    Matt's Cube (720, unpowered, usually used for multiplayer formats)

    Today was a cube day at my house and the first time I got to use this cube list. We played two drafts. The first one was 2HG, the second one Emperor. Two of the decks can be found in this thread. The increased amount of fixing made a big difference from what I could tell. I love it! I also was...

    General Blue Aggro?

    I thought about adding another Snapcaster but I'm not sure how much it would help the tempo deck. All the control players will be picking them as well. I'd prefer a blue two-drop that is great in tempo but not in control if there was such a thing...

    Article Top 8 Most Oppressive Cube Cards

    What are people's opionions on Upheaval? After my team won 2 Matches we had no business winning in our first draft everyone agreed it should be cut. Of course in Multiplayer it can be much worse than in 1vs1. In one game my teammate had an Obzedat phased out. I had nothing but 6 lands. I cast...

    You can't do any flicker or sacrifice tricks to permanently exile the target anymore with the new wording, so that would be a downgrade i guess.

    I don't play Highlander myself even tough it's rather popular in the German scene so I wouldn't be the one to ask how the games play out. If you're interested there's a bunch of tournament reports and decklists on http://www.magicplayer.org/forum/index.php?board=10.60 .

    Matt's Cube (720, unpowered, usually used for multiplayer formats)

    After tinkering around for a while and doing some cubetutor drafts I decided that I could not fix all of things that were bugging me within the sigleton restriction. So I broke it and I like how it is starting to look. I've added some much needed one-drops to the blue tempo section, added more...

    @cml: I meant the Highlander format that is not EDH. 100 card singleton, no generals, 20 life per player. Mostly played 1vs1 and more competitvely than EDH.

    While GSZ might not have had such a huge impact for EDH, Birthing Pod got banned in regular Highlander because the power of repeatable tutoring effects in a 100card-deck singleton format. I think GSZ would've also had a bigger impact on 100 card decks if your were allowed to run 4 of them. :)

    In a bigger deck you are less likely to draw your engine cards like Pod tough. If you run a lot of silverbullets you might end up with all the wrong ones. But I still think in general you're right.

    Matt's Cube (720, unpowered, usually used for multiplayer formats)

    Thanks for the Feedback! I'll definitely look into adding more fixing. I still try to avoid breaking singleton for this list tough. I also had a feeling that the multicolor section was rather big after doing a couple testdrafts on cubetutor. There are definitely some weaker cards in some guilds...

    While I can see that from a coverage point of view watching only pro players might be more interesting, I think it would be terrible for the players in smaller countries. There was a huge outcry when Nationals were announced to be removed because the chance to get onto the national team is a...

I've been lurking around here for a week or two now and I thought I might aswell just join the fun. :) I first got introduced to cube drafting a couple of years ago by a friend of mine who owns a pretty big powered cube...
