I love this, and I am ready to allow the implications to drive me insane. Oblivion beckons.

Some favorites of mine: Greasewrench Goblin Bomat Courier Ogre-Head Helm Scrapwork Mutt Charming Scoundrel All of these cards are from my artifacts-matter cube, so there's a pretty clear theme going on here. There's also an argument for Voldaren Epicure here, depending on how you feel about...

Here's an updated version, plus a much dumber card.

Thank you! The intention with the -2/-2 is to make it a little more tempting to aim both {U} and {B} effects at the same target. I feel like it's always going to be a 2-for-1 if I give him the -3/-3. As for the stats, I mostly picked 2/2 to line up with the original Shriekmaw, but that card is...

Draft Report! Had a friend over to draft this thing the other day. One of my goals with this cube was to create a list that scaled well with player count. My theory is that cubes with very broad themes can play just as well with two players as with eight, since there are no real narrow "decks"...

I'm just glad they crammed the Encore text onto all the Incarnations from the Commander decks.

Not sure if anyone else is running a budget cube in here, but Figure of Fable is like 35c at the moment and I'm really, REALLY happy about it.

Reprint Watch Here's where I track cards I want to include, but can't afford to play unsleeved. The soft limit is $1, but cards that are especially excellent for the cube can go up to about $2.50. But not too many! It's a bar cube, after all. Identifying Magic cards that are fun to play but...

Landfill This whole project started from a simple thought experiment: What kind of results would I get on Scryfall if I searched something like "c=g cmc=3 usd<1 -o:create -o:counter is:new -is: DFC -is:ub game: paper"? It seemed like an absurdly restrictive set of search terms, and I knew it...

Massive bummer. Sometimes I think the community gets so busy hating UB we don't reserve enough venom for hating Alchemy. It's bad enough to take a normal card and screw it up with a "perpetually" ability for no reason, but cards like this one hurt the most.

The two-drops are fucking sick in this set. Kinscaer Sentry Loch Mare Bitterbloom Bearer Hexing Squelcher Bristlebane Battler I feel like you could start with these 5 cards and build a whole cube around them.

I've currently got 4 entire cubes running in paper, which is kind of insane considering how rarely I can actually get a draft group together. I think it's fair to say I just enjoy the tinkering and "topiary garden" process with Magic cards, and cubes are more fun to build than decks (at least...

Belonging Impulsivity Jubilation Lamentation Subterfuge Delighted by these cards because I genuinely think they will cost 50 cents apiece by July, and I want them all for my bar cube. Nice simple abilities that aren't too niche (nobody here is proliferating or anything like that) and just look...

I am so delighted by all the Elemental Incarnations so far. These are definitely sparking joy and I want them all.
