Thanks for starting up this thread, CML. I remember we had a similar discussion on this topic like six months ago, where we racked our brains trying to come up with ways to drive in more active forum members, and basically concluded that it's not easy. The Kranny experiment didn't work out...

Definitely the former. I'm actually okay with Entreat the Angels. There's less feel-bads from plopping down a couple of 4/4's, especially if the other player already had a good board position. As an aggro player, I've been on the receiving end of more than one opponent's miracled Entreat, and...

I hate this card and everything it stands for. Yet all of my players love this card. To a man. So I'm torn. I don't like how luck-based it is, so I've currently swapped it out for Sudden Demise. But apparently that's not enough to satiate my players - they still ask me every draft where the...

Absolutely wonderful. This is just a delight.

I'm gonna sit this one out, but I'll be tuning in! My one question for the cast: how do you make green interesting in cube? I know CML has gone on record saying that green is the best / easiest colour to design around, but I disagree. Besides black, I've always had a hell of a time making...

I'm a big, big fan of 'can't block' abilities in red, as aside from direct damage, temporarily removing big butts is a great way to push through a little extra damage, especially in cube where everything at four mana and up has a good chance of stonewalling red aggro decks otherwise. I've run...

Mayor is getting better for us now that we have dedicated human tribal support. May I present Exhibit A in the gallery of Sweet GB Human Decks.

These two guys, along with Acidic Slime, are just about my favourite green cards at the moment. I think Vorapede is your weak link, honestly, and is probably the most similar to Thragtusk.

I'm starting to come around on Primal Command. For whatever reason, it never really worked for us the first year or so I had it in, so I benched it for a while. Then our winning player this week used it really effectively as half of a Plow Under, while also tutoring for his best creature. I...

Well.. maybe. Decks like these really benefit from having one or both of the Blood Artists, which provide some much-needed reach while all the sacrifice shenanigans are going down. If anything, I'm concerned that the Gravecrawler deck is a little too good at the moment, when everything comes...

I think my influx of gold cards make it so that six of the eight players were in three colours or more. It was certainly more of a midrange-fest than normal, with only yours as the clear-cut aggro deck, and no real control deck to speak of (maybe the all planeswalker deck counts, though). Seemed...

I knew that Humans deck was the real deal when I tried to wrath his board of approximately 8153 creatures, and after clearing it out, he plopped down eight power of fresh Necromancer-cooked Zombie tokens - made almost entirely from green Humans, natch - and killed me in two turns. And yeah, I...

Minister of Impediments The more I think about it, the more I want to try a Minister of Impediments, maybe over the Curse of Chains I have. Does this sound janky? Or something that might be halfway decent?

Yeah, I've used 5x9 to reasonable success with my four man drafts.

Jim, any chance you could either post your list on CubeTutor, or alternately, use the tags here? I find that I'm not familiar with a lot of the cards you've included, and it's a royal pain to open a new window every time I want to figure out what a card does. If you decide to post your list...

So I've been watching a lot of Standard lately, and am wondering if Pack Rat does anything in cube. I had it in for a couple drafts a year ago, and it was.. kinda worthless. Anybody here have much experience with it, either good or bad?

Yeah, after playing a bunch of Theros, I can safely say that 1/1 deathtouch guys are the bane of my existence.

Fireslinger Cunning Sparkmage Vithian Stinger Like their close cousins, the tappers, the pingers are slightly (read: super) annoying in Limited, but almost never make the jump to Constructed. (Save for a brief period where Stoneforge Mystic and Basilisk Collar formed an unholy alliance with a...

Tumble Magnet! I remember I had that in the very first iteration of my cube, and... it wasn't horrible. Maybe I'll give it a try again. I actually slotted Scepter of Dominance into my cube a good half dozen times, in my desperate attempts to boost white control, and every time I came away...
