Obviously Mirrodin Besieged is a great set to look at if you're building a 720-card artifact-heavy cube. Lots of great colorless "true artifacts" that feel good to play. Signal Pest is probably my favorite, but I'm also a big fan of: Thopter Assembly This is a very fun way to suddenly put a...

The only card I run from Fallout is Junktown. Junk tokens are amazing and I can't wait to see them in a Magic the Gathering set. Since I'm running Gastal Thrillroller in my cube, I think it's safe to say cars and trucks are no longer off-limits in terms of flavor, but I'd still prefer a more...

I didn't realize this, but I actually run a complete cycle of equipment from this set in my Multivalent peasant cube: Greatsword of Tyr Mystery Key Ghost Lantern Two-Handed Axe Saddle of the Cavalier Out of all these cards, Two-Handed Axe is definitely my favorite. I don't see this card going...

M11 came out during the peak years of my engagement with the game, and I have fond memories of building kitchen-table decks out of all this junk. Fauna Shaman has received her flowers in this thread already, but I have some favorite cards here: Mitotic Slime Hoarding Dragon Garruk's Packleader...

No Secret Lair for Bravely Default!? The closest thing I've played to a Final Fantasy game!?

Ezuri's Predation A green board wipe!? I run this card because the environment cares about big creature tokens, and because it's a Commander-compatible cube where an 8-mana spell might actually get cast. I also personally like it a lot. Important! The tokens are errata'd Phyrexians, so if...

I'm relatively new to this forum, but here's my take: Riptide designers take one look at Dragon's Rage Channeler and yell "PEAK!"

Journey to Eternity I loved the transforming destination lands from this set, and I think Journey to Eternity is my favorite. I also run Storm the Vault and Golden Guardian, which are both sweet in artifacts-matter environments.

I want Secret Lair: Bravely Default

I love Summons so much, and they would be so cool in my cube, which supports Enchantments and Delirium. Might have to make some in-universe customs for these because they're cool as hell.

Wreck and Rebuild An absolutely sweet, highly flexible effect gets the Universes Within treatment! This card is very awesome in my Welder's Workshop cube, where there is always a valuable artifact to destroy, and it's also often advisable to mill yourself for five while you ramp. Plus: playable...

I also have a custom Waterfront Bouncer, just because I wanted a paper version with a modern frame. Changed the name and typeline for my own amusement. Get it? Because frogs bounce!

I'm always using CardConjurer if I'm designing a one-off card. I don't think they have Omen frames yet, but the Adventure frame looks fine to me. I kind of wish Omen frames had a little bit of reptilian flair to them, so they'd stand out a bit better.

I like to to imagine red cards that let you retrieve things from exile. I'd really love to have a way to recover the cards that I "impulse draw" but can't play right away. It's a recurring theme in my custom designs, and I also really, REALLY want Junk tokens in mainline Magic.

Last year, I participated in this contest with my Maelstrom Mania cube, featuring 30 copies of Invasion of Alara. It was my belief that most contestants would choose sensible, low-curve cards with an eye toward elegance in gameplay, and I decided to do the opposite, largely as a joke (but also...

Obsidian Charmaw Edit: I should have been more detailed in my response, but I suddenly had to leave my computer wanted to shout "Obsidian Charmaw" before vanishing. I love this cube! What a cool idea. This one and Pulp Nouveau have really got me worked up to build a flavor-forward cube of my own.

This set absolutely rules, and I think I'm especially drawn to it because it's a straight up zero-irony magical-fantasy collection of cards, and a real return to form for Magic worldbuilding. We're here to explore the land of Tarkir, interact with its peoples and cultures, and learn new magic...

Lotuslight Dancers Mardu Siegebreaker These two cards are going to make me find space for some 3-color cards in my Welder cube. Just totally sweet effects. Also: Phantom Steed Is this effect just completely outside the confines of the color pie? I feel like I'd believe this on almost any...

I like so many cards from this set that I'm debating just using about 50 cards from Dragonstorm as a base for a whole new cube. But I'm not ready to commit to that idea yet. Really trying to figure out if I can run Omens and Adventures in the same cube. Is it possible to do it as long as there...

Sometimes the art is so good, you have to add a whole new archetype to the cube.
