Attempted an oath deck. Mana base is shaky but it looks really fun to play. None of the fatties are intended to be casted of course (though many can be). Two tutors to find oath and one additional to put a dude on top. Regrowth to get it back if disenchanted. Some removal and broad sweepers...

Running Kiki feels really ambitious with that mana base, but the combo win is hard to pass up. I was faced with this exact dilemma when I built that reanimator deck above. I choose to leave Kiki/Mite in the SB as I didn't have a way to really tutor them and other cards I drafted felt like...

Drafted a decent reanimator deck. That is probably the most broken archetype in this cube (that and the opposition deck). www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/581816[/url]"] Ones 1 Entomb 1 Force Spike 1 Opt 1 Reanimate Twos 1 Chainer's Edict 1 Incinerate 1 Waterfront Bouncer Threes 1 Compulsive...

Serendib Efreet in for Mulldrifter? I can totally do that. Not having Efreet has been bugging me. I want to add another black aggro dude anyway. Shriekmaw is probably too good so it's gone. What to replace it with? Mesmeric Fiend for some disruption? Or go more modern and get another 2 power 1...

I don't know if you have enough islands to make high tide good. Also would have liked another win con other than tendrils. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker would have been sweet with that Pestermite. Other than that, it looks pretty solid to me. I'm not even going to post the travesty of a storm...

Not something I'd usually draft TBH, but it came together really nicely. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/581609[/url]"] Ones 1 Cursed Scroll 1 Goblin Guide 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Isamaru, Hound of Konda 1 Jackal Pup 1 Kird Ape 1 Lightning Bolt 1 Reckless Charge 1 Wild Nacatl Twos 1 Lightning Helix...

Nice deck. Thanks for drafting! Deso Angel is awesome. One of the best reasons to go WB control.

IN << OUT Auramancer << Daring Skyjek - decided I didn't like any of the above. Auramancer isn't necessarily a three drop, but this list has a ton of enchantments now, so this seems like potentially a great value card (in this cube obviously). Crush of Wurms << Worldly Tutor - seems like a...

I knew there were last minute changes to both, but didn't know the exact stories. Thanks for posting those. Fun facts are... well... fun.

Another shout out for Incendiary Flow. Should be a windmill slam given how powerful exile effects are in most cubes. It's an upgraded volcanic hammer too. Trading instant for sorcery plus exile seems stellar to me. EDIT: Also worth a mention in this capacity is Red Sun's Zenith. It's a...

All good. I will go that here shortly. :) So Daring Skyjek is disqualified for the word "battalion". I missed that. Replacement choices are just... bad. 3 drop slot feels light, so leaning on just adding another one of those. Choices are: Mangara of Corondor - more removal and combo...

Nice! Someone who can actually successfully draft storm. Awesome. Thank you for posting that. Where do I change the setting for that (use older cards)? Doing that one by one will suck.

In an artifact heavy list (like most modern lists), I think relic-warder is better personally. How many must-answer enchantments are people running? I'm guessing most of that has been gutted from your typical Riptide list.

Yeah. I threw a list together. Not being an expert on the cards from this time period, it's hard to effectively vet this. There are also a lot of things which I feel hold true in more modern lists due to creature power levels, which are very likely different in an older list like this. And I...

Dovetailing off the recent thread I made in the forum, I wanted to post the list I've been tinkering with and the design parameters I established. All this is subject to change of course. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/60453 My Primary motivation for exploring this idea is a general...

MTGS has gotten a little subdued with that as of late. Not so much the pushing of the power axis (which is still holding pretty strong), but the animosity towards different viewpoints. It may have sunk in with the ruling members that the forum is almost dead now with only maybe a couple dozen...

Thanks for all the responses. I had friends that played from the days of alpha but I resisted getting into Magic for a really long time. Maybe because I knew I'd pour so much money into it. The wording and border changes bother me as well. Being a fairly nostalgic person, the older...

The only thing I can think is that in a super high powered cube, enough decks might be low on creatures to the point where Jitte loses a lot off it's effectiveness. It's damn near useless against combo and control. My reason for taking it was so I didn't have to play against it, especially...

Meltyman posted an old bordered list in another thread and started a blog. Got me to thinking about how cube has changed over the years. That and how the idea of "retro" has probably also evolved (like Bon Jovi is somehow now considered "classic rock" according to more than one local radio...

I suspect part of that has to do with elitism though. Knowing how to break combinations of cards in these types of metas gives a player a very large advantage over less knowledgeable players (even good players). And I suspect a lot of the resistance to exploring more fringe cube environments...
