Izzet Out Of My League? The biggest recurring problem in my Cube sketches right now is figuring out what on earth blue is meant to do. More specifically, I can just about figure out what every colour pair involving blue is meant to do - with the glaring exception of UR/Izzet. The design...

To log on in my usual role as good_card_defender, I've found Recurring Nightmare increasingly inefficient and hard to utilize in high-powered Cubes even though recent sets are full of 'when this ETBs, do X, Y AND Z' designs If you're open to silver-bordered cards, this one can pop off (and...

Stronghold Assassin is a powerful card but it only really goes in dedicated sacrifice decks (or some grindy BG decks like you mentioned) and I find the pool of good BR cards is so deep that I'd rather have cards that belong in those decks but also contribute to discard/graveyard synergies etc...

My tolerance for OP nonsense is higher in Cube than elsewhere and I haven't found Uro to be too offensive. In other formats it rewards you just for playing Magic - in larger formats everyone has fetchlands and cantrips, in Standard/Historic you fill your deck with cheap interaction in a third...

Liliana, the Last Hope This is a great utility card for any black deck at a higher power level but how obnoxious is it?

This sounds brilliant! Can't wait to try it

Yeah I'm not sure where the point about Vintage Cube is going - even there you won't get anything resembling a Vintage deck unless you're very lucky and the other drafters don't know what you're doing, and it's harder for distinct archetypes to flourish in that environment since it's easier to...

There have to be for the hidden information aspect of Foretell to work properly I think. It may still go the way of Morph in Constructed - where there were only a handful of playable cards and a face-down creature in a green deck was always Den Protector/Deathmist Raptor etc

When I draft your Cube I always feel the graveyard stuff is deep and enticing. I just drafted a pool that could support two different flavours of the same deck (RUG with Rielle etc was another option but lack of fixing limited that) UG: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/5ffef8593227c4089e46a688...

Lands is one of those themes where the cards that care about lands are much better than the lands themselves. Unless you're happy to have cards at the power level of Gaea's Cradle or you want to do wacky stuff with Lotus Field or something, your options are pretty limited beyond the obvious...

There are lots of cards that get a ton of initial hype but don't perform in practice or look good but fight for space with similar cards. Why is ignoring those tradeoffs more constructive?
