    Retro Combo Cube

    Naya Zoo vs Dimir Psycatog Control Final decks in action. The Naya deck is mostly an agro list. Kird Ape, Qasali Pridemage, Lightning Helix. It has landfall elements as well. Steppe Linx and a concentration of fetch lands that both help with Kird Ape and trigger land fall. This deck also has a...

    Retro Combo Cube

    If I feel like I can get away with that, I do. But it's risky and I usually am compelled to use one on something they have.

    Retro Combo Cube

    Thanks! I was badly rushed with the last one I did so made a ton of mistakes. Play mistakes are one thing but stuff like Terastodon killing a creature, that's just really sloppy. So I'll try to be better in future write ups. There's not much value to these if rules are being broken. I'll be out...

    Retro Combo Cube

    Yeah. That sucks but it's still powerful. I usually target my opponent's land if I can keep them off a color or I think that tempo hit gives me time to win. Then I will typically blow up my own lands. But there are cases this is not the right line of play and that's why I think the card is...

    Retro Combo Cube

    Elves! vs UWR Firemane Control Elves is fairly straight forward. Lots of forests, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, Green Sun's Zenith for some toolbox action, Terrastodon, Primeval Titan, Silvos, Rogue Elemental for top end. The UWR deck has a lot of elements going. Much like the RBW deck above...

    Retro Combo Cube

    UR Spells vs RBW Sacrifice Combo I'll refrain from making any predictions since that went super badly with the last match. UR spell is a pretty typical list. Snapcaster Mage, Young Pyromancer, Guttersnipe, Treasure Cruise with lots of burn and cheap cantrip type spells (sprinkled with some...

    Retro Combo Cube

    White Weenie vs The Rock Drafting in this cube is more linear than in more traditional lists. This is on display with the WW deck. It features three 2 mana CC cards - the soltari bros and Crusade. In the case of the latter, it's obsoleted by honor of the pure in modern cubes but I wanted this...

    Retro Combo Cube

    Goblins! vs Dimir Show and Tinker The Goblin deck is what RDW looks like in this cube list. The key pieces are Goblin Lackey, Goblin Warchief, Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Piledriver, Goblin Recruiter and Goblin Ringleader. In addition, we have high powered RDW pieces. Sulfuric Vortex and...

    Retro Combo Cube

    4 Color Storm vs GUw Opposition I was anxious for match 2. Storm is a bit of a albatross. It's hard to draft, really hard to play, extremely draw dependent, un-interactive and highly polar in how it goes off (all or nothing). GUw runs Opposition, which is probably the most broken card in my...

    Retro Combo Cube

    Mono Black vs BUG Reanimator Match one went 2-1 for Mono Black. I doubt each match will be this neat and tidy. The BUG list had Simic Sky Swallower, Bogardan Hellkite, and Borborygmos Enraged as it's prime targets. Blue discard with some tutors in black. Fast (aka broken) reanimation spells...

    Retro Combo Cube

    The Original High combo list has been expanded to 405 cards. It started 360 but after doing mock drafts in cube tutor, I wanted some variety in a regular 8 man draft. I first expanded to 380, then to 400 and finally 405 after I added in 3 conspiracy draft matter cards (Lore Seeker, Deal Broker...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Those changes look really good. Sad to see Phyrexian Arena go. I have a soft spot for the card.

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    I was trying to do a Golgari graveyard thing with that second deck but I made a few mistakes in the draft, especially passing lands I shouldn't have. And black was just so open. In the end, I could have still run that GB thing and had some some sweet lines with Vengevine, mongrel, etc. But I...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    This list is sweet. Just drafted this. Cataclysm/Zuran Orb/Wasteland + Titania is pretty filthy. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/774458[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Zuran Orb Ones 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Land Tax 1 Mother of Runes 1 Noble Hierarch 1 Rancor 1 Student of Warfare Twos 1 Declaration in Stone 1...

    General Unstable Spoiler Unthread

    Clever spin on the transform mechanic. I'm highly entertained by that. Sword of D&D is also cool. Not sure I want to run it, but the nostalgia is there for me and it's powerful enough.

    Who says they have to include it in the set? Maybe they'll make a joke about it and print contraptions, riggers and all that but NOT actually reprint Steamflogger Boss. They can even reference it in flavor text to add to the joke. "Hey, anybody seen steamflogger Boss?"

    I was going to respond with a jab at how surprising it is to me that people always come to the defense of WOTC no matter what they do. And then I realized it's just as easy to reverse that and say how surprising it is that people always want to attack WOTC regardless of what they do (like me...

    Contraptions? Oh snap. Steamflogger Boss is probably still bad though right? I opened that in a Future Sight pack way back when and was pretty unhappy about it as I recall.

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    Try non-creature options. T1: Goblin Welder T2: Faithless looting discard Tangle Wire or Gilded Lotus, play Chromatic star, Weld into play wire or lotus. Tangle Wire with Welder can get filthy. So can Winter Orb. If those cards are too powerful for what you are running, what about Memory Jar...
