You're better off with: nighthowler mortivore lord of extinction consuming aberration splinterfright revenant bonehoard Svogthos, the Restless Tomb They either do the same thing better, have some form of evasion, or don't take a card slot.

Speaking of bone shredder, anyone have good results yet with collected company? With most of us deliberately pushing curves down to 3, and cube being a creature-centric environment, I think it should have a home somewhere.

Falconer is a lord for the +1 +1 counters tribe, but I have no idea how high up the power level spectrum he can function. He is very good in the pincher cube. Never ran doomsayer. Silverblade Paladin is great.

Vault is just amazing in these types of formats. The ability to rig the TOL for self-mill triggers results in some of the most exciting plays and decks, while its interaction with the opponents mill or shuffle effects provides some of the most skill challenging plays. Some decks very bad want to...

By putting the "nonblack" clause on your removal, you're putting a limitation on your removal suite, that can be either good or bad depending on the context of the rest of the cube. 1. What is your existing as-fan for removal? 2. Are you already running ample means for your aggro or midrange...

How has she played out? I could put her into the pincher cube, ten mana is doable there with bouncelands, and red, blue, and black all have ways to discard her.

Guys, I really want a firemane angel based control deck. Anyone remember these decks from 2006? I know we've talked about B/W life pay control decks, but how about the RBW variety, using firemane as a life gain tool to keep card advantage engines like phyrexian arena pumping until becoming...

Hardened scales seems fine in a lower power, grindy environment, with a strong counters theme. Its pretty much great at all points of the game, where you are looking to run it in a more midrange deck based around counter generating creatures, with the ultimate gameplan of going over-the-top. I...

You have a few issues re: aggro: 1. There is a bunch of value midrange cards, which means people aren't really drafting strategically, so much as they are just putting together good stuff piles (as you noted). There is no good stuff equivalent for your aggro decks, so your drafters have to...

I could see hardened scales being good. I've occasionally ran into cards that look too narrow on paper, but in practice are fine. I was hesitant about Atog in the pincher cube, as it really can only go into a heavy artifact based deck, but it really wasn't an issue in the actual draft. As...

You know, I'm not sure I'm convinced anymore that its strictly bad to run protection, hexproof, or shroud guys. I think it depends on your removal shell: specifically what its as-fan is, and the way its distributed. Formats with a very high removal count need some resilient threats to force...

I was more curious about deck lists, because while it made sense to me that good stuff midrange would be overrepresented, I was kind of surprised that it wasn't just dominating. Sometimes the casual players that are drawn towards good stuff are more focused on having a good time than winning...

My one aggro deck I tried to draft was lost because "cube tutor is currently being upgraded" :eek: However, the deck I drafted was a R/W aggro deck. Fixing was weird, in the sense that i felt trapped in R/W the entire draft, so I will echo Laz there. The aggro decks seem really...

Thats probably a result of drafter preference. You have a number of the value green midrange cards that tend to suck those players in: eternal witness, courser of kruphix, polukranos, world eater, kalonian hydra, thragtusk, wolfir silverheart. It looks like his majesty has set up court in your...

Its a lot easier at low power because of red card quality/draw spells, spell bombs/eggs, and salvagers. You get a lot of control elements from white and red, as well as a good selection of creatures both good at attacking and blocking. Also, eternal dragon. No idea how you could translate that...

Hookmaster has been ok in the pincher cube, which probably tells you everything you need to know regards its placement in higher power cubes. Its in there as sort of a lower power way to facilitate a U/W tempo deck, but its not really high impact enough for that CC i.m.o.

Yeah, I want to hear more about this too. I love the R/W based artifact decks in the pincher cube, and would love to see a higher powered varient.
