You guys have a long way to go before you convince me to go Devotion with my cube. But the opportunity cost is so low that I don't mind tossing monocolor decks a bone in the land draft. Exotic Orchard is cool but I never really want it in my mainboard. It always seems appealing until you think...

i give Chris' recommendations for your cube my full 100% endorsement. It's rare that I agree with someone so strongly, but he wrote out everything I was thinking but am too indifferent to actually type out myself.

I have built Pauper decks around abusing Augur of Skulls and it's still been awful. Do. not. recommend.

Does this count as a preview? Can we throw it up on the front page?

You know how there's the Space Cube that rethemes all the cards? I would play a Lucre cube that just gave stupid names to all the cards

In my Eldrazi cube, the main 5-color incentive cards were in blue, not green, FWIW

Land, Bloodghast, swing, get zombie, Gravecrawler, Gravecrawler

Entomb or Smallpox the Messenger, Unearth it. There are tons of other Unearth targets too. Eternal Witness loops, Snapcaster, etc. It's been a pretty fun card, outside of the ideal Messenger play. But maybe it's too cutesy? I'm pretty enamored with it at the moment.

Can you design a card with Unleash, Unearth and Undying? EDIT: But maybe in another thread.

Yeah, I think Regrowth is the call. Taking out Call of the Herd to put in a green card that benefits from multiple bodies seems a little counterintuitive.

He started going to an art academy. He logs in from time to time but never posts.

Oh, uh, right, forgot about that. :rolleyes:

To add, if you're looking for another counterspell, may I nominate my pet card Evasive Action?

This is a totally baller post. You should cross-post it to the Delver thread for double the likes.

I'm actually pretty excited to see what people come up with. I started imagining various cards and it got me feeling all tingly again.

Yeah, I had the same deal when trying to put Sunburst in my Eldrazi cube. The cards just weren't there. I did put in the 3 mana sunburst Myr, but that was it.

Like, my green ramp is already precariously positioned enough, and it feels like you all are suggesting cuts that make it even worse. The 5's are always the incentive cards to playing ramp. If anything they're more essential than say, Craterhoof. Lifebane isn't so random. I tracked 10 drafts...

I don't think they're that interesting either, but they are both pretty fundamental in getting me to want to play Green, which is certainly not a powerhouse in my cube. I would feel more inclined to avoid that color without them, and the Green curse doesn't feel like it's pulling a ton of...

Suggest a drop for each of them?

So James is coming to draft my cube on Monday. It'll be a medium difficulty crew showing up, headlined by our new Pro Tour player and limited master. Only two of the players have not ever 3 - 0'd the cube, and one of them is known for going 3 - 0 with 50 card control decks that I refuse to...
