Yeah, it's great how inexpensive most of the cards are now. It seems like I've blown more money on sleeves and boxes than I spend on cards lately.

I've updated my thread and signature to make this 5 color cube my main cube. I've considered the numbers carefully to make this work for 5-8 players. Those are described in the CubeCobra overview: Medium Complexity Overview The number of cards read per player stats at 250 or 252 in each...

Since Repulse was mentioned in another thread, and I've been back and forth on bounce effects, I'm curious what people think of simple bounce spells. UnsummonFading HopeJust the WindSnapSnapbackJiltRepulseUnsubstantiateBlink of an EyeDisperseUnauthorized ExitWinds of Rebuke There's also the...

I think they should do Dragonlance Chronicles, but keep the dice and dungeons the hell away from it.

I like these. I don't use hybrids yet, but eventually I'd like to find ten that I like, so this is nice to see. Knowledge SeekerTwin BladesYuyan ArchersMomo, Rambunctious RascalThe Mechanist, Aerial ArtisanRaven EagleProfessor Zei, AnthropologistMessenger Hawk Messenger Hawk is an interesting...

I did this on MTGO for a short while, but the thrill wore off fairly quickly for me. I just felt bad for durdling around with my extra turns while the opponent waited. On the other hand, this never got old for me: Kuldotha Forgemaster If I only had two other artifacts, I'd sometimes have the...

I've considered some of those, so you're hitting the right notes. I think either of the delve creatures could be good, and I've considered Body Double. Syr Conrad is interesting - it's similar to Dreadhound which I ran for a little while but nobody has played yet. I might go for Tolarian Terror...

I broke singleton on Noose Constrictor because it's an important support card in green for multiple archetypes, and I wanted two copies of that more than I wanted one plus a Wild Mongrel. I wouldn't feel bad about bumping it to three copies if the cube needs to get larger. I similarly have two...

A 6 player draft happened! This is only the second time I've managed a draft with 6+ players, so I was very happy. This time, all of the players had a reasonable level of experience, so we didn't have to coach anybody on how to build their deck or anything. This time we ran the cube at 288...

I thought I was a pretty good Scryfall nerd, but this is a level up. Tip of the cowboy hat to you.

I made a 5 color version and got a chance to do a 7 player draft! cubecobra.com/cube/list/mediumcomplexity It's currently 294 cards to support 7 player draft with 3 packs x 14 cards. A few of us were familiar with the 4 color version, so adding blue wasn't a huge leap. The others included a...

I'd love to see more simple hybrid cards at common and uncommon in retail draft sets. Like, give me a 3/2 menace creature for {2}{B/R} and a 2/2 flier for {2}{W/U} (e.g. Trusted Pegasus / Aerial Guide). I'd go for a {R/G} Giant Growth/Brute Force. A hybrid combat trick would be great, because I...

What part of MtG are you referring to as the base game, out of curiosity?

That sounds super fun. I'm so conflicted about tutors. I love playing them, but I haven't put any in my cube because I suspect they're unhealthy in some ways. But part of me is dying to run stuff like Formidable Speaker and Imperial Recruiter.
