On that note; Nemo and @Onderzeeboot would you like to be included as well? Both of you didn't have 180 cards at the time of posting (although I see Nemo has upped their count to 180 now), but in the spirit of not taking deadlines too strictly I can at least add the cubes to voting this Friday.

I don’t think my cube qualifies. I didn’t even get around to cutting it back to 180, and I only put it out there as an inspiration to others! :)

I wouldn't mind being in the list, but I fully expect that my pile of related cards is too rough to get votes. I needed to do more homework. I think it's an entertaining looking pile to glance at, though. A two mana artifact creature makes a good egg. (Mister Gutsy is even better - that was a great choice!)

Without any real playtests it's difficult to really balance anything, let alone make that (im)balance apparent at first glance. I'll mainly be looking at the impact of the egg on the drafting and deckbuilding, not gameplay directly.

Last year, I participated in this contest with my Maelstrom Mania cube, featuring 30 copies of Invasion of Alara. It was my belief that most contestants would choose sensible, low-curve cards with an eye toward elegance in gameplay, and I decided to do the opposite, largely as a joke (but also to see if it would work).

Two days before the deadline for the competition, I suddenly had another idea for such a cube, which I actually thought was about a hundred times better, and still satisfied my desire to have "a weird one." But I didn't have the time to actually work on it before the contest wrapped up.

This idea has haunted me for almost a year, and yesterday, in a fit of hyperfocus, I built it over the course of several hours.

Please enjoy: Just a Peek

Better a year late than never at all!

I feel like Glimpse is a better "weird" pick than Invasion in this kind of cube from a structural standpoint, since you're way more likely to be able to run most of the Glimpses you end up drafting (which I think is honestly what held you back the first time around).

I dont have play experience
How fun are death shadow or delver mirrors?
Delver seems too dice rolly from the get go but I have no clue about the shadow
