General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

[Eric Chan]

I will say, I don't think I've seen a draft where someone cast Isamaru, Kird Ape, and Cruel Ultimatum. All in the same game.

Also maybe it's just me but isn't fireblast mostly a 0 drop? I've literally never paid it's mana cost...
I guess you could argue for 2 since it requires two lands, but you also aren't turn 2ing it either, unlike something like cloud of faeries

Oh good god we need a list

is tangle wire fun? (in a riptide-style cube i mean)

Tangle Wire is a fun and unique card without being oppressive. In my cube all the decks are very low CMC so it usually creates very interesting board states.

Sadly, I took apart the deck this morning already. He did have 4 fetchlands, 9 shocklands, Bloodbraid Elf, Shardless Agent, and Edric, among other things. And the cruelest of ultimatums, which he cast on two separate occasions.

the forum doesnt display zero drops well so i edited it and put it on the right side because its generally the last spell you cast in a game if everything goes well

I tried to make control and midrange better. Naturally, an aggro deck won.. and a mono-colour one at that.

Monoblack Aggro, With Special Cameo From Karn (He's Liberated He Can Do Whatever He Wants)

Eldrazi Monument used to be Sheoldred for about a quarter to a half of the matches until I swapped in Eldrazi Monument in a sideboard and never looked back.

 

[Lucre]

I was constantly terrified you'd draw the 2nd blood artist and it would just be lights out for me.

When my deck won, it was usually on the shakiest of legs.

 

[DohBoy]

Lucas is too good. I can't beat him. I think he needs to be tested for performance enhancing drugs. =P

P.S. I never drafted the 2nd blood artist b/c I was drafting blue thinking that I had a runechanters and delvers and all the blue cards that scry and fix the top of your deck and such. (ponder/preordain/etc.)

 

[Dom Harvey]

How was Eldrazi Monument?

 

[Jason Waddell]

I don't know about in that deck, but I love love love Eldrazi Monument in both of my cubes. Such a unique card with many fun interactions.

 

[Lucre]

I had so much fun 2 weeks ago when I played Wilson in the ramp mirror and every game I thought I stabilized the monument would come down and I would just sit there cross eyed while he did like 8 to me.

I love it when green decks surprise. It's a good feeling.

 

[Eric Chan]

I love me some Eldrazi Monument. It's like a colourless Overrun, except good. And often unbeatable.

 

[DohBoy]

It was great. Often it came down after Whip of Erebos which made it even better and it allowed all my lowly 1 drops to have flying and swing in for the win. It also allowed me to cast damnation once for a one-sided wrath!

Kids these days. "One-sided wrath"? The only term I'll accept is Plague Wind.

 

[DohBoy]

Lol, some of us folks played before plague wind was made. One-sided wrath it is!

I uh... *averts gaze* started in Scars of Mirrodin

 

[James Stevenson]

Oh man poor you, you must have had a terrible impression of limited. Was that your motivation to make good draft formats?

 

[Jason Waddell]

Why do you think I wrote the Poison Principle?

 

[CML]

ah, but what about "decks that have 0-3'ed your cube"

Pure Tempo

 

[Jason Waddell]

Threat density. Or utter lack thereof.

 

[CML]

yes that is connoted by "Pure Tempo"

 

[Jason Waddell]

Yeah, there's nothing about that deck that doesn't seem bad. Extra laughs at Mentor of the Meek in that deck. There are like, two cards in that deck that can actually win games. Actually probably just one. Nephalia Drownyard.
