    Card/Deck Kill it with fire (let's talk removal)

    If you're going to make them pay 4 mana to kill a heroic creature, might as well reward them.

    Opponent goes t1 Champion of the Parish, t2 Gather the Townsfolk on the play. Hits you for 3. You untap and Volcanic Hammer the champ. They untap, hit you for 2, then play Fabled Hero. You untap, cast Augur of Bolas, hit a Hero's Downfall, pass. They untap, Bonds of Faith their Fabled Hero and...

    Given that BR aggro demolished UWx control and Junk reanimator to win like a billion GPs in a row at one point, I'd say it was pretty fun for the cult of Rakdos... "Cube is a singleton format" - Jason Waddell, 2014

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    I like to have some theme/synergy incentives that aren't just pure upside on an already good card. Plus the "2-3 mana 5/5 haste if they don't have anything" scenario is kinda true of auras in general. After Ensoul Artifact, Shrapnel Blast, and UB Tezzeret, I dunno what other good incentives...

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    Ub tezz and ensoul have me wondering if some sort of artifact aggro deck could be a non-poisonous thing.

    Thragtusk certainly was better against huntmaster and jace than it was against falkenrath aristocrat and thundermaw hellkite.

    Goblin Rabblemaster is nuts. Quickling is better than the ninjas because you can use it out of combat and can use it on blocked creatures. Not an insane card but a solid playable. Jace TLG is way better than he looks. Don't really think he warrants a spot over the other Jaces (unless you...

    General Where did you start with cube?

    I started my cube with some of my college team draft group maybe a month before Dark Ascension came out. We pooled a bunch of random cards from old drafts, mostly commons/uncommons and bulk rares going back to Lorwyn block. Eventually I just started spending store credit on random cards for the...

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    I like Knight, it'll come back at some point. Probably when I get around to adding fetches! Dryad was cut earlier but somehow missed it on cubetutor. Sad to cut Karn but he might be back.

    I don't think Thragtusk is "too strong" or whatever. It even plays well with other colors, doesn't brick wall aggro nearly as badly as, say, Archangel of Thune, etc. Along the lines of CML's comment, it plays a bit like a 4-drop in that it's more of a value machine than a proto-finisher. It's a...

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    I would like to think that it encourages people to think about their curve as they draft but I'm not entirely convinced that would happen here :V Did get to see someone flip Spectral Procession off Bob in another local cube, which was sweet.

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    It's partially just not wanting to put cards that are great in their constructed context but kinda traps in limited. I do like the card and would probably cut Pain Seer for it if I got around to adding it?

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    Added random Soul of X and such, forgot to write it down but I guess it's on cubetutor. First wave of M15 cuts coming in a week or so.

    Gideon is a flex spot for me now. M15 cards... Military Intelligence has been solid. Quickling has been okay. Haven't seen Chasm Skulker or Illusory Angel yet. Genesis Hydra and Nissa have been absolutely insane for me... in Standard. Have yet to show up in a cube session. Anecdote: beat someone...
