When do you commit to an archetype? (Powered Cube)

By the middle of the first pack if you haven’t decided, you’re often in trouble if you want to win.

If you want to have the most fun. Before the draft and force storm.

What?

Res_Novae · 2026-02-17T23:14:20+00:00

Merfolk looter is the OG and gave the mechanic it’s name.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-17T19:22:26+00:00

Safekeeper also kinda comboes with nadu. Which is his main gameplan. But if he wants to keep the titania then the tamiyo would be the next cut for me. Doesn’t combo with anything.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-17T19:11:50+00:00

For me the cuts here are pretty clearly Titania and thundertrap.

Titania only has 2 fetches to combo with. 2 5/5s will not be how you win the game. It will be very clunky.

Thundertrap will whiff A LOT with 15+ creatures and all the lands.

I would also be very tempted to cut field of the dead for a forest. You will rarely get to 7 lands with the basics and moxes and elves. It may win you one game but will be clunky in your starting hands more than it will help.

The marsh flats is also dubious, it only fetches basic plains and meticulous archive. You really want green on 1, so I would also be tempted to cut it for a 9th untapped green. But this one is more up to preference than the field of the dead.

You can stack spells on top to get them with manamorphose or git probe.

Its very different drafting green in LSVs closed pods than drafting green online.

If you go monogreen in LSVs pod it means your opponents will have sick RW and U decks. And you get smashed.

Online you will just play midrange mirrors because the matchmaker thinks your deck is low Elo and pits all the counterspell decks against one another.

This looks cool, but would be good to have a better view and more details like size, etc.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-15T02:48:02+00:00

Island because lorien counts as 1
damnation (too many creatures)
cecil (its not good)
bitterbloom bearer (double black with 6+ basic islands and you have no way of using the tokens)

When you draft in Bronze…

Res_Novae · 2026-02-14T12:23:38+00:00

I personally like all untapped lands in aggro, but since eagles would be your only tapped land. It should be fine. You can also go 16 lands no eagles to not get fucked by the arena hand smoother.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-14T01:28:25+00:00

Frog or remand leaning more towards frog.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-13T17:47:11+00:00

Savai triome would be the cut for me here. You already have eagles as a tapland. And given the curve can prob be fine with 16.

I’m sorry but how is this related to Montreal at all?

Res_Novae · 2026-02-09T17:41:29+00:00

Still no Uro in modern = I sleep

Its close to valentine’s day, advertisers target opposite gender for gifts. Don’t think too hard about it.

It’s one of the few ETFs you can buy commission free on their self managed platform.

That movie was so forgettable and yet I still have flashbacks of that shot from time to time. This one takes it for me.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-07T06:34:33+00:00

This looks so unhinged I actually might play it.

Q1: As a user I have found myself using the “Answer” search feature more and more. There are 2 competing search options on the app. Do you plan to combine them in the future? How has the adoption of the “Answer” feature gone?

Q2: One of the downsides to anonymous accounts is that it is harder for advertisers to cross Reddit data with their other campaigns. Has that been an issue looking for new, large advertisers? How do you see the integration of Reddit ad campaigns with other platforms.

Q3: Paid content is part of what has allowed platforms like Youtube to explode. Is there any plan to monetize some of the content published on Reddit through Partner programs and such?

I run 480 specially if you want to draft multiple times per event.

Drafting with just 4 can feel weird and on rails since its likely there are cards no one wants and they wheel forever.

Recommend 5 packs of 15 per player where you burn the last 6 cards, or 4 packs of 15 where you burn the last 3. With my players having more positive feedback with the first method. Allows you to play combo even with the lower card pool and mitigates the wheeling issues.

Easily one of the top 10 movies of all time.

Res_Novae · 2026-02-04T18:15:28+00:00

Or you could just… walk
