    They are indeed Regrowth and Ephemerate! I'll fix them.

    Why do I get a card back in Cube Cobra? I don't know what card is it or why it's giving me an error!

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Yeah, I also fear it's too good against aggro. In general, lifelink can turn aggro matchups into a joke so I'm not too fond of it. Anyways, I'm thinking to make this additions: Valakut Exploration Chandra, Torch of Defiance Nettlecyst Sunlance With this I close both the red and white sections...

    Valakut Exploration Is this card good? Does it need any particualr synergies to be great or is it enough to have fetchlands and a few "lands matter" cards, like Crucible of Worlds?

    Cosmic is one of the most memorable games ever made. It's only topped by Dune's Bene Gesserit prediction win and it was made by the same designers.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I'm liking both Upheaval and Foundation Breaker a lot. They have opened more control decks to exist and given a boost to colour combinations that I thought could have done with it. And Vessel seems cool so far, it just requires more testing than the other two. Still, progress is very slow. I...

    Both cards are cool, with Divine Sacrament being the coolest. However, I don't think it's playable for two reasons: 1) It only affects white creatures 2) White has an awful time filling the graveyard The combination of both make the card just a bad design, sadly.

    Watcher for Tomorrow vs Fblthp, the Lost I don't want to overload my cube with 2 mana creatures that draw a card but they are all very useful. Which of these do you like more? I run Pod and Blink and both are good with those archetypes.

    Decayed seems clunky but it does address the inherent issues with token spam.

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    I still don't understand how this works but since I'm trying to reduce the number of double-sided cards in my cube it's not like it would affect me much!

    So, what is the most powerful threaten effect in red beyond Zealous Conscripts? I'm looking to give my Aristocrat decks a bit of a push Claim the First Born Kari Zev's Expertise Wrangle

    Ok I'm going to start with these three cards: Foundation Breaker Upheaval Vessel of Nascency And add more tomorrow or the next few days.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I made a small syntax mistake and half of my post didn't show up! Oh no! I fixed it, though. I've been tempted to squaddron a few cards or use similar methods but so far I'm resisting. It adds another "rule" to the cube and my drafters aren't very expeienced. Thanks for all the suggestions...

    It's too slow to grow in a fair deck and it doesn't grow big enough. Goyf isn't spectacular in cube and one could argue it's no longer a star in the era of FIRE designs. But what makes it good is that it can easily become a 4/5 and wall an incoming horde. Runaway Steam-Kin can't gain that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    You are right than just any broad removal spell can do the trick. Right now I run the following: Unexpectedly Absent Prismatic Ending Oblivion Ring Elspeth Conquers Death That's quite a few options so perhaps white doesn't need the slot. So that leaves me with 1 free white slot plus a...

    They recently renewed the IP for Netrunner or something of the sort. -- Regarding Kamigawa, I think you guys are too harsh on it. Here's how I see it. First, Champions of Kamigawa is great. It really is. It had a lot of interesting, unique and fun designs like Gifts Ungiven, Heartbeat of...

    Tendrils of Agony Mind's Desire It's combo mechanic and, hence, inherently uninteractive. And yet I think it's the most interesting combo archetype in the game because it's the only one where the "solution" is different each time. It's clever, fun and you often have to these these strange lines...

    Ok, time to make some more improvements. First, a bunch of poor performers: Xathrid Necromancer Yawgmoth's Will Lash of Malice Crater Hellion Staggershock Commit // Memory Trinket Mage God-Pharaoh's Gift Living Twister Mystic Snake There are more, like Scroll Rack, but I don't have the heart...

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I also cut Feldon. He's just too vulnerable for such a demanding card. You need to draft big creatures, fill the graveyard with them and pay a minimun of six mana to get your Corpse Dance effect. If he gets blown up or things don't line up, you are in an awful position. It's kind of like playing...
