The king of oww my card advantage is killing me

What boggles me is why it's not called frogs with pants. I haven't gotten a chance to play with mauler in a cube yet but it feels nice to be able to play a blue green fatty ramp deck with some insurance that you can land the 6-drop and have it stick around. . CML, what decks have ascendancy...

Isn't the real answer none of them? Or maybe I'm just too biased on idiot aggro.

I actually think it's a great example of how to design those "whoa, look I've got tribal!" happenstance themes in a cube. It's not something that is particularly revolutionary on this board but its nice to have something to point to more than just "look they're all humans!" (even though I like...

Seriously though havent the pridemates gotten if not a lot at least some extra support these last two sets? soulfire grand master brutal hordechief mardu woe-reaper warden of the first tree seeker of the way wingmate roc sorin, solemn visitor siege rhino tranquil cove

Sounds like scylla and charybdi, but elspeth at least sounds somewhat beatable. Doesn't Gideon just completely refocus the game around him in a pretty unfun way? At least you can hope to ignore elspeth sometimes

For all the weird turns that show took towards the end it was still pretty fantastic. Nice reference

So its like.. wheel of fortuning your graveyard?

That is true of course! Didn't consider that. I just channelfireball, so maybe I shouldn't talk.

Writing on the phone leads to some jumbled nightmare sentences. Starcitygames is a harsh place to go and shop on a budget.

I'm not sure if that was part of the design limitations but ST really you way little bang for your buck. I'd say it's almost considerable limitations on what you can do with your budget!

Probably you?

The solution then, obviously, is just to get our wallets slam dunked on the counter and get hold on some high powered cards.

Do you think Grand Master would work in Jason's Pridemate Lifegain package?

I like that, but its a conscious decision then. With additional gold cards you get ramifications right, and if you don't adjust to its going to be noticeable. I do like that approach though totally, like I've drafted Rob Dennis cube a lot like I mentioned in the opening post and its way fun. But...

Well, I'm down to 30 now! I just figured that what the fuck some of these gold cards are as mediocre as the monocolored options so lets run the mediocre option that at least makes for the better environment (hint: its not the one gold ones).

Yeah I think so too, unless we do it like 3 hours later and make it a breakfast draft :p

It should be noted that I drafted BUG as well. I took pretty much all the pay-off cards, I think, with like laboratory maniac, wormharvest and stuff like that. It was 4 am where I was so I almost fell asleep during the draft. A lot of fun though, sad I didnt get to build an actual deck and get...

It's a flying hill giant for WW2! Not that it means you will necessarily run it but, still!

I totally agree. Rather a too small than to large a gold section. I'm currently at 50 in my "just throw it together and play you idiot" stage but finding 2 more cards to run in each of the WUBRGs should be super easy so that I cut down to 40 til I have more quality cards to run in the WUBRG.
