hedron crab Honestly surprised this gross little crab hasn't been mentioned yet! Mills you crazy quick. Laboratory Maniac Thassa's Oracle Jace, Wielder of Mysteries Some win cons for selfmill that isn't about getting things out of your graveyard. tarmogoyf Pretty sure Goyf count's as a...

Yeah, I think certain discussions around cube seem to completely forget about the kinds of numbers we see in pretty much every retail draft format? Aggro decks there is usually supported by a 3-4 one drops, but mostly 2-drops and 3-drops. Seems like people conflate cube with one specific high...

Jason, you're outsourcing updating your cube to the community? :p

I really like the point about the CC cards, because having two colored pips really does make it much harder to play your two colored decks, which is the norm in draft, and since we all probably have the goal of getting as fun and interactive games of limited magic as possible, it seems like an...

Brain Maggot Cuombajj Witches Dusk Legion Zealot Mire Triton Here's some options. Depends on what you mean by control!

Maybe, it's also a 2/3 flier which I think should be pretty alright. I'm not sure I want to play a cube where this card is actively bad?

Man I haven't seen Corpse Knight before. Is it any good? Seems like a really good friend of aristocrat decks running Blood Artist and Lingering Souls

village rites This is just a one of but it's still a pretty good card in a deck with tokens and stuff that wants to die, and since it's instant speed you can sacrifice creatures your opponent is pointing removal at.

Agadeem's Awakening Does this count? :)

experimental overload I wanna give a shout out to this card after having played it a bunch on mtg arena, in a blue red aggro-control deck with a lot of instant speed interaction. I think it might be a little demanding on the drafter picking up quite a lot of instants and sorceries but in the...

I've been playing Phoenix of Ash quite a lot in standard on Arena, and I really like it. Escape is a nice way to give some colors card advantage, and I don't think it's really that oppressive because you can't start repeatedly cast with escape until in the late game, or if you have spell...

I guess it seems pretty sweet in any deck with a lot of instant speed interaction. Playing a deck with Recruit the Worthy, and some counter spells and card draw seems like a lot of fun.

Ok I just lost against an incredibly masturabtory UW blink deck. There really is just too much durdling in this cube and way way to little interaction. It's a shame cus I really like playing on MTGA.

Couple of ones from latest Ravnica: Assassin's Trophy Crackling Drake Thousand-Year Storm Growth Spiral Rhythm of the Wild

I've played the cube three times now, and I'm not sure I agree with there being a low amount of removal? I seem to be able to pick up at least 5-6 removal pieces as long as I look for them. I have seen the tendency for games to snowball really fast though, so it's probably not the most...

I think what TrainmasterGT wanted to communicate here was less the philosophy of this as much as the concrete specific method of going from a 60 card constructed deck to a 40 card (singleton) deck.

Hm, I think a viable method could be to translate a 60 card constructed deck to a corresponding singleton 40 card deck, and then from a group of such singleton decks to establish which have enough overlap to be able to make up the card pool of a draft environment. The criteria for what cards...

I think I would maybe give it more praise if it tapped as well as turning it into a 0/1 with no abilities, I think sigh has some good points in terms of the cards draw backs. I'm still really happy about getting more blue removal, though. I consider bounce spells to be "removal" as well, seems...

I would for instance absolutely run this in a UG deck, especially a more aggressive version.
