    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    The reason I see creatures as the central part of these combo decks is not because of their abundance, it's because each Color can interact with them (even if it's like... Pit fight in green) trading post and bounce lands are cool, but not every Color can interact with the opponents graveyard...

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    Depending on deffinition of cute. Sitting around pondering and spinning sensei's divining top while trying to set up your weird 5 card combo that kills someone slowly: not so great assembling the aristocrats engine that gives you value, and all the cards are mostly interchangeable: Little more...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Mid Patch thoughts: This card should probably cost BB, it's still a bit too strong at hosing aggro. Good lord when he was just a 2/1 undying for B1. I know this card needs to exist, but it's looking like anything stronger than Butcher Ghoul is REALLY strong. Another card that is proving...

    Parapet is actually a sweet card in kahns draft, and kind of everything you want from an early defensive card like that. Possibly lobber crew?

    Pontiff gains a lot if you've got a sac outlet though, and a one sided infest is super sweet reward for 2 colors + sac outlet + disposable creature

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    I've found mimic vat a nice reward for control decks, and totally manageable. But then, my enviornment is pretty fast. I do love the adorable little graveyard hate it does though :P Killing something like TukTuk, Throwing him on the vat and then swapping whats on the vat later so his dies...

    Probably a good start. If you wanna get people over here, leading with the small stuff sounds like a better tatic than "HAY GUYZ YUU SHOULD RUN FAWR GRAVECRAWLERZ"

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    That's fair, I don't really have reanimator in my list. RE: Duplicant, I just found that he wasn't appreciably better than nekkrataal (even considering the colorlessness) to warrent the 2 extra mana. Sure you could play it in green, but I always found it was better to play better green cards...

    It helps a lot if you just level 0 your first few games. Damn thing would have taken near 45 minutes if me and my friends had tried to next level each other being all like "Well, I want to draw, but Heather is probably going to draw so I'll produce instead, but if she doesn't then I'm...
