Shambling remains is kinda cool in conjunction with both discard and sacrifice. I mean, it's pretty much an aggresive card seeing as it can't block, but it's a little bit more techy than other similar "vanilla" beat down cards.

How cool wouldn't it have been if Lanerry Storm got +1/+0 whenever you sacrificed an artefact rather than a treasure token? :(

Goblin Trenches How is this card? I've been looking for RW token cards, and it's been praised (somewhat) over on other cubing boards. It feels like a grindy mid-to-late game card?

What. It triggers on the END STEP? I played it wrong the entire last draft! Also, my vote would be for both Rampager and the dinosaur. Both look like good cards both for a midrange deck as well as curve toppers for aggro.

I feel like this is one of those kind of effects that should act as the glue that holds together an aggressive deck with many bodies (mostly tokens?), so making it an effect that doesn't function when your behind seems not great. Think I remember Jason talking about running it in tandem with...

Thanks for drafting! I would've maybe built the deck slightly more aggressive to help the treason-effects to be more impactful. I agree with you that there might be a couple of cards that run the risk of not being included in decks, so I'll keep a lookout for those cards when I do the 8-man draft.

http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/89230 The first version of the cube is now up! I got a 4-man draft down last friday, and got to see a BG reanimator deck, a WB discard/tapdown aggro deck, UW token/tempo deck (remand and lingering souls) and a RG aggro deck. Didn't manage to get any deck...

I think you reasoned pretty well! I'm actually sold on the idea that it might be better to let the UR cards function as the glue for the deck rather than the main attraction. I would feel much more comfortable picking up Bloodwater entity in a shaky UR "spell pile" deck during draft than Fevered...

Feveres visions is actually pretty good in my experience. If you are the aggressive deck, it sort of plays like a combination of Howling mine and Sulfuric Vortex. The trick is denying the opponent the chance of utilizing the cards they draw by pudding them with cheaper cards and denial (bounce...

Me too, that's a really spicy meat ball. I like the proposition of getting a ton of value but none of it just for free. How good is this in reanimator?

For what it's worth, WotC do have some recommended creature v non-creature ratios and recommended curves for the decks new players assemble in their pre-release events. Probably that could be used as a start off point for a curve? Although I think we would probably arrive to a similar curve out...

Rasmus Medium Power Cube I'm building a cube that I think I'm going to have fun with. The feeling should be of drafting during the summer where the core sets offered a really clean magic the gathering experience. Cube Goals: A fun cube that I can play with friends who only play magic...

Thanks, that was sort of my hunch. Played it against my brother who had a weenie deck, and he got pretty tilted about the fact that it had both regenerate and hexproof. I'll give that slot to something more fun, then!

Troll Ascetic How miserable is this card to play against in a moderately lower powered cube? Seems difficult to interact with ?

My vote is for tinker as well. If anything, just because either you get tinker to work, or you sort of end up with what could easily feel as a watered down version of tinker and at that point, will it really feel as good? I'd rather play a shitty tinker deck than an awesome deck with transmute...

Honestly going Kitesail Freebooter into some equipment or aura just seems so much more what I want to do with a black/x tempo deck than mesmeric fiend.

To me it would all come down to how you would defend yourself when you've got it down. Maybe it pairs well with blue, with tap effects and counters? Or maybe some for effects (although I am sceptical if those are something you would desire in a draft format). As usual I would suggest making a...
