Cubism Episode #15: Black Betty
Hey Guys we're back with episode 15 of Cubism sponsored by Fusion Gaming, and this week we're looking at what many call the worst colour in cube, Black. In terms of raw power black has some of the best cards in cube, reanimate, necropotence, thoughtseize, liliana, but in the overall scope of things black is a little shallow and we bring that to the forefront discussing that ad nauseum.
-Black Overview
-Black Archetypes
-What other Colours Do To Compliment Black
-Black Cards We Play That Others Don't
-Black Cards We Don't Play That Others Do
We go over the main points of black and what it does to the cube and what its iconic cards are as well as why we believe black to be the worst colour in cube.
Then its on to the black specific archetypes that wouldn't exist without black, from mono black control to mid-range and aggro black certainly "tries" to do it all.
Then we glance over what each other colour does to compliment black and what decks they form together as a guild.
Then it's on to cards we play that most lists don't and vice versa.
So Thanks again for listening guys check us out at our links below and we have recently partnered with Fusion gaming Online Winnipeg's Premier Magic: The Gathering Store so check them out at the link below. And remember we are only 10 followers away from giving away some sweet Cubism swag so tell your friends and even your enemies to check us out on social media.

Hello and Welcome, to episode 13 of Cubism, we're back after an extended leave of absence as Austen's throat was ravaged for a few weeks. So we have a big show this week talking about everyone's favourite colour blue. We discuss all the cube archetypes blue brings to the table then what each other colour does to compliment blue then some cards we play that other lists don't and cards we don't play that other lists do.
