BAHAHAHA that is the best nickname yet, stealing it

If Imperial Recruiter is in this year's Commander decks I will cry tears of joy. It's like the only Portal card I care about that hasn't already been reprinted. Mentor of the Meek used to be in my cube, but I think Monastery Mentor replaced him and now he's in a Commander deck somewhere. I can...

See, I had the lady pegged as Pia! I wonder if that counts as prejudice, privilege, or naiveté... Then again who cares On topic, I run Myr Battlesphere as my "best" Tinker target (even if it's GRBS it is in fact a Katamari of Myr so nyeh), and if your T3 is Tinker into Battleball and your T4...

Yeah, D-Tutor is really best in a powered cube where you really can just end the game T2-3 if you open land, Mox, D-Tutor. Also, tutoring is fun unless you're the one watching someone else tutor for 10 minutes during your end step, so I prefer tutors with restrictions, like Pod and Teachings...

Tutormancy {B}{U} Enchantment Whenever a player searches his or her library, choose one: • Tap target permanent. • Untap target permanent. • Remove a counter from target permanent. • Proliferate. I was wanting a reward card for drafting lots of tutors in UB (see the blue-black thread) and came...

I was gonna post some support for ahadabans' defense of land wipes, but I'd rather just like his post since he said it best. On topic, I've always wondered if there were some way to play up the tutor-y aspect of UB in cube in a fun way. You've got (at varying power levels) Mystical Tutor Demonic...

Lark shenanigans are the best. I'm slowly trying to push a Mardu "2-power or less" theme in my Cube, what with Lark and Alesha (and other cards I guess) caring about that number. Guide is the only pro-color creature in my cube I'm not actively trying to replace. One of my drafters requested it...

That's pretty clever! I personally use Chandra's Mom. Yes I know her dad is on the card too, but that ruins the pseudo-rhyme scheme when you kill someone with the sac trigger, shrug, and say "Sorry man, I guess Chandra's Mom has got it going on today." Slightly related, does anyone know the...

I finally have a ULD pile! Made it last night after finding some matching sleeves. To begin with, I'm moving all utility lands out of the cube except the 5-color fixers/fetches, thus beefing up my ULD with goodies like Mutavault. Then, I filled in with some lands I had laying around, plus a...

Sprout Swarm is infinite prowess triggers if your power level is low enough. Regrowth can buy back a Mana Leak or whatever. And for a WG prowess (as opposed to instants and sorceries) deck, that c14 card is a green oblivion ring.

I like Baneslayer, but mostly because of her hairdo

Don't forget the minotaur queen that really cements the archetype in Jeskai: Zedruu the Greathearted Cheat her out with Didgeridoo, then donate it to draw into more Minotaurs!

Let's not forget that you can use artifacts to bolster your themes... Sylvok Lifestaff Trading Post Zuran Orb Pristine Talisman

Something I want to try in a Riptidey cube is a UB morbid theme. You've got Evoke critters, you've got Blood Artist, and you can run stuff like Murder of Crows and Tragic Slip too. And Sylvok Lifestaff, and Mortarpod, and Mimic Vat... I feel like I had a list of cards to get this started...

BGw lifegain/lifepay Rock is like, my signature deck when we draft my cube. So much fun (for me)! Some stuff I use/have considered that isn't in this thread yet: Jungle Hollow Liliana, Heretical Healer Vampire Nighthawk Gray Merchant of Asphodel

I like each of its modes, but it's very much a tempo card. Midrange and control don't want it, imo. So it depends on how big a deal UGx tempo is in your cube. FWIW, I prefer Edric and Mystic Snake in tempo, but this only costs 2 and does all the things tempo wants to do—pump dudes, protect...

LOL That cube sounds fun all of three times, four at best. But I tell you what, Commander 2015 takes care of my Christmas list for this year.

I also like the Marang guy. My cube is a little (heh, maybe more than a little) too high-power for him. But, if I were in a place where Tasigur were too good for my power level, I'd definitely give Prowler a long look for the Sultai spot. I love Prowler's color flexibility and the...

Since all golems are artifact creatures, maybe you could use some of the artifact creature buffers from mirrodin and esper? That would also give you more tribe members.

But really all I want is an Eldrazi that (might) work in my cube... Vanguard of Ruin {8} You may sacrifice eight permanents instead of paying Vanguard of Ruin's mana cost. When you cast Vanguard of Ruin, exile all cards from all graveyards, then put all land cards exiled this way on the...
