Forbid has always been borderline oppressive for me but YMMV

I've seen a few people on VMA-highs wish that Slide were a thing in Cube, and CML mentioned considering it for the article contest a while back, so here we go. Astral SlideAstral Slide The obvious place to start is the cycling lands, which are essentially free for deckbuilding and add a lot...

and because EDH players have serious problems

I fully approve of double Looter.

Boom // Bust For those of you running lots of fetchlands I would definitely give this card a try. Also, as part of my recent 'cut all the aggro cards and replace them with gold cards' kick, I've been liking: Sedraxis Specter

I like most of this. I would caution that, while players indeed mostly don't give a fuck about the structure of the Cube, you have to be somewhat aware of the expectations that a perceptive drafter is going to have/acquire. As designers we're omniscient regarding the contents of our Cubes, and...

Early thoughts: - With guaranteed land drops each turn your hand fills up very quickly, so you need a lot of cheap cards to a. dump your hand more quickly, b. have more decisions to make on any given turn, and c. ensure your basics/Guildgate sequencing actually matters (e.g. if you have...

ditto many of the Level Up guys; really anything that lets you incrementally spend spare mana

I love Courser. I just love lands in general, especially anything that lets me play extra lands or lands from different (/erogenous) zones. Oracle of Mul Daya is delightful. Halimar Depths for the land draft? Valakut with Prismatic Omen or Scapeshift in the Cube?

Play Lavamancer with the Torment art, play Spikeshot Elder too (it's got a lot better with Bestow if that's your thing)

you take that back motherfucker

Capsize is clunky and slow unless it's absolutely dominating, which makes it really awkward either way. Genesis Wave is a really fun card, but I'm wary of including the less powerful X spells or the really expensive mana sinks (Eldrazi) when they don't fit in normal control decks.

fuck Stephen Fry

I've always had a soft spot for mana doublers, being one of the few holdouts to still play Mirari's Wake. Sadly, 5 mana of multiple colours at sorcery speed is a lot to commit for that effect, especially when the tacked-on Anthem is often irrelevant; sure, you almost certainly win if you untap...

the worst part of this thread is easily the 'YOU' in the title the actual 1U Twincast is sweet though

Betting is a mechanic of the game. The game is configured to have hidden information in a way that injects an element of skill. That's a feature of the game, not a byproduct. A form of poker in which you always won by having the best hand would be dull (and 'having the best hand' is entirely a...
