The best decks in this format, ranked: 1) UB Counter control WITH PESTILENCE/JUSTICE 2) RW trumpet blast tokens (#1 if you avoid above) 3) UW token/tempo/control/card advantage. 4) red burn 5) WB Value/control (token sub theme) 6) Red aggro (truly depends on life gain/early removal) 7) U/x Counter based control 8) W/G tokens/Auras 9) green based ramp Seems like green is the worst color given the extreme amount of removal/two for ones and the prevalence of counters, aggro burn. Tokens seems like the best due to its ability to get under/go around big monsters and makes one for one removal look really bad. Bonesplitter/Morningstar are high picks as they make your tokens into real threats. Basically this format boils down to red Aggro, contro and , x for ones. with tokens going around everyone and battling pestilence/evincars justice for dominance. Edit fun note Antillectual is the current trophy leader. So that something.
I've had some decent success with green based ramp. The secret is splashing good cards from other colors (aka like green ramp with justice/crypt rats). Then you have chonky dudes that survive the wraths and a way to stop tokens.
Caleb Gannon sure so basically just g/b evincar/pestilence/rats but instead of counters/card advantage you replace it with giant monsters that die to infinite pacifisms in the format. I could see that working but not exactly being “top tier”.
to kill blockers. if I can remove a 3/3 and get in a hit with a 3 power creature, rift bolt essentially did 3 damage anyway while also removing their guy.
I can not stress this enough, always suspend rift bolt turn one. Ot is the slowest burn spell in your deck and you typically want to lead with those especially against control as they need to resolve first. You don't want to have to suspend a rift bolt on turn 4-6 as they see it coming also and if they don't play a dork into it you gain tempo. Great video as always and keep it up!
Caleb definitely don't know how to play burn. Surprise, blockers doesn't matter when opponent is dead. Go big or go home is a way of life for this kind of players
@@CalebGannon 15:49 for example... You almost lose this game because you didn't use lightning strike here. And this is first game, same mistake happens almost in all of the games.
Personally, I think you should always suspend Rift Bolt T1. You either kill a crappy dork and get tempo, deal 3 damage to the face and maybe get tempo, or kill a threat. Seems good to me.
Dude, game one was like a mirror match of calebs UB deck vs the red deck from the last cube, heart fire /burn stuff vs epheromon/evincarrs justice what :0
*Coughs violently in response to evincar's justice*
I need these while I "self isolate"
(Totally not just using it as an excuse to cut work)
I won't tell :)
please draft this cube as much as you can
I plan on it. It is so much fun! Only like 3 days left though :/
"I don't know if infinite discard really exist in pauper". Well, ratlock and Raven's crime surely come close.

Im pretty sure it’s always correct to suspend rift bolt on 1 with burn.
constructed burn yes, idk about burn in cube though where there are more creatures and less burn spells
second pack 14th pick -> terramorphing expanse --> speachless....
Literally no reason to not suspend Rift Bolt turn one with this deck.

Caleb Gannon Your deck had 87 burn spells in it.
Burning-Tree Emissary is basically fixing.

I honestly haven't played much burn so you're probably right, is there a specific time you can point to where I messed up?
17:05 you could've burst lightning on endstep, untap and strike/heartfire for lethal

*red first pick*
*42 min video*
Yeah, checks out.
dude, ur getting more and more popular on mtgo haha XD
Omg this is the best format! I want to buy it, where can I find the list??
at 21:41 why not use scorched's ability and sac a dude to ping the gryff into searing blaze instead of using a 3 mana rift bolt?
I'm loving this format. You slightly underrate Suq'ata Lancer I think, flanking is strong in a format of X/1's.
it's good, but I wanna hit for lots of damage :p
Always suspend rift bolt tho
Dude, game one was like a mirror match of calebs UB deck vs the red deck from the last cube, heart fire /burn stuff vs epheromon/evincarrs justice what :0
I really cringed whenever he didn’t suspend riftbolt. But nice content dude
About how thorn of the black rose has gone up....
I might just give this a go today
is there a cube list somewhere ?
More please
oh man i have to play this cube too. Fun deck, well not for your opponents tho xD
Please do a mystery booster episode/stream/series!
