This pretty much mirrors my experiences with both ninja and his buddy mistblade shinobi. They both can be impactful and lead to interesting decisions, but they're probably other blue cards I could be running in that slot that would be better for my cube. However, at this point they are...

I've never had much success with making tinker fair/fun...however on the off chance that you can break the code, there is this guy that loves small artifacts: esperzoa And things you could either sacrifice/bounce/recur, in addition to the ones you already mentioned, could include: pithing...

Here is the old version of the sky hussar deck in action for anyone interested. Pretty funny stuff.

This might be a good thread to look at it. A lot of the graveyard cards were already compiled there. I referenced it when I was reworking my cube to be more graveyard intensive, and thought it was pretty helpful.

I run both nighthowler and bonehoard, and bonehoard is the better card i.m.o. I find Bonehoard to be the less narrow card, since it can come down as a resilient midgame threat that scales into the lategame, while nighthowler seems at its best as a late game finisher for decks following a very...

Well, this is very well timed. I've been looking to run some combat tricks to help the aggressive players generate tempo later in the game. I could imagine doing this in a cube that is having an issue like that, and running a few decent heroic cards in slots where it makes sense to do so...

This looks pretty reasonable. Since you are running sylvan safekeeper have you considered running cards that want cards/lands in your graveyard? Perhaps threshold cards, deathrite shaman (if the power level isn't too high) or worm harvest? Let me know how the dictate of heliod works out. I've...

No, its ok, by all means you can make those changes gradually. Its not so much that you're gimping those archetypes though, as it is that you're creating different strategic approaches. So, you might cut a green ramper and run an emrakul's hatcher in red instead, that a sacrifice deck or control...

Ok...so that was a lot to unpack, but let’s see if maybe you can bounce some ideas and get things a bit more focused: 1) It sounds like you're probably going to build the cube, get the band back together, and then try to hook them in one night of awesome cube gameplay. 2) you want to lower...

Thats a really interesting problem. If a control deck is a more spell based deck that runs spell based answers and wins in the late game, than the problem might be that that whole strategic approach is just struggling in your particular environment. The line between midrange and control is...

Ah, Kokusho, the evening star reunited with his old buddy skeletal vampire; and there is firemane angel too. All you need now is giant solifuge, burning-tree shaman, and rumbling slum...maybe go deep with Kodama of the North Tree? Don't mind me, I’m just drowning on nostalgia. But back on...

With pleasure! I would suggest at least trying him because power level can be difficult to assess in cube in the abstract, since it is environment contingent, and every environment is different. It's also sometimes more important to run a fun card that people like, even if it’s a bit...

Yeah, my list is posted in this thread: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/grillos-multiplayer-cube.529/ which is listed right below your thread, and also in the messege I sent you, about a week ago ;) Looking over your posted list, I would strongly suggest you cut polukranos world eater if...

Hmmm...you could be right about that. No one has ever actually put it together (though last week a guy was running both it and the pestermite in his deck...it just never came together). Maybe part of me just wants to see it happen, but it could be really bad for the games. I was able to talk...

Yeah, I run the werewolves, but another thing that my cube does, for similar effect, is running threshold creatures, such as krosan beast and were bear. I've generally not found threshold to be powerful enough on its own in cube, but since I’ve added a dredge theme in black and green, it has...

lol...i'm sorry, we use guild lands as proxies for shocklands, i'm so used to seeing them like that, I forgot to include a note on the OP explaining what was going on there. How good is twin/kiki without the instant kill element? I thought it might be a bit more reasonable in a multiplayer...

Well, I finally updated cube tutor haha. Anyways, posted the list in this thread: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/grillos-multiplayer-cube.529/ You can help me decide on a non-0 number for the number of planeswalkers I should run.

A few of the things I am experiementing with/debating: Champion of the Parish: I see this guy ran in some of the lists on here, but I am not sure he can pull his weight, despite there being a large number of humans in my cube. Splinter twin: I had originally ran this to combo with...

List: http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/9492 Note: guildlands are proxies for shocklands So I was asked in this thread to post my list, and here goes. Its basically a riptide list that’s been tweaked for multiplayer. It mostly revolves around brainstorm based aggro-control decks (U/W artifacts...

Gasp! No delver of secrets! Other cards I really like in this archetype are Esperzoa,tangle wire, shardless agent, master of etherium, bonesplitter, gush, force of will, ancestral vision, tradewind rider, brainstorm
