Lover of music, games, cats, and good books. I play a lot of mtg and got to help CubeCon 2024 happen!
I do my best to be both of 'em.

This time around I wanted to play with the no-cost suspend cards like Ancestral Vision or Restore Balance, and I drafted a lot of mine to create this UG ramp-cheat deck.

An absolute blast, and a great way to celebrate a friend's birthday!

A few of the recent iterations have made midrange appear to an extent, but they're not premier archetypes. GB garbo used to be a winrate death knell, now it's an actual thing to draft.

I do agree the samey-ness of vintage cubes can be a drawback, especially when it comes to WX aggro.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've yet to flip my own Grist, still hunting the elusive Magma Opus -> Arcane Bombardment.

I got welded hard the last time I drafted Chicago too. It's the boogeyman for sure.

Was the rw deck a welder deck?

Cube?

This cube idea is a blast! We named ours after holiday fruitcake as we did our original draft during the December holidays and I was psyop'd into adding Sol Ring.

30-40 is a good range, depending on how many nonbasics they're drafting as well. Are you expecting a lot of 2 color decks? Go towards 40. 3+ colors easy to draft? You could scoot closer to 30.

Do you have a link for your cube list?

I see someone hasn't played a draw 7 into a draw 7 into a draw 7 into...

It's worth it, most of the stuff for iPod classics is plug-and-play replacements. The bluetooth and USB-C stuff requires some soldering. You can also install custom firmware (with an installer, super easy) that'll let you run Doom on it.

How about Doubleton All Combo As, No Combo Bs?
