Holiday Cube - 12/21/14

Facebook Comments Box

Hey everybody! Merry Christmas to all those that celebrate it, happy holidays to everyone else. I've been drafting a lot of the holiday cube and finding success for the most part. Although I haven't won one yet, I've gone 2-1 three times, and only gone 1-2 once, so overall not bad. The holiday cube definitely seems much more aimed at combo-ey, control things and much less at aggro-ey, face-stomping (much to my chagrin). I will say that a chance to play with power 9 is always welcome, and a good way to learn some valuable lessons about optimal plays that can leave your opponent in the dust way early into a game. I think I'm beginning to resign myself to strategies other than aggro, more out of necessity than choice. The old blue/green ramp deck to me is the true cube ramp deck. Using the drawing and countering of blue alongside the stompy fat-fat and ramp of green really does lead to some ridiculous card advantage. I appreciate everyone for the comments and hope you all have a wonderful holiday. In the meantime, enjoy plenty of holiday content.

Thanks!
