    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Okay okay here's a mesmeric fiend for you: X(b/w) Creature-whatever tribe YOU push This enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. "The same rules text as mesmeric fiend" 0/0 I may be wrong but i'm thinking at x=0 that's a castigate? If that's too good, we could totally restrict the...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I also like the enchantment. Land-untapping is a really sweet effect. In re: my friggin' sweet entomb card, i read a post in cube lists where FSR was lamenting the lack of a good w/b hybrid at 1 mana and i thought, "i can make one."

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well, i do want it to better than entomb, since it'll likely be taking a gold spot. Flashback might be the wrong bonus to give it. But i like having the option to extract, since you can use it game 1 to just go digging in their deck and see what they're on about. What if, when you used the...

    (b/w) Instant Search target player's library for a card and exile it face-up, then that player shuffles his or her library. You may put the exiled card in its owner's graveyard. Flashback 2(b/w)

    Card/Deck Fair Tinker

    FWIW i don't run any of the tinker targets i marked as "great" or better right now (though i was loath to cut the battleball). As far as a tron feel for cube, i run the cloud/glimmerpost package in my uld, and its very popular. Last night someone tried to make BR post, and i made Ur post with...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    If you're looking to make lands matter in black, try urborg + coffers in the ULD and some controlly mana sinks like old drana and profane command in the main cube. Goes nicely with grey merch and lashwrithe too.

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    UG graveyards/recursion is a real thing y'all. I would bet most of us are running it without even trying. Black may have the best reanimation, but U and G mill themselves like no other color can, and both colors have eminently cubable recursion effects. Also, Spelltwine Body Double Creeping...

    Card/Deck Fair Tinker

    A thought occurs to me. The "unfair" aspect of Tinker comes from its ability to ignore mana cost. So rather than try to make Tinker fair, why not try to make the eminently-comparable (in all except maximum power level) Fabricate playable? Better yet, why not try to do both?

    General Draft Strategy

    Chandra is effective, BUT id like her better if she were more like a good tibalt and less like a bad sulfuric vortex. Nissa is cool and i eventually want a copy, but for a similar effect im pretty pleased with my custom borderland ranger

    Does anyone have strong feelings on the flipwalkers? I've only played lili and jace so far.

    Card/Deck Fair Tinker

    I run tinker, and so far it's been mildly successful. My drafters are a little scared to commit, but ive seen it included in several ramp/control lists as a plan B to get that fatty out. I'd say Scuttling Doom Engine is imo about where most Riptide lists want to be in terms of a "premier"...

    Card/Deck Swords to Plowshares too good for my cube?

    Reassembling skeleton and pack rat can block all day, yall. If you need another blocky black 2-drop, im testing a sharpie-custom liliana's shade that costs BB. It... Seems like a really good defensive threat in a control deck. On paper anyway.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Ooh, I like that deck. Adding a squad of each Post to my ULD was one of my better decisions as a Cube architect. Love those lands!

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Well, they are flying 1/1s, and if Meloku is your curve-topper you're not really losing any tempo. He is good, just more narrow than people who record and publish their MODO cube sessions would have you believe.
