Bazaar Tragemage has overperformed for me. In fact, I've never felt I needed any discard synergies for it to be a beating. My cube has smaller creatures and a 3/4 Flyer is positively big. It's a huge blocker and it won't have any rivals on the sky. It has a very large board presence for its...

In my experience, the combo just takes what could be a fun, interactive game of Magic and turns it into "well, I drew the combo, GG". I'm tempted to run The Gritog Monster but it just seems way too strong for me.

I tried to make Pod Artifacts a thing, but it just hasn't. I run the cards, there's just not a real crossover between, say, Birthing Pod and Tezzeret.

Living Twister is worse than it looks in the "discard lands" part and much better than it looks in the "I'm a 2/5" camp. I like it.

I'm tempted to just go and print proxies of your whole cube. I would never play it, I don't think I know anyone skilled enough to do so, but I love it.

Magmatic Channeler vs Dismissive Pyromancer I'm not actually great at evaluating these two cards. What do you think?

Sigh is right. Karsten's analysis overstates the need for mana. You only want the BB when you can actually spend it, not always. You don't need to have BB on turn 2 if you don't have Aetherborn in hand. To use an example. Karsten says you need an umbrella even when it's not raining, while Sigh...

I want to go print some proxies and get the ball rolling again. A bunch of friends have many cheap cards and chances are I could replace a good chunk of the cube with actual cards. But for that I first need to finish the whole thing. Some thoughts: Multicolor cards that could be replaced by...

I can't think of a more oppressive card you could run in your cube hahaha. Tempting isn't it? But I think Black Lotus would be weaker in your environment than Counterbalance would be.

I've played a ton of Historic on Arena so I knew all the cards. My first draft was this Esper control deck. Three Wraths and a bunch of removal can't go wrong. I think that, unlike other cubes, Field of the Dead is fairly strong and should be palyable even when people take lands as highly as...

It's hard. At first I had a lot of ramp and I quickly realized I didn't need most of it to support Gruul Midrange. It always seems you need more than you actually do. I can't talk about the right number but I can tell you it's probably less than you think. I think megaramp as an archetype is...

I can see that. If it helps, I think taking a piece of paper and starting from scratch by putting the cards you truly want in helps a lot. It helped me shed a lot of filler and my cube is far more typical than yours. I think it can be done but it will be difficult at first since, like you say...

I don't really know. I fear it's going to get stuck with bad hands a large amount of the time and lose to a sweeper or removal spell on the right creature. I didn't know how to trigger Inga's death trigger. Three creatures are a lot. Perhaps a wrath or a sacrifice effect? But it's in blue and...

Your cube is fairly standard, so I felt pretty confident drafting it: My first deck was thsi one. I first picked Rofellos and went hard into ramp. You have a massive amount of mana dorks, far more than is probably healthy or needed. I could pass Fyndhorn Elves very easily. The goal of the...

I'm sorry to hear that, I just wanted to lend a hand. Really, it's normal. My cube is a extremely standard stuff and yet it has taken me more than a year to reach the point where I think it's ok. I would try to draft archetypes with the explicit goal of overcoming a crowded board of 2/2s and...

Ok, let's do this: Fierst I drafted this Boros deck. It was fairly straightfoward except I felt the curve was not kind to the archetype. There are too many 3s. I know the cube is shifted towards 2s and 3s, but it felt very akward. I also believe some cards (Phoenix of Ash) are much stronger...

For some reason Cubetutor starts to think and never stops. I can't draft it, sorry. :(

I first attempted to build a deck around Inga Rune-Eyes but failed miserably, I don't know how it should work. Inga Rune-Eyes My first draft went very poorly. I overfocused on ramp and green when I picked Vernal Bloom and I derailed. https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/6017245cd70a8b1048079e53...

I actually talked with the devs about this. Less than a year ago, Cube Cobra was extremely kind when it comes to lands. You could always draft whatever 5c nonsense you wanted because they were massively undervalued. They tried to improve the bots but they found another flaw: Even better bots...

I'm bored. That means I should be writing or playing games to write about them or some other nonsense. But no, this time I'm going to help you test your cube by drafting. You guys have been helping me test mine so it only makes sense to return the favour. Link here your cube and what you want...
