All CABS, No Breaks | Tool Time | Fortyborn EP 56

Let's go back to the basics. CABS is a simple framework to help you build a consistent and decent Limited deck. Once you learn the rules, you can learn how to break them.   Jake names the baby. Taylor opens up about the baritone. And the food fights back.   CABS Commandments: You will NOT have more than 8 uninkables in your deck. You will have a good mana curve. This will prioritize the two-to-four-ink characters. You will avoid seven-drops. You will have at least 30 characters in your deck. You will avoid card-draw spells, build-around locations, lore-reduction cards, do-nothing items, and the like. Every card in your deck will have a low setup cost. Your cards stand on their own; they don't require any gymnastics to be good. You will have a simple, clear game plan of gaining 20 lore. No milling or combos—just board control and gaining lore. You will prioritize efficient cards over situational cards. This means that you want cards that are consistently good rather than cards that are sometimes very good but sometimes very bad.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forty.born/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Fortyborn Discord: https://discord.gg/DsbeKc2zsP YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZRqG_BCdub2jn14AdO_rkg Email us here: fortyborn@gmail.com
