>>> ## {W/P}{U/P}{B/P}{R/P}{G/P} **KULVO KUUBIK** {W/P}{U/P}{B/P}{R/P}{G/P} <<< >>> 540-560 cards + high power + fast + good fixing + combo support<<< ## INTRO Greetings from Tallinn, Estonia! This cube started years ago when I got back into Magic after a 20 year absence. At first it was just a collection of cards I had from that time and a bunch on random (I mean RANDOM) cards I bought from my LGS (from the 1 cent pile). Over time it has evolved into a power-optimized cube that features staples from the illustrious history of MTG as well as newer power-creep goodies. The result is a fast paced, competitive and low variance (in terms of support for archetypes) environment. The low variance is however spiked here and there with "honorary power" like [[Gaea's Cradle]], [[Mox Diamond]], [[Mana Crypt]], [[Sol Ring]], [[Mana Vault]], [[Grim Monolith]] and [[Ancient Tomb]]. All basics are Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty full arts: [[!Island|f0578f26-1396-4e1d-9986-8fc6c55aeb66]] I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I have enjoyed building/tweaking it! ## SUPPORTED DECKS Below is a short "drafters guide" to the more successful decks supported in the cube: >>>{R}**RED DECK WINS**{R}<<< Draft as many one-drops and burn-spells as you can get your hands on. Overwhelm the opponent with cheap threats and finish out with burn. Red deck goes BRRRRRRRRR. <<[[!Lightning bolt]][[!Goblin Rabblemaster|bce84a87-093a-42de-9696-8c3250e0f33b]][[!Goblin Guide]]>> >>>{W}**WHITE WEENIE**{W}<<< All the one-drops, early interaction and disruption. Curve out and overwhelm the opponent with super-efficient creatures before they can establish a board presence. <<[[!Thalia, Guardian of Thraben|8e42df9e-95f2-4c79-9274-2d16e3cd91f1]][[!Isamaru, Hound of Konda]][[!Armageddon]]>> >>>{B}**RECURING AGGRO**{B}<<< Win with cheap recursive creatures that are impossible to get rid of. All of your stuff just keeps coming back and at one point the opponent runs out of removal. Opponent has a board wipe? No problem - all the creatures have recursion. <<[[!Dread Wanderer]][[!Gutterbones]][[!Scrapheap Scrounger]]>> >>>{G}**GREEN FATTIES**{G}<<< Draft all the mana-dorks and ramp to any expensive threat. Not rocket science. <<[[!Birds of Paradise|feefe9f0-24a6-461c-9ef1-86c5a6f33b83]][[!Craterhoof Behemoth|44afd414-cc69-4888-ba12-7ea87e60b1f7]][[!Gaea's Cradle]]>> >>>{B}{U}**REANIMATOR**{B}{U}<<< Draft reanimation spells, any-color-threats and discard outlets. Spice with some efficient removal and mid-range value engines. Turn one [[Griselbrand|b51666ae-2aef-4cb1-9cd4-44aec81530f8]] for the win! <<[[!Reanimate]][[!Jace, Vryn's Prodigy]][[!Griselbrand|b51666ae-2aef-4cb1-9cd4-44aec81530f8]]>> >>>{R}{B}**SAC-FOR-VALUE ARISTOCRATS**{R}{B}<<< Combine recursive threats with death-triggers for damage. Get the jump on the opponent with the early recursive threats or switch it up and grind out the opponent with pinging. <<[[!Dread Wanderer]][[!Blood Artist]][[!Falkenrath Aristocrat]]>> >>>{W}{B}**DISRUPTIVE AGGRO**{W}{B}<<< Combine early threats with early hand-hate and the result is your opponent dead before they have a chance to cast anything. Or by the time they do it is way too late. <<[[!Thoughtseize|65b7275a-5305-42e6-b5c3-8b88568b4e28]][[!Thalia, Guardian of Thraben|8e42df9e-95f2-4c79-9274-2d16e3cd91f1]][[!Kitesail Freebooter]]>> >>>{R}{G}**LANDS MATTER**{R}{G}<<< Draft all the fetches you can get your hands on and engines that care about land-drops. Out value the opponent or lock them out with the ever illusive [[Wrenn and Six]] + [[Strip Mine]] combo. <<[[!Wrenn and Six]][[!Omnath, Locus of Creation]][[!Kazandu Mammoth]]>> >>>{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}**COMBO TOOLBOX**{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}<<< Go infinite with various combos. If you stick the second piece of any two-card combo you win - that's that. <<[[!Heliod, Sun-Crowned]][[!Walking Ballista]][[!Demonic Tutor]]>> >>>{U}{R}**CLASSIC KIKI COMBO**{U}{R}<<< Same as combo toolbox but cooler. <<[[!Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker|a2ff0ee3-9600-4c7d-acec-6ec90595384e]][[!Pestermite]][[!Zealous Conscripts]]>> >>>{U}{R}**CHEAT**{U}{R}<<< Ignore mana costs of huge creatures by cheating them into play with a number of cheat effects. <<[[!Sneak Attack|5b80f424-b368-4542-a71f-56139f03d353]][[!Emrakul, the Aeons Torn]][[!Tinker|7da23b15-dfb8-4267-9b33-d7a4c035c434]]>> >>>{U}{R}**SPELLSLINGER TEMPO**{U}{R}<<< Draft all burn and card-draw spells you can find and combine with value engines that care about spell-casting. Millions of tokens later, you have won. <<[[!Brainstorm]][[!Lightning Bolt]][[!Young Pyromancer]]>> >>>{U}{G}**RAMP CONTROL**{U}{G}<<< Generate an early mana advantage with mana-dorks and then take over the control of the game. <<[[!Llanowar Elves]][[!The Goose Mother]][[!Mystic Confluence]]>> >>>{W}{U}**CLASSIC CONTROL**{W}{U}<<< Boardwipes, counterspells, card selection and planeswalkers. Smoothen your hand with early card selection, counter any threats or wipe the board, generate card advantage with a walker and repeat ad infinitum. <<[[!Counterspell|ffdf9d2a-c163-43df-9a2f-20b8749c86ae]][[!Wrath of God]][[!Teferi, Hero of Dominaria]]>> >>>{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}**ARTIFACT RAMP**{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}<<< Take advantage of cheap artifacts, artifact synergies and generate some explosive turns. <<[[!Urza, Lord High Artificer]][[!Urza's Bauble]][[!Urza's Saga]]>> >>>{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}**FIVE COLOR GOOD STUFF**{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}<<< Draft all the duals, triomes, signets, talsimans and fetches. Combine with the best cards from all colors. If you do not get mana-screwed, you win by average card quality. <<[[!Misty Rainforest]][[!City of Brass]][[!Oko, Thief of Crowns]]>> >>>{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}**BUILD-ARROUNDS**{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}<<< Additionally the following cards are honorable mentions that may be build-arounds for their very own decks: <<[[!Memory Jar]][[!Opposition]][[!Winter Orb]]>> <<[[!Stoneforge Mystic]][[!Channel]][[!Necropotence]]>> <<[[!Gaea's Cradle]][[!Tolarian Academy]][[!Field of the Dead]]>> ## OUTRO The cube is regularly played in Tallinn, Estonia.
