I was browsing cubes for discovery/learning purposes and I saw quite a few with Auriok Salvagers What surprised me was that some of these cubes were quite high powered and didn't feature the typical Lion's Eye Diamond. I always assumed that without the combo it would be too slow and...

So I got to test the cube out this Friday. We weren't supposed to be playing with my cube, but something came up with the other so I had to scramble to get all the cards together and sleeved. We were 3 players and so we drafted 9 packs of 15 cards each, picking one and burning two for each pick...

Counters and GY is a tough one indeed. There is Travel Preparations in Selesnya which is actually solid and ties into the berserkers archetype. In blue you have Benthic Biomancer that could be an interesting looter. Puppeteer Clique could be a fun one if you can mill your opponent. Golgari...

Thanks for the draft! Deck looks really solid for my environment. You have a lot of plays to gain value over the course of the game and to grind out a table of 2-3 opponents. I was just curious if it felt too "on rails" or if you feel you could have gone a different direction? The +1/+1...

Just curious, what is the reason behind the absence of Lingering Souls? Goes in pretty much all your Orzhov archetypes and seems right at home in a GY cube.

One card that fits very nicely in this discussion is Life from the Loam. I don't know how good this is as they can just give you the Loam + land, so you would need some Deep Analysis type cards to round out the Gift piles. Need a creature? These two cards plus the creature in question gives it...

At this point I'm just spamming everyone, but tough cookies :P I wanted to share 3 UG decks that I built from the latest changes to my list. I built a creature-centric one, a spell based one and a generic good stuff. Here is the creature deck. It's a ramp, ETB hybrid. I said I wanted to watch...

So things are getting more and more refined and I'm getting pretty happy with my white section. I added an ETB package in white with: Syndic of TithesOketra's MonumentAnafenza, Kin-Tree SpiritShrine of Loyal LegionsKor SkyfisherStonecloakerMentor of the MeekParadox EngineCloudstone Curio...

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I think you are right, that even though it's a late game engine, it's a slow one that probably won't have time to shine in my cube due to the pressure from the pressure of high power level and the fact it's a multiplayer environment. I've been trying to...

Izoni, Thousand-Eyed Is this too close to Spider Spawning? Because it has tokens, sacrifice, life gain, has synergy with dredge and is a ramp payoff. Catacomb Sifter Ramp, tokens and sacrifice all in one could be an option as well. Otherwise I agree with Onder, Deathreap Ritual is great.

I agree with ravnic, the Bloodhall Priest is a good signal for the self-discard. None of the others really scream reanimator. Maybe Torrent of Souls could signal that better? As for your artifact aristocrats theme there is one card that does it all, but it's a 3 mana planeswalker and I don't...

Drafted the Ravnica cube: Started with a stinkweed imp then P1P2 saw a doorkeeper. Tried to draft around that and got the following. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1102577[/url]"] Ones 1 Codex Shredder Twos 1 Doorkeeper 1 Doorkeeper 1 Last Gasp 1 Lurking Informant 1 Remand 1 Surveilling Sprite...

Thanks for the draft ravnic! Kind of disappointed that the deck looks so generic, but that's not your fault, it's mine! I will try and play around with the reanimation spells to make things more spicy. I also probably need to cut on discard/reanimation support because it looks like you have...

To further my previous post, I realized I didn't mention Temur. I see this as mostly a value pairing where you try to use your lands as fodder for the various discard outlets (Faithless Looting, Chart a Course, Looter Il-Kor, ...). You don't mind discarding those lands since you will be getting...

There is just so much quality information in this forum that I sometimes have to snap myself out of it lest I "waste" a whole day reading up on cube. Anyways, found this post about broad archetypes in cube design. It makes a lot more sense than either the guild or shard approaches. So I'm going...

So I drafted this thing a bunch, made some adjustments, drafted some more and now I have some more insight. First of all, screw most planeswalkers. I know this is a popular view around here, but I couldn't see it until I wanted to highlight other cards. They do a lot of work for very little...

For those who have tried it, I'd like some input on Faith's Reward I'm trying to give my Selesnya section a direction and I was interested in "destroy the board" archetype. Basically you jam white hate cards and use green's recursion to break the symmetry. I know this isn't considered fun by...

Started off with a Teysa, Orzhov Scion which is a card I had forgotten, but that I really enjoy. Followed that with a Dusk // Dawn and then a Marionette Master which is one of my favorite cards of the moment. From there I looked to draft something coherent. I gambled on Steel Overseer early as...

Hi, I am (re)building a multiplayer cube and reading your thread it appears that you play MP too! If you have the time I'd like to ask you a few questions: - Do you play free for all MP games or do you use another rule? - You have many 1 drop dudes, many of which have relevance later in the...

I'm trying to get a handle on my Orzhov decks and there are 2 main ones that emerge: Tokens and Good stuff (control or midrange). www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1093314[/url]"] Ones 1 Chromatic Star 1 Swords to Plowshares 1 Swords to Plowshares Twos 1 Bitterblossom 1 Hidden Stockpile 1 Zulaport...
