After having my cube featured on CubeCobra recently I've been getting more and more questions regarding my Duplicate Voucher system. I had this draft sitting around the last few months on CubeCobra waiting for some touch-ups and figured now was as good a time as any to finish it up...

I think the problem when you get too narrow with ULD inclusions is that they end up competing with everything else available and might just not stack up in an actual draft. You don't want so many options that your drafters are overwhelmed, but you also don't want anything to jump out power level...

I'd go with Go For the Throat, Ultimate Price, and Heartless Act in that order. GFTH is just wildly efficient and hits just about every target you'd need in Cube and of the conditional removal you've listed, it's the most universally applicable. I'd say 9/10 times it's just straight up removal...

Mad lads, they did it!

I'm gonna be so broke if they just continue trotting out Cube all-stars in that Timeshifted slot.

Wow. A lot of stuff I'll have to pick up and swap out of my cube, these old borders just look like such a natural fit.

Don't have as much time to binge or dive into shows like I used to, but I was pretty deep into watching television as a hobby through much of my college years into my mid twenties. It was mostly dramas and comedies that made up the bulk of my viewing. Two series that I'd recommend people to...

So much Boros talk but so little love for my girl: Winota, Joiner of Forces Flip over a Basri's Lieutenant to grow your board, maybe a Silverblade Paladin to smash even more face, or even just a Fiend Hunter or Zealous Conscripts to clear the way. The possibilities are endless!

Showdown is pretty much the best card advantage you'll get in Boros colors. Essentially a 4 mana draw 4. If your deck is built low to the ground, this usually means refueling with bodies, some interaction, and maybe a piece of removal to use proactively. The appeal of it is that it's more...

After years of running a ULD, I think I've come to the conclusion that having fewer lands is actually better in the long run. Yes, more choices theoretically leads to more open-ended deck refinement post draft, but I've found that most of my drafters aren't especially adventurous or trying to...

It's been a great 7 years, but I've met someone else.

Oh yeah, NFL Films are always such high quality documentaries. This is a good one. His longevity has been insane relative to his peers. I don't really keep up much with the NFL (Diehard NBA fan), but I'll be aware of what's happening through group chats with friends. I was actually shocked...

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous to think about. 7 Superbowl wins (and 10 appearances) is just absurd in terms of American Football with the parity and how drastically teams' fortunes shift on a season to season basis. The fact that he went to a middling team and then just flipped the script and won...

No, I get that balance wise. I'm well aware of these self inflicted errors from Magic R&D. I just think it's dumb from a consumer standpoint to put any money down into competitive Magic as a hobby nowadays with the frequency of format warping cards being printed and then subsequently banned...

I don't know why you'd even want to play competitive Magic at this point anymore.

Torrential is a great card but Combustible was meh in practice for years in my list. It just wasn't all that interesting to my drafters or even to me when I'd try going for the U/R Artifacts deck. Also the problem with Torrential is that it's more a U/x control finisher than something you'd want...

Yeah, they're definitely playable in other decks, but they're not the most exciting picks. I wish there were more exciting 4-6 CMC artifact creatures that readily slotted into U/R artifacts, but there just aren't too many great options out there. That would be the sweet spot for cross archetype...

I like Kiki a bit more but not really a fan of either in Cube nowadays. Kiki has more interactions with other cards being a creature, but it's just a very all-in strategy in Cube. The biggest problem with Kiki decks from my experience is that pretty much every time you draft it in U/R, even if...

At a higher power level for subthemes to work you need individual cards that have enough "density" to point your drafters towards cards that synergize with them, but are still powerful enough to be worth picking up by themselves. Your subtheme(s) manifest as you're able to build additional value...

This definitely gets there power-wise, but it's up to you whether you'd want to track ability counters in paper. I'm all for it in digital due to easier tracking, but I'm never running any of those Ikoria ability counter cards in my paper cube.
