Did a few edits to the Cube. Would like to compare certain card choices against other cubes for discussion. I realize there is a lack of 1 drops compared to other cubes but aggro feels stronger this way. As cube is a variation of highlander, I feel as though it is better to curve out and maintain aggressiveness rather than focus on early drops that lose steam too quickly in the format.
The loss of DOS is horrible since i play mono blue edh. However the emptying of mana pools during each phase is what i don't like about the change not so much the loss of burn.
