You know, I've never felt much kinship with the "I would play Magic even if it was just numbers and text on the card, and the wizards and dragons don't mean much to me" group, but something about this graphic you've posted is activating my neurons. Like, this cube looks really fun.

I only need a few more in the "<=uncommon" pool to add a landfall module to my Multivalent peasant cube. I already run 10 bouncelands and the Landscape cycle from MH3, so there's plenty of gas for them. I almost decided to add a bunch of Chocobo stuff into the cube but finally decided I wanted...

Very excited about this set. The aesthetics and flavor will fit right in with my Welder's Workshop cube, and I love Landfall.

I'm probably not going to run them for assorted neurological reasons, but I'm sorely tempted by the Chocobo cards. I just think Chocobos are cool, and all their cards are nice, low-key role players centered around Landfall and Flashback, two of the most pleasantly playable mechanics in the...

Great points about Scorcher. The more I think about this card the more I think it's a little crazy that he can kill an opponent at 9 life. My favorite solution is just to set his death damage to a flat 2. As for the Egg, I really like the change to targeting any graveyard. Picture this: T2...

Listen, I'm a pretty dedicated UB-hater but this shit is way too funny to avoid playing it Summon: Fat Chocobo

Just thinking about 1999 - 2000

Obviously Mirrodin Besieged is a great set to look at if you're building a 720-card artifact-heavy cube. Lots of great colorless "true artifacts" that feel good to play. Signal Pest is probably my favorite, but I'm also a big fan of: Thopter Assembly This is a very fun way to suddenly put a...

The only card I run from Fallout is Junktown. Junk tokens are amazing and I can't wait to see them in a Magic the Gathering set. Since I'm running Gastal Thrillroller in my cube, I think it's safe to say cars and trucks are no longer off-limits in terms of flavor, but I'd still prefer a more...

I didn't realize this, but I actually run a complete cycle of equipment from this set in my Multivalent peasant cube: Greatsword of Tyr Mystery Key Ghost Lantern Two-Handed Axe Saddle of the Cavalier Out of all these cards, Two-Handed Axe is definitely my favorite. I don't see this card going...

M11 came out during the peak years of my engagement with the game, and I have fond memories of building kitchen-table decks out of all this junk. Fauna Shaman has received her flowers in this thread already, but I have some favorite cards here: Mitotic Slime Hoarding Dragon Garruk's Packleader...

No Secret Lair for Bravely Default!? The closest thing I've played to a Final Fantasy game!?

Ezuri's Predation A green board wipe!? I run this card because the environment cares about big creature tokens, and because it's a Commander-compatible cube where an 8-mana spell might actually get cast. I also personally like it a lot. Important! The tokens are errata'd Phyrexians, so if...

I'm relatively new to this forum, but here's my take: Riptide designers take one look at Dragon's Rage Channeler and yell "PEAK!"

Journey to Eternity I loved the transforming destination lands from this set, and I think Journey to Eternity is my favorite. I also run Storm the Vault and Golden Guardian, which are both sweet in artifacts-matter environments.
