Pauper Cube – Decklists from the Finals of a Draft
So there we were, the eight of us on a typical Monday night doing none other that Pauper Cube Drafting. We had some regulars like myself, Ryan, Roy, Bryan, & Brandon as well as Chris, Josh and Ian who have Cubed before but haven’t drafted our Pauper Cube. We usually like to try and draft at least once a week to break up the play testing for tournaments and trying out new standard decks.
The Beginning of a Cube and the Squirrelpocalypse!
Hi, and welcome to Cuber DJ’s article!
My name is David, and I live in Orlando, Florida. I have been playing MAGIC since 1998 and have logged hundreds, possibly thousands, of hours playing what I consider to be the greatest game ever made. My love of MAGIC eventually motivated me to check out cube drafting. I’ve been an avid cube fan and cube owner for over 3 years now.
Avacyn Restored – Release Event Sealed Pool & Decklist
I went to a local Release event last Friday and had a blast. I ended up splitting in the finals and netting a good stack of packs and playset of the Promo Restoration Angel‘s! I was happy to split in the finals as my opponent was playing U/W fliers had a Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, Divine Deflection and a Goldnight Redeemer with a few unblockables to boot. Below is my sealed pool and below that is the deck I chose to run. I ended up winning the round before the finals with a “Miracle” off the top (aka Revenge of the Hunted) and of course it tilted my opponent (but I was all smiles). Look at what I put together and let me know if you would have done anything differently.
Avacyn Restored Sealed: First Thoughts
After clocking some playtime with the new set, I wanted to give my initial thoughts on the cornerstones of this sealed format. Bombs, removal, mana fixing, and the type of deck you are constructing are critical in finding success in this limited format, so lets break down each of those for AVR.
Avacyn Restored Sealed Pool Exercise
I was fortunate enough to be able to play in a few sealed events over the weekend. While all three pools presented multiple options, the first pool seemed to have infinite builds. I am going to post the card pool along with an email to find out how others would construct the pool. Then next week, I will go into detail on the different builds that I tried along with what other readers post.
Avacyn Restored Limited – Commons to Not Overlook
Like many of you I am your average joe magic player, getting in games when possible, but working 40 plus hours a week and raising a beautiful family takes time 🙂 This is not an in depth review of the entire limited format. For the most part everyone knows cheap removal, aggressively costed creatures (high power/toughness to low casting cost), and creatures with evasion are early pics. In case you are planning to attend any of the pre release events this weekend here is a quick look at a handful of commons that might get over looked at first glance.
