Yeah, i'm coming around to a similar school of thought that blink is fine as a "themeless theme" rather than something we actually push. So here's the question, for someone with a big blink package who wants to cut back, what are some nice pushable themes in UW/Bant? PS, i have been finding...

That's a hard problem to diagnose. Did the 2-color players want to be in two colors? Were they simply drafting reactively? Or were they going for 3 at first? Might be something to ask them. I personally almost always go for two colors to start, because i like being able to spend almost the...

The recursive dragon is pretty cool. I hear people saying he's the Legacy plant, butttt two creatures is a lot to sac. Maybe i'm underestimating the token-making capabilities of Legacy dudes, though. Srsly tho, the confluences are such huge game. Except the green one.

What's a snake draft? My cube has about 80-90 lands, counting duals, so I divvy them into 15-card packs and draft 'em like a normal pack.

Well, I mean, 2-color decks don't really need non-basics as much? I recommend an All-Land Draft, personally. It definitely has pros and cons, but one pro is it's simpler than a ULD.

Yeah there's a charm cube around. It's basically exactly what I'm dreaming of.

Great post! This is one of those themes I think myself and a lot of people already run without really thinking about it. But looking at recursion from the standpoint, "What do I want to be getting back with this?" is a good perspective, especially for a drafter. Also, I think a more in-your-face...

On that note I really need to finish my CT list for a proof-of-concept Modal Cube. Cycling, Kicker and friends, X costs, Scry, bulleted lists, cantrips everywhere. You'll never use more Advil while playing Cube.

Yay modality! I think that modal spells, whether they literally have a list of modes or are modal along the mana curve like Cyclonic Rift and Endless One, are one of the best things a Cube designer can prioritize at the individual-card-slot level. They're versatile without feeling generic, they...

Well, I won't get started on the series, but the resource system is thus: At the beginning of each turn, somewhere around "untap" and "upkeep," both players secretly select a "Plot Card." Muwahaha! This Plot not only gives you a powerful special effect for that turn (ranging from stuff sort of...

That's a really sweet selection of decks! Doesn't sound problematic to me.

Ahadabans, I'd suggest Dread Return or Consuming Vapors as your cut for the confluence. (I hope I'm looking at the right CT list.) More modal spells is more better!

Welp, I guess I'm running every confluence except the green one. Not a bad spoiler season for us Cubers :D Oh my gosh these reprints are great, by the way! I think in addition to the confluences, I'm gonna try Daxos's Torment, Scourge of Nel Toth, Magus of the Wheel (darn it red 3-drops!)...

...I run Devastating Summons... Haven't been able to test it yet though

I was running Dismiss as a budget cryptic, so my cut for mystic bombfluence is pretty easy.

So, p1p1, whats your pick from that pack? Bonus: p1p3, lantern and helm are gone, now what's your pick?

I feel so much better now about never buying Cryptic Command. Muwehehehe

I know the card advantage is swell but isnt aetherling just better than consphinx?

That info makes it sound way better than i expected. I expected isamaru, but still.

Good list but Upheaval is gonna be a pet card of mine 5ever
