I ran Fae for a while when my cube was at a lower power level, but I never really considered it at higher power levels. You think it scales up fairly well? It’s a blast to play with…in a way it feels like an improved Mystical Teachings

Drafted this fun take on the delve/discard control deck in the Higher Powered Draft. The Squee, Goblin Nabob + Master of Death combo with The Underworld Cookbook + Currency Converter + Bazaar of Baghdad is really scratching my Zombie Infestation itch. Having so many cost-reduced creatures...

Ohhhh...I misread Baba Lysaga....I thought it was a mandatory three card sacrifice, didn't catch the "up to" wow, that's so much better than I realized. I may have to make room for it now. Is Virus Beetle too low-powered? It makes all opponent's discard, but it might be too low impact for the...

I do. My playgroup has historically not had an issue with graveyard ordering. That may change now that I have moved and have to find new group of people to play with. I avoid mass graveyard exiling as it is such an extreme hoser in this environment. The slow untargeted repeatable effect +...

All good comments! Thanks for the reply! My issue with these cards is they want a cube structure optimized for spell velocity. My cube operates on a slightly different axis being so reliant on sacrifice, discard, and dredge for acceleration and value rather than casting spells in volume. I...

I want a viscera seer with surveil something fierce

"Lord Inscho..." My eyelids struggle to open. "a raven from Lord Velrun has arrived!" I roll over in a pile of my own sick, hungover from a night of debauchery at my annual Bocce Ball Birthday Bash ™ I mutter under my breath: "must need something...it's the only time I hear from him" "What...

Similar to Shams, basketball is a bit of a passion for me. I played a lot when I was in school, and reconnected with it in my 30s by getting into the NBA, and playing pickup in Philly. Pickup basketball in a big city was a pretty refreshing experience as someone that grew up primarily in the...

Didn’t realize there was cards left to spoil when I made my test list. I’ll definitely be testing the purse

So only the hipsters know me

Some quick SNC swaps: Out: Ghostly Pilferer Sinister Concoction Prized Amalgam Bag of Holding In: Ledger Shredder Lethal Scheme Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer Currency Converter These are fairly easy substitutions/upgrades. I'll miss the way Amalgam weaponizes the dredge deck, but there's only so...

I think you run most of the pieces that scale up to your power level: Breya's Apprentice Pia and Kiran Nalaar Cranial Plating Nettlecyst Mayhem Devil Greater Gargadon Arcbound Ravager Scraheap Scrounger Scrap Trawler Goblin Welder Goblin Engineer Blade of Oni Experimental Synthesizer Smuggler...

I think Altar demands even more of a deck build than vortex which really just wants you to be aggressive.....especially in this environment since you aren't sacrificing your team to drop Emrakul into play. Altar has always been a fringe include for my cube, and is on the chopping block, because...

I’m finally settled in enough for a belated response. I appreciate you taking the time to do such a thorough write-up. It’s a rare treat! I’m going to elaborate on some of this later (typing this paragraph last as I initially missed this while typing on my iPhone). Bridging the hate-bearsy...

Certain: None Near Certain: None Uncertain but Interested: Baba Lysaga, Night Witch Interested but Doubtful: Sailors’ Bane Altar of Bhaal Mahadi, Emporium Master Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes Unsurprisingly, this set is a dud for contributions to my cube. Seems like a great set for a peasant...

I wish I had a personal manifesto to share, but my thoughts are not that organized. However, I've established some quick personal guidelines in the 5+ years I've been tinkering with the GCC (some of which will be irrelevant when using customs): - Establish a handful of broad themes that will...

Things have been super hectic since the draft 4/18...so much that it's been hard to find time to do anything online. @landofMordor I'm going to wait to respond to your thoughtful post until I have a little more mental bandwidth. It was great to have you out, and I really wish we had gotten more...

I run a compact red recursive critter suite of: flamewake phoenix Phoenix of ash Ox of agonas I like this package as Ash and Ox can both trigger Ferocious on Flamewake and only require cards in the graveyard to recur. To keep the graveyard full I run a host of red looting spells: faithless...

That's definitely good lol
