    You're lucky enough to have articles on CFB and whatnot, but if I turn up somewhere with a cube, everybody already assumes a lot when I say "Hey guys, I've got a cube." Nobody gunna be familiar with my list. They're gunna open a pack with Gravecrawler and Ion Storm and probably say "Meh" and...

    General 1-vs-1 Drafting Variant

    Sounds worth trying! Out of all the 2-player draft formats I've played I still like grid drafting the most, but there might be something better out there.

    You're probably right, I just love multicolor cards and I love jamming all kinds of splashes into my decks. Hence that 4-color aggro deck.

    Man, I'm jealous of you people that get to draft your cubes to often and with good players. The last time I drafted cube one was looking at my proxied Bob (because that one Wizards employee couldn't play with the proxies) and as we were taking it out said something like "It's ok, he's not that...

    I think it's much much better than Pentavus because you can remove +1/+1 counters from your other creatures. It gives this deck some kind of insane tokeny endgame if it doesn't get there with the beatdowns. edit: with Goblin Bombardment it turns {1} and a counter into 1 damage.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Cloudfin Raptor There's the possibility to extend my +1/+1 counter archetype into blue. What I want to know is whether this card has been good in people's cubes without the Ion Storm or other archetype support. It looks fine in a Ux tempo style deck. Any experiences, guys?

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I ran Swift Justice because I had so many amazing blowouts with it in RTR limited. I cut it because there was a thread on here about combat tricks and one of the points was having lots of random combat tricks is unfun. It could always go back in.

    We'll see! It does really unfun things in EDH, maybe it will be interesting in cube.

    Just made a big update! For the +1/+1 counter archetype I've added lots of stuff. I've also doubled up on shocklands and fetchlands to support serious multicolor aggro decks (the ole Experiment One into Gore-House Chainwalker into Renegade Krasis into Cytoplast Root-Kin wait that's only two...

    Velcome! Yeah I can never get a draft together round here. I would really like a way for us to draft riptide cubes together online. Maybe I should just go to Antwerp again. Where you from Douggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg? Cuz if you live in London we could draft...

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    I run Accorder Paladin and Daring Skyjek and they are often in the same decks. Skyjek is not only a good card, it's a very interesting card to play with, and I think it's got a really important tension for white aggro decks. When you can choose between playing Skyjek or other two drops, and then...

    General What websites do you use to order cards from?

    Here in the UK I use magicmadhouse.co.uk, but it always feels a little overpriced. The other option is magiccardmarket.eu, but it's such a pain in the ass when you're looking for more than one card. Mostly I try to bum cards off my friends when I can.

    General Squadron Build-Arounds

    Why bother with Opposition? In my experience it's pretty nutty, maybe too nutty. Part of playing against that deck with Opposition in it is hoping they don't draw it. You don't need to build around it you just put it in a deck with creatures. Hopefully some token makers too. Squadron Hawk...

    I'm considering the same thing, but what about birthing pod? Beat it on the creature front?

    Re: this whole flat power level thing: I don't think you want a totally flat power curve, or a totally wonky one. I also don't think this kind of discussion has much merit. Until someone says "Hey guys I just built a cube where I purposefully had a flat power curve and it was awesome/horrible"...

    Agreeing about Accorder Paladin. I doubled it for my white aggro package but it hasn't pulled it's weight. I am going back down to one. Perhaps for a Cloistered Youth.
