    Alright, at least it hasn't gone the way of mana leak

    General Where did you start with cube?

    I started cubing around Ravnica: City of Guilds, pretty early on in cube's life. This was right around the point in my magic experience where masticore was this mythical creature I'd only heard of in flavor texts, and the amazing cards in standard at the time like mortify and watchwolf convinced...

    I can't remember, do we get pacifism anymore?

    I like it too. I think if you get to 7 mana in green you should be rewarded with it being real hard to kill you. Avenger of Zendikar does this quite nicely as well, but the evasion on hornet queen does good putting games away now that you aren't dying, whereas avenger occasionally just sits...

    Card/Deck Token/Sacrifice themes in Red

    I like him, because every time he's hit the table I've looked at my hand and board and gone "Thank god I actually have a removal spell" That isn't the same amazing endorsement as "He won 6 games alone this one draft", but we all know how good mother of runes is and it has a similar reputation

    There's Also Consuming Vapors, which really does help with how much black hurts itself thesedays

    Card/Deck Kill it with fire (let's talk removal)

    I will say, Soul Reap has actually been really bad for me :( Black's usual doom blade wheelhouse has a bit of self synergy, in that since you're drafting black cards, you're less likely to run into opposing black creatures. Soul Reap has the that problem in spades, especially since I find...

    Honestly now that murder has been printed, I don't think we need murder with a downside and 5 times as much text as it needs to have

    MCMcEmcee's Cube~ [450]

    Having read that article on how ensoul is to be used in affinity, it gives me the jitters in cube. It either sits dead, or acts as a 2-3 mana 5/5 haste. That's a hell of a power differential! I try and dodge cards that are either insane or horrible, for the most part

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Maybe it's not. Maybe the first ability involves paying life somehow. Or maybe both abilities involve gaining life, and the ult involves paying it somehow. Maybe a hatred emblem? Kuro, Pitlord?

    Should it be "only black or colorless"?

    General Riptidelab mostly-custom cube attempt #1

    Literally days ago, I only recently started playing :P I GET IT NOW. THIS IS LIKE REALIZING THE WORD "Heroes" IS IN THEROS!!! Yeesh! I think the lifegain is a bit insane on this one. Even going land, this is double bolt + gain 6, and god forbid you have other landfall triggers. Without the...

    Good thought about frost lynx actually. I always wanted it to be :1::u: for a 2/1 because power level amirite? Man o War would be insane at that cost

    General Riptidelab mostly-custom cube attempt #1

    They do sadly, as I found out in my first arena. Enrage does indeed have memory issues, but I've got silence worded right now as it exiles the creature and gives a token with the same P/T That way it gets rid of all the auras, +1/+1 counters and such, and gets rid of abilities as well. Yeah...

    General Riptidelab mostly-custom cube attempt #1

    Nah not mana wurm, Mana Addict. The one that gets the temporary +2/+0. I got the choice of it (a 2 mana 1/3 in my warrior deck, it turns out, as I had only weapons and a single cleave as targets)
