Goblins! Super linear drafting at it's best. RDW is largely replaced by this deck in this cube. And while that reduces drafting choices to some extent, I think this solves a problem that many cubes have (specifically that RDW and variants are too good and too easy to build). We've gotten a...

Esper Tinker Control This is likely better with Show and Tell and See Beyond, but both cards are in other decks. So this build is less combo and more control. I'm on the fence about making Seat of the Synod be a squadron pick (2 of). I will almost certainly do that with the cycling lands, mainly...

Bant Opposition This started just Simic, but I tossed in a couple white cards to help the tempo side a bit (sunscape and Armageddon). Opposition is broken so pretty much any list that gets it in play with dudes is going to have a good chance of winning. Decks with lynchpin cards tend to live and...

Storm Sigh... I really struggle drafting and playing this deck. It's complicated. It's like expert level Sudoku. I love Sudoku, but every time I try to do one of the super hard mode ones, I get frustrated and usually screw it up at some point. That's storm. This puzzle I want to solve that...

BUG Reanimator This - or some flavor of it - was probably the best deck in my original cube. Primarily due to a very clunky mana curve (so aggro wasn't viable), and an overabundance of reanimation spells and targets. I do very much like playing this deck. It's combo, so tickles that spot for me...

Mono Black One of my favorite archetypes. Actually building a true mono black deck with zero splashes is fairly difficult to do in a real draft. So this list is idealized to some extent. That said, you can splash a bit and not be hurt terribly. It revolves around Pox style gameplay. Black has...

So in the combo list I added another 20 or so modern frame cards. Finally broke on the artifact restriction (old border). Running maybe 50/50 now on old vs new cards. Still needs a little tweaking, but it's pretty close now I think. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/63093 I also did a large...

I'm going to have to run these just for the nickname Bicycle Land. That's quite good.

We definitely have an Astral Slide thread. And when this set is fully spoiled, I might resurrect it (unless someone beats me to it).

I hope we get more cubeable cycling cards, because I'm currently obsessed with Astral Slide. It's clumsy as far as flicker effects go though. Most cubes are probably not going to be able to support it.

LOL. That's the primary reason why I do actually want to. Because wizard's made the card technically. That said, how are you guys making good proxies? Every attempt I've done looks like crap and ascetics maters to me. It probably shouldn't but it does. My proxies are eye sores and I...

This is about as tempted as I've been to run custom proxies. :)

Yup. I'm holding out hope for the full cycle. I'm all about running more dual lands with basic land types. Along the same lines, I really like the onslaught mono colored cycle lands. I think they are really underrated.

I was thinking like a three musketeers thing. Taking on a bunch of guys. Still feels like a duelist. I'm more disturbed by the demon that has no drawback. Just upside. That should have been some other creature type.

I think you should not limit yourself to just one of them if more than one serves a valuable role in your list. The world won't end if you have two dimir flashback cards. Tiny balance inconsistencies like this are invisible during drafts. It's only the OCD you have to worry about while looking...

I found him a tad slow. But I would agree Penny Pincher power level it could have a home.

I'd love to see the US get away from two party politics. We really have two parties in name only anyway. And Phyrexian Revoker is a really great card IMO. Has so many uses and it's even a goblin piker for 2 colorless mana.

Yeah. Bernie seemed like the most obvious choice possible and I was very involved in his primary. He's a complete anomaly in today's political world. Still a guy of principles that hasn't been bought yet somehow managed to gain national notoriety by simply connecting with what was happening...

Fair enough. Could just be wishful thinking on my part. Trying to rationalize how we are going to turn this around. Because we aren't in a good place as a species.

Tribalism has certainly taken root with respect to politics. It's completely irrational at this point. As far as empathy and what is really driving younger generations, I have to believe it's more than what you are suggesting. Because as a species we are running out of runway being this...
