Day 1: INFERNO TITAN Vote here and leave your comments below: https://www.surveylegend.com/s/53hr (I couldn't get it to embed in here, if anyone knows if these forums support inserting an iframe, please lemme know how to it because it should be easy and I've done it before but have had no...

I try to make the best Cube experience possible for my playgroup, but since the curation of any Cube involves making over five dozen decisions even on days where the Cube in question is not being played/actively updated, that means that I have to go with my own preferences/gut decision over...

You mean these? Mirkwood ElkTitan of Littjara They're ok I guess. Something like 25% of my creatures in green are elves, plus a few notable gold cards, so I can imagine a scenario where the Elk actually has a better ACS than Prime Time, which is super impressive for an Elk. Would kill for more...

agree, would love a tardis frame cantrip because I will refuse to use it for anything that's not a blue card why do they keep making frames/styles that are so hard to grok the underlying color of the card?

It's not bad either! You don't have to exile your own stuff, but you can if you want extra ETBs. Paying 6 mana and waiting two turns for an Avacyn is really not that bad of a deal, Academy Rector can grab it, and it "protects" you while you wait for your angel to hatch by pulling their best...

This set's not for me so far, but that's ok. Excited for the small hit of new cards we're getting next week (one deck spoiled per day starting Tuesday). Do people here like the etched foil format? I've occasionally liked the white-text promos/alternative frames (especially the Planar Chaos...

Cube Survey Responses are out!!! LTR Review LTC Review Want to shout out the great work @landofMordor always does with these articles, and loved the pod episode as always! No real surprises here, but the ways the responses are so different than the strongly wtwlf-biased early rankings from my...

Excuse me, my Cube nights are a Free Speech ZoneTM. (But no, it's never happened before.)

This thread is incredibly relevant to my interests, as I've long tried to support tokens-matter in Jund, starting with these two bad boys in the early days of my Cube history: OphiomancerPurphoros, God of the Forge Such a sick mid-to-low-power "combo" with a sac outlet! Of course, long-time...

Some Cube content finally -- the Most Cubed Card of Each Year! I don't think this is particularly illuminating to Cube community folks like ourselves, but the data I pulled for this already has some cool insights I'm excited to share with y'all in future weeks.

In a lower-powered cube, a 3MV gold card is going to be halfway to a turn 4 play on average unless your drafters focus on fixing. Even at low power levels, paying 4 mana for "draw an extra card every turn" is strong but rarely oppressive. For context, even my reject cube, a purposely de-powered...

Time for Cube Cobra's Most Cubed Cards of the New Set During Release Weekend, a statistically useless but practical and fun way to explore some level of meta-trends! Caveats: 1. Cards spoiled early are always over-represented, as they're on Cube Cobra for much longer. 2. There are many types...

I've been procrastinating on finishing my big essay about my basic land box for nearly a year now, but since I do want to share it, I'm going to just do so and briefly spell out my philosophy: My Land Box (CubeCobra) Goals: 1. Maintain the spirit of my cube experience with the basic lands...

Welcome to the forums, my friend! I already like your style quite a bit! It's really rough. On one hand, Cube is an excellent place to centralise your collection, your favorites, and the rich history of Magic: the Gathering. On the other, we're already at the point where many cards look like...

I also won my pre-release, something I found very strange considering I was on very little sleep from having travelled the entire day prior. I've been away on vacation! Back now, will be sharing more thoughts as well.

Preliminary thoughts so far: Flowering of the White Tree in for Starnheim Unleashed Super sweet anthem that both supports my legendary-matters sub-theme (that has a strong core in white aggressive strategies) and token strategies (to a much lesser effect). Starnheim Unleashed is one of two...

I get where you're coming from, but I think it's a poor mechanic even on the "external card" standard. I still run plenty of stupid mechanics and cards that invite memory issues or have too many complex bobbles to track -- including the new Praetors that flip into sagas, a card type I've had...

Fool of a Took indeed! I wasn't interested (for cube, at least) until I realized that this counters 69% of my creatures for one mana...that's really not that bad.

It does, so it's great against things like Ophiomancer, Porcelain Legionnaire, or even getting death triggers from a Wurmcoil Engine in the right context, so there is potential there for sure. It helps you overcome some of the most annoying bricks on your opponents' side. But my cube has much...

Seems interesting. Not sure there's enough value in it, but conceptually it lets aggro decks get around some of the most obnoxious midrange bricks.
