Blas-Act will stay in my cube as long as Boros Reckoner and Soulfire Grand Master stay in my cube, which is to say, probably a very long time. There's your high-fivin' cube story, MTGS!

I like all the differences of opinion! This one might come down to a poll of my drafters. Thanks!

Here's one. This is kind of a different-rules fight than usual though. If you had a Cube where you wanted bombs but not Wurmcoil-level bombs, which of these walkers would you run, if any, and in what order? Elspeth, Knight-Errant Gideon Jura Elspeth, Sun's Champion

Time for a new pack! This one is from Raveborn's cube: Animate Dead Turnabout Stromkirk Noble Eternal Witness Lightning Berserker Temple of Deceit Condescend Spell Snare Vorapede Lingering Souls Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Collected Company Blasphemous Act Rakdos Cackler Archangel of Tithes My...

To answer your concerns: Proliferate—yes, it's a +1/+1 counter theme, and there will be at least one card with proliferate in every color. I'm adding the keyword to Miraculous Recovery for White and possibly Burst of Strength in Green. EDIT: The idea is not so much to go crazy with counters...

Hmm, I honestly think I prefer Vorapede for a more traditional cube. I know Wanderer has been getting hype all over the place, but even when your fixing is above-average even by Riptide standards, he's just a beater. Vorapede also pitches to Force, and gets Undying for one extra mana and a more...

It's worth it to me because I do like Flamespeaker Adept (though I know she's un-cube-able as is), and I do want to run an under-supported (but IMO quite fun) theme that she would work well in, once she has a simple boost. The question is, what boost do I want to give her? I'm gonna try a few of...

I do agree that giving her a scry ability would be a good way to go, but that's a lot of words to sharpie in. I'm thinking something like "3R: Scry 1" would be about right, but it's hard to tell, play unplayed, whether that'd be too much or not enough.

LET'S GET STRIKIN'!!!!!! But srsly what about Menace? Or maybe add 3R: Scry 1? I do like the double strike scry trigger but i want to raise the floor more than the ceiling.

She gets first strike from the scry trigger :P

I was thinking of giving her Menace, but i feel like there's another simple ability that would do the trick even more elegantly. Like, the ceiling is there, i just want to raise her floor/average case a bit (okay maybe more than a bit). In terms of cube power level, the cube i want to stick her...

Conundrum Sphinx If you've got a lot of scry and scry-ish effects going on, to the point of "i know my top card" being an archetype, is this worth 4 mana? And while we're at it, what does this gal need to be worth her 3 mana in said decktype? Flamespeaker Adept

Allies and ingest shenanigans are kind of a wash for me, but I am definitely digging the awesome Awaken/lands package they gave blue. The blue retreat and all but 1-2 blue awaken cards, plus that tidecaller gal, are making blue one of my new cube's lands-matter colors.

Here we go with Version 2! The cube has been reset once again, and a much leaner White section is now posted. I'm looking to keep all my sections between 50 and 55, and this second draft comes in at a middling 53. Woo! As a reminder, White's themes are proliferation, wide/tall attacks, lands...

I love Pact. Any color combination except BR can mitigate its drawback (blue can bounce it, green can kill it, white can do both), making it a slow 5-for-2. It can function as setup for your Gary, reach for your aggro deck, or continuous advantage for your control deck. That said I've never...

If I want to win, Wargear or Young Pizzle. If I want to feel alive, Demonic Pact.

So as I've been designing my new Cube, I hit upon the idea of putting "Riptide pitch to Force" synergy in every color. Every color. This is easy enough except that White has no Proliferate card... Proliferous Recovery {4}{W} Instant Return target creature card from your graveyard to the...

Okay, between last night and this morning I came to a revelation. Why am I trying to give every guild, every wedge, every shard, a theme? Why not expand a few broad themes to as many colors as possible? With that in mind, I now have a new archetype list that encompasses pretty much everything...

Yeah i wasnt sure exactly what to call it, but basically some stompy dudes with both good elspeths and some equipment. He did decently against the other two players by putting lightning greaves on a warden of the first tree, but my baleful strix stopped that strategy cold.

Pulled this cutie of a deck while "color drafting" with three other guys tonight. Other decks were GW lightsaber, UR burn, and GB ramp/rock. The GW matches were quite one-sided; the burn match was the same way thanks to his low threat count. Against the GB deck, the first game went VERY long as...
