NUJABESSSSSSSSS RIP SO GOOD Here, I should actually post a draft if I'm going to keep posting in here. I'll edit this post in a sec with a draft of Aoret's and a shocking dearth of commentary. http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/517500 Didn't have time to analyze or finish this before I had to...

Congrats! Arena rogue decks are the most fun arena decks to play, so many decisions and lines. It's nice that Valeera is also the best arena hero :P Although that is probably going to change after this expansion... Who knows, man

I am all for escalating this thread to those levels and beyond. I wish I had internet at home (besides on my phone obv) so I could help get it there.

My advice: spend $20 on League of Explorers, buy Blackrock with gold if/when you feel like it, and play a lot of arena and casual. League is seriously head and shoulders above the rest of the games content in terms of both fun and expected value. Every legend is not just "playable" but is...

The control decks that have been successful and memorable in my cube generally have a few things in common: -they play plenty of early drops like Perilous Myr and Omenspeaker -they use a strong advantage engine like Cloudpost + Glimmerpost or Whip of Erebos (or, yknow, a PW) -they have a...

Whirler Rogue is kind of great. She's one of those cards that gives you a decent rate at face value and then synergies with frickin' everything. Tinker? Check. Favorable Winds? Check. Alesha/Lark? Check. Battalion? Check. The list goes on. Also, the unblockability is amazing when paired with any...

Whirler Rogue on the cusp? What kind of environment are we talking about here? That shady lady's a slam dunk in every cube I've ever made, including the broken ones. Re: Howl, try it with Master of the Wild Hunt for maximum value. I kind of prefer the variance of CoCo to be honest because it...

That's rough buddy. I can commiserate. My paladin decks always end up as terrible piles that 0-3.

I've wanted to come up with shard tribrids ever since khans block. Voice of Asha XG Creature - Avatar Flash Voice of Asha enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. When Voice of Asha enters the battlefield, tap each other creature. Those creatures don't untap during their controller's...

I have a bunch of fringe picks for this kind of thing in the made-to-sell graveyard cube I put together recently: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/50907

So Twinshock R Instant "Shocks" 1U, exile this from your GY: "Self Twincast" Yeah, that seems prettttttty good lol. I'd honestly cube it as printed outside a high power environ.

Yeah I think that's right. My editor just wrote a story about a local guy who claims to have wrestled with pretty much all the big names in the pro scene during their early careers. Now he's old and puts on little semi-pro events around the area to raise money for sick kids and stuff. Cool dude.

Actually someone made a simulator of what casting Yogg does to the board, and after ~1000 iterations the caster ended up ahead 78% of the time. Is that good enough to make Legend? I mean, someone will probably do it. By the way, Yogg reminds me of a philosophy from MOBA gaming: "when your team...

Voice is pretty darn low power - in a vacuum. Its power level scales almost 1:1 with what you discard to pay the cost. Examples in spoiler: EDIT: in my current IRL cube you're probably fine if you played Wilds, pass or bluffed a counterspell turn 2, but my cube is all about big dumb plays...

I love basically all the shaman cards, I like-to-love the old gods themselves, and I like the rogue cards. I shouldn't like, but do anyway, that most of the epics (with a couple obvious exceptions) are hot garbage. It seems like the power is concentrated at rare and legendary in this set, which...

Yeah, sorry, that was a glib 3am rant from my cell phone, hence the terrible formatting. I'll concede that a lot of my suggestions are hella pushed, and also that my tone is dangerously close to imperative. Which is not the tone I meant to take! Actually a lot of my faves for multiplying are...

For more powerful riptide cubes (here I use the term to mean "low curve, good fixing, dense synergy" rather than "less powerful than MTGS cubes"), I really like the following cards for singleton breaking: Imposing Sovereign - white aggro is in my mind at its best when it's disruptive first and...

Good stuff! I still have no clue what the format looks like these days, but I guess there's an Eldrazi thing going on? Even without any context, your opening musings on the format were a pleasant and informative read. I also enjoyed your introspection throughout the piece. (Aside: I briefly...

Can't wait to make Reno Rogue a real thing with Thistle Tea. Three Shadowsteps? Don't mind if I do!

I have a cube night report! But I haven't posted a thread for my current cube (and it's a super high power battle cruiser cube anyways so i dare not post it here), so here we go! The format: 2HG team grid draft. To speed up the pregame process we draft three 6x6 grids of spells and one 6x6 grid...
