Far and away my favorite tapping effect in cube is: pacification array (In no small part due to trinket mage-ability)

I'd say there's a good thread on that here: http://riptidelab.com/forum/forums/cube-talk.5/ In all seriousness, though, this is a very broad question. To laser in on one piece of it, to lessen the format feeling like it's on rails, have more than one thing for each color pair to do. Masters...

GoodGamery.com (It's not a wizards of the coast card, let's put it that way)

Some really fun stuff was talked about in this thread: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/making-control-decks-more-interesting.1268/ Seeing gifts talked about piques my interest re: "The Baron" being talked about by grillo several times recently. Making "The Baron" work at a slightly higher...

Rev is the same style of finisher as Upheaval, at a more fair power level. It doesn't win you the game, but it resolving increasing your odds of winning by a major-to-tremendous margin, regardless of some specific combo with the draw effect.

Molten Vortex Stormbind Life from the Loam

Man WOTC is on fire with equipment these days. Menace is superb, and it's not crazy powerful like wargear. Nice!

Re: squirell dealer, You can ask someone not in your play group, like a spouse etc., or even call someone. Doesn't specify in the room. Card seems cute

I thought Jason put a monumental effort into making the lifegain deck work, and the outcome was that it really doesn't work that well? For me WB is a perfect place to foster a death and taxes style agro deck. Like so: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/815077[/url]"] Ones 1 Bloodforged Battle-Axe 1...

It's definitely ok to have two, different, versions of a "counterspell one-drop" creature. I'd say just drop the one-drop slot if you don't really like anything. Blue really doesn't need it for a tempo/agro deck in the colors to work. As your deck above illustrates, the archetype will happily...

Hypnotic Siren probably never gets cast for {U} ever. Will probably be removing it for that reason and replacing with another steal effect. Second the sentiment there are not that many good U one drops on purpose. Not every color is supposed to have aggressive one drop creatures, and this...

Rough draft of deck I'm tinkering around with for road trip funsies at GP Toronto, based on Dom's shell Ones 4 faithless looting 4 lightning axe Twos 4 grim Flayer 4 goryo's vengeance 3 life from the loam 1 collective brutality Threes 4 seismic assault 2 footsteps of the goryo 1 eternal...

At 360 (1) cards, I'm not even sure you need/want another of this effect? I might put, for instance, another reanimation effect before a sixth of this kind of effect, especially considering you also have a variety of plain discard effects (Rotting Rats etc)

yeah that's perfectly fine; I think the Tome is probably a "safer" test subject, as it's a clean and simple effect/card. Whatever way the cookie crumbles, colorless looting will be a tradeoff. None of it is as good as on-color looting as of yet. Something like Insidious Dreams might be an...

If you are replacing a creature slot (not that that means much), the Deal Broker Alfonzo mentioned is nice. Not having a cost associated with the looting is a major upside here. Not sure if you don't want draft shenanigans or something.

In the nonland section I 100% agree with this sentiment. My Cubetutor list is a rainbow of "upgraded" versions (alters etc), and I enjoy a variety of printings besides. I think the only thing I really have strayed away from is foreign and textless. I like my drafters to be able to read the cards...

Lol. I do go for a diversity of arts, but I really aim for the uniformity in style. All full art lands is nice looking as far as I'm concerned, and they are also easy to sort out of decks at the end of the day. I hope they decide to do the "one full art, the rest regular" again to help...

Green-centric control is probably my favorite thing to have figured out for my format, its just super great. One of my drafters built a UG ramp-control recently and swept the table with it, and it was awesome. A key player was definitely deathgorge scavenger, which provided a critical life...

From what I read somewhere, it's a tribute to Wayne England. This is the sketch he submitted to the art director for review, and he passed away before finishing the complete version :(.
