In order to add some extra texture to my decks I'm looking for some subthemes/packages of cards that create bridges between archetypes and are playable at Legacy/Vintage power level. A couple of examples: Lands & Value Gives your decks an interesting way of generating value and goes into any...

Jeez, I didn't realize Luminarch Aspirant puts the first counter the turn it enters the battlefield. #ReadingCardsIsTech

Yay! Add Flash and we get the second Questing Beast a pretty flavourful creature old players will love!

Well, Robin Hood had a bow, and we can see a part of it and a quiver behind the Robber's left shoulder (archers in MTG typically have reach). However, it is super-weird how the arrows don't fall down in this pose.

Dire Fleet Daredevil vs. Robber of the Rich The former presents a unique form of interaction and is a good first-striker, while the latter has 2 toughness instead of 1, is a hasty 2-drop (which I value high), can potentially provide some card agvantage and has connection with political agenda...

Thank you, Trainmaster! I'll keep those threes in mind and will definitely check out your writings, they might really come in handy

We're probably deviating from the inital topic of the thread by diving deeper and deeper into the matter of improving cubes, so, if anyone is bothered by that, we could perhaps continue this discussion in my own cube thread Yeah, that's probably a good point, though my cube also has a Figure...

So, we finished the tournament, UW Cheons has 3-0'd the draft. I'll attach the list once again. I feel like I might need another counterspell, or something that can serve as that, because I want to support 2 control lists + a tempo deck each tournament (5, 5 and 4(?) counterspells respectively...

Looking for two cantrips to replace Spreading Seas and Gitaxian Probe (maybe). Preferably pre-XLN.

Spellskite Both defensive and disruptive

IMO mega-ramp is what necessarily has to play things like Worn Powerstone, Gilded Lotus, Thran Dynamo etc., since (in my understanding) it is a deck that ramps higher than 8-mana (I guess, it's also often called super-ramp). It's uneasy to support, indeed can be not very healthy in cubes, and...

Sure, feel free to do that! I'm not against copying at all. In fact, my cube as it is now was in many ways inspired by your list ;) These are the two decks from the last cube session (with some brief match recordings). We haven't yet played all the matches we had to play according to the Swiss...

Isn't this one oppressive? I'd like to have it in my cube, but the fact this woman almost brickwalls the opponent holds me back. I'm not against army-in-a-can cards in and of themselves, though.

Charming PrinceBlade SplicerRanger-Captain of Eos Also Flickerwisp, but probably less.

Athreos, God of Passage

Ramp is an unsolved task for me, which you highlighted correctly. I feel really unsure about what I want to do with my ramp decks. Some time ago I did cut several dorks, as you recommend to do it now, but other people recommended adding even more instead of removing some. The problem is I don't...

Cabal Therapy How has this been for people? I rarely see it cubed at high power levels, but I know some guys here experimented with it.

So, you're on fixing lands now? It seems to me you wrote somewhere that you were not going to put them into UL part of your cube. Just curious, because I love your idea of ULD and run fixing in this section. Also I wanted to ask, do you still run Grave Titan? I'm thinking about trying Reanimator...

Not many unique ones in my list, I guess. Domri, Anarch of BolasVraska, Golgari QueenDaretti, Ingenious IconoclastUgin, the Spirit Dragon 1. Domri pushes Gruul Aggro, which, I guess, has home in your list, too (you cube Rancor)? I like him since he fits into the mana interaction theme present in...

Would be grateful if you took a look at the list, it has changed a lot (however, I haven't taken part in testing your cube, I guess ._.): https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/gaul?view=curve I also have to say I probably taught the bots on cubecobra to pick up fixing highly, so now they gobble it up...
