The sleeves I use are pretty hefty/thick (Dragon Shield mattes), even compared to magic card thickness. The sleeve plastic creates a sloped bump down from the top of the bump that makes it slightly less noticeable. The most important thing, though, is that the bumps are small and are in corners...

I like to cut out mana cost and P/T boxes from cards that have the new desired stats and use double sided tape to attach. They appear almost perfectly normal aside from a slight bump that can be felt in the sleeve if one looks for it. Whenever I make a new one (currently not running any) I show...

I have been eyeing Squirrel Wrangler myself, but I'm not totally sure it's strong enough for your cube. Compared to Goblin trenches, which is a fairly solid card but not overwhelmingly strong, you pay one more mana to get the effect on a 2/2 body and have the option to team pump, though the...

I think most of the time, the colorless hasty 1/1 that one wants is Gingerbrute, because of the evasion, easier grokkability, and the ability to hold buffs. It's also an artifact which may be useful. I just see it encouraging more synergy. The important thing to remember for the Conspiracies is...

I think I prefer the aggressive bent of Judith and only triggering on your own creatures dying. Whenever any player sacrifices any permanent is a little too broad to feel like a unique payoff. Mayhem Devil is good when your opponent is playing a deck running lots of Chromatic Stars and Welder...

I'd argue that you can throw almost any effect on a {1} cycler and have it be a great card in draft, especially in a cube where cycling, discard, and general graveyard payoffs are everywhere. Draftsim's Ikoria pick order puts Vantasaur over cards like Pyroceratops, Excavation Mole, and even...

If any of your cycling decks are more midrange-y, I would go with Vantasaur. None of these cards are astoundingly strong. So, for the same reason that artifacts need to be weaker than the average colored card, flexibility is most important when deciding between these three. Vantasuar in some...

I was looking through your list and noticed that Vesperlark+Felidar Guardian goes infinite with a sac outlet. Has anyone made infinite mana or perfect deck arrangement a reality yet? Looks like any immediate kills with this setup would require 4 cards from your cube, so I doubt it would come...

Even my brother, with plenty of experience in card games, board games, you name it, has trouble with self-mill. I think it has to do with the uncertainty of it. Discard is easier because you know what you're "giving up", but self-mill as a feature in of itself doesn't seem to attract many...

Doesn't that just remove an interesting sequencing decision?

Sort of a necro, but Ashiok is absolutely brutal. I've lost many a game of WAR limited to a lone Ashiok without a single other mill card in villain's deck. I think it's busted in similarly slow environments.

Spitting Image is very good. I cut it when every midrange green deck started to run Spitting Image + Growing Ranks, which is a very uninteractive engine, in terms of it's pieces involving a hard-to-remove enchantment and a sorcery that one can cast every turn, and basically spelled doom in...

https://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/149052 This is my Unstable cube, which I cobbled together from cards I had on hand. It's been fun as a "holiday" cube to bring out every once in a while, and replayability has been decent so far. Red and blue have proved noticeably stronger than the...

A cultural juggernaut, as Marvel, Disney, and others have proven, is bolstered by the strategic fusion of corporate universes and associations. When you connect a franchise with another, you suddenly meld the interest of millions of people, creating a product that pushes the boundaries of each...

Well, these are few and far between, but every once in a while a stall deck that focuses entirely on healing and energy removal cards, or a lock deck that runs only 4 special energy develops into something playable. These decks can be the most challenging to pilot or play against, because they...

It really depends on your definition of variant. My gut reaction is that Pokemon is definitely a stretch.... The mana system is the root of Magic and Hearthstone, whereas there is no casting cost on any Pokemon card. On turn one, some Pokemon decks can sling dozens of cards and eat through their...

Welcome to the Fold Decent if you have a Ux Discard theme with a controllish bent, though I still prefer Lay Claim for this purpose.

Oh man, Kadena's Silencer is perfect. Practically every creature in my cube has some kind of ability, as well as the Deserts. Sacrificing a land and paying a ton of mana for Ifnir Deadlands to try and kill a morph, and then that morph suddenly flipping and countering that ability, would be such...
