    General Context Matters

    If I have Disk, Masticore, and Sword of Feast and Famine in my counterpost style deck, having tinker to turn my manarock into the right one for the situation is hugely rewarding. Tinkering a depleted Tangle Wire, Serrated Arrows or Sphere of Suns into basically anything is pretty awesome...

    General Context Matters

    Auras are extremely context sensitive. Empyrial Armor is the best card in MVW draft, but is generally not cubed. This is because MVW has sparse removal, while cube has lots of removal and most of it is cheap, instant and non-situational. Auras can actually become extremely powerful if you...

    General Cube Comprises

    I almost always play with 4. Literally once a year I get more then that. Anyway, I can live with not being creative. I mean, if I wanted to be creative I probably would be making my own game instead of working on a variant of a variant of an established game. I do agree that all this work...

    General Cube Comprises

    As I was working on my Sligh Curve Cube idea, I noticed a problem that I knew going to happen. Indeed, it was pretty obvious as its a design problem in basically any cube, but the extremely low mana curve of the Sligh Curve just made it super-extra blatant. In order to get a good curve, you...

    Why did no one tell me chord of calling was worth money? I have one and, being its pretty terrible, I assumed it was a dollar rare!

    Clockspinning is an excellent suggestion. The Slight Curve Cube needs more blue one drops. Not that clockspinning is a blue one drop at any level other then the purely conceptual one. Are there any cube usable one or two drops that etb with +1/+1 counters? Seething Anger and Elvish Fury...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Also I like both wheel and twister in cube. Everyone gets free cards, inspiring tons of immediate and furious interaction. Much more interesting then Vortex, Winter Orb, et al for giving aggro decks more "punch".

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yawgmoth's Will is a pretty fair card in non-combo cube. Generally it lets you get back a land, a two mana spell or two one mana spells for 5 mana or a little more for 6. Obviously the best case scenario gets pretty impressive, but usually it plays as a very convoluted...

    No doubt! I had no idea this was going to be front paged, if I had I would have probably tried to be more thorough. Although, if I had tried to be more thorough, I probably would have never finished it, so it would never have been on the front page! As it is, it really needs a conclusion, it...
