    General Forum upgrade: tomorrow at some point (Sunday, April 25th)

    In a few days we will probably not even notice it anymore. Only thing bothering me is the round shaped profile pic, my Dimir Guildmage is cut off :( Onders pic however seems to be made for that upgrade!

    Another topic: if one handsome member of these boards would create a arena peasant cube, would you draft it online on cc/ct to play a few matches afterwards with these decks (on arena, obviously)?

    Oh yeah, that's another nice way of utilizing it :) Some other non-EtB creatures synergizing with it in my cube are: Fireblade Charger Spikeshot Goblin Den Protector Penumbra Spider Basically all death triggers, obviously. However, I think at it's best it will be in the ninjutsu decks, where...

    I don't think however that the exile clause on Incendiary Flow or Dissipate is really taxing much from your drafters, especially if these clauses are common. They will have to read them, yes, but it's so easily understood that it is more like an added "scry 1" or "draw a card". You shouldn't...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I'd specifically prefer one that isn't a plain removal, as my black section is already good on that. Supernatural Stamina was also the first one I thought about. This can at least be card avantageous with EtB creatures. But are any of those really better than Stamina?

    Maybe you don't have to abandon that strategy? I think complex and simple strategies can co-exist and be equally succesful. Beginners don't tend to draft dredge or madness decks in my cube as well, but a simple aggro, ramp or "I picked everthing with the word flying on it" strategies are...

    What is black's best combat trick? I already run Void Beckoner and Malakir Rebirth, but one is a reanimation enabler/target and the other is basically free as a spell/land, so they both don't really count.

    For the last week or so the activity on tese boards is kinda disappointing. Are you guys all drafting strixhaven? I haven't been too happy with it yet. Quandrix seems unbeatable and Lorehold seems to be barely a thing. I've went 2-1 with two mediocre Silverquill decks and an mediocre Abzan deck...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    The strongest themes in red in my cube are probably madness and goblin tribal. Might this card be just playable? Firefright Mage Played on turn one it can probably get in an attack or two or three. And the effect can be very good, especially when you discard Fiery Temper it to kill their...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'd say the bodyguard is much worse because you have to decide if it's worth pulling the trigger. Sure, if they try to kill your 2-drop you'd rather lose the bodyguard, but then you wont be able to protect your 3-drop. And it's not just removal, with the giver you can chump block for ever, make...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It is still a must-answer-threat (well, it's not directly a threat, but you know what I mean) in most situations, for a single mana! I'd stay clear of it in lower power level cubes like mine.

    That's too true. The trick is to stare at the list less.

    What I dislike about all those gold ramp spells is, that they don't fix your mana. Especially with land based ramp that is a nice bonus. That being said, if you wanted to support 2-color decks explicitly, stuff like Quandrix Cultivator might do a good job. As a comparable example, I run these to...

    Ravnica's 9th District

    I'm at 4 bounce lands per guild now, making the shar/wedge decks a little easier to draft. Simultaneously, I am thinking about adding more moo color cards, bu at this point I'd start to reach out for playables really. I COULD look into 8th edition, as it looks and feels a lot like 9th, but I...

    Ravnica Remastered

    Oh, and you were probably drafting the cube from this thread: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/ravnicas-9th-district.3312/ Can a mod close the thread here? Sorry for creating two, but it was a whole new approach to a similar idea, and also two years later.

    I like Bretagard's Protector a little more if you only have room for one token signpost, but the saga might actually outclass it if populating bigger tokens is a larger possibility. I also really like how it copies artifact tokens as well and not just creature tokens. Value sagas like this are...

    Oh, okay. Well, at least we know that it's been working on. I will wait then, it's not like I get a lot of cubing done these days anyway.

    The shopping assistant on cardmarket doesn't seem to work anymore for quite a while now. It always says my want list must not have more than 20 cards on it, yet this never was aproblem before when I had even more than my current 78 wants on the list. Anyone having similar troubles?
