Designing a Cube is hard. There are so many ways to design a cube. Here are some alternative design methods to increase efficiency and decrease mental load wastage. Explosive Synergy Matrix Method– Take your favorite constructed decks, remove the basic lands, and put them into a box together...

@Peter LaCara Arena Peter LaCara is very good at helping young cubers understand the concept of a power band. These days, he mostly builds awesome Arena Cubes.

Happy New Years fellow nerds. Hopefully I made the top posters list last year :p

Here is this year's Season of Cube podcast for people who want to give it a listen. I found this episode very intriguing! Cube Hit: The Coolest Cards were Synergy Cards Lion Sash Gala Greeters Raffine, Scheming Seer Urborg Lhurgoyf Third Path Iconoclast Ever since Modern Horizons 2 last year...

I heard someone say the question with Kaito is "how do I fit this into my creature decks" as opposed to "how do I make this good in my U/B decks." I don't necessarily know if that's also the problem you're referring to, but I thought it was a useful interpretation of this card. Personally I...

Hey Alvoi, thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you have had the opportunity to play the real Unstable Unicorns and have seen some of the similarities that I have identified between that game and Magic. I haven't made any changes since the last time I posted; I've just been testing the battle...

Help! I need a White two drop that is: —A mana sink —Common or Uncommon —Printed since 2013

I like these adventure designs (other than both sides sharing the same spelling of an English name, technically that's not allowed by the rules but these are customs so to hell with that), but I feel they are mostly overcosted for a Vintage Cube. The only two that I am confident are correctly...

They do literally write the short stories after the set is complete, so you could say the written version of the story is actually an afterthought :p. Basically, WOTC 1: Comes up with the story, 2: Makes the Cards, and 3: Writes the web fiction. This can lead to an interesting overall...

I would guess this was done on purpose because part of Magic Origins took place on Lorwyn, but a lot of Lorwyn-style art doesn't fit with the rest of the set. It looks like they re-painted a location on Lorwyn with an updated style.

So, I read Ishkanah, Grafwidow again for the first time in a couple of years... Ishkanah, Grafwidow This is just good in green midrange decks that can consistently enable delirium, right?

March of the Machine, this year's spring set.

The story change is probably the ability for non-Planeswalkers to travel between planes again like back in the pre-mending era. As for the gameplay change, my guess is it's either some new evergreen mechanic, a rules change for either Planeswalkers or Legendary Creatures, or a new set-specific...

This is cursed: The centered rules text looks nice, but this frame is not conducive to a centered name or type line, in my opinion.

It's odd you feel this way about Elspeth, I always thought she was one of the more compelling Planeswalkers. Her whole story is about dealing with childhood trauma and trying to find a home where she can be comfortable enough to do that. After being tortured by the Phyrexians as a child, she...

I agree this is also a good possibility assuming the mono-color theory is correct. The reason I lean Nahiri for Compleation is twofold: 1. We already have a Compleated character from Kamigawa (Tamiyo), so having another character from the same world get compleated basically right after the...

If you prioritize Old Border Foil over Old Border Nonfoil, the new Altar of Dementia and Mind Stone are the oldest Old Border Foil printing.

Looks like this was probably a promotional image designed to show off the oil slick foiling process that was posted too early. I believe this was originally posted by a WOTC account on a Chinese(?) social media site, so some foreign media person probably just posted the wrong cards. Here are...

I think Infect isn't worth revisiting in Standard, but I would like to see it in the inevitable Modern Horizons 3. Fatal Push getting printed and Gitaxian Probe getting banned did my boys dirty!

I agree that revisiting the Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero period of standard with a heavily non-singleton rebels deck is probably not a great Cube archetype. However, I think if some of the new Rebels we get over the coming set(s?) are good enough, their presence makes some of the older tutor rebels a...
