Varolz is sweet too. But better together!!

wednesday update (i can't for the life of me figure out why my count is a card off and it's really annoying me): in (15): serra avenger, rot farm skeleton, sewer nemesis, slumbering dragon, firefist striker, varolz, elderscale wurm, hoof, gloomdrifter, death’s shadow, ranger of eos, grand...

which ones? i guess i'm more concerned with the ones that are if not 'auto-first picks' then at least tower above the others in power. i'd be inclined to move those ones back to the main cube, but first we'll have to see how it goes!

it [loam pox] is pretty good, eating everyone's resources is not a bad way to win in a slower format with slower combo decks and control decks that love their mana. if you can stand losing to the random elephant surprise edit: i support storm, storm zoo, dom's in between thing, and pyromancer...

Overall? Garruk "O.G." Wildspeaker In Cube specifically? Garruk "O.G." Wildspeaker For Constructs? Martyr of Sands For Limited? Coiling Oracle What's your favorite Cube Archetype to draft? Zoo

thanks again for the thorough explanation! i think i'm gonna keep all the dedicated fixing lands in the cube for next week, but the theory behind your idea is very convincing indeed. more 'focused' drafters (like last time's gw little kid) often end up wasting picks, so that might alleviate...

right, i could see cutting it from my cube but nah. again, shelldock makes cube better. another way of putting it is that in a 405-card cube there are possibly 405 cards that are cooler than shelldock (though i don't think this is true), but there sure as hell aren't 720 cards that are cooler.

ahhh ok. radical. (man i was thinking the new rgd block would make way more sense drafted rgd and not dgr, guess ill have to find out tonight!) but this makes me like your idea even more, maybe hybridize what both jason and i were talking about.

mike flores comes to mind hey, good thing one of our other good local writers penned hatchet jobs on both of them: http://killingagoldfish.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-grinder-brad-nelson-story-by-rich.html http://killingagoldfish.blogspot.com/2012/11/review-official-misers-guide-omg-by.html...

haha, yeah. modern jund always splashes white now for ajani v., lingering souls, path etc. so adding some white sources for lifegain elephant and battlemage is a funny riff on that. it's a little audacious to hope to cast bad elspeth too.

"Unless you really do think I'm going to write an article about internet dating." haha, the alyssa bereznak vs finkel ship has sailed. and your jokes were great. i failed to get them. but i won't next time!!! you got my wc engine joke, see, you win that round too. midrange modern is so...

i actually like this, if i'm understanding it correctly the utility land draft is the same idea? we're also mixing it with jason's proposed idea of 'archetype anchors', in limited your examples of furnace celebration or spider spawning or burning vengeance are great ones, and then for cube you...

real quick: i love both heroes i love rampy baloths populating a 7/1 elemental sounds like the greatest, im gna share that with my community thread

yep, only a few of my friends brew comp-con decks (mainly it's tweaking, even for me -- i've been playing martyr in modern forever) so ping me if you want to rap. to give you an idea of what we do: -i made the martyr deck myself (on a friend's recommendation, based on an old idea of mine) -a...

interesting tales here. i got into cube due not to the cost of constructed but rather that of limited. we used to convene here every week to draft old sets. rav boxes were $150. boosters of gpt, dis, arb were $3 a pop. i love old sets and my love for the game's history and history of design...

I like it, seems like a way to deal with the power level range. Obviously Gavony is a million times better than Eiganjo Castle. At what point is a land better off in the main Cube? should such lands be cut from the main cube? a cube without a wasteland or a gavony sounds like a sadder cube that week

ah i see, those decks need shelldock. in my cube it is merely kind of obscene. cube is fun with shelldock. justice and love are both blind; someone draw a picture of the modo cube architect throwing darts and skewering the shelldock rip shelldock, windbrisk lives on (worse in cube but better...

it's a bummer, cedric is pretty smart and he's devoted to the game and could be an admirable emissary, if he didn't also personify a lot of the things wrong with the mtg culture. i'm more comfortable blaming wizards for shaping the culture of the game so poorly than blaming cedric for falling...
