The gameplay (of barbarossa), as it turns out, is pretty decent. It feels a lot like Dominion, but your deck stays lean because of the deploy mechanic, and you fight Russians for VP instead of buying VP. So far i've found ~3 viable strategies that can be hybridized/tweaked to taste without...

I love Slave of Bolas too! It was in my cube for a while but... Sadly my drafters just weren't interested. Grixis typically gets built in ways that don't work well with it. Maybe at 4 mana? Maybe...

Man Zealous Conscripts might be the perfect red creature, but I can never find space for Fleshbag Marauder. I dig the new art for it though, so maybe it's time to look for a spot again. Black 3-drops are so tight!

Has anyone here played/owned Barba*Rossa? My wife made me buy it over the weekend, and the comic shop guy got, uh, flustered.

I'm still trying to get the group together and test the idea. We all have jobs so it's, uh, hard. Hope to let y'all know how it works soon! In the meantime I've been making Cube pre-constructed decks and smashing them against each other with my wife and cousin. My RB recursive aggro pre-con is...

I meant re-pair it at end of turn... Like, they Bolt my Paladin, I Journey him, combat probably doesn't go super-well, but he comes back as a 3/3 double strike with a new buddy EOT.

Hmm, now i want to try Otherworldly Journey in my Cube... Maybe use it on Finks after a "bad" attack, hehehe. Also, good synergy with my Boros double-strikers... Lets me re-pair Silverblade in response to removal, for example.

Rasmus, I think part of what you may have encountered is that UW seems to be the most commonly drafted color pair on my CT, so the good fixing and removal in those colors may tend to be scarcer. I just went up to 5 duals per guild, but maybe that's not enough for 450... As far as removal, here's...

I got the idea for this thread after making a 4-color monstrosity out of a sealed pool from my cube. Post a sealed pool from your cube, or comment on a posted pool. I'll start: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/359172 So, in this pool, i had to leave before i could really mull over the final...

How many sac outlets do you need in RGu before you can start running stuff like Act of Treason? How many steal effects before you can start running stuff like Fling? This is what I'm running now (not counting colorless): Yasova Dragonclaw Zealous Conscripts Sarkhan Vol Bribery Control Magic...

Sorry Onder, I am grateful for the input! But I love those cards, you lovely submarine captain! Actually I love like every card in my green section and it makes cuts SO HARD. It's a problem. I'm a green card hoarder.

A couple of my drafters love using Goyf in their graveyard decks alongside looters or Tasigur. I like that he has pseudo-prowess in the early game when used alongside instants and sorceries. But yeah, eventually his dollar value will outweigh his cube-fun value, and he'll get cut. He's not...

As far as counterspells go, I like: Counterspell—It does exactly what you want a counter to do, but the restrictive mana makes it less "simply the best" than it is in Constructed, so there's some small amount of interesting tension there Mana Leak—Better than Counterspell early, worse late...

I will not *stamps foot* Rave, I guess in your case the criteria would be whether having two token producers at 4 in blue is worth the space? That's a tough sell for me, because IMO one of the two adds a really cool element to blue decks that wasn't there before (big board presence), but I...

Speaking of, could Whirler Rogue be better than Master of Waves for people wanting to push blue tempo? I've been running the Master just because his effect is pretty unique in blue, but I feel like the Rogue just completely outclasses him in almost every way as a Cube card: +more blinkable...
