I mean, the optimal choice is to only reveal one of the Chimeras so you aren't randomizing across a stupidly large number of creatures. Considering that a normal draft pool gives you anywhere from 5* to 21 extra cards to play with, I don't think that that's going to be a problem. * Desert cubes...

Flickering Mulldrifter is damn fun, so I think it'd work. Do you think scamming an Aethersnipe or Shriekmaw would be too strong for your format?

Congrats!

I'm most likely to leave the "contest version" of this cube alone - both because it's a nice time capsule of what I've tried and because I tend to find it easier/more fun to build new cubes rather than make incremental changes to existing ones. As for my plans for a "new" version of this...

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Green Cube List v0.1 What Is This? Back in June 2024, @ellogeyen ran the 30+ Eggs In One Basket contest on these very boards. After waffling for a while on what to do for it (a process that was not helped by the fact that I had been in a major cubing slump for months), I...

The mana shenanigans (and duals in the BLB) are mostly a side effect of Land Grant only being able to grab Forests. Realistically, the "mana shenanigans" are just a result of treating green as a secondary color for every deck - I don't think you could have a Land Grant focused cube where green...

Imagine pulling this from a pack in Future Sight: Underworld Breach No reminder text, no nothing. It would take 14 years before anyone knew what "escape" did.

The Cube is 100% kinda clunky/unfocused right now since I put it together in a day or two for a contest - a lot of vibe-based decision making went into this thing. For example, Thirst of Discovery (along with a few other cards) are in there to encourage you to run basic Forests to justify having...

So... Slugging Slug - {1}{R} Creature - Slug Haste Creatures have provoke (Whenever this creature attacks, you may have target creature defending player controls untap and block it if able.) 3/1 (God, I wish they had used provoke in sets other than literally just Legions. It's much more...

I'm talking mostly for Cubing purposes, where it's reasonable to assume that people aren't going to be actively cheating/angle shooting. After sleeping on it (oh, who am I kidding, I'm procrastinating about getting ready for work), the actual solution would be to slip something into the sleeve...

So, I was trawling through Scryfall, and I stumbled on this interesting fellow: Unliving Psychopath It's not a MAXIMUM POWER card by any stretch of the imagination, but the idea of turning equipment or pump spells into repeated removal tickles me. I especially like that it's set up to bully...

Huh... it does make a land token for each creature you control with power 2 or greater, doesn't it.

To be fair to Maro, Gavin probably didn't have Hasbro execs looking for excuses to kill the whole project. ... Where was Omnipresent Impostor when we were doing the Egg Cube contest? There are a bunch of stupid archetypes you could design for that cube. Some more... interesting... designs...

This is honestly great feedback on how the cube feels (and the importance of explaining what's going on with a more "gimmicky" cube)! Mondschwein, the "joke" behind the cube is that Green is effectively colorless because all of the mana sources except for one are either Forests (because Land...

Time for a trickier one - here's a pack from Gaslight, Gatekeep, Green, my contest cube with all of the Forest duals in the basic land box and 30 copies of Land Grant. Arcbound Tracker Land Grant Woe Strider Exquisite Firecraft Kudo, King Among Bears Binding the Old Gods Cling To Dust Spara's...

Scalding Tarn I feel like first-picking fetchlands is the thing to do in formats where they're on offer? I dunno. I'm tempted by the Goyf and Demonic Tutor, but they feel like much riskier bets.

Yep! ... Some more cool designs: Blurry Visionary - {3}{U} When Blurry Visionary enters, look at the top two cards of your library, then put them back-to-back in the same sleeve with either card in front. They become a modal double-faced card for the rest of the game. 3/2 What a trippy idea...

MagicSpoiler has some of them up. Not sure where they got them... EDIT: Dear Scryfall devs: could you possibly make it easier to search for playtest cards? Currently, performing a search that gives you playtest cards and only playtest cards requires either a pretty convoluted search string or...

High Tide

Wrenn and One is... certainly a card. I appreciate the commitment to the bit. (That futuresight Gush is pretty, though.) EDIT: Of the cards I've seen so far, some of them are clearly jokes (Indicate is a {0} cost sorcery whose full rule text is "Target creature"...), but there are also some...
