    Withdraw + Archaeomancer = "Capsize" for {2}{u}{u}{u}{u} :) (yes I know Withdraw only hits creatures, and no, I don't endorse Capsize)

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    Yeah, green ramp followed suit in my cube. Green gets to ramp starting on turn 2, nongreen decks on turn 3 :)

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    This is an excellent question, in fact one I have answered for myself. For my cube I decided that I didn't want a wrath before turn 4, the interesting thing is that this not only had impact on my choice of wrath effects, but also on my mana acceleration! Think about it, Azorius Signet into Wrath...

    Trying out new stuff in my updated even warlock list to hilarious results. Just transformed an opponent's Amara with a Demonic Project. Turns out deathrattle priest isn't fantastic without the big taunt and massive life buff :')

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Has been surprisingly decent in my cube. The scry, the big butt, the low cmc, and the lifelink all add up to a valuable cog in the {u/b} artifact deck.

    General Random Stack Design (e.g. Battlebox)

    Yes, that's a perfectly viable option and one that I currently use as well. I included the house rule on the spot after an unforeseen interaction between Deprive (I meant to include Familiar's Ruse) and Brainbite came up during play. I think there's some interesting lines of play when you can...

    General Random Stack Design (e.g. Battlebox)

    That is pretty much what I did for my battlebox. It's seen little use lately, but there's a list on CT I believe... Yes! http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/13646 I designed my Battle Box with one golden rule in mind. Make sure it matters in which order you play your ten lands. Ok...

    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    Certainly, I do run some, I simply make sure blue's card draw options aren't all raw card advantage, that blue's not the only color with good card draw options, and that blue's card draw suite is not head and shoulders above the other colors.

    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    Well, this is one of the reasons blue can get away with less creatures, because it has the superior draw spells. That said, you want to spread the love around. In my 450 cube the following cards draw more than one card (so, real card advantage) green has almost as many options as blue, and blue...

    I tried the Homunculus, and it didn't do much before, but I still have some hopes for it. Tell me if it plays well and I might give it another shot! :)

    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    Also, except for spells matter and hard control, decks ideally run at least 12 creatures, preferably more, which only leaves room for so many spells. The creature to spells ratio in most of my colors reflects this, it's approximately 3:2, except in blue and the blue multicolor slots, which is...

    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    I didn't calculate an ideal ratio.

    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    Yeah, I'ld say the problem is that you have a limited amount of slots for non-instants / non-sorceries, and you want use those slots to either be game-changers or cards that shore up a weakness in your deck. This is neither of those. It's a value engine, but you're much better off using instants...

    General Flickery (Not Featuring J. Scott)

    No problem! I will say I originally chose this particular color wheel, because I don't much cared for the available multicolor options in {w/u}. Before my current cube I had one with a WRUBG color wheel. WotC printed a few pretty cool Azorius cards since I picked the color wheel for my cube...

    General Flickery (Not Featuring J. Scott)

    I run a cube based on one of Jason's old articles where he discussed solutions for better multicolor support. One of his options was to shuffle up the color wheel and only support the (now) allied colors, which is what I did. I currently run a WBURG cube, so white and blue are no longer adjacent...
