No. Well. Maybe. It depends.

Yeah, that was pretty much what I was trying to say.

Hey, some useful pointers on mana rocks. Nice! I think I need some more custom rocks then (or double up on the good and straightforward ones), because I still cube Coldsteel Heart and Sphere of the Suns, and those concerns are real. I also wholeheartedly agree on Coalition Relic. That thing is...

Right, so I'm still looking for Grixis hybrid additions. I like your suggestions, but I don't think Final Word is balanced as is at three mana, so maybe limit the targets? I also have a few new ideas. I put up a run-off in the Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube) thread. As for the...

If you're breaking singleton anyway, do yourself a favor and order two Wildfires instead of one and a Burning of Xingyinyang. From my experience: Expensive staples that is not worth it: Force of Will Expensive staple that I'm on the fence about: Dark Confidant Expensive staples that are awesome...

Depends on the format though, in cube Swiftspear isn't the best one drop, I think. I just don't think a vanilla prowess one drop in blue would be very good, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, that is a lot! Probably playable then, but still underwhelming? I mean, I'ld draft it because repeatable artifact removal is so bonkers in a Mirrodin environment, but I don't know if it would be fun to play with or against. If I remember correctly, people bitched a lot about how ridiculous...

I'll raise you a Monastery Swiftspear! In other words, Renegade Wizard looks pretty underwhelming. Can we put the Looter il-Kor effect on it?

Huge and very satisfying news! Prowess (primary in blue, secondary in red, probably tertiary in white) and Scry (all colors) are now evergreen! :D Woohoo! Prowess kills two birds with one stone: their lack of a combat-related mechanic in blue, and the lack of an overlapping mechanic in...

Got some new cube-specific customs over in my Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube thread.

personal faves that haven't been mentioned yet: Withdraw Waterfront Bouncer Man-o'-War Crystal Shard Supplant Form

Ok, fight time. I got two alternatives for Ensnaring Orb: Which one is more fun? Would you want to play either in a cube draft? Are these better than Ensnaring Trap? Is this a better and more interesting version of Stalwart Hunter? I know it's just two abilities stapled together, but...

We're neglecting the "awesome" Homelands art here guys and galls! Abbey Matron Samite Alchemist Serra Inquisitors Trade Caravan Baki's Curse Mystic Decree Greater Werewolf Veldrane of Sengir Ambush Heart Wolf Folk of An-Havva Joven's Ferrets Ebony Rhino I'm being coy though. There's...

Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded Sheesh, poor Tibalt. The answer to every negative planeswalker question :)

Yeah, I always liked it as well. Been a while since I cubed it though. Don't worry about posting too much, most of the regulars have other things to do on the weekends, so it's always nice for the few of us lurking here to see another living soul :P

Dethrone sits in an interesting mechanical space, where you actively want to have less life than your opponent, i.e. you want painlands and mana burn.

Gurmag Angler is honestly not bad! I think someone even tried it out in constructed? Edit: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/the-pantheon-deck-tech-esper-delve/ Edit edit: correction: Chapin played it and went 0-5.

I don't know what to think of your critique on Tombspawn Slayer. Stapling together abilities is a major technique to build gold cards, you even like Necrophidian a few cards down, which uses that very same schtick. When abilities of different colors come together in a multicolor card, it can...

I'll take the response to your feedback over to my cube's topic :) Edit: Click here for the reply. Golem seems weakish? That's 8 mana before it gets one activated ability (that presumably costs more mana to activate) on a measly 1/3 body and a multicolor card. Unless you run a lot of artifacts...

Critique time! This cube has a focus on shards, so I want to add two HC spells per shard ({B/R}{U}for Grixis, for example) to push the shard feel, without taxing mana bases too much. I'ld welcome some thoughts about these cards, because customs have to pull their weight, especially if they're to...
