Weird, I did add it in the initial version according to the history, but the history is also broken, so I see Cube Cobra hasn't been solid lately, huh. Thanks for the heads up! I added Approach of the Second Sun back.

The link is getting blocked for me, is it just me?

Cool, that's a not-so-old style cube! I don't really feel like trying to draft this - my time is too limited - but if you're up for some games on Cockatrice with already drafted decks hit me up on Discord! Edit: In general I find it kind of unhelpful to give any actual criticism without...

Sorry it didn't work out, but to be fair, if the first playtest of hundreds of custom card had gone smoothly, that'd be surreal :) Don't be hard on yourself, just the fact that you put together a cube is incredible. Refinement takes iteration! You don't have English versions of your cards, do...

Printing two of every card and making a cube. If I ever have time again. For existing cubes, I rarely make changes before the card have had some time to be played in the wild. But it's a pretty safe bet that I'll use something, some day, because this set looks great.

I'm really sold on draft formats that requires players have to read fewer cards as the most effective way to reduce complexity. I need to tweak the draft itself for cubes that have more insular archetypes than the Smooth Twin Cube and for player counts > 2, but twinning cards is probably going...

Yep, besides the Ring Tempts You design, this set looks absolutely incredible. There is an option (not sure if it was mentioned before( which is making the ring tempts you mechanic do something different, simply use a different card since there's no reminder text anyway...

I don't follow Magic as closely anymore, especially since latest card/set designs don't appeal to me for the reasons others have articulated so well in this thread. But I still gotta say: the ring tempting you having no downside breaks a strong expectation that there would be a downside. That...

That's funny, but especially if you have more permissive mulligan rules that's not that wild. Especially since she was playing 25 nonlands, for a 35 card deck, which has much less variance. Optimal land count for a 35-card deck with a free mulligan is probably 11 or 12 (and just because this...

Ok, I realized it's unlikely many people will be able to run the script, so I tried bundling it into an executable. https://github.com/henriquenakashima/cubescripts/releases/tag/v1.0 You should put your cube list .txt beside cubedeck.exe and name the file "cube.txt" for it to work...

You could probably stitch them together and get autocompletion + automatic translation from Spanish to English :D I chose to do based on a list because I always have my cube list updated, and there are so many existing cards that the autocomplete gives a ton of results with only 2-3 letters, so...

Update: converted to Python 3 and it works now in both Windows and WSL inside Windows. Put the new version in GitHub: https://github.com/henriquenakashima/cubescripts/blob/main/cubedeck.py

Oh, I've done the exact same thing three years ago. from datetime import datetime import os import platform import readline import sys import subprocess def load_cube(cube_file): cube = [] with open(cube_file) as f: for line in f: card = line.strip() if card...

Makes Gingerbrute unblockable for free, is this meta-breaking?

I think cubes fall anywhere between retail draft and somewhat close to constructed, but they vary quite a bit about where in that spectrum.

I think these have been discussed as "self-enabling payoffs" or "payoff-enablers", but another aspect of it is how good the card is without the synergies vs with the synergies, or the "floor" vs "ceiling". One thing I think you didn't touch upon is how "leaders" can be better as an entry...

I couldn't figure out searching, but doesn't Power Play make you play first every game, even if you won the previous? It's a lot better than a coin flip if that's the case, but I'm not sure this is correct. Love the Phyrexian Walker inclusion!

I really like how you've outlined in your table how the removal is supposed to match up with the threats. This is something we discuss a lot but never that thoroughly. I've noticed most removal matches up with threats with an advantage. That sounds like it would create an environment where...

How about you can play all three every game, the first costs the regular amount of mana, the second costs 3 to pull to your hand, the third costs 6? Or maybe 2 and 4. You don't have to choose in which game to have your build around, but it's kind of weird to only have access to it in one game...

Saw the concept of companion cards today in this article and thought it was an elegant solution to improve consistency when drafting a deck around your occasionals: https://mtgds.wordpress.com/2023/01/16/companion-cubing-with-the-parliamentary-cube/ In this case, occasionals are 3 picks out of...
