    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    This is a thing I want to do since long time ago, but I never found the correct balance of number of cards to be satisfied with and to try to do it really

    General Favorite Playest Cards?

    Oh, I love these but I was never able to buy them since they're too pricy! Also, almost nobody in the cube community plays them so I didn't know which were playable in a cube, maybe here I can steal some ideas! One that I love is Form of the Mulldrifter, I tried it in other forfun formats and...

    General Alternate Wins in Fair Cubes

    What an interesting topic! (It's not unusual, on this forum...) Yeah, I think consistency is the thing that helps Kiki combo the most. If you have only Kiki-Jiki and Pestermite in your cube, or only Kiki, Resto and Conscripts (and no Twin), probably it's okay. Yeah, sometimes somebody will...

    Card/Deck Enchantress?

    Hi everyone! A bit of necroposting here, since I'm looking at my cube and thinking that when I first built it, my favourite archetype was Enchantress (with Argothian Enchantress, Replenish, Serra's Sanctum and stuff like that, not the Kor Spiritdancer and Slippery Bogle version). Anyway, I cut...

    General Silver bordered cards

    Am I wrong, or it doesn't work with charms and modal spells since you choose the modes as you cast them? The only one that should work is Intuition I think, because the number of cards is something that can be changed after the spell is on the stack

    General Removal density

    I tried doing this but I had lots of questions so this is the breakdown (384 cube). I didn't count bounce: • true removal: 68 • counterspells: 11 • non-creature removal (balance, disenchant, armageddon): 15 Counting everything it's 24-25%, so pretty in line with the forum's average

    General Silver bordered cards

    I love them! I think that not enough people play with cards like those, the mystery booster test cards and the conspiracy stuff. I think that even in a "traditional" cube they could be easily played, it could be interesting to see what are the most fun and what are completely broken

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    Why don't you want Lava Spike combo? It's really fun and "fair" in contrast with other combos

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    So right now we already have a strictly better Shock, the best version ever of Terror-style removals, a powerful variant on Opt and… it’s just the first day

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Oops yeah my bad, too many good games ;) even though instead of Scopa I usually play Scopone Scientifico that's a regional variant with 9 cards instead of 3

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Yeah, Italy! I think the origin of Burraco is south American, but I don't know exactly the history of the game I have a similar thought, in my opinion in Magic it's easier to see the "best" lines, or at least to avoid very bad plays. But maybe it's just because I played a lot more Magic than...

    Exactly my same thought. Most of these cards seem like that they could easily be printed (in black or silver border), but they made them slightly different just to show “See? We can make unique digital cards that don’t work in paper!”

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Chess is great when you don’t play to win (so, when you and your opponent both aren’t that good). When it becomes too strategic it becomes less fun, also because it’s a perfect information game with a predetermined set of rules, so by Zermelo’s theorem (1913) there exists an optimal strategy...

    General We Make The Cube

    I’m voting for 375 The only issue I could see is if we add a second Booster Tutor, and a third, and so on

    General We Make The Cube

    With Booster Tutor in the cube we should finish at 375 though, right?

    General We Make The Cube

    I thought about re-adding Kabuto Moth but... yeah, now that Iname is gone, maybe the Spirit subtheme is not as strong... but someday it will come back to some cube ;) Can I add this guy? Richard Garfield, Ph.D. In case, I'm tagging @Velrun and @Jason Waddell

    Yeah I take the tag and add this: Flickerwisp Then I give back the tag to the wild

    Still, the new mechanics seem all something that could exist in paper Magic, but they tweaked it in a proper way exactly to make them feel different.
