Newest list up here, lmk what you think. I'll be doing a few more writeups soon. It's frustrating that I can't draft it irl right now because the AI on Cubetutor doesn't give you a good indication of what draft decks look like, so I have no idea if archetypes are properly supported.

Tried to do a draft on the Beta Client just now. MODO crashed in the middle of pack 1, leaving me with a bad deck with two packs worth of bad cards in a bad Cube that couldn't win a match if its life depended on it. I feel sorry for the poor customer service lackey who has to deal with all of...

if I can win my ongoing battle with technology and stinginess I might stream a draft later, idk

As obvious as it might sound, Jitte and Skullclamp are only OP in an environment where they're the most unfair things. They don't stack up well against the likes of Upheaval or Griselbrand.

What's the distinction between Cube Academy topics and normal articles? When I think of educational resources, I think mainly of more abstract pieces about design rather than specific ideas (like sac-based black)

Feel even more incoherent than usual atm, so quick thoughts on each: - Grafted Wargear > Swords and probably > Jitte imo as well. - Batterskull is powerful and interactive without being oppressive: it's not like Baneslayer Angel where it just dominates the board on its own, and it often...

We have a winner, fellas. 'Polukranus, World Eater'...

I feel like Chandra's going downhill. Chandra Nalaar, you get what it says on the tin. Her name's Chandra Nalaar, so the card's called Chandra Nalaar. Very functional, almost German. Then we got Chandra Ablaze, which is cool because HOLY SHIT SHE'S ON FIRE SOMEONE HEL... oh, that's the point...

Mogg War Marshal is solid

How has Ancient been? I never really saw it as a potential Cube card but given that my Cube has 3+ Heartbeat effects in it that's probably an error. 7/5 is pretty beefy as well.

Tempo at its best (think Faeries) involves being able to change the direction of a game quickly. Often you'd mess around killing guys and countering spells, then play a Clique into Scion or w/e and suddenly they have three turns to find an answer against your cheap and plentiful disruption or...

The fact that he's extrapolating Cube results to Constructed given how carefully Pyromancer forces you to construct your deck tells you all you need to know.

Maze of Ith is eminently fair IMO. I wouldn't call an indestructible Blinding Mage overpowered (and it's worse than that a fair bit of the time). Cards I hate are Black Vise and Ankh of Mishra. They rarely lead to interesting or fun board states; I'm happy to run a card like Nether Void, which...

^that

voluntarily playing Brawl over Melee is grounds for excommunication in my book

Him beating Leffen earlier was awesome

^confirmed

That's definitely true, but the fact that it's hybrid is really nice.

If I asked myself what effect I'd want a 4/4 for 3(R/G) to have to make it viable for Cube, I'd probably set the bar much lower than Rosheen. Obviously her ability is very specialized, but I kinda like that: she doesn't just go in any deck, and when she's good she's very good.
