Both those decks look fantastic. That goblins deck is basically perfect, and that interaction between burst and bushwhacker is a new one for me (usually its comboed with fallen angel or death triggers). No one else was in red i see because wow! If you feel the waifs are too strong, dont...

I would say generally its a troll card. I plan on ultimately running a lot of incidental life gain to off set it though

I will say something nice in support of renowned. For the cards that have impactful triggers you can leverage that as pressure to generate tempo as the opp can't let those cards connect

So, after giving it some thought, and after the prison thread, I have a better idea what I want. Instead of running prison archetypes that change the texture of a given game, I want the cube itself to feel like the prison, with escape in reach, but freedom only being obtainable by killing your...

I've been using the multi-color section as a sort of flex section, where the cards are there to provide prompts to players of differnt directions they could go in the draft, that might not have been obvious to them. Sort of trying to recreate the feeling of opening a pack with interesting...

Yeah, i always had the same experience with shardless: always want to run counters in those ug tempo decks

I'm sorry, just one of my typos. "scry rule" We were bouncing between using CML's mulligan scry rule and a free mulligan rule. Now we are using the WOTC varient they are using at the pro tour. Their is a lot you can do structurally to a cube to cut down on negative variance. Honestly...

fwiw with a mana base of bouncelands and scry lands, a cube full of cheap cantrips, and using either a free mulligan or scry rule, I can't remember the last time I've seen actual mana screw. I've seen color screw, but that was the deck designers fault. Mana flood will come up occasionally, but...

Isn't it terrible because the untap symbol?

I think thats what the howling mine is for, and the deck can close out with damage. Its an interesting idea though of using micro fog effects (jace) and incrimental life gain in a control shell. I dont think these would be 90 minute games, its just a control shell with some soft lock tools...

Hmmm I had forgotten how effective incidental repeatitive life gain could be at creating a soft lock. What other decks does howling mine go into?

Anyone play with this, is it any good? Sudden Reclamation I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of a bouncland + cycling land, and invasion sac. land based mana base.

sphinx's revelation elixir of immortality How do you recreate this feeling? I think safra posted an article about a guy softlocking opponent's with a howling mine based control deck.

Is part of what makes acid-moss good the fact that you can ramp it out turn 3 with an elf? I find it so interesting that it has such a following, while other 4cc LD is basically unplayable. Might 3 mana LD be too good if you are making the same play?

I really like recover. Its good durdles. I don't think its really a power level issue as a format speed issue. I sometimes miss the old durdle days where aeon chronicler was good in cube. Than I snap back to reality. Anways, how do we draw lines with LD effects? stone rain pillage...

Yeah, those cards are going to be game breaking in a more tempo format; you only would want to play them in slower formats where the tempo loss isn't crippling. I think that may go for pillage as well, though not to the same degree. You could run multiple copies of primal command, if you are...

And also the old classic ancient grudge. Have to keep those cards in mind. I'm game, would love to get some reactions now that I added some more juice.

Right now, I've been getting requests to expand on a few contours of the cube, now thats its really hitting its paces. 1. Removal upgrade. You can kind of see the start of this with the sulfurous blast, but basically pauper runs excellent removal that can be played around, and I can recreate...
