    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    My cube is quite a bit about card advantage, so playing it on T3 is usually not a good idea, as betting your whole game on something that can be chumped with recursive creatures or tokens, removed, bounced, pacified or tapped is generally too risky. T5 Regisaur + 2-mana spell is more prudent...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    So we played a couple more matches: UB Control 2-0 BG Reclamation Won the both games with Lay Claim. The first at very low life. The second stealing Revenge of Ravens. Dealt with Phyrexian Reclamation 3x over the course of the game and for a UB deck, it was weirdly good at killing...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    Cool, ping me on Discord when you're free! Yeah, probably would need ~5 colorless equipment in the pool. Looking at the available pool now, colorless equipment hasn't been good lately. Could go Bonesplitter, Zephyr Boots, Goldvein Pick, Runed Crown... and then there's nothing good anymore. I...

    Sets (AFR) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Previews- Dripping with Flavor, and Excess Words!

    I sat with my friend as he tried to teach my spellfire when I was 8. He didn't know the rules either though, but he made some pyramid with lands that still fascinates me to this day.

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    Black (haven't played much with it) - Black actually seems to be in a good sport in regards to value, it just needs to work a bit more than blue for it, but that's fine. Red - Red is in a good spot, aggro/control wise. Feels balanced to me. - Landfall is just Akoum Hellhound and Skyclave...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    So some thoughts given ~15 games we played: Snow - Taking a snow basic is really, really good for the snow deck, and it only really needs one, so... it's kind of easy to be snow in terms of lands, and I like that. - The bottleneck are the payoffs, and I like that most only need ~5 sources until...

    Site News How to: Card Tooltips, Card Images, and Decklists

    Seems like the basic land piles are broken with cubedeck. See the example: Ones 1 Pteramander 1 Faithless Looting 1 Curious Obsession Twos 1 Faerie Vandal 1 Aether Chaser 1 Burning-Fist Minotaur 1 Heartfire Immolator 1 Censor 1 Chart a Course 1 Lightning Strike 1 Expressive Iteration Threes...

    Ravnic's Arena Cube - I wanna play with you

    Yeah, the second was a pile. Didn't really know what to expect without looking at the list, then I just picked removal and value, but it didn't work out. These are the decks I played against blacksmithy on his stream (besides UR Aggro-Control above). Ones 1 Pacification Array Twos 1...

    Froggy's 288

    To be honest, I'd love to help, but this is so out of my knowledge sphere that I can't make any meaningful suggestion or critique. I'm up for testing it on Cockatrice, if that helps. Usually, playtesting is what brings up the best data.

    General Pack Size

    Yes. "Oh god, we're not done yet?" Can echo both these feelings too. When I asked people "didn't you feel like wheeling a 15-card pack in 4 people was too much?" I heard "No, I like it because I feel like I have more control and more insight over what's happening. And when I drafted in 10-12...

    From what I gather from the Discord, there's a new bot in the works, and it's close to done.
