Please let this be a part of a "partner" cycle. I might genuinly build a commander cube at that point, especially if the other designs are as fun as this one!

Jeskai Cube Includes: Academy Loremaster Battlewing Mystic Timeley Interference Fires of Victory Ghity Amplifier Twinferno Phoenix Chick Balmor, Battlemage Captain Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart Academy Loremaster and Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart are nice glue cards for draw- and flash strategies...

So I might be priviledged in this regard because my main cube only has 3 colors, but I have very ridgid categories for each color pair. I know that this overly balanced categorization doesn't impact the drafts at all, but it gives me the happy chemical feeling whenever I'm looking over my cube...

Occult Epiphany A card that enables almost all of my cubes strategies: - The draw theme - The discard theme - Aggro / Tempo - Any draw-go style deck - Awesome with artifact creatures - Goes wide - Is an instant / sorcery spell

You and I know this, but for new players (or returning players) that might not be obvious. I'm actually unsure how they perceive this visual noise, but once they learn the legendary crown has a mechanical implication, they might be looking for one in watermarks as well (and sometimes watermarks...

Depends on the density of cards with flashback(-like) or delve(-like) abilities as well. The fact that Sailor's Bane counts your cards in exile as well might increase it's discount over Tolarian Terror by a few mana in a lot of cubes.

So I was having the same issue here. Read Ahead isn't too bad if you mistake it for a normal saga, but I'm playing with quite a few people who're not up to date with the latests sets and definitely unfamiliar with saga's. If their first saga encounter is a Read Ahead saga, they might understand...

Complexity in all of its forms is one of my favourite things to discuss! The goal of a cube it probably the main driver for decisions about complexity: currently I have three cubes, with very different goals and therefor very different relations to (different kinds of) complexity. This is my...

It seems some Saga art has been revealed on today's stream, which means Saga's are back! This, in combination with the legendary-matters wordings in Maro's teaser and my assumption that the new evergreen counters might be artifact counters, really opens the door for historic to return as a...

I feel like ability counters are also slowly creeping into the evergreen tier anyway. However, I think this new one will be artifact counters; adding the artifact type to a creature. Effects like Phyrexian Scriptures already do that, but counters would remove their memory issue.

I have a few more playthroughs with the Horde deck. The power level is far closer to what I want to reach. Scaling is better, the games are closer, but I've mainly been building decks that try to build up an unbreachable defence for the Horde. I have to find out if it's possible to outrace it as...

I played violin and piano when I was younger but never really did anything with that unfortunately. My personal favourite movie is “V for Vendetta”, but I highly recommend “Her” and “Arrival” (if you don’t mind movies that are a bit slower)

I play a lot of boardgames and some D&D like apparently everyone here! Funny how most of us (myself included) aren't as fond of the D&D sets/mechanics despite of this. Anyhow, other hobbies of mine: - I really like improv theater and spend a lot of time doing that (probably more time than on...

Jeskai Cube Includes: Greatsword of Tyr Ascend from Avernus Blessed Hippogriff Guardian Naga Sapphire Dragon Sword Coast Serpent Candlekeep Inspiration Javelin of Lightning Amethys Dragon Greatsword of Tyr is an amazing offensive equipment. It contributes to the minor +1/+1 counter theme that...

Yeah, actually I was looking at this card before but dismissed it as being too powerful. But you need a target in a graveyard to actually get a T2 flier, so it might actually not be too bad! Exactly! I like that it kind of combats the strength of lifegain by making this removal spell worse...

Reshuffeling effects are indeaad amazing, and enable a deck archetype just by themselves. I've always been a sucker for these kinds of cards :) Right now, Feldon's Cane occupies the reshuffeling slot, but I've been looking for a replacement. I do think that the cube would only need one (maybe...

We've also had this edict effect from SNC. It actually sits in a weird spot of being a normal removal spell and being an edict effect. I don't think it really solves the issues brought up in this discussion, but it's an interesting take on an edict nontheless: Incriminate • It beats some...

Sudden Death Cube 54 cards / 2 players Ever found yourself between games on a cube night? Ever had to wait for the two last players of a Commander game to finish each other off? Ever been unable to draft a cube with only 20 minutes left on the clock? NO MORE! The concept of a Sudden Death Cube...

Jeskai Cube Includes: Extraction Specialist Professional Face-Breaker Big Score Extraction Specialist is exactly what I want my white section to be doing: blinking and recurring (small) creatures. I will replace Ardenvale Tactician, which I like but is the least relevant of my white...
