Untap combo Not sure if this counts, but I wanted to bring attention to a little guy with a lot of combo potential I overlooked. Sakura-Tribe Scout (and Skyshroud Ranger gets a shoutout too) Got to draft a cool deck in KlavierAchse's cube. Ones 1 Zuran Orb 1 Mishra's Bauble 1 Aether...

Yeah Human Frailty is a stupid card gameplay wise, but one of the most flavourful inclusions. The book is about how humanity got completely demolished by an ancient civilization who then changed what it meant to be human. This is the first pass, with no regards to mechanics, but I agree with...

Decided to try a more flavor driven approach with zero fucks in regards to mechanics. It's a rough draft because I did this quickly by coalescing favorites from mainboard and maybeboard in the original cube. Cube list here One of the charms of this whole cube idea was the elapsed time between...

I am 100% in agreement with you and I think I even said so myself in the previous post. I appreciate critique even if it isn't positive! This is in no way scummy. If my little project inspired you to create something in the same space, I'm glad, because then, I'll be the one stealing your...

I have a draftable version of the cube available here. Settled on 17 lands per player, with no shuffling. That's not exactly true as I still run Inverter of Truth and Chaos Warp, but those are one of events. I still have counters and two types of tokens (Eldrazi spawns and Germs), so not...

If you want swingy and splashy, I think the clear pick is Entreat the Dead. It scales and can completely surprise the opponent out of nowhere. Here are some other suggestions. I have two reanimation cards I like for your power level, but both are blue! They follow the same A+B+C style of play...

I was wondering if you've ever experimented with 5 packs of 8 cards, no wheels. Considering that for my own no deckbuilding cube. Thinking that seeing a fresh pack gives you another first pick and no time wasting figuring out what could wheel. Simple, nothing!

You had me with Bottled Cloister, but lost me with stuff like Farid and Ramos. I do agree that there are some new old bordered cards worth a look, but it’s stuff like these Mesa Enchantress Rishadan Dockhand Think Twice Silent departure Underworld connections Dark withering Empty the warrens...

Tithing Blade and Poet's Quill have too many things going on with learn and craft. Barbed Bloodletter is ok, but wither isn't particularly enticing for me. My Precious seems fine, but reads as a Village Rites first and artifact second. Scepter of Fugue seems particularly low powered and kind...

Fleshing out the whole no deckbuilding idea, I figured I would start with a known quantity and mimic Goblin Game's structure. I love the idea that you have 40 cards and if you have any limited experience at all, you know you need 17 lands. The curve is high enough here that 136 lands (17 per...

Is there a reason you want to squadron rather than breaking singleton for Welder? Pod would be a good candidate for sure if you go that route. I share your experience with Loki’s Scepter, it’s in an awkward spot and rarely makes the main deck of my test drafts. Offense single-handedly helped...

Good shoutouts! I'm definitely adding Power Sink as a weird ancient thing and a playable counterspell. Vortex is tougher mechanically and visually to include, but it could be represent the Star people's advanced cognition or something. You made me think of another weird one Paradigm Shift The...

I've been selecting some diverse representations of various civilizations, but I think the cube would be more resonant with lineages you can come across yourself. I'm talking about stuff like these One eyeball gang Frilled Oculus -> Component Collector -> Creeping Peeper or Kami of Twisted...

No deckbuilding desert cubes are all the rage right now in the cube community and I was thinking, why couldn't I join in on the fun. Can this project turn into such a beast, where players would be forced to look at and enjoy all the weird creatures included? Maybe, but I don't have a clean way...

Nope you are 100% right. I shared the cube list, but truth be told, it's a little early as I'm mostly cataloging right now. Patron of the Arts could represent the Saurosapients who have a rich culture, but it looks like ass as a whole. That is a fantastic find and now I am dreading going...
