Prison term, and yes it is. basically what wtwlf123 said.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I am petitioning for the end of: the Mythic rarity, the Planeswalker card type, the post-8th edition card faces, the 2010 rule changes, colorless cards that aren't artifacts or lands, the Legendary supertype, the stack, auras, multicolor cards, artifact creatures, tokens, goblins, merfolk, elves, sorceries, instants, and permanents. Basically, I just want to play with purple contraptions.
Copy this sig to join the cause. Cuz, ya know, Wizards makes decisions based on sigs.
My only disagreement would be that we didn't really care for Trenches in the cube. Others have had lots of success with it, though, so I can't really argue against it. It just didn't work for us.
Thanks for the input. Adding/cutting is getting more and more difficult. I've got a chunk of my cube spread out on my desk trying to fit the cards I got at the prerelease in.
Chandra Ablaze - Snreak Attack, Genju or Ghitu Encampment. Comet Storm - none of the X spells. Otherwise see above Ob Nixilis, the Fallen - Hmmm. Whichever 4 drop you like least out of Mirri the Cursed, Phyrexian Scuta, and Plague Sliver. Phyrexian Rager? Eyeblight’s Ending maybe?
Eyeblight's Ending seems like the weak link in your black section and Ob Nixilis should replace it (he's really good.) If you don't want to do that, Mirri is probably the weakest creature.

I had already cut Sneak Attack (for Arc Lightning) but missed that on my last update. Thanks.
I was thinking of cutting one of my removals for Ob Nixilis. Which is better, Nameless Inversion or Eyeblight's Ending? Both have been decent but not up to Terror/Doom Blade/Diabolic Edict level of kills spells.
I really love Phyrexian Rager. I can see a time where he will not make the cut, but I don't think this is the time.
I'll miss Ghitu Encampment, but that looks like a logical cut for Chandra.
Except that Sneak Attack was already cut. I'd be happy to cut the Genju, but I feel like my red 1-drops are sparse already. Of course, Genju isn't really a 1-drop, so maybe that works.
I lilke most of this change. The only thing I don't like is the removal of Goblin Welder, even though I understand why you remove it. It's a very tight card that are used rarely, but I still like it.

Me too. I love everything else. Chandra ABlaze and Welder are equally narrow, in my experience, and I'd rather have the extra Prison/Mud/Artifact support than the Mono-Red/Ramp/Big Red support. *meh*
Am I the only one that thinks Djinn of Wishes shouldn't be on that list?
Feel free to test the card, but it didn't fulfill my expectations at all. Instead of this, I often revealed lands, counters, X spells.
Ya, I think he's kinda butt as well. Blue is so broken in the cube... this thing is just out of place.

The Djinn is totally just a test. It looks interesting and it might be good enough. I suspect I'll run it for a few drafts and either go back to Body Double or bring in Kira, Great Glass-Spinner.
I totally see the power of Welder, but it has never done anything in my cube. My group overall won't draft it, so it feels like a wasted slot in my particular circumstances. If I Power-up my cube, I think he becomes an autoinclude, but for now I want that slot to be something my group will use. There are two players in my group that are really nuts for planeswalkers and draft them highly, so I expect Chandra II will get a good trial--even if she ultimately ends up not being good enough. With this change, I'm bowing to the preferences of my play group.
I knew Welder and Djinn would be the controversial choices.
I want to add Kor Skyfisher. Should I cut Prison Term or Mistral Charger?
Is Keldon Vandals better than Sulfur Elemental?

Prison Term if you're short on creatures.
Yes it is.

I'd cut Sneak Attack and Genju for Chandra and Comet Storm, and leave the Encampment alone.
