    General Vintage

    I think that because vintage as a format is all about magic's mistake, and there is a real limit on suitable disruption; maybe make it where everyone gets 2-3 FOW at the end of the draft? 180 cards is probably a good idea, due to extreme print run limitations on your defining effects. Is...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think she would be pretty decent if you upped the number of cheap fight effects and added a few instant speed threatens that could untap her. The unmorph cost might be an issue though?

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Oh...we will be running kor skyfisher and glint hawk...don't you worry about that. Right now I am trying to get my head wrapped around the big mana (broken combo) portion of the cube. I think the sort of esper familiar deck would come together infrequently. You really need ghostly flicker for...

    hmmm... there is actually a surprising number of spreading sea like effects: tainted well song of the dryads lush growth lingering mirage evil presence convincing mirage spreading seas sea's claim

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Thats great feedback. I think I will probably eventually cut the guild gates, and turn those into the scry lands. I really like the way they synergize with the bounce lands to get multiple scry effects, manipulating the TOL. For anti-karoo cards, I was thinking of running stuff like ghost...

    180 cards, 3 colour cube.

    That deck looks really sweet; delving with vizier in play must have been filthy.

    Card/Deck Prowess in Cube

    The 3cc on windscout really limits the environments it can go into, unfortunatly. I like elder because of how well it works with combat tricks, but again, not every cube is looking for those types of interactions.

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Yeah, I'll run gold cards, what I mean more by that is not having a big gold section where the gold cards represent the high end of the power curve, and are a major draw for wanting to go into multi-colors. In MMA, you didn't have a focus on gold cards, but people were still occasionally running...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    {Edit: Building the Cube: As its been brought to my attention some people don't feel comfortable just doing this, if you want to build the penny pincher cube thats fine. I would just ask that credit be given to me, and that you at least try it as is. There has been hundreds of hours worth...

    Not been to mtgsalvation, but it converts action into a form of tempo and breaks symmetrical damage effects. The 4 mana buyback is pretty sweet too.

    Pete's 450 Unpowered Cube

    How happy were you with the draft? That grixis control deck looks a bit ripetidish, but with weaker removal. Did you get a chance to talk to the aggro player? It would be good to know how he felt about the fixing, if he felt like he was having hard time getting playables and forced into...

    I'm surprised they brought delve back after treasure cruise, but I'm all for them breaking the game a second time around. Soulflayer looks great. I've been looking for an excuse to run Mwonvuli Beast Tracker. I like the idea behind manifest: TOL manipulation, and another take on morph.

    Any idea how you want to setup fish? I'm legitimatly curious--I don't think anyone has ran a merfolk theme on here before.

    Pete's 450 Unpowered Cube

    Since you're already heading down that path I would cut him. The alternatives are to cut zealous conscripts and resto angel, or just be cool with a few infinite combos. You don't really have a lot of tutoring right now, so its probably not going to be too consistent, but still, its a bit of a...

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Thanks for the feedback Chris. A lot of the initial structure of the cube (tempo focused, limited removal, synergy, focus on board states) came from triple innistrad draft, but at this point it has morphed into its own format. I will try to provide some context: Aggro 1 Drops The concerns...

    There is also the issue that if a player decides to go two color aggro, they will have to prioritize fixing that dosen't CIPT, which a midrange or control opponent dosen't have to do. If you are looking to support a mono colored blue aggroish devotion deck in a singleton format, I think the...

    Pete's 450 Unpowered Cube

    Welcome to the forum! I'll ecco the issues with fixing, and with a 62 card multi-color section you really can't ignore it. Given the stipulated restrictions I would slim down the multi-color section to 30 (maybe) 40 cards. With that large of a multi-color section, a major theme of the your...
