Yeah, when I said you run some cards I would be scared of, I meant mostly those modern era midrange dudes. 4/4 fliers for 4 with multiple upsides just don't mesh well with many of the old school creatures I love to cube with. Yeah, couldn't agree more. One the most dynamic and interesting...

I already run the Familiar and Faerie Seer. I think I'll do this. Give the Siren a chance. 7 is a lot bit it also gets +1/+1 and flying and leaves a 1/1 behind.

I love Pteramander. It's a flying man for the U/x tempo decks, especially great as a ninjutsu enabler, yet it is also a card that is desireable in a U/x control deck. Now, I want stick with singleton, but still would like some blue evasive 1-drops that could appeal to control decks. Choose up...

Yeah, that's a sick common. Even with not other ways to put counters on it, it is essentially a Den Protector that just gets permanents - but still, that was a heavily played rare. Edit: Oh my freaking god it's adapt 2, so it's even better ...

So far this set is about a lot of cards that come really close to being a good fit for my cube. If Marionette Apprentice or Warren Soultrader where slightly smaller than 2-mana 2/3 or 3-mana 3/3 they would be better fits for my environment. If Triton Wavebreaker was red or even better white, I...

Vengevine is actually already in the CCC for a few years. It has yet to do anything scary. It makes surprisingly few decks though, since I track everything (for 18 month now) it was only once in a deck and went 2-1. I suspect it's just bad luck why it doesn't get played more often. Things like...

Okay, thanks for relieving my consciousness, but ... do you tell the people so you don't have "an advantage" or do you do it secretly (like a true criminal!) so people draft naturally?

To you that have cubes bigger than the amount of cards that actually get drafted ... have you ever seeded some cards into the draft pool? I don't mean in specific packs, but lets say you know that your players will only see 288 cards (a six person draft with four packs of 12), and there are...

You know what, I'll get a copy of Genesis and try it. If it doesn't work, I can still throw in Grizzly Fate or Beast Attack as I have copies of those in my collection. But I've thought about Genesis more often than the people who wrote the bible. I will report back. In my CCC thread. In a few...

Could you say anything to maybe reduce my concerns? Where is the sweet spot where it is neither unbeatable nor too slow?

Love your thoughtful analysis here. The reason why I shy away from Genesis is that some people say, it would always either be too slow or feel unbeatable. That being said, I know that some people run and love it, isn't that true @Onderzeeboot ?

Roar of the Wurm is probably in my top 10 favorite magic cards of all time. It's just perfect. A simple design with a lot of depth. I mean, an aggressive madness deck, a grindy dredge deck and a mono green ramp deck all want to have it, yet they all maximize it in a different way.

Hmm, yeah, so 7 mana is a lot for the flashback if you just mill it over. But with threshold it already provides you with a selfmill payoff on the front if you draw it. It also has the advantage to be better in token strategies as it goes wider. And it creates a token I already cube. Beast...

I want a green card that has a solid base line and is, most importantly, sweet value to mill it over. I want to push golgari and simic selfmill decks. Beast Attack Grizzly Fate Masked Admirers Which one would you chose and why? Edit: Updated the cotestants.

There is definitely a downside to it. When you look back there is a post in this thread from about a year ago where japahn points out, that my less enfranchised friend had his artifact deck not working out well because it couldn't decide between being a deck that wants Bomat Courier and one that...

Thank you for your feedback! I love food tokens, Foreboding Fruit, The Underworld Cookbook and Gilded Goose have all been in there at some point. Gumdrop Poisoner is tempting, but the thing is that lifegain is really mostly a white theme. Black and green offer some incidental lifegain, but I...

Finally did another draft, this time with six people in total. We had a great time and it proved my biggest change of my winter update successful. Here come the lists (results are shown in W-L-D) 1. {W}{U} Blink Midrange 3-0-0 (6-1) Ones 1 Goldmeadow Harrier 1 Giant Killer Twos 1 Ninja of...

Man, if it was just one mana more expensive the Wight would've been the golgari card I've always wanted. It combines dredge, sacrifice and land strategies. But it is most likely a little bit too good.

I did a draft of your cube https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/73d75cf0-260d-4fd5-8717-c34ae384990c It was fun! A few things I noticed here: There was very very little fixing. I would highly recommend to add at least a couple cycles of simple tapped lands to reduce non-games. Also, I'm not sure...

I've played my fair share of yugioh back then and while I have some nostalgia for it, I just think it's not really a great game mechanically. However, my buddy had a PS1 game when we were in elementary school, where you could improve your weak monsters in game by just fusing two of them...
