So I got a pen and notepad out and started going through what piece of roshambo the colors should focus on, and how the color pairs could look, to help me get more of an idea of what directions I wanted to go. This is not breaking any new grounds, but it's a nice basis for me when choosing cards...

keranos, god of storms How oppressive is this guy? I could imagine he's alright by the fact that he's online by turn 6 the earliest, maybe turn 5 off a rock, and you could just get run over before that? Seems like a good incentive to draft the bigger UR/x deck

To be honest, both arts are pretty goofy. Ugin also has tiny arms?

Weren't you guys super excited just like a week ago?

How willing are you to go into the combo territories with the cards like living death? I get the feeling that all this card draw will help people that rely on one narrow card, since they'll be churning through their decks so fast. The same goes for cards like nemesis of mortals as well (which I...

pestermite Reminds me of this actually, which we've cubed, so the body should be good enough but is the effect and the extra U needed worth it, is the question?

Yeah I totally thought this was any spell at first :(

My issue isnt the modularity of the themes, but that my drafters arent realising that they're there! I think one solution is to add one or two dedicated cards for the theme, and slimming down the amount of themes I'm running to give more slots for the themes (of course one slot can support...

So preferably we would find a solution that involves control and other decks with less key-cards wheeling being able to table removal without it also getting snatched by aggro and midrange decks? Maybe there is a way to try to add more cards that aggro doesnt want, that fills the niches the...

I'm pretty new to cube design, and although I've learnt plenty just by reading riptide articles and participating on these boards, I still notice that my themes don't always become apparent to my drafters. I'd like to learn how to give more directions to people playing the cube, so that you...

I cant remember exactly who mentioned in the skype chat earlier today that he was missing some black controly five-drops, and this seems like a step in the right directions. (along with sidisi)

Oh! What's the first one? Also I will totally use this as a reference in case someone asks me about building a cube with low budget and/or with the bounce lands. Theres a lot going on in this cube, and from what I can tell theres some high levels of substance and depth for being so close to...

my experience so far has been that my fixing is really really good, and that my drafters wanted more glaring build-arounds, so I'll see how it turns out! I mean if it just ends up as pick 15 some drafts in a row I can just cut it again! And if he goes in a crazy 3-0 deck I can put him on a watch...

yeah but probably its just better to go vampiric or enlightened for that instead of going through a bunch of hoops via trinket mage. But trinket mage is still a fun card, see grillos bouncecube.

'fun' :p Speaking of which, has anyone had luck with utlity zur? A friend gave it to me today and it made me wonder. I'm already running some curses and enchantment-based removal, and it fetches enchantment creatures.

Open your eyes in the skies and see,

A bounceland so you can generate tons of mana in grillos bounceland cube!

Isn't it a 5 player format? With the banker?

nicol bolas, planeswalker Shush!

In terms of land destruction just a note I was thinking more in terms of ghost quarter and tectonic edge than wasteland. Hatebears might end up just as a W/x sub theme, but I run thalia and imposing sovereign already so it'd feel good to just help that a little bit in a way that might actually...
