So, I think I will try exchanging the karoos for the 1 mana cycle lands, like: Forgotten Cave They seem like they will help enable a few mechanics in the cube and will generally smooth things. I also have a full set so I can sleeve them up in time for our next draft on Wednesday! The other...

What do you think are some archetypes for each wedge/share thst have strong support in enablers and build arounds? I’m thinking from the perspective of a cube design that starts with wedges and shard identities and then takes it from there.

Trampling and death touch creatures will happily take your swords for you

Oh yeah, Somniphore is a BEATING if you can’t block it right away

In some ways, tap lands are like adding 1-2 more 1-drops to your hand

Sometimes I think the decisions you have to make in terms of sequencing with come-into-play-tapped lands adds some interesting texture to the games. Like the decision of sequencing the lands to play a card in hand now on turn three, or prepare for the possible top-decking of an out that you...

I still keep toying with the idea of formalizing this in the cube structure, somehow. Something like having some number of wildcard slots.. maybe 24, so there is one per pack. Randomly pull some of those from some distribution of cards that fit the cube and it's archetypes (separate pools for...

Regarding singleton, I think Jason had a good point about it w/rt powermax cubes. Powermax cubes started with the heuristic "is it one of the x (x=50, 70, etc) most powerful cards in this color?" to determine if something is included. If you didn't also have the singleton rule, then you'd have...

One issue with fetch lands, besides the cost, is all the shuffling. It’s a cool effect when it’s instantaneous (online), but can get a little tedious in person.

What is Ral holding?

How have Somg of Freyalise, Whisper, Dismissive Pyromancer, and Tetsuko been? Why did you swap out Legion’s Landing? Power level?

We did the draft. It was a lot of fun! I made a pretty nasty Gruul angry midrange graveyard recursion deck. Some of the all stars were Genesis, Kessig Cage Breakers, and the red Khenra that has haste and makes a target unable to block. That last guy is pretty nasty when he's in the graveyard...

Here is a rough idea of how I'd use this: Start with standard 360 cube or similar. Power level probably ought to be something middle-ish (like Sigh's cube maybe)? Play it normally, but occasionally optionally include 1 extra "rare" card in each pack that is randomly picked from a pool of 100...

I see, yeah I've just seen him in action in powerful modo cubes

Jitte and Skullclamp are up there on the Scarab God Scale

I’m going to nominate primeval titan

What are some cards that would be common p1p1 in most cubes, but aren’t GRBS on the level of jitte, TNN, mind twist or whatever? Basically, high powered cards that have some play to them. I ask because an idea I am toying with is a singleton cube but with another stack of “rares” that are...

Right now, I'm looking at Inventor's Fair as a candidate, although I would feel bad swapping out the cube's namesake, lol. In other news, we're going to draft this cube on Thursday
