    General Archetype Support

    I think it's a function of a couple of things here though; Birthing Pod is one of the decks new drafters of my Cube often fall into (a guy test drafted it on CT and built Cataclysm Pod! <3) and they're typically pretty stoked about the deck. I think the card is just less interesting in slower or...

    Card/Deck Flagstones of Trokair

    Have you found Raze to be playable outside of Flagstones synergy? Very curious to know if it's good for a Cube. e: VVV thanks!

    Card/Deck Human 2-drops

    RBM does and apparently it's great. I've definitely thought about it. Has anyone here actually cubed Skinshifter?

    General Archetype Support

    The kinds of cards I like in cube are generally playable to start with but have a play angle or deckbuilding caveat that lets them do fun and interesting things. The phrasing I've settled on for it has been 'broadly [good] but narrowly [spectacular]' which is a difficult band to lock down, but...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    when I ran it I got to play the 1UUU line of 'okay, flash in snapcaster, blocks, withdraw snapcaster and your last attacker' a few times it ruled also speaking of counterspells somebody tell me not to or i swear to god i'll cube this piece of garbage: Dispersal Shield i'm thinking it's like...

    You can also 'rhystic withdraw' back your creature after it blocks

    also, like, slower but more resilient aggro actually can beat a Wrath, it's one of my favourite things to do in cube actually, ver. indiana jones

    Monastery Mentor, a three-drop, is such a powerful finisher it created a new Vintage archetype. Check out some of the control decks in my cube; they rarely go beyond 4- or 5-mana spells. http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/410576 4 with one 5-drop http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/407810 4 with...

    We had an exciting discussion about combo in cube not too long ago; if you missed it, the thread might be worth checking out. There was a bunch of discussion on how archetypes (using yr definitions here) can meld and supplant each other, 'pulling' the cards in your draft in different directions...

    It's 108 cards; mostly for the Cube, a couple for the ULD (incl. a Riptide Laboratory). After shipping from Hong Kong I paid $25(using a $10-off coupon). If I had to do it again I'd be more careful sourcing HD scans - a couple cards are a little blurry - but I'm happy with the quality. You...

    COMPLETE Custom Sets that are cool.

    It's a first release and kinda bomb-heavy, but this Star Wars cube is pretty cool. It's a tri-colour set with a couple of choice reprints and a high power level (some of the customs obnoxiously so imo but ymmv and if it's story-based maybe that's okay?) Some cards:

    Card/Deck Human 2-drops

    trying out Chief of the Edge asap, wayyy smart idea echoing that Human tribal here is typically WB colours, sometimes it's red and blue and gets either more aggressive or more reactive but the grindy aristocrats version has been the most resilient here too. There's also CoCo humans in green...

    Just switched to it recently, after trying it out when I was testing Dash on a larger scale. Definitely playable, and fun.

    General PWs to Cut and UR spells to run

    the timing restriction brings back memories of the time I cubed Cauldron Dance - so much value but ultimately too conditional. Cauldron Dance is a really fun card, btw where are people at vis a vis running Warleader's Helix alongside Lightning Helix? There's a few extra things it kills but...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    I'm on Nighthawk or Rec. Sage. Dictate is strong but maybe I'll wheel it or the Elves of Deep Shadow.

    General PWs to Cut and UR spells to run

    reminder that Dack's -2 costs {2}{U}{U} and a card itself; he's wayyyyy pushed for Vintage that said i'm interested in hearing how he does!
