I fell out of love with Baneslayer in cube. Let's develop a more nuanced argument than the obvious one that she dies to removal. We consider popular cards that exhibit similar weaknesses as BSA, and I suggest cards that might replace these. I realize that this is contentious territory. If my...

In the latest Cultic Cube, I argue for articulating your environment's parameters in a way that helps to define your goals and to better communicate your aims to others. landofMordor, author of the Strix Scale for rating cube power and speed, joins us!

Thanks very much for the feedback and for the kind words! I appreciate the insight into what you find valuable in YT content.

Fair enough! I don't even count the flip walkers as walkers, lol. That would increase my count. Kytheon really is a creature from my perspective -- an excellent Savannah Lions. I also play JVP, who is a bit more the Planeswalker than Kytheon is, but still, he's very often a looter who eats a bolt.

I am glad you enjoyed the video and felt as if it had meaningful content to offer. Several people have told me that this was their favorite of my videos to date as it is treating a somewhat advanced topic that is potentially useful to enfranchised cube designers. I'm still sort of feeling out...

Planeswalkers are powerful, iconic, and divisive. In this video, I explain why I have dispensed with Planeswalker caps in my cube and why you might consider doing so, too. My thanks to you all for your insightful explanations of your walker philosophy! I am delighted to be able to share a bit of...

Yay, I'm delighted that you enjoyed it! Thanks for saying so! :) I love big Boros, too. I'm basically the only one in my group who ever builds it, and I don't draft the deck often, but I enjoy RW balance+wildfire+rocks. I like Boros Nahiri there.

Gold sections are hard in #mtgcube! It is equally true, though, that multicolor cards are sweet. This video helps you find the gold cards that work best for your goals and to run them at a ratio that makes sense for your environment.

Great points! I don't have a good answer for you, and honestly I arrived at my current ramp density by feel. My group felt that ramp was being undersupported, so I kept adding ramp spells, testing, and adding ramp spells until we arrived at a number that felt comfortable. But my number may well...

I'm not in any sense a representative of Cobra -- I'm 100% unaffiliated with them. But just to say, there's a whole gaggle of really smart developers working on the project now that it's open source, and they are releasing features and fixes at an astonishing rate. They just came out with v2.0...

As the future of Cube Tutor is uncertain, it is worth looking to alternatives. In this video review, I discuss how relative newcomer Cube Cobra compares with Cube Tutor. #notsponsored

Thank you so much! <3 I learn a little something with each effort.

I am hyped about the addition of some Kamigawan cards in my legacy cube. Here we tackle why the Genju are in many ways comparable to the top tier creature lands. Stick these land auras in your format and profit!

Do you love contraptions, beebles, & shouting "Gotcha!" or do you prefer your Magic in black borders? Either way, we've got you. Cultic Cube & cubefortwo collaborate on a series that is all about un-. My video addresses which silver border cards fit in black border environments. Cubefortwo...

Force of Negation is the slightly ungainly love-child of Negate and Force of Will, though it turned out looking rather more like Cancel than either of its parents. Here we consider whether the new blue Force deserves a spot in your cube or a slot in your cube deck.

Cultic Cube #13 is live! Our starting point is a viewer question about Equipment that is off the beaten path and that may serve as archetype role players. We consider a broad swath of fun Equipment which is suitable for more and less powerful environments.

So it does! :) I am on a quiet crusade against Manaliths, I guess. But I entirely see your point that the 3 cmc rocks make a lot of sense in an environment sculpted around them, and one that eschews wrath of god for fumigate and so on. I'll take all the cheap wraths I can get, and I...

Wizards introduced vehicles a few short years ago, but it feels as if we have already seen the best of them. (R.I.P. Weatherlight and Parhelion II). Which are the best vehicles for your cube deck? How highly should you take them in draft? Which belong in your cube? And which of those that might...

In 2010, Mark Rosewater, with characteristic enthusiasm, likened creature lands to the iPad. We discuss what he meant by this, which of these you should include in your cube, and when you should draft them. We'll touch on the recently spoiled creature land from Modern Horizons 1, and the new one...

Ah, I just responded to your comment on the video page! I like the Myr approach. I ran Palladium for a time, and he underperformed for me thanks to his fragility. But that was in the context of more traditional mana rocks as well, so people had options that were simply preferable to the Myr. I...
