    I know I cube decent number of those cards, so if the intent is to be able to host drafts of different cubes then I can't see it being a bad idea. The trade binder of the available cube doesn't have to be the same as the total set of cards the account owns. Just a thought from the peanut gallery...

    stoneblade is also a control deck, it's just a control deck with an uncounterable turn 3 batterskull

    General Limiting on-board PWs by limiting PW types

    JVP is absurd but i don't know if he fills the same role as JTMS (or Snapcaster) so people are still pretty bad at evaluating him. I remember at one point I didn't really care about facing him in Legacy but the reanimator and shardless lists with him have given me new pause. He's a busted return...

    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...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    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...

    Card/Deck Flagstones of Trokair

    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...

    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...

    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...

    COMPLETE Custom Sets that are cool.

    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:
