Hosted a Cube event last night. We did two rounds of 4-person sealed duels, and my Bant tempo-ish deck went 2-0. I'll try to remember the list... Mother of Runes Skullclamp Ponder Phantasmal Image Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Snapcaster Mage Looter il-Kor Unexpectedly Absent Cyclonic Rift Memory...

Another CubeTutor update! I reworked the guild sections, and because my "DualGates" have basic land types, I replaced them with the original duals on CT. That more accurately reflects their function. There are more tri-color/tri-brid cards in the multicolor section too, including Doran and The...

You've been drafting the crap out of my cube, so I figured I should return the favor at least once. Ended up with a Gruul attacking deck that uses the trilands to splash blue AND white: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/332325 This was a lot of fun. My deck is probably more awful than I realize...

That's a good-looking aggro deck, Grillo—glad you liked your second try at the cube better! And yeah, the guildgate errata is just me being a tightwad, but it opens up some interesting interactions with the "Gates-matter" cards from RTR block. Not sure if any of those cards are cube worthy though.

Rix Maadi Guildmage Here's a bad bae I haven't heard anyone ever seriously consider for their Rakdos section. But I tell you what, I had a cool foil and tried her in my peasant cube, and homies she straight SMOKED life totals and pesky blockers. I like to think of her as virtual card advantage...

Thanks! Sol Ring is pretty much nuts. It was the one thing that I was like, "YEAH BRUH i got so many of these about from all these EDH precons and it's banned in every other format—perfect for Cube!" But I think at this point I'd be okay with taking it out, because it's true that nothing else...

Hey guys, I made some updates to Cubetutor. I'm trying a bigger gold section to go with the bigger duals, and since original duals are no bueno for modern frame, I'm going to sharpie out the "enters tapped" part of 10 of these dang Guildgates I have laying around the house, and use them in the...

Yeah my bots are dumb. It doesn't help that I reset my picks fairly recently after a big overhaul. Speaking of green, one green archetype I've been trying to make work is land recursion with Titania and Life from the Loam, etc. It hasn't really ever come together though. I feel like all the...

I can definitely see myself taking out mortify for sculler and rites. I really wanna do the gifts-rites thing on someone in an esper control list. Also, when reanimator comes together for me it's usually value reanimator, which rites kind of fits into better than it would in the all-in version.

Good stuff, good stuff. I'm kinda hem-hawing about Unburial Rites and Falkenrath Aristocrat in their respective guilds, too. Maybe this is more a fight club discussion but let's pit them vs. Sculler and draculady??

Good suggestions! I especially like clan defiance and izzet charm. Can you talk a little about why you chose those?

Yeah, I definitely want blackcleave in rakdos. My setup for that guild would likely be Mire, crypt, reach, cliffs, summit (fetch, shock, man, scar, buddy) if i didnt break singleton for two shocks. New question! With mystic snake and finkel in mma15, i want to find room in my guild sections for...

Onder (may I call you Onder?), I love these decks you're making. And I have a confession to make: I haven't updated Cubetutor yet but Lavaclaw Reaches is in there now, because I have a manland addiction. Also, sorry, I must have missed where you suggested 5 fixers per guild earlier. With that...

@Onderzeebot, it sounds like you're enjoying drafting the cube, which is great! That looks pretty similar to the last successful deck I drafted—except with mo' bombs ;) And yeah, Recurring Nightmare and Grave Titan are nutty, especially together. No one's really "gone off" with RecSur yet...

Okey dokey, we're off to a great start! I'll try to reply to everything one at a time. Thanks to everyone who's inspected the cube and commented! @Grillo I don't have any decklists saved, because I'm usually half-drunk by the time cubing events end. Some winning decks include BUG graveyard...

First query: I'm not sure if it's a function of the cube list or drafter preference, but midrange seems to be the most popular archetype. However, usually combo or aggro or tempo wins the most. Does anyone have ideas for gently encouraging more non-midrange decks?
