    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    This set is full of amazing card. Almost every card that doesn't mention the rings temptation seems like a really nice design. I'm already considering 12+ cards for my cube! I thought I would never add Universe Beyond cards, but damn. As for "the ring tempts you", it might actually be the...

    Sets (MoM) April of the Machines Previews

    Chances are that the only thing that makes a Battle a Battle is their ability to be attacked (and landscape orientation?). All other rules, including them being DFC, are probably only part of their Siege subtype.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Two-Handed Axe I initially dismissed this card as no good, but I've seen it pop up on some cube lists. Does anybody have any experience with it, or know whether it is any good in fast but casual environment?

    Sets (MoM) April of the Machines Previews

    If that's the case then I agree! I like the comparison made to planeswalker. The implementation of battles also reminded me of Saga's: not necessarily a new card type, but very close to one. They were quite numerous in Dominaria and referenced throughout the set with Historic. But they were not...

    Sets (MoM) April of the Machines Previews

    There’s a difference between thinking this and: “I saw the word battle and stopped reading, because I don’t play with enfranchised players (but do play with new players), and don’t want to overwhelm them with all these Magic concepts” I’m considering removing every reference to “planeswalkers”...

    Sudden Death Cube (1 life)

    This made me think because I have the exact opposite approach! I desperately want to reduce the fundamentally altering rules down to two. You’re probably right, but I’ll test it out with Power Play and Gemstone Caverns first.

    Sudden Death Cube (1 life)

    Yeah that's definitely an option! If possible, I'd like to fix the issue without adding a new rule but that might not be feasible.

    Sudden Death Cube (1 life)

    I wasn't actually aware this had official ruling, as it was only played in a multiplayer environment, without multiple sequential games where being the starting player was relevant. I'll rule that it only works in game 1. Going further on this comment of mine, I found this gem today: Gemstone...

    Sudden Death Cube (1 life)

    First update in a long time! Kjeldoran Javelineer Mogg War Marshall Untamed Kavu I've been pondering this cube a lot, and even played it a few times. One of the major decisions I've made is to remove all tokens and counters from the cube (except for Sacred Cat), to make it easier to carry, set...

    General (ONE) Phyrexia: All will be One Testing/Includes Thread

    Jeskai Cube Includes: The Mycosynth Gardens Staff of the Storyteller Blue Sun's Twilight The Mycosynth Gardens is a nice semi-fixing land with a lot of opportunities for a artifact-heavy cube like mine. Staff of the Storyteller is fine on its own, but has a lot of cross-polination between my...

    the 180 Jeskai Cube

    2022 in review: Not as big a cube year as I'd hoped, but I've been enjoying managing my cube for the biggest part of it. The direction for this cube has crystallized these past few months, which means that these changes have been a far more contious effort. 33/180 of my cube now consists of 2022...

    General Spaaaaace: To Unfinity and Beyond!

    Does anyone know if all sticker sheets have been spoilered somewhere? I’m UNable to find them. Maybe they’re part of the token sheet?

    General A Sticker Cube

    I've been working on a possible list, with the assumption that each creature would get a sticker with a ticket cost equal to its toughness. This means creatures with toughness 1 will remain stickerless. Stickers would be capped at 1 per creature @Onderzeeboot it seems like you haven't updated...

    General A Sticker Cube

    Yeah that cube was part of the inspiration! I've been a big fan of altering cards (within magic rules) since conspiracy, but have never been able to find something that tickled my inner Melvin like stickers have. It seemed to me like the Heritage cube could get a few overpowered cards quite...

    General A Sticker Cube

    Quite strong, not insane, especially compared to a possible 3 mana 6/3 or 4 mana 8/4. But you do raise a good point: scalability is very difficult when just using mana cost. With further consideration I think it's actually better to use toughness as a ticket cost indicator. This would make the...

    General A Sticker Cube

    I really love the stickers that Unfinity introduces, but am not a fan of the ticket-system accompanying them. I've been brainstorming a way to use these stickers in cube without their current rules baggage, instead allowing stickers to bring permanent change to a cube's cards (the stickers...
