Found otag:color-spent-matters last night, definitely another useful one. Wish so many of these didn't use counters!

The Scryfall searching process for this kind of project can definitely be quite involved and I am a freak that enjoys looking at 10 pages of cards in order to find like, 2 that might be good. I definitely spend a lot of time just digging through stuff and throwing everything interesting into the...

I think you could if you wanted to and it would be fine. I ran with 16 per player last time I drafted this and everyone said that it felt good so I'm sticking with that for now.

I hope you give it a shot! Yes I would say that a draft of this cube is a bit faster than a normal draft. Less cards drafted, lots of simple cards, lots of packs where the choice is "Mountain or non-Mountain" or "Mountain or Mountain". Depends on your group of course but usually I feel like we...

train you gotta let people say they think something sucks without including a dissertation brother

Thoughts on some recent adds goblin replica It's important to strangle the hell out of artifact removal rate here so that Shatter can be an insane bomb. Cool with Junk Diver et al. Thematically spooky. Who is the metal stranger. ogre savant Really bad card. rummaging goblin You can imagine...

Yeah I have thought about this card. It is a very cool dream although based on my drafts so far I think paying WUBRG is nearly impossible, so it would probably mostly just get played as a ramp target.

Invoke Calamity is definitely an interesting callout. Right now I'm playing Mizzix's Mastery as a similar card and it has been a big crowd pleaser, could definitely see also including Invoke as a secondary version of that effect. I try not to include too many ways to "cheat" on off-color costs...

Yeah the offering cards are quite cool but they don't really do the thing that the off-color emerge cards do where they're playing with the cube's gimmick by being weaker rates with only red mana and more powerful when you have drafted your fixing, that's the appeal to me moreso than the "sac a...

Thoughts on some recent cuts Mimic So badass as a secret bomb p1p1 tier card for goblin game ball knowers but this thing was just too good in the lame kind of way. I initially thought that the fixing was the x-factor here but after playing with it more, a 3/3 that dodges hammer at this rate is...

are you guys really doing this again

Joe's World Championship Museum cube is like this and it seems to work out well! Haven't played it myself but I know a lot of folks who have and say it was a lot of fun.

Pretty helpful write-up, I'll definitely be thinking on this! I probably completely glossed over Nettle Drone and Molten Nursery when looking through cards once or twice because I am Devoid's number one hater and it is a fake mechanic to me, but gameplay-wise the incentives are pretty cool and...

This is just how it is drafting the cube with bots, it doesn't actually play out this way in drafts with real people. The bots don't understand how to draft lands in the cube at all, some of them will take off-color cards as if they can cast them with basics and then there's always like 2 or 3...
