You forgot this: Chatter of the Squirrel Beast Attack would've been such a nice card at 2GG casting cost, everything else equal. In an unexpectedly similar comment about a completely different thing, I favor Overwhelming Stampede to Overrun because it's 1. harder to setup; 2. double G, not...

How do you get enough mana to go off? I used to play a casual Brain Freeze deck that looked a lot like that one, but it needed Frantic Search and Cloud of Faeries to abuse High Tide.

Slavering Nulls Shambling Goblin Nameless Inversion

I wonder what percentage of people miss the "for each" clause in that ocean of words.

EMA seems tailored for cube players. There are a bunch of cards in it which I badly wanted reprinted. Hopefully the trend continues, but cube threatens their business model enough that I don't have high hopes.

In my cube, this niche is represented by Brass Man. Steel Wall comes in and out, depending on if I want to push control or not. I ran Bottle Gnomes in the beginning, it was sometimes good, usually underwhelming, and power level has gone up significantly since then. Still, it's an adorable...

Werewolves have a very subtle synergy with instants, powerful activated abilities and flash. It's not a signpost like a lord, but a high density of these rewards having a high density of werewolves. You can add one or two obvious signposts too, but I wouldn't go over two because they are quite...

Watchwolf Disperse Glimpse the Unthinkable Welkin Tern vs Fleecemane Lion Echoing Truth Breaking // Entering Rattlechains This is IMO a very important consideration for cubes, with a lot of space for different opinions, which depend a lot on the playing group's familiarity with the deep...

I've been running Dauntless Cathar and Nearheath Chaplain, they are not that strong but very playable in my cube. Good in aggro decks as dudes that become more fuel, good in control as blockers that trade into card advantage. Add to human Counts, work in token decks, theoretically good in...

23 copies on the top 8 of Worlds 2002. Fact of Fiction's best buddy. Happily married to Circular Logic. Fast forward 14 years... In cube, people seem inclined not to run him because he reads so bad. He fares badly in midrangey cubes, and without the Upheaval and all the graveyard/madness...

You don't need zero narrow cards for a cube to work - having one or two lords that are only playable in this specific deck is not a big deal, in terms of slots taken - you just need to accept they often will be last picks. Tallowisp is narrower than the mentioned cards, because the deck needs...

Pull from the Deep Regrowthing spells always feels good. Think this is playable?

Moment's Peace gives you a lot more than 6 life. It buys two precious turns for a 6 mana wrath. It wins races. It offers insurance to blowouts. It can be cast even if it was milled away.

I haven't tried, but I imagine if you have 2-3 big threats and your opponent doesn't, whatever 6-mana finisher sorcery you cast, you'd win anyway.

In SOI draft it's been underwhelming to me. The fact it cannot kill a 4 toughness attacker is the worst part.

Whirler Rogue is veeeery tempting, but so strong that it could warp the limited format. Aeronaut Tinkerer is cool, but too similar to Cloud Elemental. Aspiring Aeronaut is probably too weak for this format. Courier's Capsule looks a bit weak as well, but I've never played with it, so I may be...

I think Mutagenic Growth is important because 1. it completes the phyrexian mana cycle; 2. it's one of those cards that you can draft off-color; 3. it makes a lot of sense to do so in WR Voltron. Reassembling Skeleton is the one way for the sacrifice deck to go over the top, helps black...

I'd crossed it out because it's too hard to get Brindle Shoat in paper, but it looks like a cool addition. How do you draft a cube in MTGO? Belfry Spirit is sweet, I'm just reticent on adding such a powerful card for tokens, which is already good. Viridian Emissary is already in =) Yavimaya...

Oops. Fixed. Is it really? Goblin War Paint seems better with double strikers. Thanks all for the input, I made a few more changes. I froze the original cube and you can see the updated version in a new CubeTutor cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/53501 IN: Nantuko Husk Nantuko...
