    TrainmasterGT's 360 Card Main Cube

    You seem to be very conservative on your removal. In my experience, I much prefer limited play when the removal is good. Even if you don't want to play the very best removal (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exil, Go for the Throat), I wouldn't run cards like Killing Glare or Smith the Monstrous...

    I mean, I think you read my question as "is there any reason to play a less powerful card over a more powerful one", which is worth discussing, but I was talking about those actual cards. The signalling point especially in respect of the Phantom is a good one, but I don't find either the power...

    General Fight Club

    I'm confident that if I asked any drafter after every game that they missed on Glint-Nest Crane whether they'd prefer to swap it out for a Seacoast Drake, they'd say no. It seems absurd to me to argue that you might not want a card in the cube because it doesn't have its best case scenario 100%...

    Seacoast Drake is a Glint-Nest Crane you miss on every time. I can see argument 1 but I don't think that in this case either of the cards I mentioned were so much better than Seacoast Drake that it would impact the format that much. It would have to be a very low power level, lower than most...

    Is there any reason to play Seacoast Drake over Glint-Nest Crane or Supreme Phantom? Also, Omenspeaker.

    General Dimir Saboteurs

    Reaver was one of the cards I was thinking of with stuff like Shadow Rift, as you need a fairly good payoff to put that card in your deck I think. It's also good for zombies too. It's one that I might try but cut if it's too frustrating.

    I play Veil and Last Hope and they've both been really good. On power level at least they're the best two. I don't have any experience with Death's Majesty but I don't think I'd try it in my cube.

    General Dimir Saboteurs

    So I was thinking about themes for my Dimir section in a new cube and started with ninjas, and thought maybe this could be expanded into a theme of "saboteurs" i.e. creatures with an effect when they damage a player. Some examples (including the ninjas): Mistblade Shinobi Ninja of the Deep Hours...

    I might add Sarkhan, although I have only 1 dragon so his play pattern will only be the first ability until ready to ultimate. The others I don't think so, Patient Rebuilding is probably too slow for my format, I didn't open a Vivien Reed and whilst she's good I'm not sure she's super...

    General [M19] Magic 2019

    Midnight prerelease thoughts Sarkhan, Fireblood was a lot better than I expected. If you can get him down early with some protection, he races towards his ultimate pretty quickly whilst making sure you have the cards to keep him alive. Patient Rebuilding was also a reasonable win condition...

    I have tried it and it is fun! When I play with cube packs I let people redraw lands if they want, because there's so many. It's a nice quick way to pass 5 minutes or so.

    I propose changing all the pronunciations of "land" in these nicknames into the same way it's pronounced in England or Ireland.
