    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Are you still cubing with Doomsday? I came across this primer today and wondered if Grenzo, Dungeon Warden could add another dimension to the already intriguing archetype. Thoughts?

    Sets (RNA) Ravnica Allegiance Spoilers

    The way Krasis reads is annoying. Why isn't it costed at {X}{X}{U}{G}, gain X life and draw X cards, and ETBs with 2X +1/+1 counters, rather than the clunky rounding down clause?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Can I ask a maybe silly question: Unspent mana empties from your mana pool at the end of each phase, right? So after the damage phase of combat, your mana pool empties and then you go to your postcombat main phase. So why does Aanetra empty your mana pool a second time? Is there Omnath or some...

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    Holy shit its been years since I posted this, just stumbled across it again and wow, what an interesting idea. I realize I've essentially described word2vec but with Magic cards instead of words, and I didn't know about word2vec back in 2015, lol.

    Re: abilities on the swords. You could try out the "ring" cycle from M13 (at the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature if it is ~color). Two-for-one bonus, you could do a "hexproof light" by requiring mana to give it hexproof. Ring of Evos Isle

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    A friend and I broke open a 500-card mystery box we bough from our LGS last week, and grid drafted its contents. It was terrible, mostly from lack of cards that can win the game. Our decks were terrible, but I put this "engine" together to win a game and it was satisfying. Sage's Row Denizen...

    General Vakeztan - The Riptide Lab Set

    Here's my opinion: If you really want this to be something special, design it to be drafted as a cube, not as a retail set. Don't limit yourself to set skeletons or common/uncommon NWO ideas. Decide what you want game play to look like and build exciting cards around those styles. Craft unique...

    My suggestion: Find a die cut (example given) in the shape you like, then cut the shapes out of mail labels or similar writable stickers.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well, how do you feel about this card: Doom Blade Parachute {1}{B} Instant Destroy target non-black, non-artifact creature. Create a 1/1 Human Mercenary token with "At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrafice this unless you pay {1}{B}." It's the same thing, but as a spell instead of a...

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Question: is this set meant to be drafted retail-style, or drafted as a 360/450 cube?

    General Vakeztan - A Riptide Lap-Set

    Many-veined is awkard sounding. I too am many-veined, and yet here I still wait to claim my unsung throne... May I suggest Okat, God of the Crimson Sun? (Or Okat, the Crimson Sun) Their ritual could include sacrifice to the sun at its zenith, or some belief that the sun is actually made of blood

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Back in the wild days of Cube, I distinctly remember someone casting Treachery on me in order to fix his mana (needed the third black mana) to cast Cruel Ultimatum on the same turn. That might be the most disgusting play I've ever lost to.
