If you have 20 spells in a 40 card deck, you should be consistantly flipping delver, and it will be well worth running. The thing with those decks is that they are basically burn decks, supported by some kind of evasive threat (or threat that can be made evasive) that synergizes well with...

I think you're probably right about that, the deck you posted looked a bit like a hybrid of two strategies. If you wanted to tweek it, I think maybe adding a second stoneforge would help make it easier to draft. Anyways, I wanted to try to force the archetype, and this is what I got...

Do you think people are just drafting the deck poorly right now? It looks like there is a more aggro-controllish U/W version, based around stoneforge, and a more controllish tinker version of the deck. Have you seen any U/R varients running trash for treasure yet? It looks like it could be...

Laz, how have you been liking your tinker package so far? If you have an example of a tinker control deck, I would love to see it.

So, I did a few drafts, here are the results: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/198999[/url]"] Ones 1 Bonesplitter 1 Dryad Militant 1 Galvanic Blast 1 Gideon's Lawkeeper 1 Judge's Familiar 1 Legion Loyalist 1 Student of Warfare Twos 1 Bloodcrazed Neonate 1 Curse of Stalked Prey 1 Gore-House...

I like what you did with your more controlling red section, and I think the mana base is probably ok. The only concrete things I can add without playing the list, is that people tend not to play bounce lands when they feel their is a risk of being blown out by land destruction. I love vampire...

It would probably be very good than if you ran a high density of raid and morbid creatures?

I'm actually also not a big fan of life from the loam outside of certain environments. In the old cube, now that I look back on it, it was an overly narrow build around piece that never really justified its spot. In the new cube, it actually has the utility to justify its spot; as a way to...

Is runechanter's pike really worth it in cubes without a spells matter theme?

Another vote for tec. edge or ghost quarter. I am also not a lover of wasteland, for reasons already stated.

I think it would need to be a 3-4cc version to be playable, unless you are deliberatly slowing down your format (at which point 5cc + deathtouch is fine). Those types of cards are engine pieces, and need to come down rather early. A 1/5 with that ability at 4cc would be fine, but I think...

Because self-mill represents an alternate (and generally less efficient) form of card advantage, it can be outcompeted by more efficient draw spells, which can marginalize your self-mill cards. If people arn't playing self-mill as a way to get through their deck, than it becomes harder, but not...

Yeah, pretty much. 5 mana is just very clunky both for the effect and the body. You can tell the card was designed for a slower format.

I think the relationship of these 5 cards help show the U/G relationship, and how it can carry over into BUG. Armored Skaab stitched drake dream twist mulch splinterfright B/G Dredge tends to be a very slow grindy deck in limited. The addition of U helps fill some of the decks weak...

I think spider spawning is probably the perfect represention of a what BUG is all about: being able to use self mill to dig through your deck, and than using the graveyard as a source of card advantage that affects the board.

Thats a complicated question, the short answer is that is that its all meta dependent. The long answer is that one of the things I wanted from my cube was to have a dynamic and evolving meta game, where an initial "best deck" would emerge to prey upon the default draft strategies, causing...

Yeah, I'm kind of eager to see how the drafts play out now, for better or for worse, this is very different from what I was expecting. One other interesting exert, from a multi-color cube design perspectice, was this: This seems very clever. They've included these pushed commons that are a...
