    General Cards you regret adding to your cube

    Clocknapper Powerful + Unintuitive is not a good combination.

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Hell yes, this is going to cement RW as the combat trick / pump spell combo guild in my cube.

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Interesting to see the new Oracle text on it so soon. Wonder if that's why they're reprinting it.

    The Rama Pair Cube

    Also did a draft, and I agree on all counts. I had a pretty neat storm deck going, but didn't pick up much fixing to do the Wilderness Reclamation splash I wanted to get in. The pair idea seems to work wonderfully, one of those ideas where I wish I would have thought of it first. For giving...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I have nightmares about this card. It's a fairer Opposition, in a way, which means still busted. Tends to generate repetitive gameplay and snowball very hard.

    The Mox Cube

    The sheer amount of awesome moments created by this cube and work you've put into this project makes me want to proxy it out and try it. Inspiring to be sure.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    You can also go with redundancy: Noose Constrictor. edit: i can't read. Seconding the Harpooner and the Fauna Shaman, also for your consideration: Den Protector

    General The Draft Exchange

    Speaking of Winter Orb, does anyone have experience cubing it? I'm super into the idea of a cheap artifact with a unique effect like that, but I have little experience playing it.

    General The Draft Exchange

    Do you think I have too many payoffs for the UR spells deck? I like the consistency, and the list you drafted feels like nitroglycerin, but I’m wondering if I’m oversaturating a bit.

    Astra's New Thead (450 Unpowered Updates)

    Made the swap from Elixir of Immortality to Karn, Scion of Urza. Elixir is pretty much the poster child for "cards inexperienced players put in their deck for the wrong reason", so it gets the axe. I like the minigame that Karn puts in the game and he hasn't felt overpowered playing him in...

    General The Draft Exchange

    Drafting Safra's cube: P1P1 Magus of the Bazaar, wanted to try something a little off the wall and that certainly fits the bill. Actively looking for stuff with madness, flashback, etc now. P1P2 Snappy to keep me in one color, and P1P3 a Bone Dragon because of how quickly we're filling the...

    Sets (RNA) Ravnica Allegiance Spoilers

    I play Ravos and he's a very good Baneslayer. Works nicely as an anthem, synergies with sacrifice strategies for the mardu aristocrats decks that are popular in my environment. Design-wise I'm really high on "stellar if you untap with it" cards at the moment.

    General Errata'ing Cards

    I plan to do this extensively once I figure out the MakePlayingCards logistics. Also allows for foils of cards that don't come in foil!

    Astra's New Thead (450 Unpowered Updates)

    Sup all, going to start this thread as a place to write tournament reports, updates, and kind of gather my thoughts about my environment. I've been happy overall with the games my cube is generating, but something I've noticed is that a lot of games go very long. This might be a product of...

    Sets (RNA) Ravnica Allegiance Spoilers

    I feel like I'll try them all, at the very least starting out. If it feels oversaturated or that black aggro is too strong, Champion probably gets the cut. I have a mild human theme (xathrid, champion, liutenant), but in the context of the black aggro deck I think that wanderer returning...

    I'd like to, but i run Gravecrawler bloodsoaked champion Dread Wanderer already. Is 4 too many? My other black 1s are: cryptbreaker and carrion feeder

    When you go to edit list and hit remove/replace, you can do a bunch of those before hitting submit.

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Apparently WAR is not going to be a "Ravnica Set", but merely set on Ravnica, so I don't expect the full multicolor gambit. It will be interesting getting another Bolas with one already so strong in standard. I also really wanna see what the hell Niv has been doing.

    Sets (RNA) Ravnica Allegiance Spoilers

    Judith, the Scourge Diva Card has been bonkers good and is a great signpost for RB aristocrats aggro Makes your 1/xs trade with x/3s. Does everything you want it to and more. In constructed, the second copy is a shock since they both see her legend rule herself :O I'm waffling on Gutterbones...
