I was batting around an idea for a randomized emblem mechanic. Something like this: You start the game with these cards face-down in the BONUS ZONE: 1 Furnace of Rath 1 Heartbeat of Spring 1 Intruder Alarm 1 Lightmine Field 1 Maelstrom Nexus 1 Rites of Flourishing 1 Teferi's Puzzle Box 1...

I've just done a big theory-crafting update to the mini cube. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/gt65 There are a few folks I am looking to play with who are all very green to MTG. I've tried a few different strategies to keep the complexity down. > Low power, to try to keep the games interactive...

When DanDan started making the rounds recently I also started brainstorming shared library “game within game” formats. I was interested in your list and came up with this draft list https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/52234d6b-2007-44b2-9d0b-0cb717c8da6b a few points on the design: > I...

That discord link doesn't seem to work for me. Any tips? I just made an account but I've never discord-ed.

All good points. Maybe my dream of those two cards coming together would work better in a casual constructed deck with rituals and aggro dorks. I kind of like how the incentives to dump your hand fast with the Magus of the Wheel in the short term might make the pay-off of the Magus of the Wheel...

I am intrigued by the possibility of an aggro combo deck which uses these cards: Magus of the WheelMagus of the will Does anyone run these cards and have you seen a Rakdos aggro deck come together that uses these Magi? I'll need to throw a casual constructed deck together with them as I'm...

I don't play vintage, but that new Karn looks like it could be pretty powerful there. 1-sided null rod, kills moxen on the uptick, and repeatable artifact tutoring. Sounds sick to me.

Has anyone taken this "Squad-Goals" approach to a lower-powered format? I think it could be fun. This is a little initial stab I've taken at a 90 card set that could be squadded (not complete): http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/90249

I am just spitballing here for aggro decks and have put together a fairly fun looking goblin deck. 4 tarfire 4 foundry street denizen 1 skirk drill sergeant 1 skirk prospector 4 mogg war marshal 1 goblin bushwhacker 1 goblin warchief 1 goblin ringleader 3 goblin matron 2 clickslither 3 boom //...

I've done a little bit of micro-cubing (designing and playing), and I'd say that my advice would be to remove multi-coloured cards. Especially when you are drafting with just 2 players, you want as many cards as possible to present a possible pick. I found that cutting gold cards and using more...

Not really cube-related, but I figure this is an OK place to post this: I am trying to put together 2 duel decks that work well together and can provide rich back-and-forth gameplay. I thought that an interesting way to frame this would be a race between the RW aggro deck resolving an...

I always want to get Wingcrafter and Tandem Lookout rocking together.

Maybe only make each item a spoiler once there is content? I'd like to read your thoughts on some of these but I don't think I'll come back through and check each spoiler a bunch of times.

Is there really a serious conflict regarding Magic's lore incorporating too much of or responding too fully to contemporary identity politics' criticisms? First of all, in my opinion, good on them if that is the case. Second, I really wonder who cares about that. The worlds in which this game is...

Hi all, Does anyone have any good ideas about supporting a storm or combo-type deck in cube that doesn't need super narrow cards? I am currently theorycrafting a 360-card 2-of cube and am hoping to includesome combo-style burst kills that are still viable decks if things fall apart during...
