I've been keeping track of wins and loses since I started my cube on an iphone tournament app ,but I've been thinking about moving to a google docs spreadsheet or something that can be kept online.
A mistake I made in the beginning was not keeping track of what types of decks were being drafted so I could see how things changed over time as people learned new archetypes. I'm looking to change that basically.
Is it just me or is not many people a fan of recoil around here?
It's always been a pretty good fit in my cube mainly due to UB inability to deal with any permanent.
My UB Section is
Baleful Strix
Duskmantle Seer
Recoil
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
The UB decks that are drafted are typically some kind of artifact/reanimation deck trying to cheat things in or UB Tempo.
Also i've never tried Nemesis of Reason. Would anyone with experience with it in their cube let me know how it was viewed or performed? I generally try to avoid mill if it's too bleh (Anime Jace) ,but I don't mind mixing things up.
Just wondering what are people's opinion on cataclysm in cube. I have been using it almost as a second Armageddon style card that can be abused if timed right. I do not currently have ravages of warsince I don't run proxies.
So far it has lead to some blow outs but can def have drawbacks. The nicest part is that it forces planeswalkers to be sacrificed.
I've had this cube for about a year now and it started as a budget cube and has slowly grown and turned from a mostly common/uncommon into a rare cube.
I orignally posted this 6 months ago ,but never finished my original post.
Take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions.
In Pox decks I have found reanimation of cards from my opponent's graveyard to be an effective sub-strategy. Because my opponent is having his mana base attacked he is often inclined to discard his more expensive cards in hand. If those cards happen to be creatures, I can then steal 'em for cheap.
This is pretty much why I asked initially asked this question. Exhumed seemed like a better option for combo reanimator with things like turn 3 Inkwell Leviathan and not worrying about a disenchant
On the other hand more Pox style strats benefit a lot from having the option to take away opponents discards
I will probably just keep exhume in maybe decide to cut something else from black because I really do like Dance of the Dead. Probably because of the art mainly lol.

How do you guys keep track of things?
Spreadsheets?
iphone or android apps?
Journals? Pen and paper?
Don't care?
Just looking for any ideas
Thanks

My cube playgroup tends to be around 6.
Attempted googling and looking around but couldn't find any decent sources without getting into random two headed giant stuff.
Are teams usually decided before draft begins ? Or just rolled for after draft for trading and strats?
Thanks for any advice or insight.
60 of each color
60 artifact
50 lands
40 gold
I have been considering expanding by a little and increasing gold by 1 each guild and another land.
That would be put me at 470 and the percent of gold would go up to about 10 percent of the cube.
Would that just be way too much for the size?
It's too bad I really like the art on him and some of the other innistrad wheenies that aren't currently in my cube.

I love ETB abusers so it has me interested.
Really wish they would make a new black faceless butcher that is 3 mana since this was printed.

I would like to thank the community for all the content that has helped shape my cube to what it is today.

Reanimate, animate dead, recurring nightmare, and necromancy already in. Trying to decide on 5th
Any suggestions would be appreciated
