So Coercive Portal is among the best cards in my cube right now, to the point where my playgroup thinks that, as a difficult to answer permanent, it's worthy of a ban. The advantage accrued over a game that goes long is impossible to keep pace with, and it's worth the extra mana over Phyrexian...

I think you can stick to singleton, and aim for somewhere in the neighbourhood of 450 to 500 cards. I'd probably start by removing a lot of the redundant three and four drops - there is no way blue needs that many fours! - and shaving down the gold sections to maybe four per guild. Again...

It's mostly that Infest/Drown in Sorrow aren't very efficient sweepers, and Black Sun's Zenith is a full turn slower than either of these. And when you go up to five mana for a sweeper, you generally want to be clearing the board. If you're staring down a midrange green opponent with Obstinate...

ENCHANT WORLDS! AND BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T NEED CREATURES, WE USED SUMMON SPELLS!

Birds, Commune -> Tasigur? I run Grisly Salvage but it has not been a hit over here :(

So a cube built around these guys? Granny's Payback Old Fogey

Bitterblossom Spellstutter Sprite

i think the set release is a delayed trigger, a la Banishing Light, and therefore isn't affected by Song of the Dryads how this affects your 3/2 on the board though i have no idea. get an L2 in here, stat

wait, are we saying that triggered abilities change in the summer, or next year

I think this set is a little worse than normal for a large set in terms of cube inclusions, though I suppose the last large set that didn't come out in the fall, Gatecrash, was even more underwhelming. Still holding out for a good, cheap rebound spell! Btw Liliana, Heretical Healer comes out...

The thing that gives Netrunner such a steep learning curve, in my eyes, is its emphasis on non-standard vocabulary to denote each of the game pieces and game zones. Then it doubles that burden by having the runner and the corp's pieces and zones be completely different from one another. It's a...

It didn't help that STORMblood Berserker was in the same standard environment, and that the natural thing to do was curve one into the other (while keeping your pronunciations straight).

Oh god green defender + wall theme in cube go go go I already wanted to run all of these, maybe now I can Overgrown Battlement Sylvan Caryatid Wall of Blossoms Wall of Roots Carven Caryatid

I know you want to stick close to the formula established by the MTGO Legacy cube, but I might recommend slimming down the cube from its considerable girth of 600 cards, to something closer to 540, or even 500. At 600, it's actually harder to implement themes, as key archetype build-arounds show...

For those of us who don't run Kargan Dragonlord anymore, this guy offers a decent alternative, that requires less red mana at once!

Welcome to the forums! Assorted thoughts: I don't like mixing Champion of the Parish themes with Steppe Lynx themes, as there really isn't enough room in a 360 list to do both well. I would choose either humans or landfall as the direction you want to go for white weenie, and then press the...

Dualcaster Mage is really awkward to use on someone else's spells - for the same reason that trying to keep up Cancel mana really constrains what you can do - but he might be okay if you manage to draft a sufficient number of cheap spells yourself. He's on the chopping block, though, as he's no...

While it's true you can't ever get the Blightning 3-for-1, I think this command offers enough versatility - at instant speed! - to make up for the lack of raw power. I might be one of the last people running Blightning around here, and in low-curve, high-speed cubes, nuking a walker comes up...

This is... way better than Rakdos Charm!

Defensive red creatures are always something I'm on the lookout for, as a way to open up different avenues for the colour. But it contributing zippity zip to the formidable count on its own means it's asking a lot out of you.
