Dawning Archaic I just realized that this is a cooler, colorless version of Sailor's Bane. Probably slightly worse in my cube actually, because it has no removal protection build in, but still worth the swap I think.

I'm convinced. Tbh, Venser actually seems like a perfect example of cards I love cubing with: clean textbox, despite it's simplicity though it's flexible and skill testing; it has weak stats and is somewhat old school. Weird that I never even thought of trying him.

Maybe Venser is what I want, actually. Bouncing a spell makes it feel much more like a 2-for-1. Can anyone here elaborate what play patterns make Venser, Shaper Savant a great cube card? I've actually never have cast him in my entire life, for some reason.

Much more relatable now! I personally reduced my Cube Cobra bot-drafting a little bit. I once went through a period of serious over-design. Often I was adding cards and then cutting them again without ever giving them a chance in the draft. Sometimes I had three cards in the same slot in...

I'll never understand how you can make all these cuts with dozens of changes every release :p

Pretty cool shit. https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/4621ee6c-e16c-42f9-b0a1-afa75b2bfd63

Wait, that post is from 2014? ... how long have I been registered here?

Even though this isn't for me, more "noncreature spells matter" cards are a welcome sight.

I don't think I'll be casting 10-drops in an environment with 4-drops that pushed.

Cube Open Potsdam, Draft 2 This happened on sunday morning. I was drafting a really cool cube build around Death's Shadow in the other room, so I can't say too much on how this draft played out. 1. {B}{G} Midrange 3-0 (6-0) Ones 1 dryad militant 1 elvish reclaimer 1 disfigure Twos 1 Tough...

Meh, would use it as a proxy for Mind Stone if necessary.

I really like the idea for this cube to take ramp away from green and move it to colorless mostly. You could also consider just having a really huge colorless section and have the colored sections relatively small. Maybe that would work out? What I wouldn't pay too much attention to, at least...

Hmm, I don't think more expensive bounce is what I need here. Essentially I am looking for a card that helps to make mono blue and green/blue fit against creature-based decks. I do have a relatively strong counterspell suite as well as two stealing effects in blue in Welcome to the Fold and...

Unable to Scream Floodpits Drowner Blue interaction that's not a counterspell/bounce/stealing. Both feel almost too good for blue? I am usually not too conservative, but I believe blue should be bad at andwering resolved threats. Maybe I should just go back to Eaten by Piranhas? I like how the...

Cube Open Potsdam, Draft 1 this was firing on saturday morning and I participated myself. 1. Mono {R} Goblin Aggro 3-0 (6-2) Ones 1 soul-scar mage 1 tattermunge Maniac 1 monastery swiftspear 1 frenzied Goblin 1 figure of Destiny 1 Mogg raider 1 firebolt Twos 1 sparksmith 1 dark-dweller Oracle...

I sometimes feel like I am the only person on earth happy about the OmenPath situation. These digital alternative versions make it much easier to sell people on proxied universes within versions; also easier to find artworks for the cards. Sadly the spiderman omenpaths set was kinda shitty...

So, there have been a few leaks (four cards). And I was going to skip that set entirely. Wouldn't have expected to even post in this thread, especially not opening it. But I've been hoping to get some love for white prowess, especially {r/w} for so long. And now this got leaked: This has...

If there is a full cycle, that makes them all easier to parse for drafter, just sayin

On a more serious note, I totally get your problem with the bicycle land arts. The Festering Thicket from the Lorwyn Eclipsed commander decks is very nice, and I like Irrigated Farmland for being very unique, and of course the new Umbral expanse looks awesome. But a lot of them are... mediocre...

Have you considered ~20-60 Prismatic Vistas instead?
