I haven't tried this idea yet, so it's getting its first test run hopefully next week when my group can draft again. Right now my idea is to put all the GRBS cards into the Pandora pack so that: 1. Drafts where Lore Seeker doesn't appear play much more like a Riptide cube and 2. When Lore Seeker...

I finally gave this a test draft, and to put it briefly, I was flummoxed. The draft was enjoyable, but I have a distinct feeling of being very bad at MTG after finishing the draft and my deck. Further comments are in the deck link itself, which ended up as an Esper Control list since that's the...

So, this card Lore Seeker is one that my playgroup has always loved, since we went in on a box of Conspiracy to draft. I've always played it as adding another 15 Cube cards to the draft when picked, but reading these forums—as well as the new CubeTutor sideboard feature—gave me an idea...

My wife and I had a kind-of epic 1v1 game after quilt drafting earlier today. (I may be misusing the term, but when I say quilt draft I mean you lay out a 4x4 grid of cards between two players and take turns picking up rows and/or columns. I find 6 quilts is about right.) I won, but just barely...

Bouncelands and Rewind are great suggestions. I guess what I mean to say is I want to "allow" people to use all their mana every turn, rather than make them "have" to. My idea for this Cube is one where your curve is super fluid and you have lots of ways to spend mana, so that you can almost...

The cube is still in its infancy, but I've posted the guild section (which was by far the easiest section) and my extra-rough draft of White. I'd like to get the Cube up to at least 360, with 50-55 cards per mono section and 4-5 duals per guild. The cards on the list so far should give you an...

http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/32888 Here's another non-traditional cube by me. This one comes from a collection of ideas I've got on this site, culminating in a Cube where players are challenged to use their mana optimally every turn. There's lots of X spells, alternate casting costs...

Ehhhhhhh, you're probably right.... I'll probably give it one shot and then cut it. Can't hurt to see if anyone gets good use from it. Of course, now I want to make a mana-sink cube. That actually sounds super fun.

Making a mono-blue cube is not my idea, but I think it'd be fun, so now I'm putting together a list. I have a general idea of what kind of archetypes to build around, but the part that throws me is the structure. How many slots (obviously this shouldnt be set in stone) should i have at each cmc...

Okay, i've got a hankering to play Dictate of Karametra in the Cube, cuz i think it'll be funny. I also got Become Immense in there, taking out Unravel the Aether. Anyone have a suggestion for what to cut for the Dictate?

Viashino Slaughtermaster Brute Force Become Immense Berserk Prophetic Flamespeaker Jund Charm Titan's Strength Vines of Vastwood Stormblood Berserker Briarhorn Kalonian Hydra Treetop Village Ghor-Clan Rampager Thrun, the Last Troll Markov Blademaster This probably isn't very far off the classic...

Tried drafting again and it was again amazing. http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/342036 I went UW control after a P1P1 Eternal Dragon and P1P2 Treasure Cruise. There was one pick in either the second or third pack where I was severely torn between Man-O-War, Moorland Haunt, and Akroma's...

Yeah I'm cubing the crap out of Mr. and Mrs. Nalaar. My red section needs more struggling inventors that can make big plays.

This was one of the most fun drafts I've ever had on CT. Jund Lightning Rift/Reanimator: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/340991 I tried to build around Lightning Rift and Guttersnipe, and ended up with this monster. It feels like Modern Living End, but as a gnarly sideways draft archetype...

Here's the thing about Manic Vandal. Look at him, crushing that glassware without a care in the world. Look at his fabulous hair and moustache. Look at how it's fun for him to crush glassware and he doesn't need another reason. Now ask yourself... Can I really break up with this handsome fella?

My list is singleton (gasp!), runs Sol Ring, Jitte, and Wurmcoil (the humanity!), and yet people here so far have been eminently reasonable and even super nice! If it weren't for you guys I'd still only have 3 dual lands per guild. Of course, discussion has slowed a bit since then, but not much...

You should also mention how people will actively comment on your cube thread even if your list is crap and you don't run power or Swords. I got more replies on my Cube here in like two days than I ever have on MTGS.

This is a great post, and what I'm about to say should in no way be taken as an attempt to refute it, but anyway: My playgroup actively asked for lots of two-card combos while I was building my initial Cube list. So I tried to accommodate that desire. If you want to press the "I win" button in...

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but when I draft I usually go by my own internal "draft priority" list, something like this: -Backup Plan -Power Play -Dumb artifacts (Jitte etc.) -Hidden Agenda conspiracies -Fetchlands -Strong hybrids (Finks) -Strong duals and rainbow lands (although...

This deck arose not from a draft, but a 90-card sealed pool—albeit a ridiculous one. I promise I don't stack my pools for Cube nights, lol.
