It's alright, but never really made waves when I ran it. Maybe if you have a more dedicated lifegain theme that drafters really buy into.

Guilds of Ravnica: needless to say a powerhouse of a set Ravnica Allegience War of the Spark

Sigh, a cube has sat idle for almost three years... it's time for a fresh start! I love the groundwork I chose for the original cube, so I don't anticipate any major changes to that. Still heavily based on the graveyard, synergy-driven, and slightly down-tempo to allow time for a player's unique...

Kitesail Freebooter is awesome

Of the three in your post, I really like Dimir Charm's flexibility, especially the psuedo- "surveil 3" mode. Tyrant's Scorn is probably the most consistently usable as an actual removal spell?

I like the Dungeon Geists best of those, I suppose. Merfolk Looter is cool, but the best awesomest looter is definitely blurry beeble

daretti, scrap savant goblin welder mizzix's mastery goblin dark-dwellers grim lavamancer Red can get in on the fun too! really, entire cubes can/are built on the concept of throwing stuff into the yard. Not strictly "milling", but still the best version of this effect in red IMO: faithless...

Many removal spells get by because they are 1-for-1-ing a more expensive threat. Same general reason 1-mana removal is almost always premium in any environment it can exist in. In this cube many spells won't have that advantage until later in the game when 7-drops start coming down. I suppose...

CMC 3 board wipes would lend a big hand in doing this. I don't see any cards like infest or sweltering suns, outside of rolling temblor. Seems like spot removal is going to have a terrible time in this cube unless carefully selected, because almost all of the targets will be equal or lesser in...

Yeah it's a solid point that Twister needs to have a dedicated RG lands archetype, generally on the grindier side. I don't see it shining in "Landfall aggro"

Living Twister is really sweet to play with, but maybe a little slow for your environment? Hard for me to estimate that though. Hexdrinker is extremely pushed.

One of my faves Mishra's bauble

In this case we are talking about a specific BB card, so the conditional probability would be favored by your estimation. The flaw in Karsten's article or usage of his article is to try to achieve the same outcome as the conditional probability math with a simple marginal probability (can I cast...

They use the exact same mathematical basis, just different variables Technically there isn't a hole per the literal phrasing of his article, but there is in how games and cards actually play. Like you literally do need to factor the spell being in your hand into calculations. It doesn't...

It's functionally equivalent. A singular card that stands out in the deck via particular mana requirements.

Sorry onder, but the math literally doesn't back you up. You are running into an internal bias that is leading you to needing the mana set up more often then you will have the spell. Very unfortunate the math in my article is behind a bad gateway. Karsten's article literally fails to account...

stitcher's supplier Sidisi is a perfect signpost for the deck if you include 3 color cards in your cube

This is my original post referencing the counter-article to Karsten. Unfortunately the website linked seems to be down or defunct. Red text on the critical point re: the weakness of the Karsten article (weakness in terms of Karsten's own evaluation, percentage of failure states). Splashes in...
