    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    I don't remember seeing this previously. My guess would be it's mainly there for the late game exhaust abilities?

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    What do you all (that have some kind of discard matter theme) think about this card? Is this just a commander card hiding in the main set? The most interesting mode is probably "draw a card" which makes it similar to Containment Construct, as you rarely attack or block with that one. The...

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    One card that did not get much attention yet is this beautiful shark: At first glance it looks a bit like a commander plant but I think it has potential [for cubes that have some amount of looting/rummaging/self-discard]. The closest comparison is Rielle, the Everwise and that card has...

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but multiple instances of "Start your engines!" don't make it go faster, do they? The first one you play sets your speed to 1. If you already have a creature on board and a decent attack (or other damage/life loss) you can go to two. Next turn you can go to speed 3. The...

    General [DFT] Aetherdrift

    There are definitely some interesting cards for a wide range of cubes! What caught my eye is, that there are some cool designs but unfortunately it also says "Start your engines!" on them... For me it's mostly the name but also a minimum of three turns (ETB Speed one, attack -> speed two and...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    Nice write up! I'm a bit in the same boat, I think. Space is scarce and I have around 11 utility lands, one for each color and 6 colorless/multicolor. Nine of them you already mentioned (shout-out to a fellow Flagstones of Trokair enjoyer!) and the remaining two are: Castle Embereth The...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I'm with you, the card would be at least decent in my cube for alle the reasons you mentioned now and that @Suicufnoc mentioned earlier! I was begrudgingly playing Ransack the Lab for a lack of better options, but this card I would play happily. Being colorless is a bit strange, but the...

    General [Lucky Paper] When Trivia Beats Strategy

    It's not in the same spirit as the abilities you mentioned are but there are quite a few cool cards that would be perfect for my cube with one ability less (I think this is also part of the commander syndrome of enabler and payoff on the same card). The card I think most often about in this...

    Sets [FDN] Foundations (a new Core Set)

    1. Turn one Thraben Inspector. 2. Turn two anything 3. ??? Profit! Also counts tokens, which is neat.

    Sets [FDN] Foundations (a new Core Set)

    The designs are pretty cool but what's up with the art in jumpstart? In previous versions only reprints got the anime treatment if I remember correctly. Will we get UW versions of these :oops:?

    Schafkurai's Graveyard Synergy Cube

    Alright, so here's my first draft report! We were 4 players, did 4 packs of 11 cards and each player started with a cogwork librarian. I did not write down the match wins and we did not play all rounds so there is not a clear winner, but only drafting half the cube was noticeable. The standout...

    Schafkurai's Graveyard Synergy Cube

    Thank you for the praise and for doing some test drafts! I looked at the decks and I must say, that they're definitely among the more streamlined deck I've seen, compared to my playgroup. Which shows me that there is potential! Also, maybe I have to further adapt my draft setup, because drafting...

    Schafkurai's Graveyard Synergy Cube

    The Graveyard Synergy Cube art by Ryan Barger Hello fellow cubers! I've been lurking around the forum for enough years now, that it felt appropriate to start a thread for my Graveyard Synergy cube. Also, Nanonox kindly called me out, showing me that at least one person would be interested in...

    Sets [DMH] Duskmourn: House of Horror

    I only played them on arena so far and they are fun and interesting to play with. The flexibility of playing either half first is neat and having them in play as permanents to pick them up or sacrifice them is also great. Let's take Glassworks As an example. The reason you play the cards is for...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I think this is the right way to go (and would have taken me much longer to find out, since there is no kamigawa saga back template). To add to your work: You can find the red dot under "Transform" -> "Color Identity Pips" and in the text portion you need to add "{right100}" before the types...
