On another note, I'm trying to spruce up my Simic section and Throne of Eldraine has given me some ideas to tie things up with older cards. I am a sucker for artifacts and getting green in on the action is a goal of mine. TrainmasterGT brought up the +1/+1 counters in his post and I believe I'm...

I've been thinking about lands lately. What is the smallest land matters package I can run that can still perform. I posted in this very thread before about the subject, but since then, I changed my mind on Cataclysm (GG if you are ahead and a long stalled out game if you are behind due to...

That is some sweet insight, thanks everybody. I will be testing out the Bishop, Bugler and Recruiter mainly because they allow me to get my card advantage without spending mana. Considering how starved white is for CA, having a third dude can't be that bad!

So I got to draft Erik's cube: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1179436[/url]"] Ones 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Elves of Deep Shadow 1 Joraga Treespeaker Twos 1 Bloom Tender 1 Edge of Autumn 1 Looter il-Kor 1 Lotus Cobra 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Sylvan Library Threes 1 Psychatog 1 Reclamation Sage 1...

Love the set. Some interesting designs that seem powerful, fun and can slot into different archetypes.

Oops, you missed ravnic's draft Erik, so I went ahead and drafted it :p https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/5d8b98ae50a8152674babf5b Started with a Grizzly Fate and wanted to draft a GY token deck (if that is even supported in the cube). Followed by a Stinkweed Imp and a Deep Analysis to cement...

I want white to have a few card advantage spells and I'm having a tough time chose between the following. Mentor of the MeekBygone BishopRecruiter of the GuardMilitia Bugler I have room for 2 of the 4 and right now, I'm leaning towards Bishop and Bugler mainly because their bodies are way...

I would rather have a second Porcelain Legionnaire rather than a first Thopter. Skirge is good though!

I think it's tricky to have a fix ratio. I don't know about other people here, but when I cube draft, I have between 3 and 5 players and never the full 8. Assuming we keep the 14-18 ramp spells ratio, I could theoretically have 2 ramp drafters each with 8 ramp spells! That is also assuming I'm...

I feel I am close to being happy with the cube. I wanted it to be more synergy than power, but I feel this is still a decent compromise. I've been drafting some decks that are good stuff and others that are spicier. Here are some I like: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1163916[/url]"] Ones 1...

Lot's of good stuff, love the input. I've considered Finks before and have played him a lot, but I recently cut him because I was trying out Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit and I don't want infinite combos. Anafenza has been good, the only complaints about her is that she is the only Bolster card...

I would go with Kess, Dissident Mage for a few reasons. It's cheaper It can work a couple ways: a payoff for a spell heavy deck or a payoff for a self-mill deck 3 color cards are narrow enough that having them work without jumping through hoops seems important I have one and I don't know what...

Just chiming in with random thoughts and things I believe you said around the forums (basically, I'm probably way off :p). From what I understand, you want to keep Gruul (and Naya for Zacama) and Dimir (for discard matters). You also seem to mention Jeskai as being sweet in some other posts...

I enjoy checking out your cube since it is high powered and that is what I am aiming for. I have a question on a few cards that you play that I had cut because they were a bit too powerful. Titania, Protector of Argoth Ramps and provides beefy tokens really easily. She seems particularly...

Wildfire + Burning of Xinye pair also very well with the land matter cards and open up a whole new archetype for very little space in the cube. You even have a bunch of 5+ power dudes in red or guys like Rekindling Phoenix to pull ahead in addition to the above mentioned land package.

I do a few different things when I'm stuck on my cube: - Take a few days off even thinking about it - Draft other people's cubes to see what I like/dislike - Come back to my original cube goals and see if I am still building the cube towards them Here are some observations looking at your list...

Dimir artifact control I love artifacts and I try to include them as much as possible in my cube without it being too obvious (I hope :p) When trying to fit the artifact theme into dimir colors, I had trouble, but I think I've reached a satisfying conclusion that isn't overly narrow, yet...

On a design note, I decided to remove most of the ramp cards. I want to encourage people to curve out and want aggro decks to stand a chance. They already have a tougher time in multiplayer, no need to further accentuate the phenomenon. Green has Birds of ParadiseNoble HierarchNoble...

So I haven't posted in a while, but I need help laying out my thoughts, so here goes. My group just doesn't want to play with lower powered cards. I've been slow to recognize the fact, but now I've accepted it. What that means is that my cube goals have shifted from building a primarily...

Have you considered the "fake" tricolor cards? Alesha, Who Smiles at DeathBrutal HordechiefTasigur, the Golden FangWarden of the First TreeSoulfire Grand MasterShaman of the Great HuntYasova Dragonclaw Now not all of these will fit your themes, but they are really good and flexible. My...
