30th as in 30th if the month. It was actually only the third cube session with my current cube ;) Before that I used other color wheels, I think I switched three times before "settling" (no guarantees) on the current {w}{b}{u}{r}{g} wheel? As for how it has evolved... Well, the cube started out...

Anyone else tried Shardbound yet? It's in pre-alpha, available on Steam. It's a combination of ccg and board game. You have a deck of units, spells, and artifacts, the mana progression mimics Hearthstone (1 mana/turn until you reach 10), and you deploy your units and artifacts on your side of...

I love Sandwurm Convergence. I got second in my most recent cube draft with a really janky but super cool GWuB deck that did practically nothing before turn 5 but demolished a Naya midrange deck in the first round and defeated a mono red aggro deck in the second round (2-1 because he topdecked...

My favorites out of my RG section are, in no particular order... Bloodbraid Elf is the classic cascade card that gives Gruul decks some much needed card advantage as well while maintaining pressure. It plays like a charm and is a legit draw into the color combination. Regisaur Alpha is...

None of the previous 3 mana walkers were balanced around t1 accelerants, so I doubt {X}{G}{U} Nissa was. Not that I don't agree this should be at least a passing thought, but I sincerely doubt it was :)

Not to detract anything from your argument, but if you cast her for X = 0 she'll go to the graveyard immediately on account of having zero loyalty. Unless you mean turn two off a mana elf, which I doubt was a consideration during the design of this card since there's no turn one mana accelerant...

God I love haikus :)

Supporting WU Skies is fine, but there's more interesting cards than Welkin Tern and Gossamer Phantasm for that, surely. dimensional infiltrator Rattlechain Skyship plunderer Stratus dancer Just a few 2/1's with actual upside, for instance.

Kird Ape Radha, Heir to Keld Voltaic Brawler Bloodbraid Elf Huntmaster of the Fells Regisaur Alpha Ruric Thar, the Unbowed Dragonlord Atarka Assault // Battery Firewild Borderpost Artifact Mutation Domri Rade Firespout Stormbind Heaven // Earth Plus a custom sorcery for {2}{r}{g} with "Target...

Went to a live performance of Naturally 7. Brilliant!

Yes and it's gas! Mind Rot with upside for two is already plenty playable, and as a bonus you can target yourself for six life in the late game.

Heh. For me it's a downside that it isn't available in the new border. Different strokes for different folks, I guess :). I do like Battle Screech quite a bit more than than Increasing Devotion, because it sits at a better spot on the curve, and because the tokens have evasion. I'm guessing...

Planeswalkers. Honestly she's kinda slow though, maybe try Thalia's Lancers ? Also slow, but more of a presence, only one color, and guaranteed value.

Lack of good hybrids? Debtors' Knell This card is awesome in slower decks, especially if you have wraths in both colors. Edit: For some reason Debtors' Knell isn’t recognized by the card tags. Edit2: The problem seems to be the difference between Debtors' and Debtors’. I never had this...

That’s probably because some of us still remember how oppressive that thing was in that limited format :p

Well said Raveborn, have a cookie! ... Damn, no cookie smilies :( I don't know if I would have worded the argument so vehemently, but I too strive for a format where no card by default is relegated to the sideboard. That means including disenchant effects that can be run maindeck and...

I’ve always been partial to void Grenzo, dungeon warden but it’s been a while since I ran BR cards in my cube...

http://www.cubetutor.com/analysis/1 Where 1 is the id of your cube. Look under 'cmc charts' in the graph 'Combined Averages'. The second to last column (the grey one) shows the average cmc of your whole cube, excluding lands.

Having tried both (in an earlier version of my cube) I can confirm that this is indeed a more manageable version of Assemble.

My cube averages 3.134, a bit higher than 3, mainly because of the emphasis on multicolored cards. The average of my monocolor and artifact sections is 2.99 :) The average CMC of multicolored cards is 5.2 (!) thanks to stuff like Cruel Ultimatum and Karador, Ghost Chieftain. My white section...
