    Long time lurker, eventually managed to put together his first cube

    Your English is okay IMO! I can give more feedback later but I did some practice drafts. Every time I was able to get Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time. I think these cards are stronger than everything else in your cube. The decks: IMO you don't have enough 6-7 mana creatures outside of...

    yeah i gotta go with velrun here i really don't think it's like persist the solution to hexproof I actually like the most is the Frost Titan tax (also on Icefall Regent & sundry), which I think Chris T named "Chill" when I gave it to him on a card

    imo it's Multani and Blossoming Defence. Multani is just grindy enough that you can rely on him to help out the less curve-based lands decks, and IMO decks that want to protect the queen are sometimes looking to protect a guy with double strike, where the stat buff becomes a meaningfully big deal

    How are you getting 20 permanents in a deck that wants a B 2/1 can't-block? It's very evocative and I like it, but even getting The City's Blessing is kind of awkward. If you have 20 permanents shouldn't you already have won? I worry that this second line is just trinket text. Some spins on...

    I tested it very briefly and found it inelegant, even though I'd thought it would rule. It's certainly strong enough but IMO either you want to slam it asap or it rots in your hand until you're out of threats. IMO it is stronger than basalt monolith if you aren't, like, turn-1-ing it.

    Card/Deck Green/Blue Landfall

    WotC themselves draw a distinction between 'design' and 'development', where design is making cards and development is adapting those cards to the limited / standard environment. In my experience players are more willing to tolerate 're-developed' cards than actual customs.

    courser is a good, fun card, and if your aggro decks can't beat an x/4 you should be making them more interesting, not removing all thicc centaurs from your cube

    it's what they called the set / treasure chests for simonot timothée's Twisted Colour Pie Cube when it won the YMTC contest.

    it's very very good with gravecrawlers. dece with Randy "Two Shields" Jackson. Cute to just hold it up against removal when you've got instants. I've never main-cubed it though I don't think, sorry.

    I also have a graveyard-based version of a lands archetype, but mine's centred in BG and I think higher-power. My key roleplayers (a couple paired cards): Life from the Loam Mox Diamond Ramunap Excavator Courser of Kruphix World Shaper Sylvan Safekeeper Titania, Protector of Argoth Vengevine...

    Indestructible has always been fun with board clears...you can get cute with stuff like Volcano Hellion too then there's your value loops with Eternal Witness, and you can protect it + bounce one of your mooks before a Wildfire if you've got 8 mana handy. I don't cube the Sabertooth but maybe...

    A List of Riptiders Who Actually Play Magic

    okay but for real i'm really enjoying drafting non-stop in Arena whenever I have free time. I'm not sure if it's that I'm actually good by accident, or (my guess) it takes a while to rank up to the right MMR rating, but according to a post-it note I've been keeping I've won (5- or 7-wins) like...
