    General Lessons from a block cube

    You are completely right that fixing the removal problem in your eld+ cube makes it a better cube! I am not hung up on staying urza block, but for my playgroup I stick to cards from fallen empires until scourge. Which also happens to be the bulk of my collection. Your removal point also brings...

    General Lessons from a block cube

    Yes, rath plus was more of a historic cube with the main part rath. First, let's use mechanics as a restrictive measure otherwise you start to count a few simple keywords like flying, vigilance, haste. Cycling is a keyword but in urza block more or less a mechanic. Second, I would suggest to...

    Because in real life you would not be the only green player... the bots currently suck, and they wheel a hermit. Against a sky deck the 4/4 reach helps tremendously. Remember, a 4/4 for 5 is more or less on par in those days. Your deck looks great, but the Emperor Crocodile is a bit balsy with...

    General Lessons from a block cube

    You guys and gals first started me on creating a cube. Then you made me put it into cubecobra and gave me great advice, so maybe it is fair that I contribute a bit back on the lessons I learned. First a bit of background: I started playing during urza block as a elementary schoolkid and...

    Yeah infinite mana, but you need 6 lands. I had it once, so you play your whole hand which where 3 other cards... the only wincons are stroke of genius and goblin festival. A three card wacky combo for the win!

    You are right that Sneak attack is not too strong in this cube. The best targets are Weatherseed Treefolk or Viashino Cutthroat or one of the creatures with enter triggers Dark Hatchling . Opposition is painful in combination with Goblin Marshal but the problem with opposition is that...

    Thank you, I had to create a cube on cubecobra and hence it took a few days. I put the cube in my signature, but here is a link https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/16se Regarding the perceived OP cards: Tolarian academy and Serra's Sanctum suffer from the lack of having many cheap...

    Good idea, I should find time to put it into cube cobra (or is another website better?). It is a tad slow due to the power level of creatures, but certainly not busted. Most of the busted cards in urza block are actually not busted in this cube. Which cards do you expect to be busted?

    When comparing cube with constructed one immediately assumes that you can perfectly curve out in cube. This is a very strong assumption which I do not agree on. When taplands are bad is when one: 1) can most of the time curve out 2) wastelandmania exist 3) one cheats on lands, I.e., plays...

    Mister Funch, if my opponent plays treetop I am much more afraid than the pain land. The curve thing is a fallacy. In my experience it happens much more often that you draw a normal land while you rather had drawn a village. Furthermore, perfectly curving out is even in constructed a rarity...

    For cards you want to untap: Phyrexian colossus visara the dreadful or Shauku, endbringer Actually, which colors do you desire?

    What about supertrample? thorn elemental Rhox (I do not know how to make a link otherwise I would let supertramp point to well, you know the band...)

    I saw your list and think somnophore is probably the weakest of the 3. Your white section has stronger filters, red and black can easily kill it.

    Monschwein: what do you want out of it? It is actually a fight between one of the first two and somnophore. I do like that somnophore makes you work for it. As a reward it could be a game changer, but it is a very weak creature. As a bonus: that illustration is really nice.
