Not being able to interact with a whole card type is poor design. I think colours can have weakness but not being able to interact is not far off from not being able to draw cards. It should be a basic effect, not a weakness. Either way, it's not a huge problem if you keep it in mind or your...

For me the biggest fear is it getting into play on turn 3 via Tinker. You can reanimate it faster but I'm much less scared of Reanimator as an archetype, it's far more vulnerable. I was actually thinking of replacing Triniform with it so that's actually a point in its favour. It hits a bit too...

Myr Battlesphere How powerful is this when played fairly? And is it too dumb if I have Tinker in my cube? Tinker will hit on turn three but I know it's one of the best targets in the MTGO Vintage Cube.

I read your post about running an artifact theme in your cube so I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure what you have in mind but so far it seems you are going overboard and trying to force it when just a few cards would do. Even when going the Mirrodin route, I think you can do it without as...

I run an artifact theme in my cube but the cube as a whole is not about artifacts. I think you only need a handful of payoffs and then simply replacing a few spells by spellbombs, artifact creatures and so on. That said, I'm increasinly artifacting my cube, though.

I play WB Yorion with both Demonic Pact and Treacherous Blessing. It's a cool deck but it's extremely reliant on actually having Yorion on every game to get massive card advantage. Without it, I'm not sure Treacherous Blessing would be much better than more normal black draw. You can eat it with...

You forgot about Fortine. Aren't you excited about it? It looks so fun! Can't wait for Marvel and The Simpsons to make it into the game.

They saw there's a bunch of these "old template planeswalker" templates online and they decided to make some of them themselves.

I think there are some really cool designs here. In fact, some of them have been released as real cards now. I can imagine a few will make it as digital-only cards or with slight changes. I like: Wrath of Sod Form of the Mulldrifter Innocuous Insect Growth Charm Waste Land

Timeless Witness vs Grapple with the Past Which of these middling cards do you like more and why?

Why do you consider it a bug? You don't like how it walls 2/2s?

Thanks a lot of the help! Some thoughts. First, I've ran through the list again and decided to make more cuts: Dragonmaster Outcast Anger Dread Return Suspend Think Twice Collective Effort Collected Company Honored Hydra Alesha, Who Smiles at Death Dragonmaster just wasn't a pull into lands...

First, I want to thank you guys for drafting my cube. Every time you do I learn a lot. You are better players than I am and you see the cube in a far more neutral more than I ever will. So it's invaluable to me. I should return the favour more often, I really should. I'm preparing a second...

Oh I'm cutting Reflector Mage for Unsettled Mariner. I just want to try the card and see if I actually want to draft it. Moderation looks cool but it's yet another 3-mana card!

The thing with Kiki-Twin is that you can build a normal deck that just so happens to have a game-winning combo in it. It asks relatively little of you and, in my experience, it just leads to lots of interesting games that suddenly end because someone topdecked the right card.

Personally, I don't think any of the mechanics they've shown so far are good enough to justify separating Arena from Paper. In particular "perpetually" looks terrible for the same reason the Strixhaven double faced cards with 15 different abilities do. It's not a "memory issue" for me as much as...

I run almost all the cards on your list so I really think I should give it a shot. I'm going to try this: Reflector Mage -> Unsettled Mariner Two additions: Tidehollow Sculler Callous Bloodmage Some changes in red. One is a test another is a likely switch. I Thrill of Possibility ->...

Funnily enough, I'm actually scared of it becoming yet another Cursed Scroll that demolishes fair decks by killing a creature each turn. I think Ophiomancer is too strong. Embodiment of Agonies looks cool but I don't know how much Keyword: Big actually matters in my cube. I already run Figure...

I've never seen Winter's Chill before! It looks cool. I would look into snow if you really like those cards, though, the cost is very small. Perhaps just adding snow basics to the box would be enough. Frankly, the long text on Winter's Chill seems the biggest roadblock to me. Personally, I love...

I think both are pretty broken but I wanted to give them a try. Sadly, I need the reminder text, I just wish it had the 3 mana cost added. I've been checking all cards in the slots I've been missing and there are less options than I thought. Also, while I might not know exactly what I want, I...
