i think you need to have a pretty strong graveyard theme, but i also think you need to have a pretty strong graveyard theme

right, i remember those fixers from the article. i still think you should consider the man-lands in the main cube. they're modern staples (well, minus reaches) i didn't consider grand coliseum and undiscovered paradise because i think they're too bad (though the latter, with landfall theme ...

yep, falkenrath aristocrat + mark of mutiny is all kinds of delightful. it's a coup de grace to take a keiga but i think 'bagging the madam' is reserved for stealing and sac'ing a reveillark

i wonder what it'd be like to do a cube team-draft? 5-pack 60-card was so good edit: oh yeah the demars thing is great. of course i like him due to my healthy narcissism. i like all people due to my healthy narcissism. you guys are great. you help me be more awesome. i hope i help you be more...

you could do EVE filters or something -- enemy-color fixing loves help. i'm actually certain that vivids are the wrong direction to take. control decks already have ludicrously good mana. the cycle must come into play untapped i've been a proponent of fixing as a means of effectively lowering...

the nice thing about inertia is that it works for good ideas too! why not include the WWK manlands in the main? they're just so good, everyone wants them -- they're worth a pick, as they never go begging how many fixing lands are you running in the main? i've topped out at 71/405 i think a...

come to think of it: the restricted list is the same thing as enforcing singleton. i wonder why i didn't realize that before? something uniting cube and edh, unfortunately. i'm sure jason is right about this: with the way the good decks assemble restricted combos with ease through playsets of...

oh yeah, vintage highlander control. no doubt most cubes err on the side of questions > answers. you can see the violent backlash in the modo cube where they cover up their excrementitious design with 3948673498 sweepers or what have you. this doesn't mean that control is bad -- what i'm...

good ol gravecrawler griselbrand joke, one of my favorite things you guys have said!

how about vintage in the mold of brian demars' recent article? http://www.starcitygames.com/article/26163_On-Vintage.html i strongly agree with the vintage statement. as repellent as i find max mccall's public persona...

so i was just having another stupid pointless fb argument about cube when it occurred to me -- i have NO IDEA how a power cube works, and i was wondering if anyone here has tried to design one based on the stuff we've got here. i guess it might be a contradiction in terms due to hatred of 'power...

where are thoughtseize and hierarch? the latter is more concerning since how the hell are you gonna print a bant card with exalted in anything other than a supplemental set -- if thoughtseize isn't here i'd guess it'd be in theros

yeah those RGD cards aren't nearly powerful enough. skarrg is by far the best, maybe then vitu-ghazi - even svogthos isn't close to being worth considering even with a strong graveyard theme. rix maadi in reanimator?! i think of it like this: in standard, a deck like junk rites often plays 0...

hmmm, i guess this is how limited often is though mid-range in constructed seems more like a recent phenomenon. anyone else have this experience (with their cube or anyone else's)? we could be onto something here

did a bit more upheaving; added three wastelands to the main cube, cut tec edge, used the two slots freed up for expedition map and mystifying maze (the only maze worth having). i don't have any of the ISD lands in my main cube, though don't i have all of them except the trashy RB, GB, UG?

webster is legit

right or the legacy roshambo viz. combo > aggro > control. i'm struggling to figure out why the midrange decks are so sensitive to amount of sweepers and little else and the best analogue i can come up with is the current standard, where the mid-rangiest deck of all time, junk rites gets crushed...

Yeah, I guess it's kind of like how Modern Jund will run Jund Charm or sometimes Firespout or Junk with Zealous Persecution or Melira Pod with Orzhov Pontiff. I'd like my mid-range decks to function more like your guys', but even a deck loaded with Finks, Huntmaster, Bit Blast, and a few others...
