hey man,
This deck looks really similar to what I have going right now. The only difference really, is that in place of the 2 Wall of Tanglecords, I have 2x Ezuri's Archers. It trades with Delver of Secrets and kills Moorland Haunt tokens all day. Yeah, it can't do a thing about Mirran Crusader like the Wall can, but not many options in that department, until we hit the sideboard. Another difference is that I'm playing 1 more 1 drop ramper in Llanowar Elves. Other than that man, the deck looks eerily similar! I don't have a sideboard yet, but I'd love to hear your sideboarding strategies. I see you have Snags and Missteps in the side, maybe sideboarding in Snapcaster Mages along with those might work? Anyways, I'd love to hear how the deck is working for you, including the sideboard. Thanks!
Oh.. and that 10/10 seems ok, but the lack of trample makes me really sad! hahah
We got a 4-man cube draft in last week. I made the Jumpstart Changes for that cube and it was a ton of fun.
I played a Rakdos aggro deck, and we also had a 4-color deck, Selesnya Midrange, and U/W Fliers. I ended up taking it down with a pretty cool list. Very synergistic. Synergy is something I've been focusing on a lot more lately, making sure that my guilds are very much supporting what I want them to be and making sure every color has the tools it needs to synergize with other colors.
Anyways, here's the list:
1x Chained Brute
1x Blood Artist
1x Lazotep Reaver
1x Lampad of Death's Vigil
1x Nocturnal Feeder
1x Spiteful Prankster
1x Fire Imp
1x Cunning Sparkmage
1x Mayhem Devil
1x Beetleback Chief
1x Skinrender
1x Sling-Gang Lieutenant
1x Syr Konrad, the Grim
1x Charging Monstrosaur
1x Inquisition of Kozilek
1x Dismember
1x Lightning Bolt
1x Burst Lightning
1x Incinerate
1x Forbidden Friendship
1x Wrangle
1x Lava Coil
1x Hordeling Outburst
1x Goblin War Party
8x Mountain
7x Swamp
1x Thriving Isle
Power Rankings: No major movers.
Season 10 (Draft #4 of 20) Charging Monstrosaur joins the tie for 1st with it's 2nd win!
With that being said, I like this Spare Supplies card. Not sure if I like it more than the previous 3 I mentioned, but I'm not going to just gloss over these type of effects anymore like I used to.
The parasitic nature of this set hinders our playables for sure, but I haven't been that impressed with much else.
Considering we have been hand fed some serious power creep over the past couple years, I guess I can't be too disappointed for a weaker set for us.
Here's the list:
1x Chainweb Aracnir
1x Paradise Druid
1x Baleful Strix
1x Eternal Witness
1x Thrashing Brontodon
1x Llanowar Visionary
1x Savvy Hunter
1x Tomebound Lich

1x Briarhorn
1x Vampire Sovereign
1x Mulldrifter
1x Skysnare Spider

7x Forest
4x Swamp
2x Island
1x Sandsteppe Citadel
1x Seaside Citadel
1x Ash Barrens
1x Mirrodin's Core

Power Rankings: Mulldrifter is now in 1st place overall with its 53rd win! This is Chainweb Aracnir, Paradise Druid, Llanowar Visionary, Goremand, Cry of the Carnarium and Ulcerate's 1st win!
Season 10 (Draft #3 of 24): There is a 7-way tie for 1st with 2 wins!

With this whole pandemic going on in the world, it's been near impossible to get a cube going for the past few months. I finally have a cube lined up for this afternoon, so I'm excited to get back into it.
I still have a winning decklist from a few months ago that I'll post right now. As for the new set, changes will be made as soon as I can obtain some of the new cards. I haven't done anyting magic related for a few months, so I'll slowly get back into cubing on a regular basis hopefully. I really missed playing paper magic with actual human beings.
I keep wishing to be more active on this forum too. I'll try to chime in on more threads.

Season 9 (Draft #23 of 24): Murderous Cut and Demonic Tutor still lead going into the final draft!
You and me both. The most important cards that I'd advise anyone to have in their cube to support the U/G archetype is Frilled Mystic and Brineborn Cutthroat. Otherwise, the key to supporting the flash archetype is to have flash creatures at all CMCs and run counters/bounce spells in your cube. It's not hard to support, but it's just about balancing the flash creatures at the different CMCS.
I obviously support that as my main archetype in Simic, so all 4 of my guildspots are dedicated to it.
Flash creatures/Counterspells/Bounce spells. I think that's the recipe for a solid flash deck. It's incredibly powerful to be able to hold up mana waiting to interact with your opponent with a counterspell or cheap bounce spell and then have them do nothing, which in turn lets you cast your flash creature EoT.
As for Beast Attack... the card definitely seems decent, but I probably overlooked it because of the triple green casting cost. I need a bigger payoff if I'm using triple green to cast it.
Here's the winner:
1x Signal Pest
1x Dreadmalkin
1x Vampire of the Dire Moon
1x Siren Stormtamer
1x Blood Artist
1x Lampad of Death's Vigil
