I have continued my streak of attending all the prereleases as I went to the MH3 prerelease, Bloomburrow Prerelease, and just “recently” the Duskmourn Prerelease, and I've done pretty poorly at each one, so I guess I'm just bad at sealed. Over the summer I had a horrible idea for a “cube” and...

Honestly I just kinda put it in my cube to see what it would do without thinking about it all too much because it's a pretty cool card. I just drafted this deck, and I have some interesting synergies with it, Nettlecyst makes your wide, also go tall, By Invitation Only should be able to be used...

OTJ Prerelease - Yesterday I went to an OTJ pre-release and it was a lot of fun! I ended up coming in second place because I opened Oko, which is almost impossible to kill. It was not killed once in the games I played him, and I didn’t lose a single game where I played him. In the 3rd round, I...

Feedback I got from the draft Hoogak is too strong, and that’s completely true, so I’m going to have to cut him, which I’m a bit sad about because my Hogaak is signed by Rhystic Studies. One drafter was complaining about the weakness of removal. I think they were trying to say that removal is...

I drafted the cube again Friday night! I managed to get another 8 people together. I think everyone had a lot of fun during this draft (other than me). We are planning on drafting another cube soon, because someone else in my playgroup is making a Planeswalker only cube. This post is just for...

I managed to get an 8 person draft together on January 26th (nearly a month and I'm just now writing this), which is the first time I've had a full pod to draft my cube with! Also since it was so long ago I don't remember many of the cool plays that happened, so this one might be a little less...

I managed to get a 5 player draft together yesterday! Someone picked Lore Seeker and opened a pack of Throne of Eldrain I also forgot to take pictures of the standings so they are probably a little bit off. Zeros 1 Ashnod's Coupon 1 Cheatyface Ones 1 Elvish Mystic 1 Faerie Seer 1 More or Less...

I got to draft my cube again last night! I drafted it with 5 other people who had never drafted my cube before, so it was fun to watch them all go "oooh" with every pack they opened. We didn't have time for everyone to play 3 matches, so it was only 1 or 2 matches for everyone. I did get to add...

I've made some changes to the cube(again), and generally lowered the curve quite a bit. About 160 cards were changed out, which is a pretty major change. I thought I was done with upgrading my mana fixing, but I was not. Replacing Evolving Wilds and similar cards for Prismatic Vista. And I'm...

So I found a bug in my code, which causes my average words in a pack to be lower than they should be (the bug had to do with me counting double-sided cards as two separate cards, which messed with the pack generator) but I think I fixed it now, ill update my code when I finish making a couple...

Thank you very much for your reply! I only included Giada as a generic 2/x flyer essentially, but you are right, a Stormfront Pegasus would probably just be better as it has so many fewer words. I might end up replacing this with a Kor Skyfisher. My cube is 1v1, and Palace Jailer has been very...

During my winter break (that ended almost a month ago now) I managed to get a cube draft in! It was a pretty standard draft, I have all the data for it, but don't feel like typing it all out. The biggest takeaway I had from this draft was how most of my playgroup was not reading the cards...

I've finally managed to get people together to draft the cube again! Since that draft, I have moved off to college, so hopefully, I will be able to find a playgroup, otherwise, the cube is probably going to be pretty stagnant until I can test it more during breaks. Here is the data from my last...

I haven't had a chance to draft since the update as one of my friends from out of state (who doesn't know how to play magic) has come to visit, so not very much cube recently. Workshop Warchief does seem like a fun card, the obvious comparison is with Thragtusk, but not creating the token when...

I got together with 2 other people and we played some sealed out of the cube! I went 2-0 with a WG/u ramp deck. I only lost one game of all my matches when I conceded before they could crack their Ashnod's Coupon (Didn't want to drive to a Mcdonald's at midnight). One of my friends played a...

I do like playing the more controlling WR decks especially with Assemble the Legion, but I do think the more aggressive choices fit better for what I want boros to be doing. This is tempting, I've been wanting to try and fit in Siege Rhino ever since I saw this Rhystic Studies video. With my...

Thank you very much for the reply and all the advice! Blue Tempo: I've added quite a few more turn 1 plays for blue, with my favorite being blurry beeble, along with adding a few more ninjas that affect the board, so hopefully, the Ninja deck will be able to come together now. I've also added...

Time for some musings. I really like the vanguards, so I'm going to work on incorporating them into my cube some more. While vanguards are incredibly powerful, because everyone gets one, and they are always active, I think that it somewhat balances them. For example, if I had Sol Ring in my...

Thank you very much for the reply! I think that my group is perfectly content with my cube with no variants, so adding them is not at all necessary, however, I'm posing it to myself as more of a design challenge than something I need to do to keep the cube interesting. So I would like to try and...

Brirro's Variant Cube Welcome to my cube! I've been working on it since August of 2021, it's come a long way, but I'm sure there's also a long way to go. I've recently started listening to the Lucky Paper Radio podcast, which has caused me to make quite a few changes to my cube and design goals...
