About what I figured, thanks. Here's my work in progress. http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/11748 Applying errata to Naya Hushblade to give Hexproof instead of Shroud. Yes, I like living dangerously.

How has this cube been holding up compared to your main one? I'm particularly interested in the Hybrid/Alara Blade aggro package, which I'm stealing for a cube I'm working on right now.

Ah, thanks!

I'm in love with Prophetic Flamespeaker. I kind of want to put in some build-around cards to reward double strike, but I'm not finding a lot aside from the Sword of X and X cycle. Any ideas?

Someone assembled the most ridiculous Necrotic Ooze ever Monday while cubing - graveyard contained Lotleth Troll and Griselbrand among other highlights.

21 cards cut/added - http://cubetutor.com/cubeblog/2877 . Going with the "One Vengevine, Two Wild Mongrel" plan in general. Also added in a spellbomb package and Auriok Salvagers. At the top of the bench waiting to find their spots: Compulsion Tortured Existence Cairn Wanderer Psychatog...

Yeah, I understand proxying is the smarter move, but it just doesn't feel the same.

I'm very curious about Tribal in cube, since I'm trying to support Knights and Zombies in mine. I'm thinking about including some Changelings to help.

Just found a sweet one - Knight Tribal, Zombie Tribal, and GY thematic as heck:

Chris, I think flailing Kafka protagonist is a great description of you.

So, I'm obviously on board with breaking singleton, as it seems most on here are. The question I'm thinking about now is when/why to break singleton. I originally built around the idea of doubling up on the "build-around" cards like Haakon, Vengevine, Spider Spawning, etc. The more I'm thinking...

This general idea is the most interesting thing about designing a cube to me. From reading around here and thinking about my new cube pretty obsessively for the last week or two, I'd like to propose a way to think about cards with 3 roles for cube: 1) Good cards - things like Ponder, Lightning...

I can definitely see cutting the bouncelands at some point, or at least adding a couple more Tec Edge to the utility pile. At least you can play around Tec Edge a little bit more than Wasteland/Strip Mine. At the moment I'm liking the bouncelands for retrace and also as an early discard outlet.

Hi all - What are your experiences on cubing at conventions/GPs/Opens etc? I want to take my cube to PAX but I'm a little worried about the potential of theft. What is the best way to safeguard your cube? Store and play off-site? Hand-cuff it to your wrist secret service style? Am I being...

Finally got to draft it tonight! 6-man, so we had some cards that didn't get drafted. Decks were WBr Tokens, my UR Delver/Burning Vengeance, GWr good stuff, RG aggro, BUG self-mill, and GWB Loam/Haakon. It was pretty sweet, though it quickly became obvious that some of the cards were a little...

If you just want a clean straight-forward black aggro creature, this little guy is pretty nice and flavorful, and combos well with an old standard star: +

Oh wow, speaking of discard outlets, I forgot that this guy existed, I might need to find a copy.

It does look like a cat. I already have Nantuko Monastery, Riftstone Portal, Cephalid Coliseum, Barbarian Ring, and Centaur Garden in the Utility Lands stack. (Along with Grove of the Burnwillows to go with the Punishing Fire I snuck into the red cards). Goblin Bombardment will definitely be...

Gah, those judge promo fetches are beautiful . . . I haven't lusted after a land this much since the Guru lands.

Another thing I'm thinking about building in a couple more cards for is the ability to just Boom Tube your giant Lhurgoyf/Mortivore/Sewer Nemesis at your opponent's face. I've got Fling (and Wreath of Geists on Spikeshot Elder) in already, I might add 1-2 cards from this pool:
