    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Good to hear! I'm ok with these changes. A few thoughts thought: Blade of the Bloodchief: I kind of want you to run lifestaff, as its a card i've been on the fence about, but blade of the bloodchief has been good here. Its been really more of a boardstall breaker, though albeit not every...

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Thats funny, I was just thinking it was time to swap out banishment decree, but was unsure what to use. I was just going to run a second excommunicate, as people like that card, but unexpectedly absent looks pretty good.

    Allow me. "Good sirs, I would like to raise again, the subject of treasure cruise v. dig through time. At the recent pro tour, many pros seemed of the opinion that dig through time was just strictly better than treasure cruise, but I am starting to doubt that. If you are like me, and playing...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    After doing another draft, I was wondering if you might consider running an additional copy of each of the tri-lands? It seems like sometimes the packs break in a way where you get lots of on-color fixing, and other times where you get very little. I think part of that is caused by running...

    I was disappointed by the standard meta; it seemed overly draw dependent in the top 8, basially coming down to whether siege rhino was drawn or not, and in what numbers. I did enjoy the draft format though, where Jeremy Dezani drafted the "best deck ever" and than was outplayed by Seth Manfield.

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    I think the other guilds are fine, though I am probably going to take that explore slot and run wild hunger, and the necromancer's cov. slot and run something like colossal might. I don't think R/G needs much help to solidify it as the stompy/Pod color, other than a few trample granting combat...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    First, I think this is a really great cube. I love the approach that you took when designing it, and I can tell that you put a lot of energy in creating it. I took it for a spin, and here are the results: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/206969[/url]"] Ones 1 Boros Elite 1 Doomed Traveler 1...

    Ok, first things first, since we mentioned pod, and I built a strong pod list last night: Ones 2 Champion of the Parish 1 Soldier of the Pantheon 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Avacyn's Pilgrim 1 Firebolt Twos 1 Hellspark elemental 1 Qasali Pridemage 1 Hamlet Captain 1 Generator Servant Threes 1...

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    These are a lot of really good ideas to mull over. The thing I really like here, is that we seem to be toying around with both a theme and a sub theme: B/W humans, and B/W sacrifice, which seems to bleed together, but also bumps up against the vampire and zombie tribes. I'm going to have to...

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Yeah, I think its possible to set some more themes. These are the ones I've toyed with for B/W: 1) B/W humans: while xathrid necromancer is in the cube, there arn't a lot of humans card, and black is already supporting zombies and vampires, making space an issue. 2) B/W life drain...

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Just to beat this into the ground a little more; I think its possible that undying creatures could be ok in the format, just that at the moment its a bit questionable. In the first version of the cube I ran a lot of eldrazi spawn makers alongside the white token makers--on the logic that the...

    Yeah I really like daybreak ranger. I think part of it is that a lot of green's other anti-flying cards are even more iffy.

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I think the key is to have your removal and threat packages structured in such a way where it dosen't feel like the games are attrition based, the game pace dictated by removal exchanges; ultimately decided by whoever can stick a threat during a window where one player lacks an answer. Adding...

    I think these are all great. Keep in mind that transform cards, in their limited environment, were created to provide an incentive for people to play spells. If you are looking for a slower more card advantage feel in your format, they may be a poor choice. Some commentary on each of them...

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Battleground Geist I don't think is a contender. Dictate of heliod is a much better card, but at 5cc it was too clunky to see much play. Its also just very narrow. If it came down to it, I think I would prefer to break singleton on geist of saint traft rather than run Drogskol Captain. The...
