I'm going to pretend that I inspired this mana base with my entry to the last contest. :p

I found this contest way harder than the last one. "What if cube, but small?" apparently doesn't get my brain firing as much as "what if many copies of one card?" Useful information to have!

It's funny to me that the most interesting cards in this set about wacky car races are cycling-related.

Is this what you guys are like on the podcast?

Yeah, that isn't jank. That's the strongest three-drop ever printed.

OK, I actually bothered to track down my Cube Cobra login info, so I did up a proper nanocube: Gotta Go Fast(ing)! The idea here is simple - it's a monowhite cube where both players get a copy of this fine card: Fasting This cube does not use the rule change that prevents you from losing due...

Wait, they aren't talking about literal Savannah Lions in Standard? ;) (In all seriousness, I'm baffled that they reprinted Savannah Lions as an uncommon in 2024.)

Calling Heartfire Hero a 1/1 is true... but comparing a vanilla 2/1 for W with a 1/1 that permanently grows by one each turn as long as you checks notes target it with something (in a format with a one-mana instant that gives something +3/+1 and trample with a lingering benefit) that flings...

It honestly is? The real annoyance to me is that it forces powercreep into cube, of all formats. And I'm not just talking powermax cubes here - I've lost track of the number of times people on these very forums have said something to the effect of "oh, [classic fan-favorite card] isn't good...

Thundering Spineback It turns out that +{4} mana cost gives you +0/+1 and the ability to spend {5}{G} to make a 3/3 Dinosaur. Who knew?

Hmm... I have to say, I'm a little bummed that our first proper visit to Muraganda is during the silly Wacky Races set.

The 90s is on line one.

Yeah, it's the first time I've seen that.

Scroll ALL the way down and you should see the link.

A common mistake - "not:shit" gives you every card with an attached with a "notable" field set to "shit", which is ignored right now because it's been deprecated. You're looking for "-is:shit"... and you really should be using "q:good" instead of "is:good -is:shit" because that's literally what...

I am amused by Loot for two reasons: I grew up with Loot, Scoot, and Boogie, and watching people get bamboozled by his complex, high quality character design warms my cold black heart. I'm a sucker for the specific set of narrative tropes they went for with Loot, and I confess that I'm kinda...

They've got you covered: Bestow Greatness

I feel like the Speed mechanic might play better than it looks? Once you've played your first card with Start Your Engines!, you'll reach Speed 4 in what, 2 to 3 turns? And then, after that point, any further Speed-based cards will give you their full benefits. Sure, that probably isn't good...

Do I want to know? ... The design is very... "hey, how do we make another Green commander that cheats out permanents?", but on the other hand it's also gay. I'm torn.

I was going to post The Shark - it definitely feels like something you could slip into a cube without too much of an aesthetic clash. Also, I'm kinda curious why Amonkhet's team is headlined by a zombie cat person, given that I'm pretty sure Amonkhet didn't have cat people the last time we saw...
