There's going to be a small change in the deadline structure. We'll have a soft deadline and hard deadline this time. February 2nd: Soft deadline Use this deadline if you want a thorough review by me! I Won't be reviewing or voting for you cube if you miss this one, but just like last time...

If you want to change you basic land box, that's fine. I do want to press how easy it is to have a consistent mana base for 15-card decks though. Both examples you included will make 5-color decks trivial. If that's your intend, cool! Otherwise I'd advise you to do some test-runs to see if just...

You forgot one! park map

Some cards are scary, because they might become broken with the wrong number. Unstable Glyphbridge is one: the card is fine by itself. The reason I felt safe adding it to this cube is that you have to pay two instalments of five mana, exile an artifact from the graveyard, resulting a big...

Some nice articles about 15-card singularity (practically this challenge) from 2018: - Introducing Fifteen-Card Highlander Draft Cube - Fifteen-Card Highlander Cube Update #1 - Fifteen-Card Highlander Cube Update #2 - Reintroduction of Fifteen-Card Highlander Cube The links may take a while to...

Fair, it changes things, but it's still in line with the spirit of the contest!

I'd be fine with that, although I don't think it matters too much for design

I've made nanocubes before, it's faster than you think. Every additional card you draw loses you a turn: the player on the draw has only 7 turns to win. Reshuffle effects become essential for control decks. Certainly possible, but creating that environment has a sizable impact on the cube...

When the 1life cube was the hottest thing, a meta developed where the first player just waited out the opponent. 1life cube decks have 15 cards too, so the opponent would deck out faster. Cubes developed, the meta progressed, the problem was solved, but it is certainly a thing to mind! Serene...

1. Sealed would be fine, I'm adamant of the 15-card deck size though 2. No! Didn't consider making that rules optional, but I like the spice it brings 3. No custom rules, but seeding packs would be fine 4. I dare you! I've updated the description! Yeah these kinds of things are exactly the...

Small cubes are awesome, as they enable designers to dive into very specific archetypes. How small can we go? Contest Rules 72 cards hopefully makes the design challenge manageable, while making the cube playable for 2 players (grid drafting) or 4 players (2 packs of 9). 1. your cube has...

Since I wrote this I actually deep-dived into D&D and finished a ton of projects related to it! Funny how fast these things change. Magic actually took a backseat because of this. For the people here enjoying D&D: I've written 7 one-page dungeons that are available for free! Let me know what...

I've been on a little hiatus (as you can also see on the dates of the sign-off on these stickered cards), but have found my apatite for Magic and especially the stickered cube again! I expect to run at least two small drafts before the year is over. Anyway, who am I to rid you of the thing...

I think I'll do it in January instead, avoiding the holidays!

I'm considering running another cube design contest in November, but want to know if there would be interest for it (would be the 3rd contest of 2024) Good idea? Bad idea? Let me know!

17 cards for me (for a 180 card cube!). For me it's mostly the commander cards though: 7 total! It's really because of all the adventures, which I adore. I'm surprised noone mentioned them yet. Their power level is perfect for what I want. Blessed Hippogriff Greatsword of Tyr Horn of Valhalla...

Jeskai Cube Includes: Norin, Swift Survivalist Norin, Swift Survivalist fills a hole in my cube. I've been looking for an agressive red 1drop for some time that's simple. I'm also always on the lookout for legendary creatures. Lastly, I love how Norin sort-of hints at a blink theme in red...

This is the first real inside joke added. Someone primarily cubing his Vintage Cube was mocking all the low-powered cards in this cube, especially Omega Myr, when having a look before the draft. When the card came around to him, he couldn't resist! Building on the phenomenon that was the Giant...
