I feel you about the blink deck. Back when I had my peasant-ish pivot cube, blink was THE deck to beat. Soulherder + Whirler Rogue or Mulldrifter turned out to be really obnoxious to play against. I hope Kor Skyfisher finds its way back into CCC! It’s a great card and also way fairer than...

I made a board game! Coalition: Councils of the Republic, a negotiation party game for 6-12 players (0r 20 with expansion). Come try it out at Gen Con! I credit Riptidelab for helping me hone my game design instincts. Cubing is a great design exercise. Was originally planning on crowdfunding...

Embrace the Unknown is such a cool design. Glad to see them printing new Retrace cards. Loam for the Loam god!

Myth Realized.dec is so much fun! I wish we had more prowess cards in white!

Haven’t played much MTG lately and mostly been lurking. However… Fastbond Crucible of Worlds Plus the cards you mentioned up there. Now we’re cooking.

All the Food cards in this set really have the gears turning in my brain. I’ve never really liked Lifegain as an archetype, but I have always loved artifact synergies, especially with random “junk” tokens. Maybe now there’s a density of enough effects to tie them together well? Some Lifegain...

Aspiring game designer! Currently working on Coalition: Councils of the Republic, a social negotiation game for 6-20 players about shifting alliances in a medieval city-state.

Hi all! I’ve not done a whole lot of cubing in the last year - my paper cube is in dire need of an update, and I’ve mostly been playing board games or working on my own game Coalition. However, I still like to keep an eye on new spoilers and this forum. So, taking inspiration from a similar...

Springboarding off of this: I think Magic as a franchise does a lot of different types of storytelling really well. Its worldbuilding is often incredible, and the lengths artists go to bring those worlds to life is enchanting. I love the coffee table art books (the Kaladesh one being my fave by...

This card rocks! I love more support for RB or UB discard. Getting an evasive body off of a Looting is the dream. EDIT: Discard and Sacrifice are both popular archetypes for Rakdos. If your cube tries to do a little bit of both, this could be a decent bridge! He plays really well with Rankle!

Something that may or may not stay in the game, stolen shamelessly from Two Rooms and a Boom. Basically, let’s say we have an 8 player game, meaning there are two players per Party. Usually, we select two roles (for example: Knight and Judge). So every Party will have a Knight and a Judge...

Oh I’d looove to. Downside: this is the first time I won’t have access to a car while I’m there, so getting around won’t be quite as easy, but I’m sure I’ll figure something out. I’ll be sure to hit you up closer to the date! Also @blacksmithy it’s August 3-7 this year!

It’ll be in the First Exposure playtest hall! You can see the current draft of the rules and some design musings on my blog: https://magiccirclegaming.wordpress.com/coalition/ Also, I’ve just commissioned some art for the game. Hoping to have it looking a lot prettier by the time GenCon rolls...

Will any of you fine folks be attending GenCon in Indianapolis this year? If so, I’d highly encourage you to register to host a cube event. I’d love a chance to meet some incredible cube designers and draft their creations! The events catalog went live yesterday and I see a noticeable lack of...

Can’t wait to see this thread once SNC spoilers are done!
