    Card/Deck Hatebears

    I'm not sure, really. Maybe if you have a very high density of fetchlands or other tutor effects? It does seem very swingy between 2/2 vanilla and 2/2 opponent can't play Magic. Some other options (a lot of which are already cube staples but hey) Spirit of the Labyrinth Ethersworn Canonist...

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    I like it, it might be best on a pinger but turning any creature into Vampire Nighthawk is pretty good, and it's also especially good with first strikers. It's cheap enough to play and equip that often you can add value to a turn where you'd otherwise have unused mana. Plus you can fetch it...

    General Archetype Support

    What about Reid Duke Esper played in the most recent Pro Tour? No win conditions other than 2 Ugin and awaken cards.

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    I was also going to suggest Misdirection as a Force of Will replacement but it turns out that's over 100 tickets?!

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    Are you playing Pact of Negation? I don't remember. I'd agree that Liliana is the most irreplaceable, together with Crucible and Titania as there aren't really any similar effects. For Engineered Explosives, Ratchet Bomb might serve in a pinch?

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    Quirk: FTK Eric: Probably one of the lands, I'm leaning towards Overgrown Tomb Safra: Snapcaster

    General Limiting on-board PWs by limiting PW types

    If the reason you can't play your planeswalker is because you have another one already in play and activating every turn, I don't think you can feel that bad.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    This was me, tonight, except I only went 2-1. The winning deck and the one which gave me my loss was the Red Menace: Ones 1 Goblin Guide 1 Rakdos Cackler 1 Zurgo Bellstriker 1 Figure of Destiny Twos 1 Keldon Marauders 1 Young Pyromancer 1 Shrine of Burning Rage 1 Incinerate 1 Lightning...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've assembled Sunblast Angel plus Mimic Vat before. That was in Scars sealed though.

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    I think there are sites that you can buy cards from and then collect them from the site's bots in MTGO, perhaps some variation of that could work?

    General PWs to Cut and UR spells to run

    I like the tog, obviously he's not as insane as he was in constructed but you can still do some cool tricks with him. One of my favourite plays was attacking with tog, getting no blocks, then discarding Griselbrand to him, Makeshift Mannequinning him back and drawing my whole deck to discard for...

    General PWs to Cut and UR spells to run

    I'm running double Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, Psychatog, Shadowmage Infiltrator and the Impulse/graveyard with flashback thing, but I think I want to cut one of the three-drops for Baleful Strix

    Judge Demonic Tutor, Book Jace Beleren, Gaea's Cradle and then some Unlimited lands and Tarmogoyf I guess.

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    I probably have a few bits I can help out with.

    General CBS

    I think I'd rather play with Sylvan Library or Mirri's Guile over Cream of the Crop

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    I think you have to do the draft off-site and then the owner of the cube loans out the cards to the drafters.

    General CBS

    It can go in pretty much every deck that plays blue, and since the mana's so good that's any deck.
