Ayli, Jori-En, or Oath of Nissa. Those are the three cards that I'm most interested in and definitely will be cubing in the near future.

Thanks, my cube is pretty high power level, but I've looked to pursue more synergy based strategies and whatnot. The mana is good enough to consistently go 3 colors with many decks, but 2 color pairs offer bigger rewards and more explosive decks if you stick within and read the signals for a...

Nah, as far as I know he didn't get a chance to pull off that line. It was mostly like one dork early in the game to ramp out though that line is definitely one I didn't see when I typed it up. I don't think I've ever seen facedown Rattleclaw in my cube, the dork --> Rattleclaw curve seems...

So we ran a two team draft where we had the 8 drafters alternate between the teams they were on. One team had two 3-0 decks (since we all ended being too hungry to finish another round). These were the lists, and there's a more detailed write-up at my cube thread: Ones 1 Sylvan Safekeeper 1...

Ran an 8-man draft earlier tonight, decided to try a few new things out. First, I used a different method of creating packs from normal to even out the color distribution a bit more. I saw this posted on Reddit a few days ago and it worked out pretty well for us tonight, probably my go-to for...

Fiery and Wretched are cool with actual play to them because all of the modes are actually live in many cubes, Verdant and Righteous aren't interesting enough for me to run (clearly way better in EDH), and Mystic Confluence is a better Cryptic like 90% of the time i.e. ridiculously overpowered.

Rule one of Riptide Lab: nothing is off-topic at Riptide Lab.

Grave and Inferno Titan were ridiculously strong, you're going to want to splash for them in almost every deck you end up constructing because they're such powerful finishers. I cut them both a long while back due to how uninteractive they were. Prime Time is fair and a great payoff target for...

I had Koth for a long while, but he wasn't too exciting. You only want him in one deck, he usually just animates a dude and bashes in before you create your emblem and ping the opponent to death. There just wasn't a whole lot of play to it. I've since gone with Chandra, Pyromaster and Sarkhan...

I don't have a dedicated mill theme so I'll see how it works out. The Eldrazi reset plan is just what I've taken from Sidisi EDH where Ulamog and Kozilek (and Gaea's Blessing) were the reset buttons after self-milling for a zombie army. I think with only old Kozilek in a 420 list it's good...

Looks like we might end up cubing tomorrow, about time I got off my lazy butt and logged the edits that I've made over the last few weeks (mostly tonight): OUT Icefall Regent Force Spike Misdirection Vampire Nighthawk Sidisi, Undead Vizier Doomwake Giant Nekrataal Night's Whisper Devour Flesh...

I'm currently running: Battle Screech Think Twice Chainer's Edict Faithless Looting Firebolt Nightbird's Clutches Reckless Charge Lingering Souls Unburial Rites I love Flashback, it and Cycling are my favorite mechanics to play with. I like how all of these have played and the jury is...

Refereshing take on cube design, love the article and the reasoning behind the changes. It's only a matter of time before 6 Brainstorm and 3 Birthing Pod. I can feel it.

TV is pretty good right now, I watch way more than I should. TV shows, Magic and basketball are my three hobbies that I devote way more of my time to than I should. I guess I'll start with Netflix offerings: Finished Master of None a few weeks ago at the beginning of winter break, it's a...

Yeah, not a fan of Putrid Imp either. It's the kind of card that will be a perennial last pick unless someone is building the reanimator deck. You want cards that can function well outside of one specific archetype or have enough support to make it a non-embarassing mid-pick. It's cool that it's...

Bloodgift Demon is EDH gold, not as great in Cube because dies to removal is very real. You can't afford to wait a whole turn for a payoff once you're that late into most matches, you're looking for a way to finish. I'd definitely go with Nixilis in that matchup, he does a ton of work and your...

I was worried when it was first spoiled and I'm more convinced with each deck I see that Mystic Confluence is just busted to shit. You can bounce their board, Mana Leak + bounce and reset like two turns of work, or just try the one of everything special. Worst case scenario is Jace's Ingenuity...

I've got: Gravecrawler Gravecrawler Carrion Feeder Carrion Feeder Lifebane Zombie Skinrender Sidisi, Undead Vizier Scourge of Nel Toth Curse of Shallow Graves You really don't need a ton of support to make it work, Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler just gets there pretty often in certain matchups.

Lightning Berserker is the only one I would (and do) cube. It's one of the few one-drops that is live as a top-deck late in the game, Dash is a great mechanic to apply pressure without committing to the board, and there are interactions to maximize the recasting of it via Dash (Champion of the...
