I don't run Gravecrawler as I don't like the tribal implication, but I'm pretty happy with these guys in its absence: bloodsoaked champion dread wanderer bloodghast scrapheap scrounger

Opposition Winter Orb This combo actually led to someone storming out on a cube night, and never playing magic again. :D

Not many people run this card, but I personally like it a lot in the right context: Zombie Infestation I know it's not really what you're getting at, but figured I'd toss it into the ring. It requires some building around: Asylum Visitor From under the Floorboards Gisa's Bidding Gifts...

Little late getting the decklists up, but Endgame and GoT are more important on a Sunday. Apologies for the lack of details, I had too much Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (12.3%!) too early, and couldn't remember much other than talking loudly at my opponents. Onto the decks: 3-0...

Judgment* I've had good experience with avacyn's judgment and think it's a pretty fair card...fairly low powered for my cube. It costs an additional mana to be arc lightning, and requires a hoop to jump through to get there. If you're concerned, violent eruption would be an even more fair option.

It didn't feel on rails at all. I had a lot of opportunities to pivot, and the resulting deck doesn't feel like you're being beaten over the head with the theme. All the cards are independently useful with exception of animation module...having a card or two like that seems fine to me. I've...

You could always do a ramp subtheme: Song of Freyalise Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter Cryptolith Rite Convoke is generally great with vigilance as well.

Drafted Nanonox's cube: p1p1: Reyhan, because I've always been intrigued by the card, and just wanted to see how it'd play out. p1p2: Verdurous Gearhulk....well..obviously From there just went down a grindy sac-recursion golgari deck with a counters subtheme...

Gifts has become one of my favorite cube cards. It is a one of the few sources of card advantage/tutoring that can be built around, a quality that I value very highly in my cube. Compare it to something like Vampiric Tutor that goes with anything and compliments whatever strategy you're...

Locks? do you mean an actual lock or one of the more solid includes in your cube? I'm leaning towards atheros at the moment. I was looking at dbs's cube and was intrigued by Enduring Renewal, but this seems like a less complicated alternative, while offering some variance that I like.

It's a great card and does fit perfectly in the cube so it's a fair question. I ran it for a long time, but it proved to be quite an autodraft card in this format. I've tried to reduce the amount of those types of cards, as they can result in decks feeling a little goodstuffy rather than a...

Got a cube night in last night, and got my ass handed to me yet again. :oops: I'll post decks on Sunday. In the meantime, I'm looking to replace Teysa Karlov as it's proving to be too narrow. Could use some input from you guys. The options I'm currently considering as replacement: Debtors'...

Drafted Ravnic's... P1P1 Lyzolda Proceeded to force draft around her: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1102387[/url]"] Ones 1 Footlight Fiend 1 Thoughtpicker Witch 1 Thoughtpicker Witch Twos 1 Basilica Screecher 1 Burglar Rat 1 Burglar Rat 1 Glowspore Shaman 1 Rakdos Guildmage 1 Last Gasp 1 Rakdos...

The 3 mana activation is too steep for my cube. Carrion Feeder is playable because of its free sac. I like Flesh Carver more as well as it's floor is a Rotlung Reanimator. The format would need to be pretty slow for me to consider Dreadmalkin.

Mono green. Tapping for "colorless" is valuable in its own right.

Got a 6 man in on Thursday: Winner's Bracket (all 2-1) Ones 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Reckless Charge 1 Lightning Axe Twos 1 Lupine Prototype 1 Selfless Spirit 1 Scrapheap Scrounger 1 Bloodrage Brawler 1 Magus of the Balance 1 Mogg War Marshal 1 Avacyn's Judgment 1...

It's really on the nose. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm a little put-off with how many boxes it checks tbh. I'll test it, but it might end up on the sidelines much like Titania, Protector of Argoth.

I'm getting a little careless in labeling Monarch inelegant for 1v1. The inelegance for me lies more in including a single instance of a non-evergreen mechanic in my cube that has only been featured in a small run multi-player set. Monarch is fine for 1v1, but is more dynamic in a multiplayer...

I cubed Regal Behemoth for several months. I thought of it as a fair Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger. It was a pretty good power level for me, but I ended up cutting it for the mechanic's inelegance for 1v1 play (similar to will of the council)

There's a handful of fringe scenarios when tapping down a 1cmc creature with a tap ability is useful for forcing an action: Mother of Runes Goblin Welder Deathrite Shaman etc...but if you are running Gideon's Lawkeeper, you're probably not running many of those culprits. Other good...
