Agreed, and you also highlight the reality that a certain drafter might force the same type of deck most times or every time, so as designers we should figure out how to make that work in a way that allows people to have fun. I have a burn guy in my small group, so I will drsign to help him not...

Is this the direction you plan to go? Otherwise I will need help deciphering your reply, since I am not aware of any interesting history that you may have with burn spells. If you do have a certain history or affinity with burn, please share! Personally, I have been playing fast burning red...

Nah, it's just a different type of challenge than designing more of a typical cube. With 30 count, the designer needs to find a way to deal with a supply that gives each player 6+ copies if they want them. The card needs to be useful enough to get drafted instead of drafters just letting it...

For most of my ideas, 30 out of 180 is too many. I think a removal spell could work, though. Bone Shards

I actually switched some of green's ramp from 2MV to 3MV in my current cube, because ramp can easily take up so much space space in 1-2 MV that it crowds out everything else in green. I'm trying to some aggro and madness elements to green after reading the thread below, and I think a slower ramp...

I like this pair of one drops. Retrofitted TransmograntSarpadian Simulacrum

Edit: Cube renamed, redesigned, and re-linked. Medium Complexity, 3-5 Player, 4 Color (no blue) Cube

Somebody's a legit Scryfall nerd. Respect!

Did you notice that this wish was granted with Murders at Karlov Commander? This cube seems like it would be a blast to play. I love me some artifact value engines that interact with the graveyard, and by now there are soooo many cards that support that.

If you compare it to Shivan Devastator, this does more for the same mana. And I think the Devastator is pretty good.

This is a nice, simple two drop. I don't like the flavor at all, but mechanically it's a nice addition to the mix. I'll definitely pick up this and Treasure Dredger, which is another nice simple two drop mentioned earlier.

I liked blocks in Mirroron, Ravnica, Time Spiral, and Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. Blocks were a boon for all of those, IMO. I wasn't active during Invasion block, but that one seems cool, too. Scars of Mirrodin block was medium, but I thought New Phyrexia was a great 3rd set. Eldritch Moon was a cool...

I am aware that it is an existing token that previously was used on one card which happens to be overly complicated and underwhelming. They did 1/1 spirits and 2/2 spirits within the same ascendancy cycle - not their finest moment. If you like token variety, that's cool. Different players get...

2/2 flying spirits instead of 1/1? That's stupid. I like the 1/1 blue flying looter for 1, though. I'll spend a quarter on that card when the set comes out.

Myr Servitor and no Sage of Lat-Nam in sight. Honestly, when those two cards were both in Standard (8ED/MRD/CHK), I chump blocked with and sacrificed quite a few Myr Servitors to the sage. It was fun.

Yeah, I love that Ornithopter card. This is the first Alchemy card that gives me a pang of desire.

Next up is Dex Supreme One Row box. I went with this over The Game Chest (same size but with 3 compartments and some removable 80 card boxes). Supreme One Row is cheaper, and it annoys me when internal dividers can't be adjusted to my liking. It's made of nice materials, and it doesn't have the...

I view Modern Horizons as Time Spiral sets where they have a chance to bring back mechanics and flavor references from the past that don't easily fit elsewhere. That yields some neat stuff, like Hell Mongrell and Ornithopter of Paradise and Monoskelion and Ephemerate . It's different and mostly...

God, yes. Wizards should do "The Great Token Type Update" similar to the great creature type update from 15 or so years ago.
