Play experience is definitely the most valuable way to hone in a cube. I typically only get to cube once every 3 weeks, so it makes tweaks due to play experience a slow process. That said ( :oops: ), I've been really thinking about how to complexify my aggro archetypes outside of Hellbent and...

Same. Rise keeps your color options open and typically ends the game once resolved. Easily my favorite spells matter payoff card. The main card a p1p1 stockpile wants to wheel out of this pack is the shrine which is unlikely to happen. So you draft stockpile and get anafenza or rise and get...

Got in a draft on Thursday, and aggro came out on top taking 1st and 2nd. 3-0 Ones 1 Kird Ape 1 Soul-Scar Mage 1 Wild Nacatl 1 Goblin Bushwhacker 1 Firebolt 1 Rancor 1 Gryff's Boon 1 Reckless Charge Twos 1 Kari Zev, Skyship Raider 1 Qasali Pridemage 1 Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit 1 Tarmogoyf...

It might not be gone for long to be honest. I'm not sure if I want both Call of the Bloodline and Curse of Shallow Graves in here. I'd like to find another good black enchantment for Academy Rector, but I'm not really satisfied with the standard options: Yawgmoth's Bargain, Bitterblossom, and...

Shifting some things around. Removed a couple generic value cards (Phyrexian Arena, Future Sight), gave Sneak Attack more tools (Woodfall Primus, Aether Searcher). More artifact support coming in. Substitutions correspond by order in each list. Out: Bedlam Reveler Tuktuk the Explorer Rally...

Nice deck! There's a lot of ways to abuse Titania in the cube....enough that I debate its inclusion at times...For now, it's such a perfect fit that I feel like I have to run it. I also like your Mono Black list: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/774480[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Chrome Mox Ones 1...

Just picked up these: Mishra's Bauble Tezzeret the seeker Give me all the baubles. Mishra's is going right in. I'm not sure tezz has a place without a little retooling of my artifact section...but it could compliment tinker and welder. Are there any artifacts that are fun with the untap...

I think Keiga, Yosei, and Kokusho are all pretty reasonable. All of them have been in the cube at some point. The struggle I had was if I ran them in the cube, I needed them to be the biggest things in the air. Angel of Serenity, Archfiend of Ifnir, Tombstalker, and Sphinx of Uthuun compete for...

Riffing on Karakas: Linvala, the Preserver Arcanis the Omnipotent Gonti, Lord of Luxury Dragonlord Atarka Ishkanah, Grafwidow Pia Nalaar Pia and Kiran Nalaar Sharuum the Hegemon Sidisi, Undead Vizier Titania, Protector of Argoth Vendilion Clique Venser, Shaper Savant Mangara of Corondor...

Thanks for the drafts! I definitely think bringing artifacts into reanimator is a great path to explore further. I got the spark from Fulcrum's suggestion in the minimalist artifact theme thread. The Gearhulks really made this an option, and I've included the Grixis ones for that reason. As...

drafted KYOOB. p1p1 Treasure Cruise p1p2 Aether Searcher p1p3 Greenwarden of Murasa p1p4 Garruk Wildspeaker The green cards just kept coming. There's seems to be a density of green ramp support in this cube. Aether Searcher gets Greenwarden of Murasa. Resulting deck has pretty much all the...

Current working version: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/38686 This version is focusing on the interplay between all zones with increased graveyard interaction. I removed a lot of the strongest disruption (Opposition, Thoughtseize, Winter Orb, Balance, etc). The Removal and Draw suites...

I guess the gearhulks do add a lot of game to that idea. I dig it! Let us know the package you arrive at. It definitely makes Goblin Welder & daretti more fun with Sneak Attack and Feldon of the third path.

All of this speaks to my sensibilities and habits as a visual artist. I've always made art within a conceptual framework, but never translated that to magic. I've had a "feeling" I've been working towards with the cube, but I've never really been able to articulate it fully....or at least I've...

I'll try to consolidate my thoughts about my goals for this cube.... I think the thing that draws me most to that 2000-2002 era of magic was the introduction of so many new ways to win a game of magic, while ultimately lacking in the strength of support to really go bananas with everything...

So there was some pretty interesting decks in the mix. I ran the Esper Artifact Deck that I was sure would do better. I made a couple draft mistakes thinking a Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Mindslaver would wheel. I was also lacking enough support for the Gifts Ungiven and Torrential Gearhulk in...

That split you mentioned hit the nail on the head. I'm really at a fork in the road on my cube design. I'll share more thoughts on last Thursday's outing and how it might've given me a little clarity, but first the decks: 3-0 Ones 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Deathrite Shaman 1 Sensei's Divining...

This discussion is relevant to my interests, and articulates some thoughts I've been unable to put into words. Is there an independent thread on Riptide where we can highlight specific combo archetypes that exemplify these ideas? Most of the content I have to add to this discussion is deck...

Perhaps this is more along the lines of the Saproling Burst support I'm looking for: Purphoros, God of the Forge Anyone tested this?
