    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Card/Deck Tokens Combo

    Unearth is also good redundancy here, since it's protection and a good fodder piece when you're going off

    Oh yeah, to return this fine woman with ninja of the deep hours

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    This might not even need to be in the low power thread. I'm running a nearly identical custom (w sorcery, make a thopter, investigate), and even in my evniornment full of 2/1s as far as the eye can see, you've still got time to pop this and be happy about it. Investigate might just be a big...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    I dunno, I run incinerate for the art, and I've actually included a few hard to work regen effects (nothing as simple as river boa level, for eg, more like experiment one in terms of cost) to make it relavant. Someone asked me why I was running Burn from Within instead of red sun's zenith, and...

    Card/Deck Tokens Combo

    I guess I'm wondering what the precise difference between fallen angel and the whole eldrazi displacer combo is, draft wise. Like is it the arbitrary ammount of damage that's drawing you to it? What's the difference between this and overrun? Or say, Secure the Wastes + Blasting Station? Also...

    Card/Deck Tokens Combo

    Seems like we're having trouble with this being better than beating down. What other infinite combos are there that involve these parts but aren't actually a kill without something like blood artist? I can think of persist creature, sac outlet and meleria, but that beats down pretty well. The...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    Probably one of the points being communicated is edge cases. Dang that's a spirit for my rend flesh, declaration in stone hosed my opponents Dragon fodder - - > hordeling outburst draw when his turn 3 could easily have been man-o'-war instead, etc. I mean I run custom cards, and enough of them...

    not to get technical here, but isn't it the cards your opponent doesn't play?

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Overseer has been surprisingly sweet for me. (Grave Titan was a bit too strong)

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I love to hate path of bravery. It's a decent anthem that's on a decent amount of the time, but moreso than any other noncreature non-removal spell it WILL NOT help you when you're losing, which is mostly why I don't run it. It does create some awesome moments though. I recall a time where I...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I ran it at 1WW and it was okay, but mostly really swingy. It either made the game unwinnable for your opponent or did nothing for you while you died. I will mention the difference between this and Golgari Germination is huge.

    I went with Mind Blast and Novice Engineer. Lost to Murlok Tinyfin and Grimscale Oracle :P

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    mentor of the meek enchantment doesn't help unless you have creatures in hand, so I'm looking for something a little more one and done. Tithe is close, but only finding lands means I wouldn't play it in aggro. Brawl has been great! It's just on that single card, but that card has been good...

    I basically had the same thought as Ahabadans after the prerelease, and Hier is indeed what you want usually :P

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    <Cross Post from Custom Cards thread> So I've been trying to design a white brainstorm (IE Something cheap to increase the chances white drafters have the spells they need at the right time) Having something in your environment like this really helps mana flood/screw, as well as letting niche...

    General Changes to The Pro Tour Payouts

    Wait, like there's a monthly fee for logging in? I mean I assume they're so horribly down on modo that they're not confidant that event entry alone could keep them under budget, so point 1 before point 2, unless we think actually hiring a proper dev team for modo is all it takes for modo to be...

    oh man I love the art for voidstone monolith, I might switch! Linky? Also: Spawndog? Really? :P That's gotta be a playtest name, right?
