It's not going anywhere :P Just mentioned it as one of the stronger green cards. Regarding Survival, I think it will get the axe as a repeatable tutor effect that has GY synergy is just so busted. I'm not sure that I like the other options though. I would need at least 2-3 Pods to make it a...

I was running Smuggler's Copter in my old power-max cube and even there, he was a beating. Three evasive damage + card selection is really good for 2 (colorless!) mana. The fact that he slots in well almost anywhere makes me think he is a bit overpowered for my current lower power-level card...

Good stuff whobetta, thanks! First thing I want to address is removal. I agree that the stronger the threats in your list, the stronger your removal needs to be. However, I'm not sure that I like my 1CC removal to be on the power level of Path and STP. I'm not comfortable with an opponent...

I'm trying to tighten up the power band in my cube. Here are the top cards from each color I feel: All in all, I think some cards are obviously better than others, but apart from a few, I feel they enhance the draft experience by giving direction. Did I miss anything? Am I way off...

Thanks Chris (and Grillo indirectly I guess!) for the very enlightening comment. - I want to keep mana rocks to a minimum (Wayfarer's Bauble, Mind Stone, Pristine Talisman) and I don't plan on adding any more. That way ramp can stay almost exclusively in green. - Since I play multiplayer...

That's a good point firemaw. Bident of Thassa does the same thing which creates some nice redundancy. However, I don't see much after that. Not card advantage, but I also like Baral's Expertise in MP as it clears away blockers while still allowing you to add to your board. I try and use this...

Thanks for the post whobetta! On drafting: Even though we really like glimpse drafting (and as noted above, I use 90% of my cube each draft), I'll have to try Tenchester once as it seems fun. On games: I'm not sure how much I like the respawn idea to be honest, here's why: In a 3 player FFA...

Thanks for the draft! Wow that really is the greediest deck I've seen yet :P I realize that Entomb is kind of a trap, as I don't have many reanimation spells. However, you can still grab Wonder, Genesis, Bloodghast, Vengevine and flashback cards. I'm considering adding a few reanimation...

Alright after drafting and tweaking this cube more and more, I've come to realize that there are a few cards that annoy me as being too good. To the surprise of no one: Elspeth, Knight-Errant Gideon Jura I'm thinking of swapping Elspeth for Citadel Siege. It's decent in control, scales well in...

I'll bite! That deck looks scary though. Tons of staying power, nice synergies and Balance! Here is a deck I just drafted from my cube: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/698931[/url]"] Ones 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Monastery Swiftspear 1 Path to Exile 1 Reckless Charge Twos 1 Gather the Townsfolk 1...

Do you have examples of the ones that worked and the ones that didn't?

I guess I'll chime in since the example came from my cube. The logic here echoes what Grillo says here G&G are first and foremost an engine to dump cards into the graveyard. The fact that they have a decent body means they'll never be bad and if you get a few zombies they have a huge...

I"m looking for a go wide blue creature. I support spells matters in UR, but no land shenanigans. Meloku the Clouded Mirror vs Docent of Perfection Both have the downside of requiring you to untap to get value, but I"m thinking the Docent is better. The body is serviceable even without a...

Just had one of those satisfying revelations. I"m in the process of laying out what decks I want to support in each guild. In Azorius, I'm looking at: Blink value Go wide opposition Spells matter Control Laying out the cards I notice 2 things 1. There is a lot of overlap between Go wide and...

Spot on. I added G&G because it fills the self-mill and value theme, but forgot to add the zombies that go with it. I'm adding Rotting Rats and Skinrender at the minimum. Geralf's Messenger is just too demanding mana wise, but I like the card.

Oops, maybe it wasn't clear enough, we do glimpse drafting. Essentially, it's 9 packs of 15 cards for each player. Pick one, burn two and pass the pack. You get 5 cards per pack. 9x15=135. 135 x 3 =405 card pool for a 3 player game. That means for each draft, 45 cards are undrafted. It's not a...

Thanks for the draft sigh! I didn't really expect a RB token spell deck to come together, but glad it's possible! Looking at the deck, I feel it's missing some discard payoff. Sure you have a few flashback spells and a Lavamancer, but that's not a lot of value. I tried my hand at your cube for...

So if I'm understanding this right, You are advising me to drop the number of draw spells/cantrips in blue. I count 21 of them (cantrips, filtering, planeswalkers, draw), here is what I could do: Brainstorm Brainstorm Brainstorm -> Thought Scour Dream Twist and something else. Thought Scour to...

Alright! I made some swaps based on the feedback provided here. Mass removal cuts Day of Judgment Mizzium Mortars Earthquake Caldera Hellion Volcanic Fallout Swaps Damnation -> Yahenni's Expertise This leaves me with I love the idea of more conditional mass removal, but I just can't find...

You make some good points GiftsForgiven. I'll try to address a few! - First of all, the amount of blue cantrips is there because I'm trying to get players active from the get go. Looking at blue's curve, there isn't much of interest at 1cc except these cantrips. I should probably just accept...
