If you want to boost green aggro, I know Eric has been saying that triple experiment one pretty much made the archetype for him. Might be something to consider. For the 5th elf, I would probably run Avacyn's pilgram, for all of the reasons you've stated. If you want to support ramp, green...

My vote is for lavamancer. Even in the old cube, the 1RR activation on spikeshot was asking too much. Plus grim's art is much better.

After giving it some thought, I think I would rather run lava dart over flame jab, basing the decision entirely on the merits of instant v. sorcery speed. That is a close decision though, because flame jab is better at filling up the graveyard with lands. Recoil is a good idea. I like how it...

You also have the two wildfires, so red looks pretty decent as far as mass removal goes. Maybe have a blasphemous act on standby, or if you wanted to mix it up and run a slightly weaker card that stays on pace with the "red creature ETB mass removal" theme, there is wildfire cerberus. Maybe...

devil's play lightning surge

Yeah, there are only a handful of blue sac outlets unfortunately. I tried barrin in the past, but his double UU was an impediment to him being drafted. ISD block has a lot of token makers. Triple ISD just has doomed traveler and stitcher's apprentice at common; and mausoleum guard, midnight...

lol, as one of the few people that has had to actually make that choice....I went with ghoultree. The single green in the CC combined with the better creature type made the difference. You have to have something sweet to combo with undead alchemist after all. However, in a less graveyard...

I've been considering running it in my new cube. It has a lot of utility as a graveyard enabler, mill piece, and draw fixer. I am not sure how many other cubes really want that sort of effect though.

Thanks for the response. Right now everything is at a low power level so that I can "tune up" the list where it’s needed, so card recommendations are definitely appreciated. I really like the vessel of endless rest and centaur chieftain suggestions. I still have 0 idea what I want to do for...

To hopefully clarify some context, it was this specific exert from the article that made me pause: I suspect it’s more of a question of degrees, but that seemed a little extreme for me. However, I don't want to give people the idea that having a format where top decking occurs is...

Yeah, I try to stay away from rating systems: individual biases etc. As long as it’s a respected format, that’s enough for me to pay attention to it, and RGD clearly is. I'm so sorry you drafted fallen empires though. That’s the thing with cube though-- the ecology is dependent on what you...

It sounds like a tempo-light format, and that seems more the issue than speed of the format--whether a tempo-light format can be fun in cube. None of us really want to go back to the dark days of low-tempo grim monilith cubes, which is what signets and company are associated with. I'm sure...

lol, i'm actually more worried about increasing confusion in that regard. I'm a little curious whether people will start drafting over 40 card decks as a defense. Not sure if thats something I want. No one drafted the altars this week, but I am sure that will change since they saw how powerful...

Ok, so right now the cube is really slimed down for speed--at least as much as I could with a major token theme. I have no persist or undying creatures, or planeswalkers, and have tried to keep to a minimum the number of creatures that leave tokens behind when they die. Since the cube is...

Innistrad Themed Cube (360 Unpowered) I.Introduction So, this is a project I’ve been toying around with for about the last month and was finally able to give it its beta run this weekend. After running my cube for a while, I wanted to build something that reflected more what I had learned...

Rampaging Baloths because of the art. The broodmaster looks too much like an oversized chicken for me to take it seriously.

Some other tokencentric/sacrifice cards to maybe keep on the radar Dictate of Heliod Talrand's Invocation talrand, sky summoner cackling counterpart stitcher's apprentice corpsehatch emrakul's hatcher nest invader kozilek's predator Call of the Herd awakening zone blade of the bloodchief helm...

Mortarpod can also block. I feel like we've formed a mortarpod self help group.

How has this guy been for you guys that run him? Too narrow? Or reasonable in a variety of different decks? Young Pyromancer

It’s really amazing how different our experiences can be with the same cards. For us, blasting station wasn't ever really a card. Mortapod has been ok, it sees play but its impact in games has been pretty marginal. It helps that it comes with something to sacrifice, and it provides another...
