It depends. I find arena really strong, even though it can kill yourself. The suicide by arena happens as often as you die by mana burn, i.e., rarely. Underworld is most of the times an expensive arena. Arguel can draw a lot of cards in one turn and is even more expensive than underworld. 2 mana...

Stampede for me since it gives all your creatures the boost as opposed to the drummer. That said, you have steep requirements. In the old days the aggro madness deck used the blue loot cards since they are cheap mana cost wise. This left mana to use on madness and in turn changed the looting...

Well both red and blue have options to reanimate artifacts, e.g, Goblin welder and Argivian Restoration so I am a bit surprised no one mentioned the big and still biggest daddy for your Erratic explosion tales. Draco What do you know, it is even castable for less than its cmc! Keeping in...

What if you would allow your drafters to add a certain amount of the cycling lands (not bicycle) from the land box? And add the bicycle ones in the draft. Cheap way to increase the amount.

That sounds like a blast! How was it on the receiving end? If you ever need a weaker 3 mana version there is Anurid scavenger. However it has protection from black...

Because you want to be able to cycle cards, play memory jar and play your new hand? Just one non-land card or a cycle-land would be good. If you did not tap the cradle and you would draw the jar you lose a turn.

Where did I say I had only three lands? I said I tap three lands to pay for search and leave one blue and a lot of green in the pool. You are not winning with cradle because there are no such nonsense cards that you win the game if you reach a large amount of mana. Games tend to go quite a few...

I admit that my cube is weird but imagine the following scenario. You play green blue in urza block cube. You have deranged hermit and its four furry friends plus a random critter or 2. The opponent is at 8 and has 4 creatures and phyrexian processor untapped and enough mana to make one...

reclamation sage slots in any deck due to the grey ogre case. nature's claim , however can be a dead card. I like it when a card requires a true choice, do I add the claim to my deck knowing that there are times when it is a dead card? That it is an instant is also nice and the wake example is...

Most cubes have there players start with a deck of 40 cards. So, with your starting hand of 7 including the isle you only need to thin your library by 12. Since it is a blue card it is likely you will draw/loot 4 cards in 6 turns. Not to mention fetchlands which lower the clock by one. It is...

I agree that mana burn most of the times does not come up. However, if you add powerful mana makers like the ones in the infamous urza block then I like that you sometimes get punished. Playing something really powerful like gaea's cradle or Rofellos without a downside?

What do you want to get out of the classic cube? That list seems like it wants to do a little bit too much. Plus the band of the power level is huge. Rebels? Only a quarter of the white creatures? Weak, unfun, repetitive, and a trap if 2 go for it. I choose a pre nwo block because I like...

@Ravnic: how do you suppose your drafters draft these cards? Is each one a pick with the risk that you end up without the evolved version or the babypokemon? That is quite unforgiving. Or do you want to squadron them or do you hand out the evolved one if you picked the babymon? If you want to go...

Thanks! This forum made me make a cube a while back. Your drafters probably do not know Gurzigost so if you do not mind you could sharpie the mana cost away. Or alter it to pay 2 life? Nanonox if you have such a strong mill theme may I suggest Genesis ? It is almost a one card engine and...

Hello guys/girls, Long time lurker of this great forum and finally took the effort to contribute. You are looking for protection against self-mill which is not only self-mill protection. Your cube is quite high powered but maybe this oldy when big creatures had to have a drawback: Gurzigost...
