I sometimes find myself in a position, where I'm thinking over a certain slot, where I wonder which kind of card could help me filling the gap(s) perfectly, or where I am just looking for something different - but I don't exactly know where to look. So I thought, a thread where you could...

Thanks guys. I guess I will give her a try, could help the dredge decks. But if I find another spell I want I might add that instead and leave blue with two 1-drops.

Has anyone any experience with this nice girl? Dakra Mystic

I have zero experience with both, but if I would see them in a pack, I would be more excited to get ZR than bounty. But both seem sweet, so if you have room go ahead and try both. I also want to give a shoutout to Genesis Wave as an exciting big green ramp card!

Toxic Deluge is much better, one of the best sweepers in the game. Drown is fine, but actually no match when it comes to power level. To answer Grillo and Chris, I have found that not every 1-drop needs to hit for 2 or more a turn. Evasive 1/1s are better than people give them credit for. Dudes...

My inner 6-year old wants this card NOW The adult man tells him to not be stupid, because this card doesn't do much for my cube.

I wouldn't call it oppressive actually. It is a green 5-drop, and I like green having the biggest creatures because the color lacks removal. Ant Queen is quite beefy and impacts the board strongly. If the game goes long enough without her dying, she will win it for you probably. But on the other...

Thanks for the feedback. To the mana base, you might be on the right track. I do have painlands, City of Brass, Mana Confluence and Gemstone Mine as untapped fixers, which makes it possible for aggro decks to get 2 of those relatively easy. I'm playing with the thought of adding more for quite...

Okay, you've proven me wrong, this is clearly an aggro deck. But with few 1-drops which aren't even exactly aggro except the mage maybe and 6 aggressive 2-drops it just looks not really consistent to me. Maybe the quality of some individual cards makes up for this, but this is not the way I...

Another allstar from my cube that hasn't been mentioned here is this one: Ant Queen That thing is a walking pest problem. I like cards like that in green, because they get better the more mana you have, but you don't need to be the big mana deck to play them. When they also produce tokens...

Draftinf Peter's ... I firstpicked a Lilly of the Veil. After that I got some good UB control cards and then a Isochron Scepter. With it I went for more cheap spells and ways to make extra use of them and I wound up with this sweet blue/black control list splashing red with it's great mana...

That's not entirely true. Yes it's bad when you are about to lose. But when you are already winning, you often can do better turn then producing a few 1/1's EoT. It is best in games, that are open. But there are like a 100 ways to beat it beyond countermagic and duress even. You can race the...

I think we just can't agree completly, but that's okay, different opinions make for better discussions. I want to give you 3 points to make my stance clear though. 1.) In my opinion, Savannah Lions is a fun card. Aggro doesn't need 23 super exciting, flashy cards, because the strategy itself...

To be fair, it is far from problematic in a lower powered cube. Most peasant cubes have cut it for not being good enough. And the way this card plays out is pure beauty, like a flower breaking through the ground, a small and slow but inevitable force of nature <3

Krasis gives you guaranteed value and can sometimes be a 2 or even 3 for one. But Lorescale is a must kill creature and it gets really strong with looters and such. Do you prefer GU Tempo or a something like a flash deck, go with krasis imo You prefer midrange and value lists, go with Lorescale...

Either your games play out very differently than mine, in cube and retail limited, or you guys just dislike aggressive decks. Mistral Charger saw play even in powered cubes not long ago. In my lower powered list I'm still running it (as well as Wings of the Guard), and blue getting slightly...

I have a question realted to my cube too. How would you rank those 2-drops? Welkin Tern Gossamer Phantasm Mindshrieker

Glare was soo busted in Ravnica Limited. How does it perform in cube? How much weaker than Opposition is it?

Burning-Tree Emmissary is a really good card. Would you really consider it a true hybrid (playable in either color) or actually more a gold card? Atarka's Command sounds good too, I'd imagine damage+pump ends a lot of games. But if I would include it, my cut would probably be Ghor-Clan...

Gruul offers a lot to do in cube I think. When you support green aggro, Gruul becomes a great aggro pairing. When you support big red and Fireball effects, Gruul becomes a good ramp pairing. You can also do things like wildfire.dec and token strategies. But how do you capture this flexibility in...
