    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I love UG madness and genuinely hadn't ever considered playing Echo of Eons in it. Sounds sick. Has anyone tried Torrent Elemental I know it's not providing instant value but it seems like it presents a pretty respectable threat, and the activated ability is sweet. Obviously Delve and all -...

    General Fight Club

    I think you're right, this is what I'll go with. I'm already running 5 custom lands (Enemy-coloured Bicycles) and a RG Horizon land is very much in line with that. @blacksmithy - As much as I like manlands, especially the new ones from WOE, I'm kind of wanting to use these as signposts in the...

    General Fight Club

    Adding a 5th land of each guild to my cube just to smooth games, looking for some input on the few I haven't settled on yet. At the moment I run an ABUR dual, Shock, Bicycle dual and Fetch for each guild, plus 10 Triomes and 10 utility/gold lands. Looking to break the symmetry on this final land...

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    6.5: Snow Basics at all. Counting "snow permanents" or doing things to "snow permanents" or caring about "snow mana" is so much less interesting because of Snow Basics. Have like, a Wastes but Snow as a basic land maybe, so producing Snow mana from the land you can run more than 4 copies of...

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Testing/Includes Thread

    307 Cryptic Commands, 53 Islands. Its the only way I can cube.

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Testing/Includes Thread

    Just due to the flavour of the set and how much my partner loves Eldraine I'm more seriously considering cards from this set than I have for sets in quite a while. All of these are subject to what I can open/find easily though, so I'm also eyeing the Restless lands, the Virtue cycle and...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I do have an old Momir Basic cube that needs to see a little more sunlight, this could be a cute way to use that...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Would love to get thoughts on this idea for a Klothys-inspired Kruphix. Context is a pretty low curve, low-power cube looking to let UG do something other than tempo decks (Ana grid linked in sig), but I don't know if this is too strong? Very very open to other ideas. Keep almost pulling the...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Looks fine on a first read. I don't think it'll do to your cube what Godsend did to JOU draft, and it's no Sword of Fire and Ice, Light and Shadow, or Impossible Combat and No Fun

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    I'm pretty high on Loamcrafter Faun and will probably end up adding the card. 1: I run Life from the Loam and holy shit that's sick. 2: Holding lands once you're able to cast your top end to bluff interaction is pretty normal in UG Tempo and even some RG or BG aggro decks. This guy turns that...

    Ana Grid

    Cube Update! So, it's been a hot minute since I've updated y'all about the state of the Ana Grid. Let's have a quick catch-up. In the last nine months we've gotten... some... reps in with the list. More than my main cube, less than I'd like. Still been more than enough to discover some things...

    General Aesthetics Debate Club: Optimizing Art in Cube (Daily!)

    My usual extreme antipathy towards Universes Beyond does not, for the first time, affect my opinions of these tokens. The LoTR ones at least - the Doctor Who references are very on the nose and drag me out of the "Magic" mindset even if I like the jelly baby art. I'm a fan of the Eldraine basket...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Man an updated GRBS thread for everthing that's been printed since 2019 would be so cathartic. Massive flamebait though, so maybe not a great idea :P

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    Very spicy. It's a shame they're undertuned and that the white one is the weakest of the cycle - Even a conditional "Inspired Charge" aura would be so much better than "Glorious Charge"

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    While I usually prefer the haste, I think I'd go to Initiate first. Better types on the card and the token, carries equipment better, threatens Savannah Lions, trades with Thalias. Haste is sweet off the top, but I don't think that tiny improvement as a topdeck makes me happy to see it over a...

    Hunt the Wumpus (Sudden Death Picocube) (WIP)

    Gaea's Blessing was the first one I found when paging through my boxes for initial ideas :P That said you're entirely right and I'll make the swap - cards in hand do clog more than I expected. I know I have exactly one copy of Dwell in the Past but have no idea where my box of Guay singles is...

    Sets (WOE) Wilds of Eldraine Spoilers

    I was not expecting to get enthusiastic about this set but I am legitimately considering getting a box to draft with my SO and some of their MtG playing friends. Just like OG Eldraine, has the mechanical complexity at a level where it's interesting without being punishing and is hitting it out...

    Hunt the Wumpus (Sudden Death Picocube) (WIP)

    It's fun as a mental puzzle as-is, but could be more exciting and replayable, so going to see if increasing variance is an improvement or not :D As it is, it's really easy to get perfect information, which has made us try to play around every card the opponent has and set the goal to sculpting...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I think a better/more concise wording would be: "At the beginning of combat on your turn, for each black mana symbol in spells you've cast this turn, choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn: • Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. • Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn. •...
