    General Counterspells

    I like counters that are versatile (so I can do things if my opponent chooses to play around the counterspell) Supreme WillCryptic CommandThassa's InterventionMiscalculationCensor or cheap (so I can cast other cheap spells to advance my game plan and still hold up protection)...

    General Small archetype packages

    Popular and easy to include packages I've found around here: Green GY Lands Life from the LoamRamunap ExcavatorCrucible of Worlds Titania, Protector of ArgothMultani, Yavimaya's Avatar I've found that if you support a GY theme in green at all, you already want to play the following as...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'd like opinions/comments on the inclusion (or not) in my cube of Yawgmoth's Will This feels fair with only Dark Ritual in the cube and would be a late game card for my format. I am trying to cement spells matter or at least spell velocity in black. Right now I have 3 cards that fit the...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    I did a couple of drafts and I really liked all the possibilities your cube offers. I noticed a few cards that stood out to me as either potential cuts or swaps: Miraculous Recovery: Instant speed is cool, 5 mana is not. +1/+1 counter is cool, again, 5 mana is not! Have you tested Elspeth...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    @TrainmasterGT The fact that I play the card in my cube should be a testament to the fact that I do feel the card is powerful. I just chose to say 6 drop since that is where I put it on my spreadsheet, but you are right that it does often play out like a 4 drop (just like Rampaging Baloths is...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I really enjoy it for a few reasons. - Green 6 drops are actually pretty crappy. Primeval TitanHonored HydraMultani, Yavimaya's Avatar If you do not support super ramp or don't have many special lands then Primeval Titan is good but not great. The ETB on Earthshaker Giant is likely better...

    New year, new... Cube?

    What stood out drafting your cube was the 3 CC mana rocks (especially when seen next to green 1CC mana elves) and Sundering Shaman with the GGRR mana cost. The latter seems hard to cast on curve for a mediocre effect and the former seem slow compared to the speed of your cube. The mono blue deck...

    General W/B Lifegain

    After revisiting the minimalist artifact theme thread, I wanted to see if I could pull this off for the life gain deck. I am looking for cards that will fit in multiple archetypes and not stand out as overly narrow in the draft. I play at a high power level and wanted outside opinion on all of...

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    I agree they are never super high picks, but they can really tie a deck together and I'm not just talking about the artifact deck. Here is a quick list of where I would like to play them. Prowess Monastery MentorSeeker of the WayNiblis of FrostSaheeli, Sublime ArtificerMonastery...

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    The first thing I did, was to dump as many artifacts/artifact creating cards as possible into my cube without them being narrow. For example, Thirst for Knowledge is a amazing in a deck filled with artifacts. However, it is also great in a deck with few of them too. Galvanic Blast is the same...

    New year, new... Cube?

    I'm liking most of these changes except for the Spear of Heliod one. You just added Heroic as a keyword, so I think you should keep your artifact count up, even if less elegant. It's these kinds of little things that add up and create a deeper format!

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Managorger Hydra Can get huge pretty quickly, has trample and ties into counters or spells. Rishkar, Peema Renegade Buffs two guys, counters synergy and ramp. I like the fact he plays well in aggro and midrange. The First Iroan Games This thing is pretty aggro as well. Attack for 4 on...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I don't have much experience with the cards mentioned above (except that Earthshaker Khenra and Pia Nalaar are great). I was wondering about a multiplayer special Disrupt Decorum I know this isn't a multiplayer forum, but thought I try my luck anyways. The card seems great at breaking board...

    General The Draft Exchange

    Thanks for the draft! The deck looks gas. You have draw, removal and powerful cards. I can see Scuttling Doom Engine ending many games :P I really should remove my cube from my signature as my playgroup wanted more good stuff and less synergy which is a step away from the Riptide philosophy...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I like my burn spells to be cheap and ideally have some late game value. I also greatly favor instants since it leads to more decisions which I try to promote. 1CC Galvanic BlastBurst LightningFireboltLightning Bolt Lightning Bolt doesn't fit my criteria, but gets there on sheer power and...

    General The Draft Exchange

    I did a draft of your cube and drafted a cool Simic deck. What I noticed is that you have almost zero removal in that color pair. You could chose from among some fight cards: Voracious Hydra is boss, Wicked Wolf is good too. In blue you have some bounce, but I'd love to see cards like Psionic...

    New year, new... Cube?

    I don't know how to post decklists from CubeCobra, but here is one I drafted that I felt was pretty sweet: UG artifacts. I like trying things your cube isn't supposed to do (green isn't an artifact color), and I think it's a good deck (though Mystic Snake + Crystal Shard can be miserable)...

    General The Draft Exchange

    What worked for me was making these two things overlap: make my artifacts be aristocrat cards. That way you have 2 options: 1. Have a "regular" aristocrat deck that doesn't have any artifact synergies 2. Have an artifact aristocrat deck. I think it was dbs that coined the term "artifactify an...

    General The Draft Exchange

    Thank you for the draft and the details on how you ended up with the deck. This looks like a real solid deck for my environment. You have 2 of the most powerful cards in my cube: Urza and Oko (which are on a watchlist), as well as draw, removal and counters. Very nicely done!

    Cataclysm You didn't mention why you wanted to cut Ravages, but this is a strong aggro build around if you don't mind blowing up lands. History of Benalia Token synergy and semi wrath-proof, this a good card! Gideon Blackblade You already have a bunch of planeswalkers, but this guy...
