I may actually PM it if I can come up with an argument for my card choices other than "These cards are cool so I put 4 of each into a cube, enjoy"

EDIT: Nvm I don't want Champ status enough to write a bunch of BS about my (lack of) high-level thinking. I literally made that list in 10 minutes :cool:
Someone with disposable income, feel free to put it together and draft it though. It does seem pretty fun except that Tinker is probably a trap.

I know I'm kinda missing the point here but I really hope this contest ends up producing more actual cubes and less circle-jerky tickling JW's pickle joes

It took me over half a year to redesign my own cube. With three booked weekends and a baby girl, I'm pretty sure I don't have the time to cook up a new cube in three weeks time. But, thanks :) I hope this leads to something awesome though!

Its actually not so bad if you just treat it as revamping his existing cube rather than building from the ground up.

I'm sure my entry will be super boring though lol

Riptide Survivors?
On topic, I went ahead and submitted my stupid Squad Cube after all. It can be cut to 360 using a method outlined in its new cube list thread, but I don't actually want to win, soooo

Taking the suggestions above and working toward balancing the colors a bit, here's the second iteration:

148x Gravecrawler
148x Brainstorm
55x Champion of the Parish
4x Birthing Pod
1x Lightning Bolt
2x Wooded Foothills
2x Fire-Belly Changeling (Zombie, Human, and increases the red count)

This is a work in progress, so keep the critiques coming!

Actually just spent like half an hour tweaking the primary list. Triple fetch is interesting, gotta figure out ways to abuse it and what it actually means for draft decks in terms of fixing. I forgot how few 360 cards was though, it feels weird not having room for sweet stuff. I'll just add to sideboard I guess.

It's not actually triple fetch. I think it's 26 fetchlands.
