Ben, Eric, I'm absolutely delighted to see the results of you guys collaborating on this! We're lucky to have so many smart people in this community :D

....but you did gloss over something, which is that CS majors generally live with mommy and daddy during school to save money, because we're very practical people. Feels bad bro.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more stereotypical group of people than CS majors... D: In my defense: I routinely go outside, exercise, and look women in the eye when I speak to them. But yeah, I'm probably like... an outlier.

Thank you! My gut feeling on the Shaman when it was first spoiled was that it would be too powerful. Honestly though, it is worth a try! It is pretty mana intensive, so I guess I could see the card not being completely over the top. I agree that Shard Phoenix lends itself to red control. I'm...

Yeah, I found that kinda funny too. Probably something about obsessing over small optimizations?

Thanks Chris. So far I'm loving Grim Harvest For those interested in this, I've created a thread for my cube and finally went public with the list! Thanks again for your help in getting me this far :D

Hi everyone. I'm Skrap, a software developer living in San Diego, CA. I'm not entirely sure what my very first exposure to cube was, as several things happened around the same time. I was invited to draft a cube at my local game store with some tournament regulars. It was a bit tricky at first...

This cube is one I am evolving from an older cube which had a very different ethos. The original incarnation was based on simplicity and a low barrier to entry. The new version focuses on creating a highly interactive environment using cards at a lower power level than traditional cubes. This...

I had also been kicking around the idea of building with speed in mind. My graveyardish cube is nearing a (semi) stable point, so I'm already plotting my next project. Last weekend I played one matchup from that cube where both decks were fairly aggressirve, but in different ways. I was...

Thanks Eric! I kinda felt like it had to be lurking somewhere on their site... I just couldn't find the damn thing. Really psyched to be able to stare at my cube list while on a plane tomorrow evening :D

Just want to give a huge thumbs up for the view on CT that shows me decks other people have made. It is really really awesome to get feedback from people who happen to draft my cube. And it is really a treat to see the decks they make :D

Rob, I know it can be a bit of a pain to constantly hear people asking you to do more dev work... ...but is there any possibility of adding an export to .txt for your full cube list? If this feature is low-hanging fruit I'd really love to have it. 95% of the time I'm totally content for my...

@Rob, ah... yeah, then I guess it'll have to wait until the fabled SignalR java port happens, if it ever does. Not that it isn't possible without it, obviously, but if I were you coding live head to head drafts from the ground up wouldn't be worth the work to me. I'll keep an eye out for a...

Not sure that I really have the answer to your question, but I'll give my thoughts. No matter what, I think there is some risk that a static format eventually becomes "solved". If we take Innistrad or Rise limited for example, the available archetypes were basically known. On the one hand...

Seconding this! Nearly all of my drafts are grids, but occasionally I get 6-8 people interested. I think this is a bit cube-dependent, too. It seems like a number of us are simultaneously adding this UR spells-matter archetype in (the group-think is only a little scary?), so I'd imagine in a...

Awww damn it. I wanted so badly to like the card that I didn't catch that nuance. Yeah, I agree. It makes the card too much work to use :(

I'm not sure what stack CubeTutor is running on, but if you guys are using .NET, it would be pretty easy to set up SignalR such that two players could do grid drafts live head to head. Obviously they'd have to go to an outside program to actually play one another, but still, I think it would be...

Lucre, I love the idea of Grizzly Fate, that one is going in for sure! Disturbed Burial is a possibility. I like Spinning darkness but I'd rather not deal with the finicky "graveyard order matters" thing. I guess maybe I could print an HQCG proxy with errata'd text? CML, I'm totally fine with...

I thought the volume was fine. Would love an RSS feed for this so I can just get it through Podkicker on my phone when I miss the live cast. Topic wise, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on where the cube community can go as more people sober up from PowerMax. I'm fairly new to the...

This card is a good shout CML. I'll give it a whirl in my graveyardy cube once I get it built and somewhat stable. If you're discarding hellspark elementals and stuff to this I think it gets pretty sweet. I like that it is a fireball/pyroclasm effect that not every deck is going to want to...
