    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    Oh, totally. In fact, storm is parasitic enough that it may be worth it to build your 'perfect' storm draft deck that you want players to find in your cube, and just jam it in there.

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    The problem with high tide is that it's a nobo with bouncelands, since they aren't actually islands. And since the storm deck wants to draft as many bouncelands as possible to combo with Drake/Palinchron... it's not great. I think in general you're underestimating the sheer amount of...

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    In general, I hate storm in cube. It's an incredibly parasitic archetype, requires a perfect draft and perfect games to go off, and fills the cube with unusable chaff if no-one is drafting it. With that out of the way, I can see you do have an archetype there... but imo, you haven't supported...

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    Add: Snap Underrated bounce spell; helps storm out. I've tried to draft storm a few times, and haven't gotten a decent deck together yet. Cut: Toshiro Umezawa I do not understand why this card is in the cube. It does very little for it's setup cost, and I would expect this to be 15th...

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    A small point: Unless the cube is -extremely- instant/sorcery heavy, Snappy isn't a very good P1/P1. He's upside is strong, but he does literal nothing without support. He's one of the most overvalued early picks I've seen.

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    I'd go preordain. Cantrips are king in cube, and it's noncommittal enough to slot into any blue deck you make. Time warp is nice, but not in every deck and Kiki is a bit too deep for a P1P2 that isn't on color, what with that triple casting cost. I'm looking at Preordain, Frantic Search and...

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    Drafted your cube. Took Path to exile P1P1 as a powerful, noncommittal removal spell. A few twists and turns later, and... this deck is super hot. There's lots of synergy to playing spellbomb and star early as sacrifice fodder for Braids, cabal minion, looping them indefinitely with auriok...

    General Build arounds and seeding

    That's an interesting idea! Let's see... absolute build-arounds in my cube: Birthing Pod Metalworker wildfire burning of xinye Balance ...and not much else. Huh. I don't have as many buildarounds as I thought! This actually makes me really happy. :D

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I don't know if people have been talking about this, but I'd still like to call attention to this little guy from conspiracy: Sinuous Vermin This guy seems absolutely wonderful for moderate-powered draft environments. He is on curve in both his base form and in his monstrous form (as a 5/5...

    This strikes me as a fascinating card. I'm considering replacing massacre wurm in my cube with it. They do very similar things, and this guy gets to have the sweeper aspect without the 'hurr-dur I punished you with an instant loss for playing your deck properly' aspect. Do you guys think that...

    Haha, yeah. I think he's coming out. Sahili gets bonus points for being interesting at least... even though she can't steal a blightsteel colossus.

    I'm actually kind of frustrated, because I already have Dack in my cube. I really wanted her to be 4 mana so I could cut Ral Zarek and make it easy on me, but... ugh. I may have to just cut Dack. Which is a real shame.

    "On each turn." Oh, so my counterspells and instant-speed card draw trigger this? Good to know... good to know...

    It does nothing for "Crew 1," But think of "Crew 5" and the templating makes a lot more sense.

    Sahili Rai: Interesting PW. Cons: Does not impact board, does not protect herself. Low loyalty. Cannot remove creatures. Pros: Excellent ultimate. Abilities are interesting. Abilities are not bad. Abilities are flexible. 3 mana. Verdict: Will be put into my cube. A bit awkward, since...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Honestly, this guy is obscene. His power explosively increases depending on the number of fetchlands you draft in your cube. I know that he's a monster in my cube (not a first pick, but never something you want to sit across from), although his draw is much better there as general card quality...

    I did 2 drafts just last night. The first one, I tried to pick up all the white removal I could, and went into blue for flyers. It may/may not have been the right move, still unsure considering I got ganged up on while having little/no board state. I was slain quickly. Game two, I drafted R/W...
