    2-1'd (due to absurd mana issues, i straight crushed all my rematches) the modo pez cube again with mardu aggro. No real synergy, but Boros Charm, Blood Artist and Brimstone Volley were MVPs. now i'm 7-2 in the cube for matches and 22-7 in games. peasant is fun! 4-man draft (with packs of 15...

    Gamble is a weird card. I've played it in Constructed - Jund Depths (great) and an Aggressive Mining brew (terrible) - so I feel kinda qualified to speak to its strengths but tbh i'm a scrub who knows nothing so caveat lector Gamble is pretty strong. It's a powerful tutor that sometimes just...

    oh hey if we're talking about LSV vids, check him out in the VSL with Fastbond/Doomsday. Not saying very much but he turn 1 kills game one and it's beautiful, g2 is much closer but still almost no contest. god i love doomsday (match starts at 8:04)

    Flashback back-to-back drafter's hat 'this or that'

    This seems like a fun forum game, and you're all lucky I stopped the title as early as I did. Here's the idea: 1. Go to your saved decks on Cubetutor, and sort by date (oldest first). 2. Pick an early draft you don't really like; whether that's an archetype you've gained critical distance from...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    If you don't run rituals it seems like a fairer 'fair yawg will' but if you do, or have several strong cheap spells available, it's incredibly dangerous. That's my opinion, anyway. Plus, the flashback on Past in Flames is one of the bigger reasons to play the card imo, it gives you a redundant...

    General Is this a deck?

    i like to put a good card with another good card in my decks but i'm old fashioned like that. Stromkirk Noble already has some pretty relevant evasion on him in many limited environments, I don't think waiting until turn 4 (turn 3 with a mox!) is necessary

    yeah, but there's other ways that don't rely on running a ton of pump spells. Mox Diamond adds more explosive starts and resiliency, and only requiring one Berserk makes it easier to draw into the combo kill and doesn't dilute your deck as much. Heck, if we're talking dream scenarios let's go...

    General MTGO 'Vintage Cube'

    so I realized why calling this the Vintage Cube was irking me, on a level beyond the facile '9 pieces of power in 540 cards' thing. It's because I remembered Mike Lucas, who actually keeps a "Vintage Constructed Cube" of his own and plays 60-card games. (if you draft a card not on the Vintage...

    I tried your original version but only had to chain cascade once (ending with Ancestral Vision, gross) to want a different version. Maybe I jumped the gun a little but even a single cascade is good, let alone cascading 4>2>1 every turn. Also my roommate isn't super good with the stack and the...

    Wildfire, a slow bomb-heavy cube, big sorcery-speed draw If you're okay with custom cards I'm pretty stoked about the faster-yet-clearly-still-busted Izzet Pyrocrat, though I haven't gotten to test it yet.
