    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've gone and added the cards I've been thinking about as well as the flash and lands packages. I've also added a Cavalier of Flame and an Incubation Druid. This doesn't mean I won't touch the other cards (I will), it's just a way of keeping my changes updated and being able to test them without...

    Nobody has added Chromatic Star, I'm dissapointed on you. Chromatic Star Also, I want that janky counters build-around and some black cards. So. @James Stevenson @Sheltem

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've been very busy so I haven't been able to work much on the cube. Also, I'm having a hard time feeling out the slots. The issue is that, while there are good cards for the archetypes I want, there re few of them that cover several of them. This is what I have so far: MV 1 Llanowar Elves x5...

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    Gaea's Cradle is not fear or famine, it's a 10 course buffet. It will easily produce three, four or five mana and run away with the game. I believe it would be the best card in your list by far and the only way for it not to be is you to abandon fairness in your cube. I mean, it's a land, it...

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I'm increasingly of the opinion that the 3 mana value slot on gold cards is a design trap. First, there are already more interesting 3-drops than 2-drops. It's by far the most congested cost in cube if not Magic as a whole. The vast, vast majority of interesting effects and stats start at that...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    The issue I have is that it seems all the tokens or actual go-wide cards are in other colors, but not green. The exception are cards like Eisak's Chariot, which costs a lot of mana, and Joraler, which is a Temur card. I suspect it's fine for all my payoffs (Earthcraft, Garruk Wildspeaker, etc.)...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    How do you support RG tokens? Particularly in green. I've thought about it but my token cards are all very expensive (Deranged Hermit, etc.)

    Sigh, again?

    I don't remember it too well but I think I started with Liliana, Languish and Persist and eventually moved into this recursive deck as the draft pushed me to it. My initial idea was to build an Orzhov deck which is why a few of the cards are not quite as good in the shell as one could hope. For...

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    I've been thinking hard about this colour pairing and read practically every piece of information on the internet about it. But I'm still not happy with it. Lands is ok, but it's more of green's thing and otherwise ties too much into parasitic GR Landfall aggro. Spells is ok, but that's more of...

    Card/Deck Targeted Discard

    I don't think targeted discard is a good mechanic, especially in the context of Magic: The Gathering. However, it is one of the very few ways to interact with instant or sorceries and, to a lesser degree, enchantments and artifacts in certain colours. It's also a different effect than "destroy...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    It's a bad card. The main reason to play 2-mana draw spells is that they allow you to smooth over your initial hand. They can find an extra spell or a land at the cost of a very valuable turn. On raw power, these spells are pretty low on the list. You'll lose a lot of games because you played...

    Thanks for the advice, guys. Talking about 4-drops. What decks really want Greater Good? Like, what's the end-goal with the card? Greater Good

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    A part of me is like "Give up, just make every single archetype spells.dec". But so far I'm holding. This is what I have: GW Go-Wide GR ????? UG Tempo GB Recursive Rock + Pod, which isn't locked to a single colour combination The issue is Gruul. I don't really know what do to with Gruul and...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Every other creature. While I want to revise my spells, I think that's easier for me than my creatures. I'll think about the themes, though.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    To give you a taste of how lost I am, this is the full set of creatures I'm 100% sure I want in my cube, not counting mana dorks. Tarmogoyf Satyr Wayfinder Eternal Witness Tireless Tracker Vengevine Verdurous Gearhulk Deranged Hermit Thorn Mammoth That's it. Everthing else is up for grabs.

    General Using Cube Cobra statistics, what are the most unique cards in your list?

    I haven't even drafted it yet! So I can't say for now. I just needed one more equipment for my cube, I needed it to cost 2 so it was a choice between this and Sword of the Animist.

    My Pokémon cube

    I don't know anything about Pokémon prices but that looks very good! Even the cheapest MtG cubes come at a much higher price.

    Given how Rampant Growth is already a very good card, I would say getting a 2/1 on top would be amazing. It can be ramp and a two-for-one in one card! And it would be easy to abuse it with blink and graveyard synergies.
