I don't, but a local gaming store does in their commons box...not that it helps you since I don't think you're in the Twin Cities area.... but on that same subject...why is it so hard to find 3 Unlimited Swamps  hell, I could buy A/B Swamps 15 minutes away for $24 for like 8-10...but I can't find Unlimited at all

Send me a PM, I can give you a Lignify, and possibly even a Smash to Smithereens (if I can find one).

I want my cube to be focused on Aggro-control But It seems every time we draft, people Go for the control aspect of it. Any one have any ideas for creatures or artifact to keep control players in check? I know Gaddoc Teeg is one of'em. I have a bunch of counterspells and many equipments, but I still want some cards to be more intuitive. any ideas??

Stuff I like to run
Winter Orb really locks them out after u get some agrro crits on the board also Tangle Wire is another nice artifact that helps aggro a bit. also taking out stuff like:
propaganda
forcefield
ghostly prison

yeah I only have ghostly prison in my cube, but I do have WoG, hallowed burial, Decree of Pain, and Akromas vengeance. I found this article , but it's a lot of stuff. I believe I'll try to get the winter orb and a sphere of resistance. just wanna try and limit the cards I add so that control players can't abuse them either.
EDIT: I just found out that ankh of Mishra and zo-zu the punisher are great agaist COntrol decks with lots of land needs.

I now have a swap in/out sideboard sort of thing incase i want to retire cards or cards i want in that i may not have a spot for. I have 80 per color right now i'm not sure what the ceiling should be but my 800 card box is almost stuffed. __________________

What about toen armors? Are there any great ones? I like the hyena Totem ( W: +1/+1 and First strike) and the mamoth Umbra ( 4W +3/+3 and Vigilance). Opinions?

even in a cube environment? i've never used one, that why I ask. It looks like a good way to keep some creatures alive. But again. no experience with'em.

and unless your opponent is tapped out or you need the umbra to win combat, the best time to play them is after combat. If your opponent wanted to use removal on your creature, they likely would have done so in combat. Playing them precombat is just asking for a huge loss. Its kinda odd, but if you play them well, then they can be fairly good.

To be honest the worst part about RoE is that all of these cool abilities like Level Up and totem armor are not coming back for a good while and there's a lot of unexplored design space in them.

I suppose. But that's really only ever going to be on huge, expensive cards anyway.

I've taken out ghostly prison, and I've added more aggro creatures like albino troll, watchwolf and more WW creatures like whipcorder, Knight of the holy nimbus and the Exalted First striker (alongside the already included White knight and silver knight). while also adding Molten rain and Fallow Earth for Red and Green to gain some tempo against slower decks. Also added bonesplitter, trusty machete for Creature backup
