    General Too Many Lands

    Unless you have all the components of a pod deck except for Birthing Pod, and the 16th card that wheels to you is Birthing Pod. If it wasn't a Birthing Pod, you would have a more generic deck. It's a hyperbolic example, but the point being that it does increase diversity to have drafted more...

    General Too Many Lands

    If you're trying to make a narrow strategy come together, seeing more cards in the draft will help regardless of changing the cube's size. For exmapple, suppose there are 30 cards in a 360 cube that strongly support a storm deck. It's fair to assume that some of these cards are narrow enough...

    I've heard very good things. Also, Codenames: Pictures just came out! I picked up a copy but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

    General Too Many Lands

    "Shock land of choice" seems like it would be an extremely high pick. Personally, I like the tension that specific shock lands provide since they enable the fetches so well and are still solid on their own. Perhaps "battle land of choice"? That way they still enable the fetches without being...

    General Too Many Lands

    I want a high diversity of decks for my cube. You can add more narrow spells all day to support more strategies with fewer colors, but you won't ever be able to produce the same diversity as cross-color options. Retail formats--due to less fixing--tend to have fewer deck types, but they make...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think having one Aether Hub double-squad would probably work well. Two squads might be too pushed, just imagining someone with all four. I guess it depends on how much incentive other players have to make use of energy without playing an all-out energy deck.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I have it at Utility Land power level, and it works fine there. I've always thought it was a bit too weak for my main draft.

    I'm always keeping an eye out for more cheap discard outlets, and this is a rather nice one. Getting very close to feeling good about a madness theme. #savetheskywhales

    This card has excellent flavor. Take this key to get into the city. Keep it secret. No one must find out that I gave you the key. Such intrigue! The stress takes a toll on my mind. (later) Thank the gods, you've returned! Here, the payment I promised for the secrets you have stolen...

    I would be so, so happy to see a new and improved Pentavus. Running tax effects (Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, etc.) along with discard outlets would be pretty great I imagine. A bit narrow to pull off in cube, though. EDIT: Superb with Welder. Weld Orrery in eot when you're hellbent, draw...

    I got my cube box from this shop, and I love it. https://www.etsy.com/shop/designcraftindustrie?ref=l2-shopheader-name You can see a picture of it if you go to my cube thread (in sig).

    General CBS

    Sadly, magiccards.info might be dead. Still no updates for Eldritch Moon and it still thinks Fate Reforged is in Standard. The rumor is that the owner stopped updating it when he sold mtgsalvation, which he also owned.

    General The Cube Contest

    For E Domain, breaking singleton seems more elegant than using Scions. In fact, I think it would be best to break singleton a bit more liberally to make it clear that it's a "theme" of the cube. My cube only has a few instances of singleton-breaking, which I'm happy with, but I feel like WotC...
