1) I don't think I will be able to find an The Abyss or Moat, would the Magus' be a acceptable replacement for them.
2) I have never played with the Mox's in a cube, my cube almost directly reflects your own. What is the benefit for adding them? What would I be losing if I exclude them?
I am curious, how did you figure the number of one drop aggro cards to be different in W/B/R. If I am counting what I think to be aggro one drops, there are 6 in B/R and 7 in W. Do you believe this is the correct # as there are some options that can be added to each color.
I was looking at trying Bosh, Iron Golem because he looked like he could fit a myriad of archetypes for the cube environment. what was your experience with this card?
How come no Divining Wand? Also I remember a while ago there was a Derevi deck that had a lock down with Karmic guide, revilark, and mirror entity. I see you already have all the cards in the deck except the Entity.
Background:
I created my cube because of the love I have for the draft format. I began by copying cards from various lists I found online within the confines of a budget. In my time cubing I have learned combos and reasons why certain cards are in many cube lists but there is still more I have to learn. My aim is for my cube to be fun but for the most part fair. I do like combo pieces and interesting deck formations but I do have quite a few newcomers who come to play cube. I like to have a casual feel to make people feel welcome (no turn two emerkul here!).
I am not sure if some of these suggestions are rare but what about aether adept, man of war, griptide, crystal shard. Is your goal to deal as much unblockable damage with Vela's ability and finish with your attacking creatures?
I am extremely new to EDH so I would like to know why you opted out of some cards like Coalition Relic, Sol Ring, or any Swords of X and Y? Oh sorry, I don't know why I missed reading the Sol Ring in there.
Thanks for the discussion, it was very helpful. I have a Pelakka Wurm to replace it with and will continue the search for a Queen (or break down and buy one online).
So I built my cube recently and had to put a place holder for hornet queen till I could find one. This has been the 7CC placeholder and through three drafts people are telling me they really like it. It's 7/7 trample feels very green and if it attacks once thats 14 trample damage across two bodies. I have yet to obtain Hornet Queen and thus have never played with it. Could anyone give me some insight why this is not run over/along side Hornet Queen?
Okay thank you. I do only ban the power nine because I don't like super fast mana (I still keep mox diamond, grim monolith, mana vault, and thran dynamo). I will include him for our draft tonight. Hopefully he gets played!
I just purchased From the Vault today and was wondering if Jace, MS is too powerful to add to my 360 unpowered cube? (Sorry that my cube list is not up on this site yet as I just finished building it this week.)
I have been lurking the digital rendering thread for a few days and would really like to create a cube with alt art for the magic cards like the ones I have seen in that thread. The problem is, I am unsure where to start. Could someone assist me in finding the right program(s) in order to do this and show me either a tutorial on how to do this or if someone is willing to work with me a bit, it would be greatly appreciated.
