    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    I can't recommend rampager enough, now THAT is a pump spell. (Similarly but not entirely so, predator's strike could be cool for similar reasons. I suspect it's too weak though) As a longtime fan of moldervine cloak, it's okay but not great. I really wish it didn't cost you a draw step to regrow...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    It's actually 540, cube tutor doesn't support the custom cards I have yet so my list is slightly reduced over there :p I really am in love with the size though. The variance that comes up from only drafting 66% of the cube in an 8 man is exactly where I want it: not so controlled that each draft...

    Arjan Ang's (Modern-faced) Cube

    You could add golgari grave-troll instead of the smaller dredge guys. He works for the mill deck as both an enabler and a win condition, and even gives necrotic ooze an ability! Personally RE: the swords thing, Grafted Wargear is an insane piece of equipment I've noticed you aren't running...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Black on the other hand... I'm still puzzled about what to do about black control. Traditionally the Black based control plan was to 1-for-1 your opponent for as long as you could and eventually refuel with a draw spell from blue or just end the game with something insane like grave titan...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Strangely the double man-o'-war is because I cut AEther Adept, and the triple looter il-kor is because I cut thought courier and merfolk looter, so it's less a design decision and more a small (mostly aesthetic) card swap, a la Wildfire > Burning of Xinye :p Though I am pleased to admit...

    Kristof's Cube

    My suggestion: Proxy. Your players wont mind (A cube is a huge financial undertaking) and it'll really help you do what you want with your list. I find it helps the most in testing cards that are really popular right now, but might not be later (Eg: Now is not the time to go buy a Gaea's Cradle...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    There's a new patch incoming, I just need to get my cube back from my buddies house and finalize the details! In (So Far), No idea what's coming out yet unless otherwise noted: Condemn Otherworldly Journey Spellstutter Sprite (Theiving Magpie) Daunless Corpse* (Blood Scriviner) Victimize...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'll admit he is dependant on the type/density of removal in your cube. I've been trying to play with less removal and more sorcery speed stuff among that, since it opens the door for a lot of other creatures to be good. That being said, his average case is hardly end step bolt.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    You know, Maybe Victimize is Recurring Nightmare #2 for my cube! I've been looking for another effect like it, and I'd subconsciously filed the card in my EDH brain database instead of the cube one (Not to say that there isn't overlap) with people sacing genesis to bring back Woodfall Primus and...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    I think a Black 2cmc catalog could be sweet. Sign in Mind? How has rager been for you? He's always seemed really mediocre to me, and he got cut a while back with no sadness. Part of the problem is (and the channelfireball guys really got into the meat of this) is that those are all midrange...

    Introducing CubeTutor.com

    Ooo filter on other people's cube sounds sweet! :D What do you mean the "main page"? Like the cube listing? The "View Cube" page is sorted by CMC, it's just done within the categories (The obvious one is creature, but I've set all my non-creatures to pretend to be sorceries so it just files them...

    General [Format Discussion] Modern Masters is Totally Incredible

    I'm sure there's a full on rant about the limited print run products coming on sometime. From the vaults can similarly bite my ass. It took me a whole damn year to find that foil serendib because I, in my hubris, didn't want to pay 250$ for FTV:Exiled
