There's a serious point there - one of the biggest problems in Cube is that decks often demand Constructed-quality curves with a Limited-quality manabase, and this is more acute the faster your environment is - I actually saw wtwlf say on MTGS that CC cards should have a much higher bar for...

I like both. It depends on what play pattern you want to encourage: if you expect to have multiple dorks in play that get obsoleted quickly, I'd recommend Cloak as it's easy to keep suiting creatures up and always having the biggest thing on the board; if you expect to only have one relevant...

Discard is already sparse enough in Cube that there's no need to punish it; if the discard you run is that oppressive, I'd prefer to cut it (C. Wilt-Leaf Liege)

agree with this being a redeeming feature of Modern; in Cube there's comfortably enough room across Bant colours for a Flash deck like the ones we saw in ISD/RAV Standard

I'm glad someone mentioned Heartbeat, let's all marinate in the glory of this deck for a moment: Ones 4 Sensei's Divining Top Twos 4 Sakura-Tribe Elder 1 Rampant Growth 4 Remand 4 Muddle the Mixture 1 Savage Twister 1 Weird Harvest Threes 4 Heartbeat of Spring 4 Early Harvest 4 Kodama's...

So I believe Jason made a similar thread when first discussing the Eldrazi Domain Cube, but the idea of building around mini-drazi is appealing on a number of levels. - An on-tap morbid trigger can be very useful, both for actual morbid cards (Tragic Slip/Malicious Affliction, Brimstone...

Now that we have surge coming in to join fake surge (Illusory Angel) there might be a real incentive to play Probe. How have we not talked more about Oath of Nissa? It's less exciting for those of us who cut down on planeswalkers, but there's still part of me getting excited at Oath to find...

Geralf's Messenger is great; it's just about castable even if you're splashing another colour, whereas Obliterator demands that you be fully mono-black (and probably without utility lands like Nykthos or Mutavault, which are often a draw to staying in one colour)

New Year drafto earlier! We did an 8-player draft that was us and a bunch of bots, I had a super-sweet 5C Pod deck: Lots of fun lines with this one; I missed a kill where I could Bring to Light for 5 to get Titania, bring back a fetch, then use that mana to Pod Titania into Aurelia We...

This was a fun way to start the year! I ended up with a UWR Control deck with a Jeskai Ascendancy combo finish that looks like a deck I've been trying to support in my Cube: Mystic Confluence is busted

If there are multiple triggers, click the one you want on the bottom of the stack first, then repeat I have most stops except draw step (only turn on for V Clique) and end of combat

too many

great article Jason!

yessssssss

those filthy commies from BTP have infiltrated our thread again

speaking of addictive loops:

not a fan of Vintage Cube BUT sometimes you go T2 Dark Ritual, Seething Song, Sneak Attack -> Emrakul + Griselbrand
