    Card/Deck Humans

    Shiet, how did I forget that guy? I'm even making an Innistrad cube with him in it, lol. My bad. While he's certainly a grower, the recently released Tireless Tracker has proven himself to be incredibly good, even in my powerful cube. It's something to think about, even if he is only...

    Flip Lili has been very good in my cube.

    Community Project: 4-at-a-time Battlecruiser Cube

    Whoops, I misread the rules of the post, sorry! I withdraw Hex from my 'pack'. The cards may be a tad on the strong side, but they're all exciting and fun buildarounds that make me excited to draft in a battle-cruiser format.

    Slovakattack's Innistrad/Horror Throwback Cube

    Hi guys! So, I had this idea kicking around ever since SOI was spoiled. I love the high-gothic setting of Innistrad, and the wacky draft style it promoted. So, I decided to make a cube once all was said and spoilt! There are a few conditions that this cube is being built under. The cube must...

    General Emotional Spikes in Cube Design

    I'd be interested in it too, the only issue is that I have 0 talent at making proxies lol.

    General Emotional Spikes in Cube Design

    My only issue with flip cards is visibility in draft. I actually don't like the revealed information aspect of it, and I don't like the fact that nubblets are punished for not knowing the back face in cube, where they are sleeved to preserve lack of info (by being forced to slide it out and show...

    Card/Deck Humans

    In recent sets, we have seen many efficient human token-makers printed, particularly Hanweir Militia Captain and Hanweir Garrison. They've also received some nice support in G/W, with Sigarda, Heron's Grace. The tribe has even received an honest-to-goodness lord for the first time in quite a...

    General The Roman Emperor Thread

    My Lawd, I seem to recall you expressing angst over the difficulty of consistently activating the gravecrawler engine in Cube. May I humbly suggest: rotting rats This spicy number appears innocuous at first, but fits into many themes, including: Stax/Pox Reanimator Aggro Madness Dredge...

    Card/Deck re: o: {T}: creatures that tap (themeless theme)

    I think there is a class of cards worth mentioning when it comes to this archetype: The ones with conditional untap abilities. (Example, Midnight guard). They can be very good at holding the archetype together and making things more consistent. I would also add That new thermo-Alchemist guy to...

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    A little background: I love vintage cube absolutely to death. It is the only reason why I have a MODO account, and if I had the money for power, I would build my own version of it. I would have made the same pick that LSV did. Let me break it down: First- Jitte is considerably worse in...

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    Harmonize is better in the deck, imo. While he's running a lot of 1-drop spells; he's running creatures, not cantrips. Dig at 7-9 mana is just meh, where T3 harmonize is a fairly reasonable proposition. If he went up against a deck with a bunch of boardwipes, he might have swapped it out.

    General Gift Shop Draft

    Let's see... in terms of multiples, gravecrawler is the fairly obvious one. There are also cards that care about copies in the graveyard, such as rune snag. I'd probably stick to archetype-defining cards at first though, so as not to confuse people.

    General Gift Shop Draft

    This is a pretty sweet idea! It sounds like it'd be good for allowing multiple cards in draft w/o breaking singleton. There's the Hawks, obviously, but there are also a bunch of other cool archetypes. Burning vengeance, etc.

    It seems bad to me. If you want a fair opposition, try glare of subdual?

    General Fight Club

    Imo those two cards belong in very different decks, but if I had to throw down I'd say that brimstone volley takes it, easily. Morbid is just much easier to trigger, and also offers fun mindgame scenarios (you attacking with a 1/1 token into an opponent's 5/5 suddenly becomes an interesting...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I've really been hurtin' for a UG Flash lord lately. Something like: 1UG 2/3 Flash Whenever you cast a creature spell during another player's turn, draw a card.

    General Fight Club

    Kinda the same deal with polymorph. Casting it gets you Emrakul if you're only running tokens.

    Card/Deck Artifact Creatures

    I'm a huge artifact-lover. I really hope Kaladesh scratches that itch... for how prevalent artifact creatures have been over the years, there are surprisingly few that are cubable. I have an artifact theme in my cube, and currently run: Epochrasite spellskite Metalworker palladium myr...
