    Probably. Sounds like a stupid cube with a stupid owner. Is CT still the go-to site? Not one of the other ones I've seen around?

    Opportunistic Dragon has a stupid name, but is otherwise pretty cool. It's a wild animal. Every wild animal takes every opportunity it can get or it will die. Just a nitpick, but the name should be focused on the kidnapping aspect more than the opportunity for a fucking dragon to overpower a 1/1...

    Risk Factor Did anyone use this? Hit or miss?

    True. I can see both CCCs so far having an impact on standard. They both doing something quite interesting. But cube is the only format that matters lol. Ya, but the decks that are gonna use it will get the only creature on the board that can win a combat and will be built to take advantage of...

    Congrats to anyone who makes the blue variant of my black cube. Looks like we have a cycle of near-unplayables with CCC in the cost. That said, one of the two main other cube ideas I kick around is color-slanted as well and I could potentially utilize most of this cycle. But basically no one...

    Ha! Beat you by a few minutes! Rushed over when I saw it so I'd be first in.

    P/T=2/3 You already knew I'd be posting this. Devotion, sac outlet, generally useful. Easy add for me.

    I ran UB aggro on Sunday. Decided to go all-in, full on aggro deck, 6 1 drops, Bazaar Trademage, full on beaters with some yard interaction. The deck won't really operate like that unless you picked up quite a few yard-freebies like Bloodghast and Prized Amalgam to really up your clock, but...

    This is my mostly black cube, in shitty cell phone pic form cus I haven't made a CT link: https://imgur.com/a/mCfaGsS It's also possible your players need to learn to branch out. Those cards you listed vary wildly on power level.

    This : Hostage Taker :: Flame Slash : FTK And you'll note that Flame Slash had to cost 1 mana to be good. This would have been decent if given a 2/3 body, probably. A bad Sin Collector, but I personally feel that Sin is a bit too quick for an ETB +1. I don't really like immediate value too...

    I'm on mobile so it'll be quick but I have to post this guy This is so good for the black cube. The gentle yard removal is exactly what I've been looking for, as "exile all" is too harsh for my environment and there's relatively few cards that have a mild yard disruption on them. The UB decks...

    General The stick rule

    I try to cycle through the types of decks I'll play so that I can see where they need help. I learned a lot about UB aggro and my cube's aggro in general tonight, for example. I'll also frequently go into the draft already intending to test Deck X because I anticipate it may either be a bit...

    100% chance I'm pre-boarding on some glasses if Beeble were in my cube.

    I have a hard time buying that conclusion when the winningest cards are a broken accelerant, an ETB hand wrecker, one utility card, an ETB +1 with tempo, and a massive burn spell. I consider all of those but Jet to be pretty high powered cards that I'd frequently take over most things. It's...

    Thank God @ Train. Guess the spots I looked mostly had the fancy ones. The fancier ones do look REALLY nice, for the most part. I've been running Haakon and a handful of friends for quite a while in BW. Any knights they give us are big to me.

    Anyone else annoyed that there's plenty of space for adventure reminder text on a lot of these cards and they chose not to put it? I either have to not use adventures or explain it to every player who doesn't constantly attend to new card types who uses my cube.

    Ya. Black cube loves them. Enables mono-black and 2c decks are really common. Hoping for some good ones. The UW is a decent mid power +1 and the RW is maybe a combat nightmare, similar to a shade. Right around the power level I'm looking to be at, I think. Sometimes I have a hard time...

    It was a joke cus the hybrid conversation just ruined the other thread lol. Although now we have Vandal vs New Guy in this thread. Can't escape the minutia.

    I think a lot of the X/1 fliers for X are pretty valid, depending on the environment. Getting a couple free 2-3 point hits is a nice chunk. You could even do WU fliers, which has several decent lords. Also, Adeliz, the Cinder Wind plus Stormchaser Mage is easy UR aggro. Pteramander, depending.

    Black cube is looking forward to adamant for black and some quad-hybrid goodies. Really excited for those to push my devotion theme after I didn't get them in RTR. Lots of sweet stuff so far. Also a lot of stuff for my secondary cube idea. Which will continue to torture me as I continue to not...
