    Generic cube

    What a great Cube name. Mine is generic too my initial reaction is that there are a lot of cards that probably won't work due to the smallness or artificiality of their themes or just low power level in general. only drafting will tell, though

    General Non Blue Control in Cube

    Yeah, Daretti is cube-dependent but my environment is very far from one that would want him. Lower power cubes with a big artifact theme will enjoy it. I may very well cut Dualcaster

    hey now with the help of warleader's helix she took down many an arbor colossus and with a lightning strike she ate their pukey. as for versatile sideboard cards being bad in cube, i think so?

    General Non Blue Control in Cube

    o i dunno they're fine. siege is great of course, and goes very well with the gravecrawler theme in addition to howling mine mode. soulfire is kind of a piece of crap but it's like a less variant Isochron Scepter and i don't mind locks in Cube, if someone gets them then congrats (though this one...

    General Non Blue Control in Cube

    The printing of Ugin has dramatically reduced the power level of the format. No longer can you just Whip everyone into submission, so it becomes a race to see who can find the most powerful thing that doesn't get Ugin'ed. Outpost Siege is a great idea, the Abzan deck and the G/W deck with...

    how cool is it to shock something and have 'em discard a card? probably worse than recoil a lot of the time. it's definitely in the "try me!" range but kinda near the bottom as far as i can tell.

    i think this card is kinda bad. rakdos charm isn't maindeckable and ergo isn't close to being cubeworthy but it was nearly a card in standard and is kind of a card in modern(?) yeah this can shock a monastery mentor and they will discard one but blightning used to kill JACE and mind rot...

    i would say you're not close to part of the problem (i hope that's obvious) since the problem is people ignoring sweet ideas due to excessive sensitivity or image issues, which is so far from what happens here it's fine that they're not redefining it but man it's hard to look at the changes in...

    General MODO Cube Redesign

    yuck what terrible design with the eldrazi. inferno titan is sweet and there is no reason to cut him because Red cards by definition can never be overpowered. to be honest i didn't look in depth at the updates except the vamps catastrophuck but i am not surprised the entire thing is more lol...

    kitchen finks is seriously insanely good in cubes like ours. one of the best first picks in my cube, i think. hard-pressed to think what i'd want over it. i think it's better than JTMS

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Mortify is boring but one of our guys wanted another way to kill enchantments. No reason to include Putrefy because BG has enough of those effects already and I don't have very many artifacts. These are brainstorms 5 and 6, everything else is just the first copy I'm definitely playing...

    ninja'ed out necropotence, kinda miserable, cut archfiend too because lol what the hell was i thinking hexmage is one of those hosers that's just kinda bad, i think? unless you had some dark depths ULD thing going on

    I think it's an interesting problem to figure out "how to fix the Modo Cube within a given set of constraints," and I care somewhat that Vampires are a bad theme, it would be sweet if drafting were better. I made this: OUT anowon, the ruin sage ascendant evincar bloodlord of vaasgoth...

    I think you guys overestimate the extent to which our ideas have any chance of getting implemented, regardless of conduct, one post saying "it might happen" won't outweigh a bunch more explicitly saying it won't, not to mention inertia, corporate conservatism, etc. I also think y'all...

    I am a huge atheist and a massive fan of the late Christopher Hitchens and I passionately loathe Sam Harris. Back in my 12-year-old Starcraft days I used to go out of my way to "debate" (if you can call it that) Christians and now I don't do that because I think it's missing the point of being...

    yeah, you're right, but the response to the first post proves people will not listen anyway and that there is to be no meaningful discussion. i could write something more measured as a reply to that, kinda wish i had, but if the definition of "meaningful discussion" involves not addressing...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    It might not merit a slot but it's definitely sweet. I tried Necropotence and hated it. Also leaving are Archfiend of Depravity and a couple of other crappy cards. Next on the docket to try: bow of nylea wandering champion terastodon brainstorm brainstorm ribbons of night crystal shard...

    we tried to do cube sealed the other day and it sucked so we just drafted instead and it was awesome
