Draft
This is the deck I ran at my draft last night and ended up going 3-0 with. Just wanted to get some feedback if there are cards that I was running that I shouldn't have.
Originally I was running the Seismic Rupture main board, but after the first game of the first round having the card clog up my hand I decided to take it out for a lose calm since my deck played fast enough where it could do good things for me. Some notable cards I passed on are Deadly Wanderings (twice in the same pack), Shambling Goblin, Kolaghan Skirmisher, Ukud Cobra, and Commune with Lava
I think that Butcher's Glee should be ranked higher than a 1.6. It's a card that if you pick you should be running because at worst its like a 3 mana kill spell, but at best it can blowout your opponent or save your biggest threat with the regenerate. I got blown out by it when my opponent was playing fast RB and killed my only blocker. Last night I used it to turn 2 games around by killing their biggest threat while gaining enough life for a safe cushion at the same time. I wouldn't rate it as a bomb, but I think it deserves to be better than "fringe playable"
Vaultbreaker actually put in a lot of work for me. I lost my first two rounds when I wasn't running it due to lack of creatures, but switched some win more spells out for 2 of these guys and the turn 3 loot plus 4 damage really tips the game early. Also got to use my opponent's Humble Defector with my own Refocus for a very unexpected 5 cards on my turn 3
Updated my cube and finished adding all of the sections. The list is what I'm running right now, but of course am looking to add more cards as good ones come out and such. Looking for some feedback to maybe cut underwhelming cards and add some budget-ish better cards.
Introduction
Cube is something that I picked up towards the end of my friends and I taking a shot at standard during high school. When college came around playing in tournaments became harder and people lost interest when we all had to split ways. To keep us still playing Magic since it is still a game we all enjoy playing I decided to make a cube so that we can play when everyone is back in town for holidays and breaks. My cube might not fit very well into the idea of a staple cube and may seem kind of weird, that just be my own weird take or due to a lack of knowledge on the format. It's my first post here so be gentle Looking for any feedback or some cards I may be missing that are strong/fun but not very expensive since I don't have much "fun money" right now.
I hope you guys enjoy looking at the list as much as I've liked looking at all of yours.
Some cube info Size: started as 360 kept it at 360 for a while but have started to add more cards in an attempt to reach a large enough pool for a 10 man draft Breakdown: roughly 50 in each color, 60 total multi color, 40ish lands, 40 colorless cards Theme? Nope Average PodMost often run 8 man full drafts with some Winston drafts here and there Proxies? Nope, I prefer playing with legitimate cards. Un-cards?No, but looking to add in a Booster Tutor as soon as I get one.
My blue section is a little weak right now, partly because some of the blue cards have been a little more expensive than I can afford and blue isn't really my color, so let me know of any budget suggestions for blue if you have any
