    Card/Deck The Orzhov Syndicate (WB)

    I agree with you on that point, the BW tokens was just an example, and in practice people will tend to have multiple different themes running across each colour pair. The "Modern Masters" style of cube design is something I greatly dislike.

    non-green Sharzad grid draft

    I could draft tonight, time zone depending - I'm GMT.

    Card/Deck The Orzhov Syndicate (WB)

    I don't think it's mono colour cards which are only playable in certain colour pairs, but more cards that support the theme of the colour pair. So eg if your BW section's major theme is tokens, as well as Lingering Souls and whatever Sorin takes your fancy, you also have Glorious Anthem and...

    How do people feel about Daze compared to Force Spike/Censor? Not so much Miscalc, I feel like that comparison is more to Mana Leak effects.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    She's real good with Spirit of the Labyrinth.

    Card/Deck Artifact/Enchantment destruction

    Creatures have other benefits as well - at least in my cube, it's a lot easier to tutor for and recur Reclamation Sage compared to Naturalize. (obviously it's very difficult to tutor for Naturalize because it's not in the cube, but if it were)

    Card/Deck Artifact/Enchantment destruction

    I mean, if you're starting it in your sideboard 80% of the time that does sound like a purely sideboard card to me. If you sideboard it in so often, why aren't you maindecking it more?

    Card/Deck The Rakdos Cult (BR)

    I run Rakdos Cackler Murderous Redcap Falkenrath Aristocrat Grenzo, Dungeon Warden at the moment. I've also at various times run Anathemancer Blightning Terminate Wrecking Ball Olivia Voldaren Murderous Redcap and Falkenrath Aristocrat I'm both very happy with. They each fill several...

    There's two main reasons I don't like hand disruption: there's no counterplay, and it takes some of the unpredictability out of the game. At least with other disruption like counterspells you can play around them.

    Just back on Kitesail Freebooter, how much hand disruption do you run in your cubes generally? I've just had a look because reading through the discussion I realised I'd never played Mesmeric Fiend/Brain Maggot anyway, and never felt like I wanted them, and I actually only have Duress and Cabal...

    General Ixlan Spoiler

    I had Legion's Landing in my prerelease pool and I liked it a lot more than I expected. It's very slow, and can be a bit difficult to flip, but if you can get it started it works on its own to give you more time to make more vampires. There were a couple of games I made 10+ vampires with it...

    General Ixlan Spoiler

    The main problem I see with Overwhelming Insight is that any of the blue draw X spells (Mind Spring, Stroke of Genius, Blue Sun's Zenith, Sphinx's Revelation, Pull from Tomorrow) compete with it, and whilst they're worse at around the same mana expenditure, they're so much better at other points...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    I've been playing Palace Jailer in Death and Taxes in legacy, that card is super cool and finessing a window to land it unopposed is really interesting.

    I'm heading up this evening with my own and my newly put-together penny pincher cube. I should be around all day tomorrow and for Sunday morning, I'm not playing the main event so hopefully plenty of cube to be had.
