    The Riptidening—Building my Cube from scratch

    I try to do a very similar thing with my cube in terms of spreading themes throughout all five colors. It depends on how broad the theme is, but generally I try to have a theme centered on one or two colors, and then I stagger the support in different amounts down to as many other colors as...

    I read this in the "I like turtles" voice.

    Card/Deck she wants the d(iscard suite)

    This is exactly what I like about the card.

    I've been very happy with Massacre Wurm, Kokusho, and Mikaeus. Mikaeus & Triskelion, ping everything infinitely.

    Chain of Smog could be interesting?

    He makes a few fair points, but some of his arguments were pretty shaky. In particular, his complaint about Devoid: "It's unclear which one of those 'comes first' and which one tries to tie everything together." I thought it was pretty clear that both Devoid and exiling are associated with...

    Hearthstone seems to love those sort of effects. I'm sure Haunted Creeper would be pretty rad if we ported it over. Edit: The "insert image" function doesn't seem to be working. Here's my take on the mtg version. Haunted Creeper {1}{g} Creature - Spider Reach When Haunted Creeper dies...

    Card/Deck Restrictive Reanimation (or, tell me about awesome 2-drops)

    I want to add Unearth to my cube just so I can Intuition for that group of three. BTW, both Intuition and Gifts Ungiven seem worth mentioning in this thread. They would be nice support for a UW or UB tempo-aggro deck with recursion themes like these. 2Shieldz Jackson and Gravecrawler love it...

    Drana being a prime target doesn't immediately equate to a bad thing. Looking at my own cube, let's see how hard it is for her to connect on curve. By turn three, Drana can be dealt with 1-to-1 using the following: Condemn Swords to Plowshares Unexpectedly Absent Oblivion Ring Tragic Slip...

    Kirblinx, did you build those decks from your cube? If so, I want to play your cube.

    I'd rather run Chimeric Mass if I wanted an effect like Endless One. It's an artifact, dodges wraths, can be tutored for with Trinket Mage, can be played for zero as welding fodder, etc. Re: vanilla stuff, or "filler", for my cube I think having some amount is beneficial. I try to keep them...

    A few more options in blue: Wash out aetherize aetherspouts Propaganda and Ghostly Prison are both pretty fair strategies for dealing with tokens.

    I think we're approaching a high enough volume of content that some unfortunate MTGS'ers could never suspect it was fraudulent.

    Perhaps customize Harvest Wurm and strikethrough "basic."

    If you're willing to try squadroning cards, Arachnus Spinner with a squad of two Arachnus Webs is one of my favorite green 6-drops. It creates an interesting little mini-game of how and when to use the webs.
