    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    In all fairness, I think you should try it, especially if you've never run it before. There is something of a novelty to running busted cards every now and then, and until you appreciate a card's brokenness for yourself, it's hard to gauge the card's power level on other people's evaluations...

    It doesn't take much to break Recurring Nightmare. Even just a Thragtusk leads to a near infinite loop of lifegain, tokens, and broken dreams.

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Based mostly on your recommendations, I acquired a copy of her and am looking forward to testing her out next week. Can't wait!

    General stock cube biases

    FSR, you committed a cardinal sin: you went on the Internet looking for Cube Opinions. That is a Bad Thing amongst Bad Things. Don't you know that only leads to misery and tears?

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    If you're thinking of including Wall of Reverence, I might recommend Seraph of Dawn or Rhox Faithmender, instead. Both of them have big butts and gain you small chunks of life, but they can help close out games, too. I find that walls above two mana are unnecessary in cube. There are plenty of...

    I'd like something better than my 85 cent white cardboard box, but.. I'm not sure I'm willing to make the jump to $170 (!) quite yet. There's gotta be a happy medium somewhere!

    General How often does your cube get drafted?

    99% sure I'm the oldest man on this forum (and also 99% sure I act like the youngest)

    Soshi's Lorwyn - Morningtide Cube

    Welcome to the forums, Soshi! I'm going to second your notion of increasing the changeling density. I didn't play back in that era, but as I understand it, one of the key problems with Lorwyn draft was that you basically picked one of the eight available tribes, hoped that no one at the table...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    bout time! three crawlers is still really really good though, not sure if I need to drop to two

    General How often does your cube get drafted?

    Once every two weeks, mostly thanks to Lucas and his group's amazing consistency in braving the cold weather to trek for sometimes two hours uptown, just to play cards. Hoping to bump that up to once a week in the near future, if I can wean my office Magic club off the beginner-level stuff and...

    Whoops, my post was unclear. I meant Wake Thrasher over Coralhelm Commander, unless you run Thassa. I've edited it to avoid confusion.

    Jonas 360 Cube

    I tried two Smallpoxes for a while when I was pushing the theme hard. The time I assembled the nut BR sac / recursion deck, I drafted both copies, but.. almost didn't want to start either of them. I grudgingly maindecked one copy, but was siding it out in every match, as there was often...

    Jonas 360 Cube

    Yup, it's ironic. In the so-called Pox decks here, Smallpox is usually the worst card in the deck by a long shot.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    People who run Thassa? I had the level up merfolk in a while ago and blue aggro decks were usually better off just bashing people in the face with Wake Thrasher.

    General Squadron Build-Arounds

    I dunno about that. EDH players have perhaps the best incentive to proxy, as the vast majority of their games aren't sanctioned. But they still go out of their way not only to acquire real cards, but to track down foil versions of them (!). I kind of hate proxies, myself, and oftentimes will...

    I'm almost afraid to click that link. edit: Yup, I knew Reckless Reveler was good enough for top ten in the set. I mean, what are cubers really looking for more than a functional Torch Fiend reprint? Vindicated! edit 2: Whaaaaaaat no love for Satyr Wayfinder? This is totally a card that you...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Whaaaaaaaat Mirror Entity is the best Overrun on legs ever printed. Just the threat of open mana makes it hard for the opponent to come up with profitable blocks. Him and like two random other dorks usually represents a two-shot lethal attack. For as much as I keep trying to graft a...
