I think one of the biggest challenges with mono colored cube is how to keep signals in the draft, since you can just pick whatever, so that there needs to be some very clear differences between themes, but not so that they are isolated and people just auto draft their decks.

Is icatian javelineers even a card? Isn't a one time ping just incredibly narrow?

I might actually be sold on that cat as well. Been looking got more 'tricky' cards.

I would like to say the contrary! I think this is definetilly shaping up to be a really fenomenal set.

Doesn't the steep mana costs dictate enough of a requisite on the deck your drafting to mitigate the drawback of it being slotted in a lot of different decks? Like it's not a colorless 3 mana 3/3 that just goes in all decks. edit: Got a draft down, but the servers crashed! Ones 1 Icatian...

I wanna draft a tempo deck with that and aura gnarlid and a bunch of arrests.

Running it in a low powered format was sort of the entire premise of it, I don't think it's worth bothering with mill strategies in the same format as thragtusk midrange and reanimator.

This set is shaping up into one really nice draft set by the looks of it. I like how the mechanics so far reward the proactive player.

Yeah, I guess it's like a mutilate that doesn't trap you in MBC?

I looked into the burning vengeance decks from innistrad and honestly it almost feels like it needs to be UR by necessity, because a huge part of the self mill and flashback comes from blue, but I feel like there could be some bleed with gruul if we want to have a burnin vengeance deck that can...

Oh wow that seems pretty disgusting with gravecrawlers and bloodsoaked champions.

Totally misread this the first time. Almost a really really sweet card, now I think it'll mostly be fun during origins draft.

Honestly removing powered cards to make room for sole really sweet cards with some nostalgic value sprinkled in just seems like the right thing to do

Oh no I was totally thinking of black vise I think

Isn't the rack busted even in regular powerful cubes?

I run a pretty average riptide cube and it's been pretty good here. Since you ping your opponent it can be up to an 8 point life swing, and evasion is relevant a lot of the times

Maybe it's better to focus on engines then? Engines and more synergistic kills? Specific two card combos seem bad for a lot of reasons already specified.

Ok, so I'm resurrecting this to just throw an idea out there now that I've gotten my eyes open for lower power and more combo oriented decks. The idea is that in an environment where there's a bunch of graveyard enablers already there you could draft a controlly GR build by grinding away at...

Gosh I wonder what this set would've been like without spirits.

I'm seriously considering rebuilding my cube with bouncelands and refugees. Seems so much more fun and earnest than proxied fetches and shocks. Cool to see you having such a nice streak!
