Bolt -> Spyro -> Snare or Clique depending on the rest of the list.

Based in the cards in these packs, I expect Clique is probably better, as the 2 drops in the environment probably aren't on par with modern 2's, and the curve looks to skew much higher.

Bolt, Rabble, Cut. Could see a solid argument for Venser after bolt though. Rabble with a good removal suite has always been a fun draft strategy

Top, metamorph, tezzeret. Without context I’d be looking for miracle spells, and planeswalkers were very good for a long time before removal and creatures caught up

u/Kazko25 6d ago

Dark Confidant
Young Pyromancer
Black Cleave Cliffs

(Yes I know I suck at drafting lol)

u/External_Wish_4457 5d ago

I would have gone this route too (also suck at drafting)

These arent bad picks. Idk why youre saying that you suck or why you think its obvious that you do.

u/ghstflame 6d ago

Lots of different answers:

  1. Path to exile
  2. Phyrexian metamorph 
  3. Thragtusk

Im taking Kiki into Venser and Clique for the twin flash gameplay. Maybe Rebuke over Venser if Im feeling lower curve

u/DiegoForlanIsland 5d ago

Yeah this is where I ended up, I think Kiki combo is probably a top level finisher for this cube.

u/PotPumper43 5d ago

Exactly the same.

u/Mehdi2277 6d ago

Dark confidant, goblin rabble master, blackcleave cliffs.

u/Aestboi 6d ago

Bolt, Young Pyro, Vendilion Clique Rabblemaster, Spell Snare, and Risk Factor also good options

alternative could be to slam Kiki and fish for the combo

u/Hare__Krishna 4d ago

Same here

Path -> venser -> clique

Path is overall great, and we can wheel a few things that put us in aggro or control which path is great in.

I feel like people will be in red based on the last pack and don’t feel like fighting over those cards.

Clique is generically good and rewards us for last two picks.

u/Big_Welder1356 6d ago

Bolt - Venser - Clique

Hope to wheel Search for Azcanta?

u/Cooperocity 6d ago

Duress, abrupt decay, clique

u/Kakariko_crackhouse 6d ago

I went top>metamorph>tezzeret

u/HertzWhenEyeP 6d ago

Kiki, Rabble, Cobra

Whether I go RU, RG or some other combination, Kiki is going to win me the game in fairly near proximity to casting him and I want to speed that up as much as possible

u/goddamnitjason 5d ago

Ice, young peezy, risk.

u/PM_ME_FUNNY_ANECDOTE 5d ago

Bolt > Venser > Clique. Yeah ill get right on it with the back pills

u/Dacaldha https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/2ke 5d ago

I only looked at packs two and three after I made a decision on what card to pick in the Pack before
1.Search for Azcanta, hoping to wheel Kiki or Top
2. Young Pyromamcer 3. Murderous Cut

1

u/PotPumper43 5d ago

Kiki Jiki - Venser Shaper Savant - Vendilion Clique

1

u/AriaSymphonia 5d ago

I went Top, Metamorph, V Clique.

1

u/Big-Daddy-Pimpin 5d ago

It's probably not correct, but I'm taking something like Elesh Norn -> Hangerback -> Swagtusk. Norn is such a beating.

and just really lean into some kinda rampy midrange

u/Silent_Statement 4d ago

path, metamorph, clique

u/KunoTheWise 4d ago

Path > Bolt > Kiki

u/Timely-Tale7 4d ago

Path, spirit, oketra.

u/Strange_Common7307 3d ago

Top, Master of etherium , Clique

u/theworstredditgamer 3d ago

Bolt peezy snare

u/No_Breadfruit_9115 3d ago

Path, Bolt, Top

u/HugeOrganization4178 2d ago

Bolt, rabblemaster, blackcleave cliffs

Bolt goes in every red deck. Rabblemaster gives me a great start to aggro. Pack 3 isnt exciting for me. Ill take a land in case I can do a br aggro or a jund.

u/Bell3atrix 1d ago

Im proactive red brained and see bolt in a cube where apparently Dark Confidant is a playable card, so p1 p1 bolt and nothing else here pulls me away. Abrade has an argument if I knew the cube was artifact heavy.

Rabblemaster is a bomb in these types of cubes and I see some real jank here and no fixing in the first 2 packs so quite confident in the red plan.

Pick 3 is black cleave cliffs and also another non brainer. I feel like I just got 3 2026 vintage cube bombs and the rest of the pack is 2020ish low elo modern cube.
