Either counter or outrace as you mention. Or discard. Or force shuffle.

I would say you are pretty well-prepared for the outcome with that analysis and you seem to know your cube really, really well! I like the card but it kinda has to go into Azorius, Selesnya, Orzhov or any of the Shards/Khans that combine white with either blue or black and that seems like a...

There are several ways to build around this card but it's one of those cards that you can draft, pick up some more support cards for during the draft, hope to be able to build around it and still end on excluding it to the sideboard because you didn't get enough support cards. It's the ultimate...

Sorry for not card-tagging. (EDIT: I just saw you wanted 1-drops. You can ignore all of the following. My bad!) I would consider: Angel of Invention Angel of Sanctions Glory-Bound Initiate Cast Out Fumigate New art for: Aven Mindcensor Wrath of God And one of my favorit build-around cards...

For me black discard is in my cube for two reasons: 1. It's great support if you're doing something cheesy like reanimator. 2. Giving black something unique. I run premium discard effects but at a low density.

There are some really great ideas here! King of the Hill with Supplement Deck Building, Gold Mine, Rocket League, eating food.. Suggestion for Gold Mine: Maybe let the Coins become Treasure tokens for cool visual effect and the players actually gain access to an in-game reward in the form of...

I am constantly considering cutting Needle. I always keep it in because I have some artifact support. Trinket Mage among others however I wouldn't want to add 1 converted mana cost to it. Are you heavy on the artifact theme?

That sounds perfect! Do not want degenerate, do not want game-breaking. However having the ability to sometimes shine and turn games around with a decent floor sounds attractive. Thank you guys.

Thank you for your input. I guess my question was not very well formulated but you answered it perfectly still. Lake has always been a swing-or-miss card that most often is on the broken side of the scale. Same goes for Necro. And both Messenger and Obliterator is far beyond fair in the right...

Wait! Sorry for interruption the vivid Freebooter-discussion but I have a quick question. Does this work for anyone?

I agree! Interesting. I do the same with my cube (maybe not as much as you do?) but I have also cut most colorless ramp from the cube in order to make ramping a 'almost only green thing'. I am going to take a look at your blog if you don't mind :)

You might be correct but I remember reading a study ten years ago where there were only 4 colors/races and it was a bit of trouble for the designer because too many people wanted the same colors of cards. He described the design of the game much like a 5/6 player draft. I guess I could test it...

Well I agree that it feels wrong to reduce the number of colors because Magic has always been 5 colors. But now Magic is 6 colors and some people only have 5 in their Cube. Just wanted to point that out even though I'm also NOT cutting white ;) It was just an idea I wanted to share with you...

Funny. I experienced exactly the same a few months back. I came here to help you but I guess I was two days too slow and you recovered your cards before then :)

I have, for some years, been thinking about completely cutting white from my cube leaving it with 4 colors, 6 Guilds and 4 Shards. This would lead to people fighting over the same colors a little bit more and people playing mono colors more often. I am still in the process of writing that...

Go further back 2 years to the days of 'Comes into play' to really freak them/us out!

How has the cards performed for you?

You know what, I should write an article about my cube :) Stay tuned. Am I allowed to make an entire new thread dedicated fully to my cube?

There are hundreds of ways to reduce the amount of non-games. Choosing the right or wrong ones for your cube is also part of the fun we have when we create a cube. I do not believe basic land cycling is the only way to make sure there's much less non-games. So again: I guess it depends on...

I do not agree. Even though it looks like many people do. Each color has its strengths and weaknesses. Wizards usually do not include color-fixing in non-green colors in sets unless: 1. It is a multicolor block. 2. It is on a rare cycle To me it feels wrong to have land fixing on non-green...
