Anyone have success with Cori-Steel Cutter yet in their cubes? Cori-steel cutter I see it making waves in just about every Constructed format where it's clearly very powerful, interested in seeing what kind of cube lists can benefit the most from it before picking up a copy in the next week or...

Great idea for a thread, I go through my cube list once in a while sorting by set just to see what's stuck around for the long term. Coldsnap was before my time, my first real set was M13, but looking over my list it's just Mishra's Bauble currently being run. Mishra's Bauble Nice...

I agree completely, it's partially why I've been careful with card inclusions and exclusions for a long time until opening myself up more recently with how WoTC's design principles have shifted in recent years. You never want your players to feel like there was nothing they could do, where they...

Not too surprising, mostly the remaining DFCs as expected: Kytheon, Hero of Akros Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Overlord of the Balemurk Fable of the Mirror-Breaker Birthing Ritual If I go non-DFC for Jeskai colors I get: The Wandering Emperor Thassa's Oracle Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer Word count...

I do run all ten guilds, I do not run all ten manlands. I have a mixed 4th cycle where I have the following options for now: Celestial Colonnade Creeping Tar Pit Restless Vents Raging Ravine Horizon Canopy Silent Clearing Nurturing Peatland Watterlogged Grove Fiery Islet Sunbaked Canyon If...

Stadium Headliner Ended up giving this one a run after having it in my prerelease pool. I think it's pretty mediocre as an aggressive body, but the on-board combat trick aspect of it makes it kind of appealing. Gives it different play if you draw it late where it can no longer really attack...

Made the jump into the following: Hallowed Fountain Hallowed Fountain Meticulous Archive Celestial Colonnade Flooded Strand Flooded Strand Last time I ran double shocks and fetches was the initial build of the cube a decade back at 360, but I think the bump to 450 (and maybe some pack...

CubeCon Submissions are live for 2025. I'm submitting mine this year and if I get selected as a featured cube I'll likely be making the trip in October.

Every year my friends from college come back to visit town around March and I host an 8-man cube draft. I get to draft my cube with a full squad maybe 2-3 times a year so it's a big deal for me to get to try out all the new toys instead of theorycrafting all the time. I hadn't really been very...

Went Mardu at the Prerelease and finished 2-1 with this solid pool: Ones 1 Mardu Devotee 1 Descendant of Storms 1 Stadium Headliner 2 Caustic Exhale Twos 1 Voice of Victory 1 Osseous Exhale 2 Frontline Rush Threes 1 Starry-Eyed Skyrider 1 Hardened Tactitian 1 Clarion Conqueror 1 Qarsi...

Hallowed Fountain Prairie Stream Meticulous Archive Flooded Strand Flooded Strand This is my ideal suite once WoTC gets around to finishing that cycle (someday hopefully). Hell, I might even cut out the surveils at that point and just go double shocks because I like the BFZ cycle that much. I...

I'm deepdiving back into the core design of my cube after bumping it up from 420 to 450 after my most recent draft. A lot of re-evaluation of previous format boogeyman that are much more tame nowadays with now much more powerful cards are compared to a decade ago when I first put this all...

@Chris Taylor or anyone else, sell me on what you're running with this guy: Brightglass Gearhulk On my most recent draft a player suggested adding this in and I figured sure why not. Put in an order for a copy yesterday and will (hopefully) see it in action the next draft. I'm running most of...

Light on inclusions this time around, but that's fine with me as I'm just diving back into cube after mostly taking the last 6 months off. A lot to go through in the back-log and try out as I attempt to make cube more a regular thing for my playgroup over the year. This is my first pass through...

I wish that Goblin had some keyword give it some extra play, but it feels very anemic for any R/x Aggro deck. If it was a 2/1 or if it had Menace I could be convinced, but as is it's just whatever when the fling option can't even go to face. Should be cool in Limited though.

Lots of good choices there, of the cards you've highlighted I'm currently running the following: Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd Marionette Apprentice Accursed Marauder Nethergoyf Warren Soultrader Pyrogoyf Ghostfire Slice Flare of Cultivation Birthing Ritual Psychic Frog Yeah, I think I'm out on...

I think it depends on the quality and efficiency of what you're bringing back. Snap is much better with a plethora of low CMC spells to let you really apply a ton of pressure with spell velocity. But if there are a lot of 3+ mana cards to recur then the gap between them is lessened. Even more so...

Prerelease for ONE wasn't terrible, but I had zero interest in playing Limited at all. I just haven't really enjoyed paper drafts in general since they changed up collation with rares to make it all extra swingy.

I've been trying to avoid adding more double-sided cards into my cube over the last few years, I think the only exception I've made is for Fable of the Mirror Breaker, but Cecil is very intriguing on the front side (and also one of my favorite protagonists from the series) so I'll probably give...

Alright, it's been nearly a year since MH3 released. I finally had my first cube draft in a while over the weekend (write-up coming at some point in the next month) and had a number of cards perform pretty well. I'll cover my MH3 performers in depth as I remember things while writing up the...
