Oh, I thought you only ran one! Still, I do believe Skyclave is going to be better for me here, I feel the mana is less of a limitation than size. Anyways, I've been thinking about which black reanimator targets I actually want. Rune-scarred Demon feels terrible even as a placeholder...

They say great minds think alike! I've also noticed I could support Death Shadow in my cube if I switched to Ravnica Duals. At a glance, they should work without too much hassle, but I have never actually played with the cards! My fear is if they will actually be good in practice.

I've done even more changes to the cube. Starting with my black section: Virtue of Persistence -> Orcish Bowmasters Tendrils of Agony -> Sheoldred, the Apocalypse My question here is, can I replace Tendrils of Agony with Sheoldred? Certainly, a wheel gets close to a kill and you have Sedgemoor...

It's difficult because we are always limited by our own skill. We can only approximate what is balanced as far as we can see it, often with our own biases. But I do think it's great advice: If you build the decks, you'll quickly notice which cards are 24th picks, which ones are fine but don't...

After trying, I've decided not to go high power. The reason is that I can only find two, perhaps three, reasons to go for it: Griselbrand Skullclamp Tolarian Academy It feels like a lot of work for such little gain, particularly since some of my archetypes may struggle at a higher power level...

Lotus Field What are you using this card for?

It's a worse version of: Parallax Wave Which I love and recommend everyone to try out!

I've been thinking about the changes I've to the cube. Most of them have been more impactful than I ever thought they would be. Staff of the Storyteller Lingering Souls Staff should become a cube staple, at least to the same degree as Young Pyromancer. It's the best card I've found so far to...

Davelle looks strong, but it's a fantastic design.

For me the biggest one is realizing that, just because something can act as "support", it doesn't mean you would ever want to run the card. For example, you could probably play Countless Gear Renegade in blink. But will you be happy spending Momentary Blink on it? Even if it's 3/3 of stats for...

Fantastic and truly helpful post, thank you Nanonox. I can't believe I never thought of doubling up on Dark Ritual. I was always annoyed by how limited Cabal Ritual is in comparison but I never thought about just running two copies! You are completely right about the red spells, by the way...

Gaddok Teeg is symmetrical, sadly. So it may lock you out from some key cards for your deck. However, I do want to look into more cards like this, particularly if my power level goes up again. Let's talk about that. As you know, I'm trying to square the circle by having a fair, interactive cube...

I currently run Archon of Cruelty as the most powerful top-end payoff. And it's a cool card. However, I'm kind of envious of people who run Griselbrand because you can reanimate it as a draw 7 in storm decks. I've thought about running it, instead, but I'm afraid it would be too powerful...

Yep. I didn't want to make the post too messy so I didn't mention it, but it's true. For example, while Dark Depths only takes 4 slots, three of those slots (Dark Depths, Tespian's Stage, Crop Rotation) are good only in that archetype. The combo is extremely strong, though! I don't run it...

I hadn't seen the Cauldron until now and it's wordy as hell, but you are right that it's graveyard hate plus engine. Rishkar is awesome. It's not good-stuff, but it works in so many decks and so many ways. It's a standout in my cube.

DEFINITION & EFFICIENCY No matter how many cards compose our cube, its number will always be finite. And since the card pool is limited and only forty cards go in a deck, we may come to realize that the number of slots available are limited. Given this scarcity I want to introduce the concept...

I have a question for you guys. Is this deck any good: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/4a012152-9e08-4d81-be31-7279929db1f2 Earthcraft Paradox Engine Escape to the Wilds It's not the lack of interaction that worries me. I think that can be solevd through better drafting. It's the whole concept...

I have a soft spot for Magic and have good memories of it. However, it is quite flawed as a game. It's extremely expensive, random chance dominates and many decks just aren't that fun to play with or against. Building a cube lets me minimize all those flaws and focus on what I like the most...

The loss of deck names in Cube Cobra has been a huge hit, now I can't even check my own archetypes! But I can come back a thousand years later to tinker with the cube a bit. First, some obvious replacements: Reckless Impulse -> Questing Druid I didn't notice at first, but the adventure in...

Can you no longer give your drafted decks names in Cube Cobra? I've noticed that even my old names dissapeared
