Giver doesn’t exclusively protect a creature, it can also give a creature evasion. The 2 toughness isn’t insignificant either

Oust How do we feel about this in a cube that doesn't run removal on the level of Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile?

I don't think so. I should clarify, that this group seems to enjoy the process of busting retail packs and keeping the cards as much or more than they enjoy drafting. I think that cube while mechanically similar, doesn't scratch the same itch for them. The original premise of the cube was to...

Probably and that might be part of my problem. My tendency is to always use the most efficient and flexible cards for their role....which isn’t always the best for the balance of the format. I periodically have to dial it back down That said, I have a couple drafts that I’m starting to work on...

Yeah, Death Cloud has been pretty good for me. It's a fun buildaround.

Kind of! Bonzo’s cube is what really got me thinking of lowering the power level of my cube. I really enjoyed the process of drafting his cube, and it made me realize how much more difficult it is to deeply weave themes at a higher power level. A lot of thematic glue cards become viable at...

Absolutely. I ran the grixis ones for a long time. Don’t forget Scuttling Doom Engine which is a personal favorite of mine Or Ancient Stone Idol which is a little too good for my cube, but really good with the sneak strategy

Prior to lowering my power level, my boros archetypes were: RW: Tokens, Wildfire, Sneak Attack, Artifact Aggro Summaries are listed in the first post. I’m not sure if wildfire in boros is that great now that land tax is out of the list. But any red based guild that supports artifacts can...

I’ve supported boros sneak attack for a few years now. I only recently cut nahiri. In the boros reanimator vein, I exploit the larks a bit more than going with through the breach which is at home at a higher power level. I no longer run eldrazi and the higher end sneak attack targets [ci=small]...

Can we change them from points to Riptide Rupees™?

I’m sorry for your loss, Train Look at it this way: It’s like the end of a toxic relationship, because that card is awful :D

I'm questioning not only how important it is, but how important the artifact subtheme is in general, and in turn how much of a combo component I need to maintain in the cube to conserve the dynamic I'm going after. A lot of combo in the cube is wrapped up in artifact synergies. An older design...

Pulsemage Advocate - Maybe fine? Never tested it in cube. I don't need many white resurrection spells at 360 Octavia, Living Thesis - Looks bad to me tbh Intuition - Love the card. An all time fav. Just don't need it and Gifts at 360. Would start considering it at 450+ or if Gifts becomes...

Damn. japahn has 121. The system is rigged!

I have 21 total points. I don't know what this means, but its exhilarating.

Vengevine has been always been a fair to underwhelming card in cube for me. It's hard to imagine two being that overpowered

extractor demon - Super narrow, but it can turn an ordinary sacrifice deck into a combo deck by itself. I like it in combination with things like mesmeric orb, evolutionary leap, and altar of dementia. It also has some fringe utility as a pseudo Lava Axe in an aggro deck that can reliably get it...

Sun's Nemesis is the only Elspeth that's ever cracked my list, and I'm lukewarm over it in my graveyard cube tbh. I think it's a pretty fair card, White just has so many options for putting bodies on the ground now that it feels a bit nonessential to me. I stress that this is all in theory. It...

I haven't run Venser in the longest time, because it has always felt a little too generically good to me. It's baseline with no additional synergies is an elite roleplayer. I'd love to be persuaded otherwise, because it's one of my all-time favs. With repeated blink, it can be pretty...

Oh, rrrrright....multiplayer. That's a different story for G-Probe...I think it adds to the dynamic of multiplayer. Knowing what another player has allows you to "set them up" to make plays that are mutually beneficial, etc. Much more interesting than in 1v1 imo
