    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    More little changes. For example: Shardless Agent -> Hydroid Krasis Boros Reckoner -> Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger I used to have Alesha, who Smiles at Death in Rakdos, I moved her to Boros. Boros Reckoner always seemed meh. Pelakka Wurm -> Hornet Queen Here's a controversial one...

    Sadly I don't. I haven't found a good replacement yet. I'm trying Mikaeus, Angel of Invention and so on but who knows. I might come back to it.

    Card/Deck Tokens

    I agree with the other posters in that tokens is best, not so much as an archetype but as a somewhat common tool. For example: Gather the Townsfolk This is a spell for Saheeli, humans for Champion of the Parish and fodder for Aristocrats. If you run Raise the Alarm, the tribal synergy is...

    No, no, the order is wrong! First you play Hostage Taker, then Batallion. Then you use Fiend Hunter to flicker Batallion over and over and take all their stuff. For value. EDIT: Wait, this doesn't work. SLAM CONCEDE BUTTON

    Hehe, I already run Smallpox! Hence the question between Pox and Bigger pox. No wait, what was that playtest card called? Bigpox? haha

    Pox Death Cloud These two cards are not as similar as they seem! What do you think?

    I've played with it and against it in draft and I'm not very sold on it. It's an awkard card in that it needs to be a threat but lacks trample. You want to putall your ETB dudes into the bus buf ,if you do, all you have is a big fattie getting blocked.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I added my cube on Cube Cobra just for fun. I dislike how the bots are much poorer that on Cube Tutor but if it gets me some more drafting info, that's good enough for me. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/9xc I've also tweaked cards here and there. Nothing huge, but I think the cube flows...

    I really like unblockable when it's done right, as it provides a little puzzle. For example, I like that you can pull tricks with Looter Il-Kor but that it requires a bit of trickery or effort on your part. In a sense, it's like Hexproof. I like when Hexproof provides a puzzle and I dislike...

    I admit the reason I'm not building a Netrunner cube is that it would actually be two cubes (The game is assymetrical) and I'm lazy to build the whole thing up and hit people to draft it with. Specially since it would eat time with them I could put into playing L5R lol. -- It's weird...

    This might be a bit beyond the scope of this thread but....Please help me evaluate Bouncelands. Golgari Rot Farm Original Ravnica used to be considered the best limited format of all time and I was lucky enough to play it back in the day. However, more and more people are pointing out that...

    Ha, looks like it's a tough one! Here's how I see it: I like that Phyrexian Reclamation can be slotted in decks with few creatures as long as you have the right targets. But having to pay two mana and two life is a lot so I'm not sure you can actually build those "slow value decks". I also...

    Done is better than perfect. And it's not an empty platitute, either. The quality of my articles is directly correlated to how much I write. If I write a bunch, my articles get better because I'm more focused, more used to writing and I have more "tries" to get it right. There's this idea that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Focus. I've reduced the size of my cube to 380 cards and I'm working to make things tighter and tighter. I'm already seeing results with Pox-style decks that mix artifacts, reanimator and Wildfire all in one. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1248651[/url]"] Ones 1 Entomb 1 Executioner's Capsule 1...

    Card/Deck Cutting Some Excesses

    I don't think it's a stupid question at all! Personally, I would use those slots for archetype support. You do not seem to be lacking any basics. Your cube plays the usual suite of cards, it just doesn't seem to have many cards that take you off the beaten path. I see, for example, that you...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    It IS better, but it's not a human and I really like my human theme. That's why I haven't included it so far. I might, mind you. I replaced Solemn Recruit with Silverblade Paladin as a test so if I do put the cat in, I fixed Still, the reason why I'm not sold on Berserkers is that I think I...

    Phyrexian Reclamation vs Oversold Cemetery I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. I have one too many "graveyard value" cards with both of those and Volrath's Stronghold on top of reanimation spells. I'm thinking of cutting one but I haven't decided which one yet.

    I'm not very happy with Talrand, Sky Summoner. Do you guys have any alternatives for a spells-matter deck? I know of some options but I'm digging a bit.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    We are in lockdown and can't get out of my house for several days so it's a good time to work on the cube. Let's be honest, I love working on the cube. It's fun, more fun than actually playing. When I "finish" this one I want to build one without proxies in real life, using only cheap, low-power...
