Interesting thing about Scrap for Black is that it might actually be fairly contested as a pick. I mean, it's basically a better gore-house chainwalker I'd run it in RW aggro just for that alone

You bring up a good point about Blooghast, tbh. Hmmmm. As to why these three? Not entirely sure. They were the three I feel that'd I be most ok with swapping around, and they all deal heavily with the GY. Agree on the aggressiveness of my creatures. It's a point that I've been keeping in the...

collective brutality Taking another look at this card for it's escalate cost being valuable. Anybody get cube testing in with this little gem?

The Cryptbreaker angle is a good one that I hadn't considered. It'd maintain a discard outlet while opening up the slot. A little sad that you read my black section that way. I might have to take a look into why it might come across some other way to what I want out of it. As to the cards...

1/24/2013 Nightveil Specter’sBomat Courier's last ability applies to cards exiled with that specific Nightveil SpecterBomat Courier, not any other creature named Nightveil SpecterBomat Courier. You should keep cards exiled by different Nightveil SpectersBomat Couriers separate. That's my take...

That's a pretty close race from my perspective. Probably the Marsh Flitter? More bodies > less bodies? Plays well with incidental gobbos too. I've got a conundrum of my own for black cards, this one two drops. Looking for two out of: heir of falkenrath rotting rats golgari thug The main...

If I wasn't so crotchety and set in my ways, Seeker would definitely be up for breaking singleton. But I haven't made it to that level yet, my major decisions all happen on a very long time scale :P It is a great suggestion though! Just without the proper mindset to listen to it yet.

Scrap heap Scrounger is awesome. Very much looking forward to finding a slot for it. Just gotta be careful that my already strong black doesn't get too many toys. This is the sort of pushed card that tilts me towards Anger of the Gods In my 3 damage sweeper spot

Hypergeometric function is the correct function to use here. At 10 artifacts in a 40 card deck, if you play the crane on curve (one cards drawn on the play), you get 80% success rate. Augur for the same # of instants and sorceries is 68%. 8 artifacts in the deck about matches the probability

#nice. And there's like a ton more! Way more than I thought there'd be (including all five gearhulks).

It allows you to have about 30% fewer of the card type of interest to get the same probability of success. And has flying.

Loving the crane! Was just looking at blue 2 and 1 drops... this seems like it will fit nicely. 6 lines of text is annoying, but I still like it.

Dammit! I almost didn't want the Red Gearhulk to be attractive to me... Now I gotta make another tough decision??? The decision: soul of shandalar

Yeah it isn't ideal. I honestly do wish there was just a straight up deal 3 for 3. Radiant Flames has been able to keep it's spot for now, but it's annoying to have to splash a third color for your on-color red spell just to maximize it. Though maybe "mini-game" is the right phrase? Depends on...

I'm on board with RavebornMuse's suggestion. Here's a switch that's gone through my head a few times in the past Radiant Flames -> Anger of the Gods Converge really isn't my cup of tea in Cube (standard was another story lol). It's just so much mana and reading baggage for what should be a...

yeah, I'd say it's almost entirely because Divination And then when you have something that can synergize with it, like Genesis or Reveilark, or Spider Spawning. It's still purposed as a value spell, but it has more play, is what is being gotten at

Drafted StormEntity's cube. Aaaaah! I died and ascended while drafting this. The Molten Vortex engine deck! Supported with broken singleton! Wowowow. This was a fun draft, and I had a super great time crafting my deck plan. I saw a Molten Vortex along with a loam, decided that I had to Do It...

Hey thanks for the draft! And great insight into what you did/didn't find on your way through the drafting! :D I ended up gushing all about this below, but definitely follow up if I'm not on the right track about where I can make improvements :) My first instinct when I heard about some...

smallpox?

Drafted the Exploratory Sketch, as requested :). Sweet concept! The bounceland manabase is near and dear to me, as I used to run it in my own cube, and I love seeing all the potential here. I particularly like Bouncelands for their ability to reduce non-games by being land advantage (even if...
