"crap" red removal that I currently run: Nahiri's Wrath Slagstorm I actually recently cut Nahiri's Wrath, but had a specific request to put it back in, so in it stays. U/R Fatty-cheat and Artifact-Cheat are very real decks, and I like how flexible it is. It's not quite as efficient as...

Imo it's -much- easier to match removal to threats than it is to do the opposite. Removal is almost never proactive, and does not form the 'core' of what your cube is trying to do (usually.) The issue with starting with the removal is that you can't match threats/removal at a 1:1 ratio. It's...

Bounces are interesting, because you have additional 'levers' with which to balance that kind of removal, such as ETB effects. To be honest, I think that from the general cube construction standpoint, this thread is kind of backwards. I'd focus on the creatures in your given cube first, then...

Look at me, being Mr. Literal over here, haha. I think I get what you're saying. Let me lay some examples... let's do them within the color white: Kill shot This stands in for all the removal that is conditional upon attacking, with the exception of condemn, which is priced well below it's...

Be sure to let me know what you find with him; I'll admit that you've made me curious as well!

I'm having trouble figuring out what the definition of 'crap removal' -is- in this thread. I've seen: Sunlance vindicate oblivion ring unexpectedly absent All mentioned here, and I would put all of those at top-tier removal, with the possible exception of sunlance as middling tier...

Remember, Grenzo doesn't let you play lands. At minimum, 1/3 of your opponent's deck is a miss.

Drafted the KYOOB! I first picked Consecrated Sphinx, then Path to Exile as an efficient removal spell. I saw both Erratic Portal and crystal shard, but wound up cutting them for lacking enough good targets. I was hoping to find an opposition in later packs, but didn't get there. Regardless, I...

Remember that the rule of combat tricks holds true for Berserk as well as the rest of these cards: The better/more efficient instant speed removal your format has, the worse these tricks become.

You're forgetting the most brutal of them all: temur battle rage.

I think it really depends on your cube, in the case of Show and Tell. It -can- be a fair card, but that all depends on the threats you have to cheat in with it, and the answers you have to those threats. For example, Show and Tell is in my cube, but my cube is heavily specced for answers, almost...

Goad is a bit of a weird mechanic 1v1, and exiling the top of your opponent's library isn't actually as useful as you'd think. Take, for example, the deck that wants to run abbot of keral keep, a card with a similar ability to Grenzo's second one. The deck keeps this card functional by keeping...

Update 4: There's a Conspiracy Afoot... With this update, we look at cards from conspiracy, tweaking white and blue, and increasing the size of the cube slightly! White: In- recruiter of the guard eldrazi displacer Out- Flickerwisp Blue: In- Arcane Savant crush of...

That might be it. I live in the US and I think they're a US- based company, so a lot of the BS shipping fees don't apply to me. Sorry =(

Huh. I didn't pay nearly that much... that's... odd :/ I paid about 55 USD total.

Yeah, I've been pretty happy with it. Lemme know if you want to see pics of the box I have for ref's sake.

I've had it for about 2 months. The latch comes with a shitty key that I don't use, but the latch itself is super solid. I haven't felt it give an inch, even when held upside down. The leather handle is also very well built. At first I was nervous holding it by the handle because, you know... my...

I purchased a wooden cube storage and transport unit from "Fox and Dragon" on Etsy, and I've been very pleased with it. It costed about 50ish at the time.

Oh man, this is cool. I basically have this in the bag. All I gotta do is, you know. Make a cube. ...cubing is hard.

Just played a 6-man draft tonight, went 3-0 in a round robin with this: Ones 1 Reanimate 1 Arbor Elf 1 Llanowar Elves Twos 1 Sylvan Caryatid 1 Prismatic Lens 1 Magma Jet 1 Exhume 1 Dreadbore Threes 1 Liliana of the veil 1 Catacomb Sifter 1 Nissa, Vastwood Seer 1 Worn Powerstone 1...
