I run Bloodthrone and she's great. Forces awkward blocks, gives you Esper aristocrats with OJ's C, and it's not like she's a 1/1 when it actually matters.

12/360 plus two flip walkers. Wouldn't mind going down to ten or so but this is fine. Quasi-Superfriends shows up sometimes, but it's rare to see more than one walker in a pack, and so it ends up with, like, four walkers total. That's one or two a game in the dedicated deck, which feels...

Definitely on Treetop Village, there's few cards I like more than manlands. Delver and snap Goggles are tempting, though. Here's another pack: (zoomed)

I think it's a function of a couple of things here though; Birthing Pod is one of the decks new drafters of my Cube often fall into (a guy test drafted it on CT and built Cataclysm Pod! <3) and they're typically pretty stoked about the deck. I think the card is just less interesting in slower or...

Have you found Raze to be playable outside of Flagstones synergy? Very curious to know if it's good for a Cube. e: VVV thanks!

RBM does and apparently it's great. I've definitely thought about it. Has anyone here actually cubed Skinshifter?

The kinds of cards I like in cube are generally playable to start with but have a play angle or deckbuilding caveat that lets them do fun and interesting things. The phrasing I've settled on for it has been 'broadly [good] but narrowly [spectacular]' which is a difficult band to lock down, but...

when I ran it I got to play the 1UUU line of 'okay, flash in snapcaster, blocks, withdraw snapcaster and your last attacker' a few times it ruled also speaking of counterspells somebody tell me not to or i swear to god i'll cube this piece of garbage: Dispersal Shield i'm thinking it's like...

You can also 'rhystic withdraw' back your creature after it blocks

Ursulay, and I really want to play that card.

also, like, slower but more resilient aggro actually can beat a Wrath, it's one of my favourite things to do in cube actually, ver. indiana jones

Monastery Mentor, a three-drop, is such a powerful finisher it created a new Vintage archetype. Check out some of the control decks in my cube; they rarely go beyond 4- or 5-mana spells. http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/410576 4 with one 5-drop http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/407810 4 with...

We had an exciting discussion about combo in cube not too long ago; if you missed it, the thread might be worth checking out. There was a bunch of discussion on how archetypes (using yr definitions here) can meld and supplant each other, 'pulling' the cards in your draft in different directions...

There's also these death trigger guys, now available in CoCo: Reaper of the Wilds Catacomb Sifter

It's 108 cards; mostly for the Cube, a couple for the ULD (incl. a Riptide Laboratory). After shipping from Hong Kong I paid $25(using a $10-off coupon). If I had to do it again I'd be more careful sourcing HD scans - a couple cards are a little blurry - but I'm happy with the quality. You...

Look what came in the mail!

It's a first release and kinda bomb-heavy, but this Star Wars cube is pretty cool. It's a tri-colour set with a couple of choice reprints and a high power level (some of the customs obnoxiously so imo but ymmv and if it's story-based maybe that's okay?) Some cards:

trying out Chief of the Edge asap, wayyy smart idea echoing that Human tribal here is typically WB colours, sometimes it's red and blue and gets either more aggressive or more reactive but the grindy aristocrats version has been the most resilient here too. There's also CoCo humans in green...

Just switched to it recently, after trying it out when I was testing Dash on a larger scale. Definitely playable, and fun.

the timing restriction brings back memories of the time I cubed Cauldron Dance - so much value but ultimately too conditional. Cauldron Dance is a really fun card, btw where are people at vis a vis running Warleader's Helix alongside Lightning Helix? There's a few extra things it kills but...
