    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Rattleclaw Ursine 1UG Creature - Bear Prowess When ~ dies, return target green or blue spell with converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard to your hand. 3/1 Trying to help my UG self-mill archetype. I may need to rethink the flavor since it's a jeskai keyword on a temur themed...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Firstly, design contests are great, and this one was especially fun. When you have so many cube enthusiasts together, the contest's theme becomes just that much cooler. The stream was pretty neat and seeing all the constructive feedback for the votees was informative. While my submission didn't...

    Site News CFB Store Credit Contest: Design a Cube Card

    This is the final draft of my submission. There's a lot I want to speak about regarding vorthos, mechanics, applications, etc, but I risk tampering with your initial impressions, which I take would be integral in your grading and oh my gosh I am such a chatty Cathy today. *Edit:

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    We may have seen the last of awaken, but these kids do a pretty marvelous impression. As terrible as cohort is, I feel that with a little luck, it could come together in a draft. Drafting that deck just may be a scramble for Rally and Zada Commandos, though. Just wish they'd whip up better...

    *SPOILERS* Star Wars: The Force Awaken

    There was a lot of executive pressure that kept Abrams from deviating too far from the Disney Star Wars feel, fortunately. The mix of puppetry, animatronics, and cgi was just completely perfect for me. Overall, the movie felt like a proper entry into the series and is a powerful lead in for the...

    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    While not exactly the same as running the fetches, what do you guys think about a full box of Evolving Wilds? I would think that only fetching tapped basics puts an emphasis on tempo, dissuading people from running too many in the main. But like fetches, it would boost land-related archetypes...

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    The prevalent theory is that <> can be spent as any color of mana to cast colorless spells. It's also worth noting that Wastes is a basic, but yields no type. Sorry domain. Overall, I'm enthusiastic to see how they play with the new mana symbol and what that means for cube. Do we suit up new...

    Ink-Treader Cube (312)

    It's Sunday fun-day! I dropped a fat number of cards. I slashed the colorless and awaken themes since they're not well supported yet. I've also added a ULD-inspired draft portion as a way of offering Black mana producing sources in a non-random manner. The pile differs from the ULD in that...

    Fiery Confluence Arachnogenesis Skullwinder Bloodspore Thrinax Centaur Vinecrasher I agree that 6 to the dome in the confluence is horrifying, but I'm willing to try it. Arachnogenesis can turn into a pretty clutch removal spell against wide, aggressive decks, and matching tokens with Spider...

    General [Design Discussion] Perfect Imbalance

    This is definitely an interesting principle to apply to limited. If drafters are informed of these relationships in your particular format before the draft, or simply catch on to it after the first couple, just the presences of element A/B/C/Z will add that extra dimension to their pick...

    Ink-Treader Cube (312)

    I'm just a relatively shy person. I'll be a chatterbox eventually though. I've been physically drained from work and mentally drained from trying to meet that Hasbro contest deadline (oh you guys didn't know about it? Thank god.) which is why it took me so long to get around to tackling the...

    I really appreciate your input! I knew I could count on you guys to knock the rose-tint off my proverbial glasses. I don't have much time to flesh out my reply to you guys in all the work I need to do today, but I did find time to go through my list and weigh the singleton-breaking to myself...

    Ink-Treader Cube LITE Sideboard/Utility Card Pile A miniature version of the Ink-Treader cube I initially assembled, this significantly shrunk list caters to a table of six or less drafters. Each pack is made up of 13 cards due to decreased color variance. This cube list also uses a Utility...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I know that riptide loves its champions of the parish, but how do you guys feel about Experiment One? While not as archetypal or self-synergistic, how do you feel about running multiples of it?

    Are there any other resources on branch efficiency? I've seen Brian Weissman cited sometimes, but google searching has only yield references to him.

    [Feedback/Tuning] Brood Cube (BUG Themed)

    Thank you so much for your drafts, Kirblinx. They provided some really valuable insight! I've made a couple chunks worth of changes based on the points you left on the decks you drafted. The first major edit was shrinking gold and artifacts to accommodate more archetypal creatures for voltron...
