I thought about this when posting the comment.

You mean you're not a dashingly handsome, Brazilian, hall of fame magic player?

I am, but was in disguise as none of those things (except I play Magic) I guess this secret identity is ruined.

nggghhh

hypnotic specter hits me I have 3 lands and a lingering souls (no black mana) in hand. He hits the souls.

next turn I topdeck Gideon Jura. Success! Just need to not have the hyppie dump my gideon...

yep.

[Thestatusquo]

What the fuck deck plays hypnotic spector in what the fuck format?

[Sudo_Nym]

Awesome decks in awesome formats, that's what!

Chamber pointed out to me that cube is a thing right now.

Derp.

Spot on.

Had a sweet deck with token makers, glorious anthem, burn spells and young pyro, but 2 loose keeps and a dose of bad luck made me lose r1

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Went 2-1 with mono-white Human aggro in cube last night, outraced mono red in round 1, made a joke of Naya midrange in round 2, and lost 2-1 to Vedalken Shackles / being on the play in the finals.

Anyone have a list for a good budget cube in the $200 range? I just taught my friends how to draft and they want to keep doing it, and I figure a cube is the best way.
It only has to be 360 cards as they are 6-person drafts.

[Klazam]

You could pick up a fallen empires booster box for 145, and keep on redrafting it.

[diginova]

Why Fallen Empires?

The limited resources cube is a commons/uncommons cube with a few rares thrown in. It's designed to feel like regular limited and imo its quite good.

Probably can cut a few cards:
Sun Ce, for instance, is like 40 bucks for no reason and could easily just be replaced by any five mana unblockable or flying 3/3

Nothing else looks exceptionally expensive except for sylvan library, but thats only like 20 bucks and is an effect you cannot replace easily.

[Thestatusquo]

Or you could do what I did when I first started my cube which is proxy the whole thing out and then replace proxies with actual cards as you get them.

[diginova]

I'm definitely going to start by proxying the big stuff, but I'd prefer as few proxies as possible. I completely forgot about the LR cube, thanks.

[Thestatusquo]

here's the cube list mine is based off of. has a LOT of proxies.

[bv310]

I've drafted the LR cube a couple times, it's really really fun.

[Klazam]

Why Fallen Empires?

Cause its horrible

[Natirasha]

This is my group's cube. It's pretty okay, but I disagree with a few things that the owner's done(mainly, included Storm, which is really parasitic and easy to draft). Mind Twist is also really unfun, but I know it's getting swapped out for Booster Tutor soon(we're in the process of upping it to a 500ish card cube).

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Went 4-3 at my PTQ; played what felt like a relatively powerful Jeskai deck (Herald of Anafenza, Mantis Rider, High Sentinels of Arashin, Kheru Spellsnatcher; not played: Narset) but was lacking in removal other than basically one Kill Shot and a few tempo plays (Crippling Chills, Force Away) and lost the first two rounds before rattling off four straight wins and closing with a loss in the last round. A last round win wouldn't have even likely gotten me into prize support because there were so many X-2 players and my breakers were so awful.
