Race and ethnicity are two different things, and you can come out very light as a multi-racial child.

Fwiw pia is a female name in italian.

If you are meta gaming your removal to match your threats its really important for the ub deck to have access to the right answers, which is why the tutors are so important to them. With generically powerful removal I suppose raw card draw is fine, but I feel that takes away somewhat from the...

Just wanted to say I think wasteland is pretty overrated for what it brings to cube. Also would rather run ghost quarter or tec edge.

I think so; the pinpointing is a bit tricky though, and I didn't realize the potential for cross over here until playing against a bunch of sweet gnaw to the bone/crypt rats decks.

I'm running him in the penny cube right now, and he is great. I feel like life pay has a ton of depth at lp because the payoff is so huge, and it blurs a decks board control tools with its finisher. I think I need to run more cheap creatures that are worth a card to help entice people to...

I think it would probably be a pretty decent finisher card in a lower powered G/x ramp/control deck. It just basically rewards you for executing your gameplan. Would be ideal in an enviornment with a lot of two toughness creatures.

The main problem with artifact themes is that they usually want some density of artifacts to work, which is typically a pretty small section in most cubes. My way around that problem is to run a 3o card af section at 360, but support it with a bunch of artifact army in a can guys (the splicers)...

I've been experimenting with them, but oddly only thopter spy network has made it into a deck yet. The decks tend to be more focused on using pyromancer's goggles and tinker effects. Here are a bunch of experimental artifact decks www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/363217[/url]"] Ones 1 Burst...

U/B is really well positioned right now, with great tutors to collect from a toolbox of removal, great mass removal friendly discard, and creatures, as well as impactful discard. Combine that with recursive pieces to grind the long game, powerful draw smoothing spells, and the modern draw go...

So...steal artifact goes into the cube...no one drafts it, starting to doubt the veracity of my drafters >.> I P1P1 temur sabertooth...and not sure. Here is the deck, which I really liked, and which felt like a tron deck. Ones 1 Magus of the Candelabra 1 reclaim 1 ponder Twos 1 Voyaging...

I think the piece of the puzzle thats missing (at least at hp) is an impactful effect in black with symmetrical life loss, preferably tied to a creature so you can reanimate it. The LP/pauper payoff cards is stuff like crypt rats, pestilence, and thrashing wumpus. These are powerful control...

A lot of really good posts here. Wanted to pick out one point to talk more in detail, as it touches on a lot of important things. I think its important to remember that midrange design has changed a lot over the years. NWO Midrange tends to focus on cards that generate both card advantage...

Thats good: another step you could take would be to describe in more detail how you want each archetype to look. Thats not essential to do right now, but terms like "control" are really ambigious, and you will ultimately (i assume) want your control decks to feel distinct and fun. Some of that...

Yeah, thats the problem with the terms that eric noted: their meaning had been twisted in a lot of different directions. Tempo sometimes is used as a purely theoretical term, other times as an archetype, with the corresponding idea of "tempo" cards. Aggro-control is another good one, as it...

You could say the same thing about card advantage; and it only makes sense that would be the case, as getting ahead on time and getting ahead on cards are the two fundimental theories driving the game. Being able to recognize and capitalize on those two concepts is going to be an essential...

I think eric was running the hp b/w deck and could chime in, but the first card that comes to mind for me is phrexian arena.

I'm on my phone on the train, and this is not a discussion for the mobile, but Thragtusk can be a tempo play in the sense that it is very good at advancing your game plan while setting back the op. for example, Gaining five life and gumming up the ground puts an aggro deck back in time in terms...

Its fine. Long bitter history has taught me that once you see a semantics discussion on a web forum, run the other way because a flame war is oncoming. But lets try this and see if it cant be pleasent for once. First, that isn't just my interpretation, and second, its not that strict. I...
