For those interested, I have a very sparse cube sheet hosted here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkmGq9EqXDoidDFneWw2MEVRRFd2RVl4T3RRYkU2S0E#gid=0

Whatever you say, Mr. Fünke.

The strength of red control comes from the fact that it has the best answers to fast aggro (Pyroclasm, Whipflare, Slagstorm, Arc Trail, etc.). Being able to wipe the board a full turn or two faster than other decks and you have yourself a prime candidate for best anti-aggro color. Throw in the...

Regarding the presence of an Eldrazi archetype, I think you need two main factors for success: - ways to make ramp interactive - a slight reduction in speed to the environment Part of the issue with doing "big things" in a normal cube is that your aggro decks are so fast that the ramp decks...

I added Undying Evil several weeks ago, but haven't seen much from it yet. I dream of the Mulldrifter Evoke + Undying Evil nonsense. The one time we did see it was ridiculous. I had my opponent at negative life with Abyssal Persecutor on the table, then was finally able to sacrifice it off of...

I dabbled with Wildfire for a long time, but was never willing to put in the artifact ramp package to support it. As cool as Wildfire decks can be, they place a lot of constraints on your format. Ultimately nobody was playing them (do you really want to use a singleton wildfire when the ramp is...

We're working on implementing a site-wide autocard feature. In addition, it is super easy to insert card images directly into threads. My current process goes: Step 1: Right-click, copy URL Step 2: Click the 'Insert/edit image' button Step 3: Ctrl+V Viola!

Rob, I am so happy you exist. This cuesbey stuff is really coming along. I made a complete In- and Out- list from six weeks of changes for an upcoming article (coming out in the next 48h sometime), and your site was a massive time saver. It's really great that you can bookmark a list for a...

Some great answers Rob! AVR definitely counts. I really like the way "on-board" removal creatures like Fiend Hunter and Tidehollow Sculler affect the board. I've really taken to this card lately. Sure, it fits my theme, but it really hits that perfect mix of power and synergies. Also, I'm not...

Well, if we're looking at the top end of the blue scale, the competition is: Consecrated Sphinx Sphinx of Jwar Isle Frost Titan Sphinx of Jwar Isle is thoroughly unexciting, but being un-targetable is often the kind of reliability that you need in a finisher. Frost Titan was never really...

Now that we've had a year with all the cards of the Innistrad block, how have the cards held up compared to your initial expectations? Were there any hyped cards that didn't pan out for you? Hidden gems that have been overlooked by the cube community? Cards that were more or less fun than you...

Eric, you make some good points about the interplay between threats and removal. I do wonder how it affects aggro decks though. When I am playing aggro, many of the cards you mention are specifically the ones that I want in my deck. The ability to remove a blocker for 1 mana without losing...

https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/eldrazidomain Lately I've been building towards the idea that there's a large swath of unexplored design space in the world of cubing. For the sake of clarity, I'll define cube here as a custom limited environment using only cards that have been printed by...

Hi, I'm Jason Waddell, an American living and working in Belgium. I recently started writing Cube articles for ChannelFireball.com. I am relatively new to Magic, and come from a background of working with Major League Gaming, a company that creates competitive rulesets and gametypes to be used...

Hannes, I suspect you overstate the simplicity of the card. If you have no other cards or ways to spend your mana, then perhaps. However, you do have to decide whether to cast it with mana open or not. Perhaps the difference in opinion can be attributed to the much slower nature of your...
