    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    Don't apologize for long posts, please! I really appreciate the help, and the more help, the better. Does there exist a 'tier list' of cube archetypes that I could maybe use to deduce the general power level of the archetypes to include?

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    Update: As Alphez said, I'm having a bit of a rough time supporting both Eldrazi and Artifacts, as the Eldrazi need to colorless mana rocks too badly. Considering changing my land base to accommodate, replacing the manlands with filter lands. Also considering adding a cycle of temples for futher...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    On the subject of the swords, one of the issues I'm having is trying to find a balance between giving proper encouragement for an equipment theme, and making them insane. On one hand, the swords are verifiablely (is that a word?) nuts. On the other... there's really no other non-busted equipment...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    I've done a lot of work tidying up the cube. It's not quite there yet, but it's looking a bit better. I'm still grappling with the equipment, and the fact that I'd really like to keep both the artifact and Eldrazi subthemes if possible. I may add a second Eldrazi Temple to the draft to help give...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    Thanks for taking another look at it! I'm been smoothing out my list over the last few days, but it's tough since I've been pretty busy. I haven't actually smoothed out green or red yet; I still have to work on those colors. I expect to add BoP, the Sol elf, boreal druid, and a few others to the...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    It's been a bit of slow going for me, as I couldn't get much work done on it yesterday. I've basically got black cleaned up a fair bit, but I do need to work on the other colors. If you could pick one archetype to drop from the cube, what would it be? (this is a question for everyone, not...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    I'm willing to break singleton. Well, I'm willing to do anything that makes the experience better for the players, and breaking singleton is just a stepping stone to having an awesome experience, imo :p I'm very interested in doubling up on certain cards. Currently looking at Mind stone...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    I've done a lot of trimming- black is close-ish to where I want it to be, specifically. Do you (or anyone) have any suggestions on how to support the Sneak Archetype without actually including sneak? The same thing goes for Tinker- I'd like to do the 'cheat big ol fatties' into play thing...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    I have an average of 6-8 people to draft with, normally. I'm thinking of cutting it down to 450 at the moment.

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    Awesome feedback guys, thanks! I'm going to work on trimming the cube down, and removing a lot of the fluff + overbearing cards. One of the things I'm having a real hard time with is support for a possible artifact archetype. I'm trying to figure out how to support it without doing the cycle of...

    Slovakattack's first cube attempt (Legacy-Lite?)

    Hi guys! I kinda dropped off the map for about three weeks, mostly due to my computer breaking, and my moving cross-country. Since I was last around, my idea for a cube has changed dramatically. My current focus is trying to make a cube that's like 'Legacy-Lite.' Basically, taking a lot of...

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    How is Ashiok in your cube? I want to put her in the cube I'm building, but I feel like she spirals out of control very, very fast. Also, does nobody run Chain to the Rocks?

    Article ChannelFireball: Oath of Nissa (Spoiler Spotlight)

    Alright, I've got to admit that I wasn't impressed by Oath of Nissa when it first came out, but the numbers don't lie. I'll have to take a second look at it now.

    Goblin Dark-Dwellers sounds hilarious in SNS as SB tech. Mind-games are some of my favorite things to do in Magic.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    My gut reaction is that Lim-Dul's Vault is pretty nuts. I guess it depends on what cards are there to 'tutor' for, but you basically get to look at 15% of your deck for 1 life... It's an instant, too.

    Just waiting for Cubetutor to update for Oath so I can show you guys the cube I've been working on! :D In the meantime, what do we think of this card? I'm a pretty big fan of the 'symmetrical effect' cycle that they did for the most recent commander set. They require work to be good, but...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    So... there's something I gotta say. I can't really evaluate cards on the basis of cubing because although I've played many, many formats... I'm still constructing my first cube. Keep that in mind with anything I evaluate. Grain of salt, and all that. However, I do like this card...
