    Alvoi's Cube

    I hope that it's not forbidden by some rules, to do too many consecutive posts, but I think it's useful for me and I hope maybe also even for somebody else if I write here my design process, instead of putting down a full list without explanation. I'm trying to do it really slow, because I can...

    Alvoi's Cube

    So, okay, here I am! I'm a student in mathematics so I love doing the count also, to have some kind of structure other than my gut. So following japahn's advice I'll start from the tribal archetypes. First of all, we need to put the glue that helps the tribal archetypes. Since black has 3.5...

    Alvoi's Cube

    Thank you for all your advice! You're right, in fact I think my powermax cube is something more like a collection of my best cards, that has also the advantage of being playable as a table game when my friends are here. Also, my friends are not super into Magic (well, they know the rules and...

    Alvoi's Cube

    Good evening everyone! I haven't disappeared, I'm mostly lurking in the forum in this period, but sometimes I want to say something about my cube(s). Sorry for my bad English, I hope it's still understandable. I found the discussion about the cube style really interesting, for all the diverse...

    In my opinion it's WB -> UR -> BG -> RW -> GU since you can see every colour as a number modulo 5, so if W=0, U=1, B=2, R=3 and G=4 the enemy colour pairs are (0,2), (1,3), (2,4), (3,0) and (4,1) and from each one you obtain the next by adding +1 (mod 5)

    Sets (MH2) Modern Horizons 2 Previews

    The wording seems like they made a complicated card and then they asked "how can we make it more complicated?"

    Sets (AFR) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Previews- Dripping with Flavor, and Excess Words!

    Portable Hole could have been an enchantment and the green card could have been a white Kithkin. Maybe there are reasons I can't understand since I never played D&D, but they shouldn't kill all of Magic's flavour for this set

    They chose Lyon as the artist for the Lion :swagg: Nice cards though! I'm very happy for the old-bordered fetch lands, now we can have the entire set of 10 as old-bordered

    General Pack Size

    Thank you all! I didn't think about 3x16 but that's surely a consideration! I'll give a try to both 3x16 and 4x12 and see what happens. I'm really happy for the +24 cards in my cube, I had a lot of interesting cards that I had to cut and I love to put back in!

    General Pack Size

    Hi everyone! Right now I have a 360 cube that I draft with 3 boosters of 15, but I’m thinking about upping the count to 384 and doing 4 boosters of 12. Do you think one of those has more pros/cons than the other? Or do you think the small size change of both the cube and the pool doesn’t matter...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    I like them, they are my 4th cycle of duals after og, fetch and shock and they never disappoint me. I consider them more as a guildgate with upside than a multicolored card, so I take them mostly for fixing but if it happens they can activate and be great. Colonnade and Tar Pit are really...

    General Poll: Shroud & Hexproof

    Shroud is way more balanced than hexproof, but they say it's harder to understand. I hope we will see some more shroud creatures in supplementary products: things like Blastoderm or Nimble Mongoose are fun. Hexproof and things like True-Name Nemesis are the death of interaction, I'm really glad...

    OG art Venser is the best, but I really dislike the new Legendary frame, so I will keep the FTV one unless I can find a Future Sight foil Venser (which is like 20€ on mkm) For the time shifted cards, I already have 35 of them in my cube (so I need to do 35 upgrades) and there are like 15 cards...

    Alvoi's Cube

    Hello everyone! Little update! For my main cube, I asked my friends to bring their favourite Magic cards and last time we drafted I added them to my cube. It was really fun! We were 4 people to draft so we did the burn-one thing, and we drafted four decent decks. There were a bit of problems...
