    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Are the three colors in that cube Black, Green and White? :P

    Aikola's Budget Cube

    Here's my thoughts on lotus petal: I think what you want is something more along the lines of dark ritual. Accellerating out sweet plays is a great feeling, but you're certainly right in that sol ring does things a little too well for people to be having fun. Jumping the curve by one isn't...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    The Chris Taylor Special :D Unfortunately much like steppe lynx would be horrible with +1/+1 as a landfall trigger, I've found the C 1/1 prowess to be a bit weak. You can't guarantee a spell per turn, (or if you are this is your only threat) so usually he ends up being a 1.5/1.5, which isn't...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    My drafters threatened to put my head on a pike if I added it, and I was kinda lukewarm on it anyways. I'm all for making black removal a little less easy to slide into a blue/white control deck, but a 2cc twinstrike is a bit much. I do wanna say the reason I added a second baneslayer was...

    Card/Deck Creature Cloning/Stealing Variants

    Ray of command really did fill the whole I had when I felt my cube needed 1.5 control magics. I figure as a one off, it's not stepping on red's toes so much, especially since it usually plays so differently. I kinda wish it worked the way it used to though, where it returns the creature to...

    Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

    You can make this a little more paletable by making some of the rocks 3CC or higher. Control decks don't really want much outside signets because their turn 4 is important, but wildfire decks are fine with something like vessel of endless rest. They deserve better, which is why mine are custom...

    I don't like aven marshal. He's probably fair, but I don't like him. He feels a little control specific and too strong in control decks. What's your goal with this creature? I like lion explorer, though I'll admit he probably needs to be re-flavored :P Repeated scry is a great reward for this...

    Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

    I'm not so sure. Red Humans we agree on. I feel that the red sacrifice support typically goes more aggro than you're letting on: Mogg war marshal is one thing, but the other red sacrifice cards that come to mind feel very agressive to me: Goblin Bombardment, Chandra's Phoenix, Goblin...

    General Opalescence emblem cube (brainstorming)

    I worry about the second one more. could be very hard to stabilize.

    Can someone post a text spoiler of those 4 cards? Work is blocking whatever image site you used

    Card/Deck Creature Cloning/Stealing Variants

    It's very much a product of it's enviornment. It is a horribly context dependant 5 drop after all. Lucas proved to me many a time sometimes you get dross like phantom centaur and lose on the next attack steap FWIW: Ritual of the Machine is sweet, but I'm not sure it's an effect black needs...

    Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

    Everflowing chalice is shit if you only every play rocks on T2, and never proliferate anything. I do also have 2 prismatic lens as well though. Aggro Aggro Fuck artifacts matter, UB Tezzeret is about the only fun artifact based card I've ever seen Aggro Aggro (Or durdley Ion Storm variants)...

    General CBS

    Yeah I forgot how much I liked talking with you guys about shit. My cube hasn't updated in a while, and I've been pretty off magic since warlords of draenor came out, but this is still good shit

    General Campaign Format

    A decent idea would be to check out magic: the rug. Someone on scg did an article about the a ways back, (knusleson?) and it's pretty sweet. You buy access to cards, life, starting hand size, deck size, and perks! Cool stuff from all my guys have first strike to this spell costs 1 less for me...

    Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

    I'm not dropping rocks all together because of wildfire, but I'm loving the all colourless rocks . needing WW ffor a turn 3 wrath really seems to be making it hard enough without being impossible

    Better than sylvan. Way less complicated and cheaper for basically the same effect
