    General Archetype Discussion - Boros Artifact Aggro

    Thraben Inspector Have you had an experience of running this in cube? I heard very different opinions. I want to widely spread artifacts through my cube to make them sort of a (sub-)theme, but I doubt if this one is worthy.

    At the very beginning of "cubing" we wanted to support it, but faced the same problem. Maybe, someday we'll try again.

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    I guess you described sth similar to this in your article about life gain in cube: we run cards which are independently nice and fit well into other decks, but which can also form their own theme/subtheme, if we want them to. I thought I understood this thing, but I've just realized that I...

    OK, thank you so much everyone, now I feel much more confident)

    And are there some ways to understand if *this amount* of sac. outlets, or sac. fodder, or payoff is enough for colour pair to normally exist?

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    As far as I understand, we should spread these components across several colours so that each colour pair can provide us with some interesting combinations and synergies. But when cards contribute to several strategies at the same time, it becomes sort of a messy thing for me to figure out if...

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    Hello everyone! Now I'm working with my sacrifice section in cube. There're three colour combinations which are connected with it: WB, RB and GB. How do you think, how can I spread the key pieces (sac. outlets, "fodder" spells and payoff) between colours and how many it's better to have in...

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    We wanted +1/+1 counters to be in UG with a possibility of splashing red, but now we doubt, if it's powerful enough. Probably ,we'll return to this theme later

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    We should discuss dredge more carefully, because now it doesn't seem to fit into the environment of our cube to much. Also in limited formats I usually feel nervous when I have so many cards put into my graveyard:) But there's certainly some place for creativity. Are there some good cards which...

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    Wow, thank you for so many suggestions, Fulcrum!) In my opinion, scions and spawns fit into this archetype really well, because midrange needs some ramp and, like you said, they are a part of the "sacrifice" theme. The problem is I personally don't like eldrazy very much (just visually), but...

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    I always surprize how insane Tragic Slip is:) Skirsdag High Priest is definetely in my list, as well as Deathreap Ritual and Sacura-Tribe Elder. But... Isn't the Ritual a bit slow? As for Greater Good, I haven't had any experience with it yet. My plan was to sacrifice tiny creatures to get...

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    Isn't there a danger of self-milling out with these? As for reanimator, our playgroup finds it too badass for our cube environment. We had an idea of sacrificing "death matter" cards for value. I heard of some midrange strategy where, AFAIR, you play some defensive mana-dorks, ramp for a solid...

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    Hello, everyone! There was already a thread on GB, but I'm more interested in themes that in separate gold cards. Currently I'm working on my modern focused cube, and I struggle with creating a GB-sacrifice archetype. I already support WB aritocrats with a possibility of splashing red or green...

    The thing is I was confused when in some thread about, AFAIR, "Spells Matter" archetype anchors I saw Faithless Looting. I just couldn't imagine how the whole deck can be built around it. And now, I think, I understand, why it could be an anchor. Thank you very much, guys, I really appreciate...

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    Thanks, I have been looking for some tool like this:) Also I'd like to clarify, are anchor cards something which the whole archetype rely on and is built round or they're not so crucial? I heard that there should be some cards which will sort of inspire your drafters to choose a certain...

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    Hello, guys! haven't seen you for ages because of work. Could you, please, tell me, at which point should I choose acnhor cards for archetypes? And how to realize if *this* or *that* amount of anchors per archetype is enough or not in my cube?

    Don't you remember where this discussion can be found? In fact, I don't know much about how to use discard effects and which decks do that (or do better that others), so, it would be interesting for me to learn.
