Now, several more details. 1. Those additional lands may belong to any color pair to which the lands drafted belong. For example, if a person picked up Stomping Ground, Sacred Foundry, and a Horizon Canopy he will be able to take green-red, red-white orgreen-white lands. 2. Players' fixing lands...

I've just realized there's one more problem: check lands (Clifftop Retreat etc.) won't be as relevant: there'll be less basics. One possible way to solve it is replace checks with fetches (run 20, likewise is Jason's cube), but then what? People will be able to get up to 8 fetches. Another...

What if we give people copies of less powerful fixing lands, and instead of providing them with 3 additional shocks (if they have picked one), we let them take some less powerful fixing (say, filter lands)? In this case it would look like that: that player would be able to take up to 3 copies of...

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Our cube has emulation of Modern atmosphere as its main idea; non-basic lands and interaction with them are essential parts of the format. However, in a typical cube draft you’re able to get about 3 to 5 of them, and the rest will be basics. Earlier, when we were...

What do you think of this dude: Devouring Hellion? Too weak?

Hello, dear ladies and gentlemen! Here's the long-awaited (at least, for me) post about the changes made in our cube. Let's start! 1. First of all, it seems to me that I started to better understand how the cube works. At last, I GOT INTO IT. Don't believe? See my new avatar. Moving to the cube...

Haven't seen you for ages, ladies and gentlemen! Finally, we are ready to share our "Modern Utopia Cup #3" results. During the first two Cups there were a lot of obvious mistakes done in cube-building itself, so, we fixed the most part of 'em with no efforts (and we don't think they're worth...

Probably, I didn't express my point correctly: I wasn't sure in Debtor's Knell's power; but now I'm definitely going to try it, thank you:)

Yeah, the feeling you and shamizy described, when a card seems to be so "good-stuffy" that it simply breakes the boundaries of being a strictly control finisher, is familiar to me. I have already thought of trying out Debtor's Knell, but doesn't it rely too much on graveyards to be powerful...

In our cube aggro decks happend to be really good at hosing planeswalkers, so, in our environment Jace seems to be a "healthy" card :)

I think, our power level is pretty high, but it's limited with the Modern boundaries, and our list doesn't have any of the "Power 9"-cards (except JTMS - if you consider him to be one of them, - which is now being tested).

In fact, we haven’t done many actual cuts, however, we have some more ideas. So far we replaced Enclave Cryptologist with Pearl Lake Ancient. Now we're also planning to test Nezahal. Standard gets its own small corner in our Modern cube :) Also, we’re looking for an artifact to replace...

Finally, we've done a couple of tests. More potent finishers have really changed situation for the better, but we're still trying to choose the ones which fit our environment the most. Trimming the CA also helped, however, we're still thinking whether or not we should reduce its power a little...

So, returning back to the decks, what do you, guys, think of that?)

As for finishers: won't such kind of finishers be embarassing to lose to? They seem to be good in beating not only control decks. And could you, please, make an example of cycling/graveyard sinegry in your cube?

Good day, amigos! The first playtest of our cube has shown the problem of boring control mirrors, but up to this moment it wasn't paid to much attention because there were some more important things to work with. During the next several tournaments such matchups took place, too. UR and UW Spells...

Priest of Forgotten Gods I'm very interested in this one. Is there anyone who had a positive experience with it? What kind of deck it was and does Priest require a lot of creatures for work?

http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcurve/98102;jsessionid=45A5AAD1063698C6A205E7F3B9A13388 I consider the power level of our cube to be not very low:)

Ok, thank everyone so much!
