    Sigh, a Cube

    That's what the number in paratheses is for, yes. I added only one each time. Beyond lands that worked out, the majority of the rest of the sources came from rampant growth effects. I only run like 4 or 5 mana rocks that produce {c}, so it came down to lands a lot. I think you are spot on that...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    What do we think about this little piece? I was looking at Gnaw to the bone and asking myself "gee, I wonder if there's a white card kinda like this." Actually seems pretty decent! Also, link back to the discussion on lashknife barrier embolden

    Sigh, a Cube

    Just did an interesting thought experiment with a random sampling of the decks I've drafted on here so far: How many colorless sources did I happen to support without even trying, if I were to want a {c} creature? RUG mess: 4 sources (5 w/ 1 waste) Jund control: 3 (4) Bant value: 1.5 :oops...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've found that Narset is actually better with token makers/as a splash in a GW deck of that nature. Stuff like: beast attack spectral procession talrand's invocation advent of the wurm battle screech

    It's the sorta deck... you just gotta go off, ya know? Time Warp + narset transcendent + regrowth + mystic retrieval + talrand, sky summoner

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    Basically all of this is perfectly valid. Fun thing about MtG is how varied the play styles and approaches are. Even simple switches inside cards that exist can cut down on splashing. The removal example is actually a perfectly fine trade from price to grasp. As my post touched on, I agree...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    I really like Factories. It's short, easy and fluid to say, and harks back to the creature land. Regarding lands: Floating Vein does seem wicked good, most likely too good. I know there's some set up, but the ceiling is too damn high. It could put a cost reduction on the next instant/sorcery...

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    I guess the first question I have is, is there a drawback to "crazy mana enablement"? What exactly is wrong with a UWgb control deck, or whatever? If the splashes are synergistic and meaningful, I don't see the harm. Moving to the main body of question, I think the large numbers of fetches in...

    Sigh, a Cube

    First Update! Drafting through a buncha times last night, I came across some cards that aren't doin' mucha anything. So, my first little changelog :) . This dood too big. And not an artifact. And kinda stronk if you do manage to land it. soo. kozilek, butcher of truth --> scuttling doom...

    Sigh, a Cube

    Thanks for the reply Alfonzo! Sadly, I'm not sure I've seen exert influence in action yet. It's been a newer addition. Potentially what control magic will be, if that leaves. perilous research has been absolutely excellent. It allows the sacrifice deck to get into U, blanks removal, and can just...

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    I think this is a fine assessment. In Theros they really just wanted to show of Constellation. Constellation is awesome. But they had to fill all this fluff in, and design so many cards! It's really a crying shame. The natural segue from Bestow/Heroic to Constellation would have been stellar...

    Sigh, a Cube

    Finally got around to posting up a list, after a couple months of doodling around on here. My master list is stored in an Excel Sheet I meticulously built, but CubeTutor is as nice a place as any to show the list off. Alright, let's see here.... My Cube list in all it's glory The Cube as a...

    That's still in the works :). Finally getting around to CT'ing it ASAP.

    Alphez's first Cube! Suggestions are very welcome :)

    I think you'll find that it supports itself! You have Triskelion Battleball, and Duplicant. These are perfect bombs, which can be traded in for things like you Perilous Myr, epochrasite, or the like. It actually takes a very low density of artifacts to make Daretti just work incidentally. And it...

    Alphez's first Cube! Suggestions are very welcome :)

    You could go for tormenting voice or Magus of the Wheel, but I'd strongly recommend rethinking good ol' looting. It's a graveyard filler you can activate from the 'yard! Another card I really love in red, that fits both as an aggressive reach tool and a control piece is molten vortex. Sweet...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Alright. FOr real this time. I did some math and everything: Runner's Bane Like the post just a few up where I astonish myself over Ulcerate and Co., this littel beauty hits 164 targets in my cube (tokens included), which ends up being over 86%. Eighty Six Percent. That's almost good enough for...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    That... is a bit of a downer. I'm not sure I've ever seen a cube game with zero creatures on the table for an extended period of time. But yeah... bummer. I guess it also doesn't really hold a candle to it's cousin's either. I mean, Mystic Snake? Absorb? Damn shame, if you ask me.

    Card/Deck Counterspells

    I'm at 14 out of 415, if you count judges familiar. An equal density for me would be 16. Some that'd I'd consider adding to my ranks: prohibit and memory lapse or remove soul EDIT: I love me some dissolve, Ferret. I think I have a stack of 15 or so somewhere. cool card.

    vitalize seems very combo-rific, in a elf-ball sort of way. I was looking through spells that deal 3 damage and happened upon this gem. Actually...... not that bad? suffocating blast
