If it's any consolation, were I to push green aggro in my cube I'd probably run multi Skyshroud Elite Skyshroud Elite

I don't know if everybody would like it, but I have a 4-player draft format that lets you see an entire 360 cube: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-grid-drafting-and-more/

Interestingly, CML, mass pump is the main way to connect the tokens and double strike themes.

Do any of you running Champions run extra blink effects as a way of pumping champions at instant speed? I kind of see the card as an optimistic Nacatl at best (eventually) that happens to be the world's worst top deck. For how much everyone was shitting on Delver as a 1/1 that can take a few...

Is mindslaver really that powerful of an effect in cube? For an ultimate on a 6-drop it seems awfully paltry.

I wonder where Figure of Destiny ranks in power level among the cube's one-drops. As my cube has increased in speed the card has gotten worse and worse.

Double up on one-drops?

I realize I'm just hopping around threads poo-pooing things today, but I would not want to play black control if this was my finishing option. 6 mana for Shock Helix and then they ignore your PW and just attack you to death? Worst case scenario thinking, maybe, but this feels way underpowered.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but playing a one-drop that needs help to become Isamaru feels like bad times. It's something I've never tried though, and I don't think I'm going to get an educated opinion here by doing anything short of flying to Toronto.

He was bad even in the earliest iterations of my cube. I think Magic has passed him by in a big way.

That's a pretty bold claim that seems patently false. You could probably just cut cards from your cube and increase one-drop density without adding any.

I have a standing offer with one of my cubers that they can bring Aether Vial and include it in their decks without drafting it, and in their starting 7 every game against me, and it's still been terrible. I'm really not sure the extremes you'd have to go to in order to make it sufficiently...

I think your midrange stuff is way overrepresented because you turn a blind eye towards the absurd density of gold cards in your cube. Also telling from the cast that all your favorite cards are three and four drops. Long article in the works on the advantage of faster cubes and their inherent...

War Falcon seems super awful. I would run Mogg Flunkies way before War Falcon, and neither seem very close.

Umm... they've changed marginally. I run Nykthos now. I cut a couple. Added another Evolving Wilds. The lands are approximate but not exact.

Hey, Lucre, if I ponied up some store credit as a prize pool do you think we could get a card design contest going over here? Just a random idea.

I just got this (possibly platonic) date-agreement message. *swoon*
