    Sets The Hobbit

    Belladonna Took! Bilbo's mom is pretty cool. This is similar to Staff of the Storyteller, which has been excellent for us. The advantages are exciting: more upside potential (the Basri's Solidarity's effect is real good in a token deck), not having to pay for the card draw, bigger body on ETB...

    Sets The Hobbit

    Noisemaker is fantastic. I think if you have enough sacrifice support, it's just a better YoungP, a card I famously have issues with. I'd rather go wide than go tall with my tokens, but the second toughness and practically doubling the amount of cards that trigger it, especially in a world where...

    Sets The Hobbit

    I don't normally do this but I was procrastinating so I made my early changes for this set in Cube from just what's been spoiled already. I'm really excited about this set and its mechanics, even if it is a small set. Restoration of Eiganjo is indeed a good comp, but the thing that makes that...

    General [FRA] Reality Fracture

    I was going to clean up my desktop and realized I forgot to talk about this card: Ajani Resolute. I think any 2mv planeswalker is inherently worthy of discussion. This one is asking you to spend three turns to make an Ajani's Pridemate token for the same price, so on its face, it's easy to...

    General [FRA] Reality Fracture

    Oh no I hate the art on all versions of Stingcaster Mage :(((( Liliana the Repentant is interesting, with lots of comps but nothing that does it all together like this. If it triggered off itself, I'd be much more willing to try it out. Mire Triton is a great glue card for Cubes over a huge...

    General Secret Lair Spoilers

    New mechanically unique card: Stardew Valley What I like: The Shire was perfectly fine, but making it colorless makes it potentially easier to slot in for me. Having card draw as an emergency button on a land is also pretty sweet, even if it won't be used too often. I feel like it'll play...

    Card/Deck The Saga of Cubing

    I recently added Rydia inspired by @Nanonox, and I've been super happy with her. Originally, the saga text was a distraction, as I really liked her for the landfall ability so much that I didn't mind what I considered trinket text, but the more I looked at my Cube, the more I realized there are...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    Really glad you're getting good use out of the Griselbrand tool, it's been a fantastic time suck for me, and I like the 30 Cubes you're following. Excellent curation there. I think you've got some great swaps and you're right to add a little more interaction. The cuts are right, too. Tinker is...

    General [TRK] Star Trek

    I don't know why I didn't consider this myself, huh. Cityscape Leveler Triplicate Titan I'm currently running Cityscape Leveler and Triplicate Titan (and Emrakul, the Promised End, but that's kind of different, but I kind of like this more than both of those. By having unnearth, Cityscape...

    General [MSH/MSC] Marvel Super Heroes Testing/Includes

    I haven't gotten an IRL Cube in since making my Marvel additions, but I have done a lot of online drafts, both against bots on CubeCobra and in the retail limited environment (which isn't very good). I had been feeling pretty good about my assessments, though I had a couple changes I wanted to...

    General Gruul Aggro-Madness

    I'm currently running lots of these cards and their ilk in a way that crosses over well with the Rx discard-matters, Grixis reanimator decks, RU welder, and GB graveyard-matters decks. Ivora, Insatiable Heir Fear of Missing Out Anje's Ravager Seasoned Pyromancer Tersa Lightshatter Veronica...

    General [MSH/MSC] Marvel Super Heroes Testing/Includes

    According to this incredible tool I recently found called Griselbrand.com, a Cube of my size should be running approximately 9 cards from MSH/MSC if I were to behave like the rest of my peer group (warning: long loading time, but it's worth it). After a bit of online testing, it looks like I'll...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Most of my favorites were already mentioned (really happy to see some love for Soldevi Adnate!), but there's a few left that are still relevant in modern Magic! I love love love the aesthetic of these sets in particular, I think the game lost that sauce after the Mirage block, even if I still do...

    General Embrace the Chaos / Cube Occasionals

    This doesn't seem like an issue to me. The Occasionals don't need to be defining what's best to do, they're supposed to be fun alternative directions to go. At a Cube event, you're getting two different biases: a higher intent to win from the players than you'd normally get at a casual Cube...
