    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I forgot Braids doesn't hit enchantments. Makes sense given she's black but I always forget she's not "smokestack on stick". Anyways, some small tweaks. First, I'm adding some of the adventure cards I've mentioned: Murderous Rider Order of Midnight Student of Warfare -> Giant Killer...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Oh it's not. What I meant to say is: If it doesn't make it in this kind of hatebear decks, is it really worth the space? Consider the following. Imagine instead of Charming Prince we had Kor Skyfisher for a total of four removal options (Collective Defiance, Kor Skyfisher, Smokestack, Braids)...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Today I had a perfect change to roll out my cube with a friend but I couldn't because it doesn't exist in reality. We played Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, so it was still great but I wanted to give the cube a whirl. Anyways, small tweaks and changes: OUT Elvish Reclaimer Vessel of...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    What's worse than having to work? Having to work for free. Woo, interships! Forunately, I could take some cube notes on the train back home. Like I mentioned, I've decided to run 4 guild cards and see how things work out. One of the reasons is that 3 felt a bit short. With 4 cards I can give...

    First, Suifococ's cube. Your cube is similar to mine in many ways and it's quite streamlined so I don't have much to suggest. Restoration Gearsmith This is a card I keep coming back, only to end up cutting it again. It's fine and it reads well but I keep walking away unhappy because it's a...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    It's time for MASSIVE TWEAKS OUT Collected Company All Suns' Dawn Countless Gears Renegade Trade Routes Collected Company and All Suns' Dawn seem two of the easiest cuts as far as green support goes. The latter is kind of greedy and the former is nice, but not needed for any deck to...

    A weird comparison. WHich one would you choose alongside Talrand, Sky Summoner to support URW spells? Crow Storm Jhessian Thief

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Let's keep working! I've been thinking and comparing about my cube with other cubes and I've come to the conclusion it needs some streamlining. It's not bad, but it does not flow as smoothly as I had hoped. While I'm not sure of the exact reasons, I can picture a couple: - Too many...

    I really like Wrath of Sod. What an interesting design! It would need tons of development, though.

    I really, really love these cards. They feel so much like something out of Cosmic Encounter more than Magic. Love them :)

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    All right, so I'm taking Nanonox' advice to heart and making some changes. OUT Quicksmith Rebel Burning-Tree Emissary Lightning Mauler Gravecrawler Anje's Ravager Quicksmith Rebel has been dissapointing. He's solid, but he has too much competition to shine. First, if you are into artifacts...

    I didn't play back then, but getting your creatures repeatedly Submerged must have not been very fun. I mean, free hate-spells sounds...painful. Massacre is brutal, dropping a sweeper and keeping a counterspell up must be a hard move! By the way, playing Stasis and seeing your opponent...

    Sure. I do not think highly of the whole Leyline mechanic. The whole idea behind it is that you can get a enduring effect for free if you have it in your initial hand. Free spells are already questionable but making them free based on the luck of the draw is kind of dumb. In practice, they...

    Leyline of Abundance is a shitty design so I won't miss it.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks for the thoughts Nanonox! Now that you mention it, it does seem totally true. I actually looked into Legion Warboss and the like, but they looked kind of snowbally so I dismiss them . Now that I've played with and against it in Standard and saw how they work, I think it's fine to add...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've booked several weeks of boardgames and L5R so I have even more time to polish my cube. First, I built this "Lands deck" that is much stronger than it seems at first glance: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1194664[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Zuran Orb Ones 1 Burst Lightning 1 Elixir of Immortality 1...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Job search, 18XX and Dune have taken most of my time lately but I wanted to work on the cube a bit. It's going to take some time for me to be able to get it done physically so I've been able to change some slots and experiment. There have been no important changes, though. I've just added more...
