    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    I didn't have it for long. Usually each draft deck had 3-4 fetches, 0-1 fetchables :( usually 2 color, the odd 3rd color card on the splash.

    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    At one point my cube had triple fetch, shock and dual, and it felt akward going and getting basics so often. One of the things I love about fetches is that they're less locked into their color pair, since arid mesa is fine in UW for eg

    So we had mind stone, then Triple Mind Stone, now double mind stone? Eh, sure.

    Actually, Marath might be good. I like the scaling of his ability, dealing damage is cool, and making bodies is cool. Hmmmm. Worst case I can make some weird slave of bolas style hybrid thing that's essentially him :P

    Iunno, the scan is so poor it could be a 6/3 It'd be weird as hell, but hey.

    I seem to remember smaller deathbringer thoctar probably ruining games Also I should mention not having a tap symbol on Not Javalineers is key. being able to do 2 or attack then ping goes a long way

    Card/Deck Graveyard hate

    This might be a symptom of me not playing reanimator, the value I expect from cremate is pretty low: stopping a gravecrawler from coming back, or countering half of lingering souls. Typically not something I'd devote a whole card in my cube that does little else to

    Okay something is hella wrong with my post. Can someone confirm you get a 4/3 Avatar if your T1 play is experiment one? I don't think so, since he's using the same wording clone does, but I thought I'd check. I think Inspiring Call is a bit too dependent on you already winning to be good though.

    I dunno, I always found Genesis too slow and Stopping Half a lingering souls to be not worth the effort No, but even if the color was switched, would you play Reach Through Mists?

    Alright, so I drafted this deck last night, came away with a few thoughts: I'll just get the custom stuff out of the way quickly Not Quite Icatian Javelineers: This guy worked nicely. Mogg Fanatic isn't really good enough for cube anymore, but adding counters to this guy with Citadel Siege...

    Oh man I totally forgot about prison term! Love that card Terminus I've found less success with, though I have a mere 4 brainstorms (450)

    Okay, we complain when brainstorm is just "Draw a card", but you wanna do this? I prefer these: Pillar of Flame Hallowed Burial Oblivion Ring Path to Exile Hinder If your graveyard themes are intrusive but don't involve the offending card being in play to be dealt with, maybe change is...

    Well, it wins games. I know a lot of people who design their cubes by adding in cards that win games

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    1) Probably not. There's something to be said about making your lategame better, but I don't think faithless looting would be the way I'd do it. Sucks that your only other zombie is Curse of Shallow Graves, but what can you do 2) I'd board it in, certainly 3) I'm partial to incinerate, since...
