I hope that's not necessary. I hope the Volatile Chimera would be so central to the cube that adding them to your deck would be implicit. I was wondering if the chimera is really just a 5-drop dressed as a 3-drop. Removal is a big deal.

Volatile Chimera I've been thinking about this card a lot. Could it support a cube in the same way an Ornithopter apparently can? I am tinkering a lot, trying to make this card the beating heart of a cube. Right now, I'm pondering a setup like this: - Adding 6-8 Volatile Chimera per player -...

Survey is live, although I haven't seen it advertised anywhere

I was foolishly assuming I had a perfect system that prevents bans. I hadn't. Honestly, I'm (foolishly) assuming I have a system now that wouldn't need bans. There's a little more balance possible with the toughness-based system I have, but yes, inevitably things will not be fun to play...

Banning Cards I have made some mistakes when building this cube, which threaten to linger if I don't remove some of the permanently stickered cards. It's a shame that things have come to this, but I learned some valuable lessons that I'd like to share here. Hopefully these can help you if you...

I really like the flavor of Bloomburrow! I'll definitely add some cards to my Jeskai Cube, although I don't know where I'll draw the line exactly, these cards peaked my interest, in order of likelihood (likely to unlikely): Tempest Angler Hop to It Dour Port-Mage Bria, Riptide Rogue Brazen...

Playing with 4 Players I fired two 4-person drafts with the cube! Clearly the time needed for deck construction is significantly increased due to the stickering of cards, but this was especially obvious when being a little more time-constrained than I was before. However, just these two draft...

You didn't. You also didn't say "for example" or "mainly" or anything indicating anyone else than the shareholders enjoy UB. So yes, your initial post could read as you suggesting it's only the shareholders. If you didn't intend that you could use one of the words I mentioned above.

Thanks for you noble sacrifice, that makes things a little easier on my part @MilesOfficial , do you accept this outcome?

White's Addition I already have my Jeskai cube, so I wanted to add a color to this cube as an experiment. I think a 4-color 180 card cube is better for 4 players, although I also think it decreases the tension for 2 players. Another advantage is that the pool of cards that fit this cube is quite...

When I made this contest I was tempted to make a "don't choose a land as your egg" rule (to avoid the like of Terramorphic Expanse becoming the easy choice), but I didn't want to stifle the creativity lands could provide. When you presented your egg, it felt like just a variant on a generic...

IMPORTANT! You may only vote for 2 cubes! For further information, see the contest thread NO GUTSY NO GLORY - Mister Gutsy tldr: voltron it up in a low-to-the-ground battlefield Gaslight, Gatekeep, Green - Land Grant tldr: though fetchlands were the most dynamic? think again! Work of the Wicked...

Without any real playtests it's difficult to really balance anything, let alone make that (im)balance apparent at first glance. I'll mainly be looking at the impact of the egg on the drafting and deckbuilding, not gameplay directly.

It's fine! I'll add yours to the list. The only caveat is that I'll prioritize the other cubes when giving my own feedback. On that note; @Nemo and @Onderzeeboot would you like to be included as well? Both of you didn't have 180 cards at the time of posting (although I see Nemo has upped their...

Just like the Dutch Railway Company (NS), I gave everyone 5 additional minutes to add their entries. But from this moment onward THE LINES ARE CLOSED. I believe these are our entries (correct me if I'm wrong): NO GUTSY NO GLORY - @MilesOfficial Gaslight, Gatekeep, Green - @LadyMapi Work of the...

I would guess Blood (for the bats) or Junk (for the racoons) actually!

Adding rules and restrictions is fine, although I'd say this specific one kind of dilutes the purpose of having 30+ eggs in the cube, since you'd have those 30 cards in a kind-of 360 shell, which means you could draft and build your deck without utilizing your egg. I'll allow it but am not a...

Yes! Hadn't considered it but it's certainly in the spirit of the contest!

Deadline Specifics With less than a week to go, I would like to specify the requirements for entries in this contest! - Deadline is the 2nd of July, 16:00 UTC - I need a link to the CubeCobra cubelist - The last link sent will be your entry, unless stated otherwise @LadyMapi and @MilesOfficial...
