Lets go in order, here is the original midrangy version that could beat down with a golem tribal plan, or combo out with infinite golem tokens or mindshrieker activations. Here is an aggressive U/W heroic/tempo deck. Scry from the battlewise hoplites act as the primary card selection...

Ingot chewer :eek:

To repeat and expand a bit from what I learned from my own experiments with combo, which is one of the only data points we have. The combo must be: 1. Organic to the structure of the cube. 2. Reasonably disruptable. That deck was super resilient, and didn't really care about the power...

I don't know, Hixus seems really nice for an environment to me. Flash creatures are a nice mechanic for encouraging draw-go and making counterspells better, but there is sadly a small number of them that are viable. This one doubles as a source of removal for those decks, and also seems like a...

Yeah, I added three thrummingbirds. One of the reasons (besides the obvious forthcoming counters theme) is that I wanted to run phyrexian mana, as another source of "bleed" damage. So tezzeret's gambit tezzeret's gambit pith driller act of aggression gut shot dismember vault skirge...

Really good post, I had missed a number of those cards. The mawcor's are actually kind of interesting, because they can ping the pingers until turning into evasive finishers. I had also forgotten the way cards that grant death touch or other status effects worked with pingers. Dismiss into dream...

You could actually run windreaver if you wanted. Its excellent with damage on the stack and should fit well in a durdly format with a large amount of removal. In fact, the art is so awesome lets get a better look at it A few others, besides those already mentioned are Aven...

What uw decks do you want to see? Hussar is one of those cards that never seems to get there, and it might be better to go with something more direct and impactful to the themes you want to encourage.

Any sweet deck lists? I like how you are running wall of stone to create the maximum 1997 experience.

Its a lot of work to build a cube, both posting about it, and doing the gatherer research. What I would suggest is follow the example of the Design//Contruction threads, where you are essentially leading a discussion, and requesting feedback on your ideas or when you run into problems. You...

The R/G blood thirst deck wants some good 1 drop sources of damage. I was thinking this was a good opportunity to run some sweet utility 1 drops. goblin arsonist goblin fireslinger goblin fireslinger spikeshot elder I have granger guildmage in green, but am looking for some other...

Strolling through Diakonov's classic cube, made me realize this guy needed to be posted stat: This is a card where the older, darker, printing just makes it look even better.

This is a really good topic, that probably should be delved into more. I've traditionally counted any sort of permanent removal, disruptable removal, and bounce. I tried to find a MARO article where he defines removal, and failed; however the gamepedia wiki has it described as such: Which...

snap + two bouncelands is a great feeling. You can also use it as a de facto counterspell on removal, while still keeping mana up for the turn. Silent departure is one of my favorites. Mana sink and repeat bounce is such a beating.

Why dethrone? When I looked it up, its a triggered ability that still gives the counter regardless of what happens to the life total prior to the trigger's resolution. I added in a third set of pains. The worry I have with fetches, is that they let you avoid painlands to fix. I want mana...

Having a little bit of a split seems like it could be a good thing, as you again have that tension between multi-color greed, and simple mana bases built around basics. With decent life gain mechanics, it gives a control deck not only natural anti-aggro tools, but the ability to tap into the...

Well, not so much resource denial as adding a resource to the game. I never played the desert cube; did not like the fixing.

This is probably the worst idea ever, but the posts in Turillazzo's thread got me thinking what a cube built around painlands would look like. I have the shell here, just with the lands, as it occured to me that there was just too many creative angles to approach. This almost feels like a...

Mortivore is a good low power control finisher, where it can hold the line, growing off of spot removal, before eventually turning into the abyss and closing out the game. I also really like lumberknot and algae gharial in that role. The other ones have more broad midrange applications. The...
