A Cube that has to worry about 5C goodstuff piles is going to end up with a lot of 2C and maybe 3C goodstuff piles instead. That's a product of the spells in the Cube, not the fixing.

Updates! Top 4ed another Team Open in February with the best decks in each format back then (Reclamation, Inverter, Amulet) Starting writing biweekly for SCG Then earlier this week I won an online PTQ with my baby boy: Ones 4 Llanowar Elves 4 Elvish Mystic 4 Hardened Scales Twos 4...

Fire Covenant

I've been building entire red sections around Faithless Looting and friends for the past year and this is completely unbelievable with all of those. Or how about: FirestormDevastating DreamsWheel of Fortune

Is Thraben Inspector really "above the curve"?

I guess we all have more time for writing now BUILDING BLACK AGGRO Back in the day Cube owners would constantly wonder how to address the problem with black - the black aggro decks seemed weaker than their Boros counterparts, the tools weren’t there for black control, and the go-to combo...

- Atraxa does seem like a pipe dream without more fixing. I'd hoped Breya would feature in more artifact decks; I wonder if CubeTutor/CubeCobra's AI gobbles up fixing indiscriminately? - Scrying Sheets might be a good call actually - UR Spells isn't explicitly pushed but there's a tension...

This isn't tied to COVID but that certainly gives me time to think about it: Cube brings out the worst part of my perfectionist streak since there's no structure or defined goal to building a Cube and it's easy to burn down the whole house and start over if my latest sketch even just looks like...

These three threads give some answers to the last question Archetypes I like in WG: +1/+1 Counters: Green is always the core for this deck but white is the best supporting colour as it offers the best mass pump in Mikaeus, the Lunarch and Gavony Township as well as all of the Ajanis, Citadel...

Storm's WrathHour of Devastation

I LOVE Deathmist Raptor but it's the perfect example of a card that's strong with only a handful of specific cards making it hard to do anything with reliably. You can't set up these format-defining Den Protector + Raptor chains when you only have one of each

Rimestag is a lot cleaner and doesn't mislead drafters into looking for an energy subtheme (Cub can be a self-contained threat so it suggests it less but it's still a natural thing to expect)

Everything I said about Yawgmoth would apply without the proliferate text, that's just a bonus

I'd say Yawgmoth (at its peak) >> Rankle ~= Nightpack Ambusher >>>>>>> the rest. My Cube is fairly high-power compared to some here and Yawgmoth is borderline too strong because it's just SO good in the right deck

Uploaded the big master list I'm working from here: https://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/162891 https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/8hv (CubeTutor AI seems better for now so draft there I guess?) I'd appreciate any feedback or test drafts!

I'll write this up in my thread at some point but the lands matter question comes down to whether you want your decks to care about specific utility/build-around lands or just having a bunch of lands to shuffle between zones. If you care about certain lands you can dig for them quite...

I'm going to be scaling back on a lot of the narrower artifacts and 'artifacts matter' cards as I found they were harder to make work than I hoped. Scrap Trawler is one of my favourite cards of all time but it never came together in practice. Even my beloved Goblin Welder has been more demanding...

I definitely assumed Satyr tribal when it was previewed!

This sounds really fun! No idea how realistic it will be for me to attend but I'd love to if I can

I've warmed to Arcanist's Owl as a thicc Glint-Nest Crane that also turbo-charges devotion for either Thassa and Master of Waves
