Arena Cube Combos You Missed - Last Chance to Draft 'em!

Hey folks,

The Powered Cube on Arena ends this Tuesday with the introduction of TMNT. Why not go for some powerful, fun decks when given the opportunity in the last couple days of the cube? Who knows the next time powered cube will be available on Arena? This may be the last time You can [[Phantasmal Image]] an [[Enduring Innocence]] or [[Path to Exile]] an opponent's creature with [[Wan Shi Tong, Librarian]] in your UW tempo deck.

Without going any further, a question for you. Have you managed to win/lose with a combination that you weren't expecting in the Powered cube? I will add some of my personal favorites that aren't as straightforward as [[Entomb]] and [[Reanimate]].

First combo card was the inspiration for the piece: [[Screaming Nemesis]] + [[Fire Covenant]]. Both cards are excellent and fit into a BR aggro deck. Turn 3/4 kills are not out of the question one way or the other. Now whether you splash a Fire covenant into a Boros deck in order to pull off the combo depends on how the draft has went with other removal and fixing. It is one to consider if you've picked up Screaming Nemesis early. (You should be picking this guy high like 3/4th pick!)

Secondly, [[Channel]] and it's best payoff [[Ugin, Eye of Stroms]]! So if you have drafted an early Ugin, perhaps after a Mana Crypt or Sol Ring, consider going for a Green based ramp deck or the traditional Artifacts blue deck. Don't forget to add [[Sowing Mycrospawn]] to ramp to and payoff with Ugin. [[Manamorphose]] works both ways to let you cast Channel in a 2 color deck (GB or UG) while also allowing you to get to double colored pips after you cast Channel. Most important for Green fatties like [[Vaultborn Tyrant]].

Ok now just rapid fire junk that I've seen work.

  1. [[Mystical Tutor]], [[Echo or Eons]], and a surveil land.

  2. [[Detective's Phoenix]] and Pitch cards or Land Cyclers.

  3. [[Karakas]] with [[Samwise the Soulhearted]]. Yea try to get around that!

  4. [[Crabomination]] with [[Pentad Prism]]

  5. [[Mai, Scornful Striker]] and [[Cecil, Dark Knight]]

And last but certainly not least, [[Underworld Breach]] and [[Fireblast]] for all my mono red burn lovers. Enjoy killing your opponent out of nowhere or building an impossible position for them to win! Enjoy playing some Vintage on Arena. Thanks for reading.
