    Eldrazi Domain Cube

    Resculpt is terrible. If it was in an eldrazi spawn color, I think it might be a consideration, but in blue, probably not. Multiple Choice is generically good, but very generic and you almost cast it for "all of the above". Don't like the card. Extus, Oriq Overlord seems ok, but I'm not going...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    I freed the name ravnic-arena, if you want to set it as a custom id.

    General The Art and Science of Giving Choices

    Yeah, what surprised me the most was how everything clicked and fell into place when I started looking at things from a player agency perspective. The cube community (me being a part of it) was so involved in the false dichotomy of evaluating cards by power vs evaluation cards by synergy that...

    General Rectangle Signups: Inscho's Cube

    I'm up for this one too.

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    I'm really starting to hit a ceiling on testing because the CC bots leave the same decks open every time and CT rarely works. Maybe this is a good application for Hearthstone drafting.

    Eldrazi Domain Cube

    Secretly? I think War of the Spark is by consensus one of the best in the fast 5 years. In 2016-2021, I think the best regarded draft sets are Eldritch Moon, Hour of Devastation, War of the Spark, Dominaria, and Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. I personally liked Kaladesh, Ixalan, Hour of...

    I've always subscribed to this philosophy of minimal primer because no one will read it if it's too large, but there's the matter of opening things in the right pack. What if Empyrean Eagle is in pack 3? I'm thinking of showing the archetypes just by listing them out and showing a card of each...

    General Cube Idea: SDD (Sealed, Draft, Draft)

    I played Cube Saga a few times with my wife, and it was fun. We stopped because it was really a lot about deckbuilding and she doesn't really enjoy that part. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rt1W2bxEB74taqYYTcm2HCxS7SOt_u984NheV9FYDWg/edit#heading=h.70v9j92eq7v8 Cube Saga (prototype v0.6)...

    General The Art and Science of Giving Choices

    Many qualities of the Penny Pincher cube, considered the gold standard in low power, come down to gameplay agency: sequencing decisions with bouncelands, cantrips and cycling for smoothing and low CMC. I feel like in these forums we’ve been significantly more focused on the drafting agency than...

    Eldrazi Domain Rectangle Instructions

    https://sealeddeck.tech/r1KWDi677k This was very hard to build. I have no idea if it's right. Deck 1 Bayou 1 Verdant Catacombs 1 Wooded Foothills 6 Forest 2 Plains 6 Swamp 1 Bloodsoaked Champion 1 Arbor Elf 1 Quest for the Gravelord 1 Tragic Slip 1 Village Rites 1 Blade of the Bloodchief 1...

    Sets (MH2) Modern Horizons 2 Previews

    Split cards peaked with Fire // Ice and I hope the new ones are a simple cycle of Color 1 // Color 2 like the Invasion ones! Also very, very happy to see more investigate!

    Cut Pursue Glory maybe?

    What would come out for it? Witherbloom Pledgemage?

    I didn't know it was a thing before watching the movie last year. It's awesome :) Interesting way to create a panel, reminds me of the idea to consider things both when sober and when drunk. How was the experience?

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    Geez, I was going to point out exactly these two as power outliers.

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    Proposal Out: Mage Duel In: Struggle for Skemfar Mage Duel is a bit weird in green, since it's not actually worth running a spellslinger green deck since no other cards card about it. It's splashable, but compared to the red burn, it's too risky, and would not realistically be splashed...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    Proposal Out: Peema Outrider In: Fynn, the Fangbearer Peema Outrider Well, this is the cube for Fynn. The deathtouch deck is super nice here, because green offers the fight and bite effects: Devouring Tendrils Ram Through Khalni Ambush Mage Duel And black brings in the deathtouchers...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    Discussion I think black would benefit from not being in Energy. The only three black cards that care about energy (and in fact are all black cards eligible for the cube that do) are: Aether Poisoner Live Fast Die Young Live Fast is bad against aggro, and the {E}{E} don't seem like good...
