I think your analysis is spot on! Really, I haven't much to add, except for maybe a few other mentions. scrapheap scrounger This is a new recursive beater, and though it's harder to recur than Bloodsoaked Champion, at 3/2 it's also a bit bigger, plus it's an artifact for the Toolcraft...

Hahaha, that last deck looks hilarious :) You even have the fixing to cycle Resounding Wave!

Haha, well, if you'ld draft my cube IRL, you would have known {g/u} is not supported in this cube. That doesn't mean it isn't possible to draft a {g/u} deck, but it certainly isn't encouraged. It will probably feel something like drafting a {g/u} deck in Return to Ravnica, except that the cards...

One of the design principles I used is 3 cmc rocks into 5 cmc wraths. If you want mana acceleration that's cheaper than 3 mana you better look for green cards. The multicolor nature of the cube makes it naturally slower, and I've found that delaying wraths and midrange creatures by a turn helps...

It's possible I should have played a Geistblast over the Grim Lavamancer. There's a ton of stuff I don't actually want to exile because of Gearhulk and Command, plush some flashback cards, while copying a Command in the late game can be backbreaking! Would have loved to see some more stuff to...

I tried your cube again and had a lot of fun this time! :D I basically wound up in Grixis. I started with a p1p1 Meloku and was looking for ways to make the tokens more meaningful, but the only thing that really crossed my path was the Kolaghan. Luckily I had just played caked up some fixing for...

Drafted StormEntity's cube! Pick one I decided to go with Vengevine. I don't know that it's the best card, but I run or have ran most of the other cards in one of my cubes, but not Vengevine! I'm always curious where new cards will lead me (even though I know, in this case, that it's a...

Karlov scares me a bit, doesn't he grow to a 6/6 too quickly?

Dang! Inspire is awesome with vehicles! Why did no one alert me to that?

Ah, that explains. I'm a deckbuilder at heart, but a lot of the card are indeed simply "good stuff", autoincludes if you will. That leaves only a marginal amount of cards to tweak with. I do delirium is a possibility for the Soul Swallower, though I would have loved it if I had picked up some...

Drafted Sigh's cube: First picked the Soul Swallower because I was curious if I could make delirium work. Second picked an Ohran Viper, then third picked a Grapple with the Past. Nice! Then never saw another delirium card again. Turns out there's hardly a delirium card in the cube, which...

:D It's silly maybe, but if it works, it works! I've been thinking of ways to make my boosters feel less land-heavy for a while now, because it is a concern that I would like to adress, but I don't want my players to be unable to play their cards. Fixing is a very important part of cube drafts...

Eh, a rider may be needed, but I don't mind that you have to work for it a bit. It's been pretty good in testing, as it often allows you to fix the shortcomings of your own deck. Oooooh! I just thought of a rider! Is that mean enough? :rolleyes:

Yep, Khans of Alara. My opponent thoroughly killed me with it one time, but that might also have something to do with the Scuttling Doom Engine in his hand and the Feldon of the Third Path on his side of the battlefield :)

Well, you get to beat them with their own bombs, that's {1} extra for its demoralizing powers right there! ;)

I love Magus of the Wheel. The best thing is you can activate him in your opponent's end step, so you get to cast the fresh hand first.

Yeah, X in the casting cost without an X in the text box can be confusing as well. I do think it's slightly clearer though :) As for the life gain, I was trying to get some {G} in there, but I guess the regeneration already is {G} enough! I simply dropped the life gain, and it still looks...

Also, a custom card to tie together RUG as the energy shard in my cube. "Incidentally" it also works nicely with ferocious and Wildfire! A pretty straightforward but hard to kill threat.

You could probably word it like this? Ritual of Y'less {X}{U}{B} Converge — Draw cards equal to the number of colors of mana spent to cast Ritual of Y'less. You lose that much life.

Haha, you remembered that guy?! Funnily enough, he was not one of the drafters who complained. Anyway, I'm going to see If I can add another three-color card to each shard. That's probably going to involve more customs though.
