Painter's Servant This could be a really cool build-around, but the cards it works best with are colour hosers that typically aren't strong or desirable in Cube. Has anyone put it to good use?

Not to pour water on the fire but we've tried a few of these games before and they tend to peter out before completion. It's also quite hard to get everyone to work within the constraints and balance quickly goes out the window; think of how hard it is to balance your own Cube when you have a...

I'd complement As-Fan with looking at some sample packs and thinking about how your drafters might view them. How powerful are your anchor cards in comparison to the average, generically good card in your Cube? Do they have enough obvious power or potential for drafters to take a risk on them...

(don't draft me, keep the order going) Drafted inscho's and conveniently got P1P1 Stairwell so was able to draft this nice proof of concept: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/953820[/url]"] Ones 1 Bloodsoaked Champion 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Dread Wanderer 1 Unearth 1 Viscera Seer Twos 1 Altar Of...

I like the tricky stuff with Pontiff enough to choose it over ZP or similar options. I see Cube as one of the few formats where even more casual players can enjoy a higher level of complexity and - despite the awkward wording - I think Haunt is intuitive once you see it in practice

I like the idea enough that I'll stretch to make it work but if you don't share my tastes it's not inspiring by itself

Catching up on the last few sets for Cube since I can't win at Constructed right now: DOMINARIA: Karn, Scion of Urza: I'm over planeswalkers atm but this one seems inoffensive for one that's so universally playable. I like that you get the subgame of how much work to put into...

It's a great tool for any deck that can empty its hand quickly for whatever reason or just wants to see more cards, especially against slower decks that are good at outgrinding you by playing one big spell a turn. It gives both players perfect information but not in a way that kills the fun or...

There aren't that many payoff cards and most of them are kinda the same (Karlov is flashy but just a big Ajani's Pridemate) and/or not very good. Some of them (Ayli, Archangel of Thune) are strong and don't require lifegain to work, which is often what you want from a card that's intended to...

If you're casting it for 4 or more, neither player is casting a spell again. You're not trying to prolong the game to the point where that card disadvantage matters, you're trying to lock it up immediately

The issue with Wildfire in aggro is that a. getting to 6 mana in any deck with a low-enough curve to be called 'aggro' is necessarily tough unless you have a ton of mana sinks (I try to craft my format so that 'even' the aggro decks can happily play 18+ lands but that isn't/shouldn't be a...

Devastating Dreams is the aggro-Wildfire y'all are looking for #sponsored

I'll accept the risk of identity theft or malware or w/e if it means card images won't automatically link to Masterpieces

I really like this set! Lots of clean, fun designs that aren't tied to parasitic set mechanics which don't have proper support. I hope this is a model for core sets in the future. Interested in at least all of these: Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants Cleansing Nova Militia Bugler Remorseful...

Eater of the Dead is one of those cards that costs $35 because every obscure EDH combo needs it and nothing like it has ever been printed again because they realized it was a bad idea in like 1997

Desecrated Tomb + Eternal Dragon let's gooooo

I tried to make Heroic work for a long time, and I found it required a much larger commitment than I was happy with. It warps the rest of the environment around itself: the easiest way to trigger Heroic is combat tricks and having a bunch of those in your Cube requires that the timing/mana...

Great start to the thread! I'd considered replacing my cycles of lands with tickets: instead of passing Stomping Ground without a second thought as a UW drafter, you can now grab the 'shockland ticket' that you can cash in for Hallowed Fountain instead. I'm not sure how to handle conflicts...

It ends up not being a real cost since you can just put back the off-colour card you had to take that you were never playing anyway
