner cards' with Thrun, the last troll out is great power wise... but is that really a...

This card heavily incentivizes and rewards players for manipulating their opponent into a situation where they can 'blow them out by combat,' e.g make their doods indestructible after attacks/blocks. That's a situation that's more common in draft than cube, I think. It's worth noting that...

In the cube I'm currently building, I'm going for "Self-Mill, Sacrifice, and +1/+1 counters." as the things for Golgari to do. He really fits perfectly!

On a more serious note, between bruna, light of alabaster Sovereigns of Lost Alara arcanum wings auratouched mage I think that there's enough here if you're going in the heavy U/W enchantments theme to make eldrazi conscription playable, if you have like... all the above cards listed in your...

arcanum wings DOES IT? DOES IT REALLY?

I think you can include potentially 'feel-bad' cards without necessarily throwing caution to the wind, so to speak. My 'Current Iteration' cube is built off the idea of a high powered but curated environment.

Does anyone remember the German Ugin, the Spirit Dragon debacle? For his second ability, instead of reading X or LESS, it says: Exile each permanent with converted mana cost X or MORE that's one or more colors. Because he really needed to be able to -0, wipe the board :p Good times.

Oh, it does. My 'current iteration' is something similar :D

I like Baral's Expertise. I think it's got the most play to it, even if it's the most powerful. However, it really depends on your cube environment. It's worth noting that Baral's Expertise and Evacuation do NOT always belong in the same deck. A creature-heavy tempo deck would love Baral's...

It was made for the planechase aura deck, but if you want to get -technical,- pump spell costs are also reduced. So, like, temur battle rage would cost R. Even though it isn't an enchantment itself, I feel like being an evasive trample lifelinker is worth the cmc even without too many buffs.

I find it interesting that nobody's mentioned this absolute beast of a card in reference to aura payoffs: Elderwood Scion Is it because of power level? I've been tinkering with an enchantment/constellation theme in my cube, and this guy is huuuuge.

Can't beat the Dack Duress promo:

I need to say that I did a chaos draft once, and had a U/W control deck with both Vanish into Memory (out of... dissension, I think?) and Oracle of Dust out of BFZ. It was a pretty incredible beating whenever I landed it, and it's a pretty fun combo to make out of two cards that were never meant...
