There's no shame in proxying stuff!

Have lots of thoughts that I'm too scatterbrained to write at up atm, but here's a draft of a list I'm working on: http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/68445

I have a LOT of ways to make this a 1-mana 4/4...

Champion is also the first ETB looter that isn't embarrassing or conditional AFAICT

Inspired by someone suggesting Organ Harvest, which has apparently never been mentioned here before, how about using tokens as a bridge to a super-ramp archetype? Organ HarvestCryptolith RiteFood Chain The idea is that you play out your things early and build towards one big turn where you...

This seems like a case where it's hard to make a useful suggestion. Fracture is the obviously better card but is that the right cost for that effect at your power level?

Avenger is great and I already have it pencilled in for most lists I build. Its quality scaling with the length of the game is really useful in this context and I'd love more suggestions like that; Aetherling is another that comes to mind.

Which expensive finishers do you all recommend? They need to hit the sweet spot of being good enough to justify putting the effort in but not oppressively good if reanimated etc. ahead of schedule.

Claim // Fame is beautiful! Obstructionist is cool but tbh I'm mostly excited to see that cycling is still in the set (hopefully at lower rarities too)

I love the idea of Oath but I find my Cube(s) becoming more and more creature-centric in a way that boxes out the spell-heavy decks, especially in green: there's always a random Coiling Oracle/Wall of Blossoms or Sylvan Advocate or something. I worry that it's just going to rot in packs and...

Drafted a few decks and they look really fun. One thing that stood out across multiple drafts is a shortage of big things to Weld into; Trike and Grim Poppet are fine but outclassed by each colour's best finishers, and Platinum Angel is very all-or-nothing. I'm not sure what I'd recommend...

In town for GP Amsterdam, anyone have recommendations?

I see Flayer as much more flexible than Troll. The controlling delirium decks in Standard ran Flayer anyway as a threat that's good early and late as well as stitching all of your other synergies together.

Nobody has shown yet that Thoughtseize taking your best card in a subpar draw creates any more non-games or negative variance than Bolt killing your T1 Birds in a mana-light draw or Mana Leak countering your one threat that you spent your whole turn to play. Those are effects that AFAIK...

Random brainstorming: Kolaghan's CommandSoul ManipulationGrim DiscoveryRise // Fall I've liked using these to give black a role in spell-heavy URx decks by recurring creatures that recur spells - Goblin Dark-Dwellers, Snapcaster, Jace VP, Torrential Gearhulk, Mnemonic Wall. With cycling they...

The original Modern Masters was beloved by a lot of the Spikiest pros and you could build a Cube modelled on that set that doesn't have to serve any other masters (e.g. making Blood Moon/Chalice of the Void 'more affordable' for Modern). A thoughtfully designed Pauper/Peasant Cube has a lot of...

One of my oldest memories of Riptide Lab is Jason making fun of me for loving Magus of the Tabernacle I'd have thought the information is most useful in Cube; in Constructed you usually know the rough contents of someone's deck after the first few turns and you know which cards are likely to...

I've also found Tog to be lackluster unless you deliberately support it but the Upheaval thing also works before then: cast it when you have 6 mana, make the first land drop, then when you play Tog it's basically The Abyss. I want to put in a good word for the Masticores but the heads-up...

I love Restore Balance (it's one of the decks I want to try for GP Copenhagen), you're a hero
