Huh, this is valuable feedback because these questions have not come up at all for me so far. It's good to think through. Losing the land has been not a big deal and actually even the quality of the tutor target has not been super important. This is my impression both in cube and constructed...

Urza's Saga Urza's Saga Urza's Saga My drafters love Urza's Saga and so far it has played out extremely well in cube for us. I'm probably going to go up to three copies because I think it makes for a very lightweight way to incorporate artifact synergies into basically any deck. My cube has a...

Thanks for the feedback, @inscho, @Nanonox. I'm especially happy to hear the point about "design clarity" because I think that summarizes my general approach to these changes. It's a focus on the actual mechanical nature of "combo" gameplay that I enjoy and how that can be widely and flexibly...

Alright, I did an initial update to the CubeCobra list. Looking forward to comments. If you do a draft, make sure to lower the drafters and/or give yourself plenty of packs. Regardless of number of drafters I think I prefer to expand the pools in order to see the whole cube and get stronger...

My cube went through some relatively tempestuous changes in the last six months so recently I've been doing testing with a single fixed list. In part, now that the whole cube is in paper it takes more time and investment to iterate. But now I have a big list of potential additions and probable...

We did another in-person draft, and I'm continuing to test the current list without changes. I'm finalizing my big set of cards I want to change but that's still in progress. Here I'll give a quick rundown of card reviews from the most recent draft, including some that surprised me. Clever...

These points are so dead on! (1) This is exactly right. I started sketching these decklists in part to explore some ultra low land counts. This was inspired by getting down to 12 lands in my UB deck in my most recent draft. I didn't even come close to having mana problems. The decks above have...

Ode to Do-Nothing Cards Recently, I've been fleshing out my support for Green spells deck. For example, including Once Upon a Time Abundant Harvest Land Grant Green Sun's Zenith alongside token generators like Chatterstorm and magecraft payoffs. I feel great about choosing to double up on...

We fired our first in-person draft since March 2020. The decks were very very good and highlight the most recent direction I've taken the cube. I'll go over some of the decklists! Up first, we have UB Doomsday with Lurrus as a companion. The deck was sick; very fun and finicky to pilot. One...

I've supported some versions of this archetype for a while, so I can share some decklists - at least from my idiosyncratic implementation. The first is a pure combo version which is probably a bit too goofy for what people here are interested in: Zeroes 1 Mox Emerald 1 Mox Pearl Ones 1...

Mox Pearl Mox Sapphire Mox Ruby Mox Jet Mox Emerald Mox Cube v2 CubeCobra Link Link to the Original Thread I'm pushing a new version number of the Mox Cube. The big-picture goals have remained the same. The environment is about explosive and velocity-centric gameplay - casting a lot of...

I've been very impressed recently with BG-based storm. Here's a completely wild deck one of my players drafted yesterday: Ones 1 Thoughtseize 1 Vampiric Tutor 2 Lightning Bolt 1 Fastbond 1 Faithless Looting 1 Duress Twos 1 Runaway Steam-Kin 1 Clattering Augur 1 Witherbloom Apprentice 1...

From reading your recent write-ups, it sounds like you had a trajectory something like: (1) You went through a huge drop in power-level and found the newfound design flexibility really exciting. It also sounded like you found a certain kind of deck-building space that you couldn't get at a...

I'm working on making a new cube blog to represent my most up-to-date list and design choices. The first post in this one is very outdated, although I'll be trying to compare the current list to some of those earlier ideas. In the meantime, I want to share some card impressions from our most...

It looks like the start of your rectangle and the end of kirb's rectangle have some weird overlap? Actually looks like it's true for everyone - maybe that's how the rectangle gen works (or it's a bug)

i have returned from my brief sojourn in the mountains and im ready to lurk on some draft picks also i see some stuff went down in the meantime...
