Insane deck Marshall, disagree with some of the picks but none of the important ones To all those hating on cube, if you go 2-1 in a swiss you get your entry fee back, I haven’t spent a penny to draft cube this holidays and I got 3 rounds every time, I repeat not one penny if that is not the definition of good value I don’t know what is. The only downside is you don’t get packs for the throwback format if you win however I am fine with that, I would rather cube anyway!

I think Time Walk was just better than Mox Pearl in this particular deck.

Early game, it has roughly the same effect: it ramps you a mana. And in this case, Time Walk is going to ramp you on-color, unlike Mox.

Late game, though, it has synergy with all three of your Planeswalkers and can always be flashed back with Snapcaster Mage.

Absolutely insane deck Marshall! You’ve come a LONG way since your first cube draft that I watched all that time ago *sniff sniff* makes me so proud!

At the end there where you fact or fiction for swamp+island+cryptic command, he gives you Lands or cryptic as you’d expect. What do you think of the play of giving you all three or nothing? You have a million lands already and only 8 cards in library, and he has a healthy life total. How much do the extra two mana really help compared to the two draw steps?

Such a great deck. I think you could have taken stuff like Buried Alive in pack two in case you got the Reanimate like you did, but you had plenty of value and card draw anyway. Grim Monolith was also a strong pick, with the Wurmcoil in the next pack for rubins.

Amazing video and well played!

Also: Match 1 Game 2 you could have just + Jace and THEN still Mind Twist him or 5, that way you could have kept your Jace on a high loyalty count for more -1 activations and still gotten rid of your opponent’s entire hand.
