    General Making broken cards fair

    The thing with Oppossition is that it's fun to draft and it creates a viable, interesting archetype in a guild that lacks it. You can also include several colours, include more creatures or more disruption or combine it with other decks. I think that's the appeal of the card. But it's just...

    General Blue cantrips or "Why not run a billion Brainstorms?"

    For a long time, I have had three blue cantrips in my cube: Ponder Preordain Brainstorm But I've noticed two of those are sorceries and I've been tempted to do a Wadell and just run lots of Brainstorms over them. But why? I don't know why I should choose one over the other. So here are some...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I decided to slap down a random 3-drop and just add Beast Within. Which I'm sure is a bad card, but oh well. To be honest, while there are a couple cards I might cut or replace here and there, I'm very happy with how things turned out. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR. A YEAR OF DESIGN.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It's far from busted in cube. At five mana, it requires a specific build to work. Something like Ramp can make good use of it to refill. It's also good with Welder and graveyard-based synergies. Consider the following: - Wheel of Fortune, Windfall and Timetwister are not very strong in cube. -...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Sadly, I don't think I can run bouncelands given the land destruction package I run and the high pressure of my cube. I just don't want a UR land a slower deck can't run without taking 4-5 damage over the course of the game. I can run a painland or a temple, but I'm not sure how those are. The...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    More removal in green is always welcome. However, I would prefer to run another 3-drop and have Beast Within or whatever in the cube. The issue is fitting the latter and that I'm not sure if the card is actually good or not. Perhaps I should remove Seasons Past because I never actually manage...

    General Fight Club

    Flickerwisp in white. A bunch of bounce spells in blue like Waterfront Bouncer and Barrin, Tolarian Archmage. Erratic Portal I don't run many cards worth blinking that aren't creatures. There's Parallax Wave, Tangle Wire and Propethic Prism, but that's it. I also run Guilded Drake, which is a...

    Desolate Lighthouse Is this a bad card? I was running the UR canopy land but I wanted to run something to help control in that slot instead. Thoughts?

    Yeah, it seems the ELO comes from across all the website which really puts a damper on its usefulness. I don't think Reveillark is the 13th worst card on my cube!

    Kor Skyfisher vs Charming Prince I think I have one too many of these effects. Ant recommendations?

    Is there a way in Cubecobra to see the least (and most) drafted cards in your cube?

    Walls are awesome, making aggro players cry is just icing on the cake.

    General Fight Club

    I would never cut Sol'Kanar, it being a very strong card in your cube is unique, fun and far better than an efficient planeswalker or whatever. I would just cut Bolas, which is a less interesting card than all others.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Cutting down the losers and shoring up major archetype weaknesses through power cards has been a real breakthrough. I'm still seeing exactly the same archetypes as before, but I spend less cards doing so. This liberates space to support more archetypes and improve the cube. Some changes: 1)...

    I knew they were going to "phase it out" despite the slight functional change the moment I saw they put the keyword on the new Teferi.

    General Show me your Simic decks

    I'm having a bit of trouble with my Simic section at the moment. It seems difficult to move into it, even if it's open, and I'm not overly fond of the resulting decks. I was wondering what your Simic decks look like and if you wouldn't mind sharing them for inspiration.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think it's a plain +2/+2. The token is pretty minor and you are only going to get it if you are winning significantly. After all, to get the token you need: A creature An equipment attached to that creature To be attacking If you are losing, your creature got blow up or the like, it's...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Let's explore this a bit: Why did I start getting cool graveyard/discard-based decks the moment I cut all the support cards? The answer is easy: Those cards weren't useful and instead of helping me create new archetypes were distracting me from them. For example, I was running too many...
