Feb 4, 2014Bankrupt on Baltic posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card is Mother of Runes. She was my favorite when I played in middle school. She was my favorite as a four of in my monstrous casual White Weenie deck in college. And now she is my favorite card in my cube. Everyone is afraid of Mom.Posted in: Announcements

I also want to move away from stealing creatures as a primary function of blue particularly because I don't own any of the really good creature stealing cards.
I'm looking for more of a tempo package and a few splashier effects that my group would want to first pick. I'm also trying to push a unified token theme across all five colors. Still, I've only come up with three cards I want to add.
I need some serious help from you guys.

Why post now after three years of lurking around on the cube forums? My original goal was to eventually mold my cube into the perfect 360 unpowered cube so that my players could experience the very pinnacle of cubing, but recently I realized that there are a few problems with that logic. We don't play often enough for everyone to learn the intricacies of the card interactions. We rarely cube with more than 4 players which skews the decks away from anything that's not mid-range creature parties. My players tend to avoid two out of the five colors, meaning that every draft is a war over the other three.
My goal now is to create a cube that caters to my group specifically, which means less dedication to archetype specific cards, and making every color a color my players want to draft.
Cut two:
Balance
Journey to Nowhere
Seal of Cleansing
Unexpectedly Absent
Spear of Heliod (I'm attempting a token theme across Naya)
Ajani Goldmane
Faith's Fetters
Parallax Wave
Council's Judgment
Banishing Light
Cut two:
Seal of Cleansing
Unexpectedly Absent
Banishing Light
Council's Judgment
Except that this has happened before in the same way. The names of Theros, Innistrad, and Dark Ascension were all found out from trademarks, and since I've started coming to salvation, there has never been a trademark thread that wasn't for a magic product.
And Colossus of Akros. You know it's going to ruin someones day.
How often do you play EDH? I personally founf the cube to be a much more worthwhile place for my "good" cards. In the cube, everyone in your group gets the benefit of them instead of hating them during a three hour game. I'm not a huge EDH fan though.
Mortify is the cut because it is the least interesting as well as the least powerful of those cards.
On topic: Firebolt or Lightning Strike?
