    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I am usually with you on most topics, but not on this one. Crucible being colorless opens the door to more strategies being viable. Maybe you have a Red deck with Devastating Dreams + Wildfire. In that case, not being locked into a RG deck is a good thing IMO. I would tend to go towards all 3...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    Thanks inscho for confirming my thoughts. Not sure why I am doubting myself so much with this new cube project! You hit an interesting point Erik Twice, are the Arcbound Ravager + Steel Overseer too narrow to be worth it? Ravager allows for some really fun play patterns as you say. It's a free...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    You are both right. I am going way too deep into specific archetypes that don't need extra support. Just playing a few prowess creatures and my existing artifact creatures is enough to support the theme. I've also come to a few realizations: 1. The +1/+1 counters are more of a little subtheme...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I think my cube is built in a way that it actually works well. I doubled up on a lot of card draw that Green decks can use to trigger Jolrael: Explore Manamorphose Gitaxian Probe Mishra's Bauble Chromatic Star That's excluding cards from other colors. But if she doesn't work for you, easy cut...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    Yup! I had all of these in the first draft, then cut some to make room for other packages. My problem right now is that I am all over the place. I am experimenting with all of these Humans aggro (W, B, r, g) Prowess aggro (W, R, b, u) Artifact aggro (W, R, U, b) Discard/GY aggro (B, R, G)...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    The fact that a single card unlocks so many potentially unique interactions is something really cool in my eyes and the deck you posted is a great example. I like the cuts you are making, but not the Woodfall Primus one. I don't think the deck with the Prodigy will be the same deck playing the...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    Thanks for the feedback. Dream Halls is a great one I forgot about and will revisit once I get a few reps in with LED. I was seeing Smoldering Egg as a plant for the control spells decks I was talking about. It might be too narrow though, especially since I already have Magmatic Channeler...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    On Storm Mana For this cube, the biggest challenge with Storm decks is going to be mana production. Right now the three biggest ways to net mana involve Fastbond, Dark Ritual and Urza, Lord High Artificer. There are some free spells which definitely help, but don't generate mana (Baral...

    sam's 450: the second coming

    100% love the Saga and Trawler. They add a lot to the archetype and help justify running all of the Baubles and such. More cantripping cheap artifacts really help the artifact deck tick and they can play well as draw smoothers in other colors too Urza's Bauble Chromatic Star Chromatic Sphere...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Not sure if you are open to this, but including a few more GW gold cards compared to the rest of the guilds could help give Selesnya more direction (in your posts, you seem to mention that there are cards that interest you in the gold slots). If you do, I think you could angle towards a...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    As an example, here is an example of an aggro deck I really enjoy: Artifact human counters aggro It rolls off the tongue. I want an aggressive human deck based off of Champion of the Parish Thalia's Lieutenant Luminarch Aspirant Metallic Mimic Basri's Lieutenant Mikaeus, the Lunarch For...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    I play multiplayer games with my group, but I've been meaning to build a 1vs1 cube too. It's mostly a thought experiment at this point, but I could definitely see myself acquiring the cards IRL. Here is the list I am working on right now: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/kmu7 Inspiration Erik...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    From your cube, I would add these cards to the good/very good payoffs Vengevine Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath The Gitrog Monster They also almost singlehandedly build a RG discard aggro deck with these payoffs Fiery Temper Flamewake Phoenix Firebolt Blast from the...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    So after cloning your cube, adding some personal touches and drafting a bit, I have some questions/comments. I don't want them taken as the truth, I've spent a lot less time thinking about your cube than you have and we probably have different goals in mind. I probably completely changed the...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks for the kind words. As I said, I’ve really enjoyed drafting your cube and I’ve been trying to make a 1vs1 cube. I have the beginning of a list butnit isn’t tuned. I figure maybe I can adapt some of my ideas to your list. One thing I want in my cubes is “explosive synergy”. Big splashy...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Agreed! I have a lot of fun drafting your cube. I think your last 3 changes look great. I drafted a GW artifact deck built around Sevinne's Reclamation Renegade Rallier Scrap Trawler and it looks amazing IMO (https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/61df109db8bc40100bd29eeb) I'd love to see...

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I am looking at some slots I've taken for granted and a few considerations came up. First off, for my mana fixing I have a flexible cycle of lands. I've been using either Creature lands or Horizon lands, but I'm thinking I could optimize more. For instance I am considering Out -> In Fiery...
