    General Current Cube Obstacles

    This is a really good point. I've been trying to avoid traps for sure. I'll have to comb back through the list and look for traps. I can definitely get caught up in the Johnny mindset of adding a lot of synergy cards that don't quite get there. Yeah, I've cut back a bit. I think I may cut back...

    General Current Cube Obstacles

    Yeah, I feel that for sure. Part of my worry is that I made my cube too complex. So I have a number of people who have played buy few return customers.

    General Current Cube Obstacles

    Oh dang. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, they play amazingly well. I've been so impressed with them. And I like running a full cycle instead of jamming half a cycle of signers.

    General Current Cube Obstacles

    I was curious what people's current problems to be solved are in your individual cubes. For me I'm currently looking at these things: 1. How do I manage the excitement of the custom cards I'm using with the need to introduce new players to my play group. 2. How much protection should White...

    Yeah, that makes sense. I just never read any of the other mites, honestly.

    Wow, Today I Learned that Skrelv can't block. I've been playing with that card since before the set properly released.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    It sounds like this would work: if X = 5 then look at the top 5. Then put one in your hand and the rest in your graveyard. Edit: Forgot that Ravenous triggers a draw. So it may need to worded differently but that's the general idea.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I was initially against it because it loses a lot of the flexibility and power of Smokestack (i.e. Setting it to the exact number of permanents you can handle each turn). I'm kind of liking the bomb-ticking-up feel of the card. I'm not sure this iteration gets there for me on a power level but...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I love this design. Any chance I could steal the art from you? I'd love to have a version that hits lands for my cube because I'm a monster. Also wondering if the Doom Engine should go off if it gets destroyed? Instead of just sacrificed. Seems like destroying a bomb would make it go off (not...

    @Chris Taylor You may be interested one of my cards. The Cleaning Robot design I posted a while back. Does something similar to Clockspinning and has "buyback" because it's a permanent. Has been working well cards like The One Ring, Vanishing, Planeswalkers, etc. Can adjust to your powerlevel.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Some really great designs here. I'd echo what @Onderzeeboo said. A couple of these look really ridiculously strong (Passion of Tarkir, which I know has its roots in Red Elemental Blast etc. but that feels like a time way past for me.). But overall some cool designs. Definitely going to steal...

    How were you making your printouts before? The template from reddit is gone. Yours look really good so I was hoping to piggyback on that a bit, haha.

    Article Sink or Swim: Making Cube Approachable

    Okay, so read this a while back and really took these suggestions to heart. I wanted to share some updates for custom cards/updated cards I've added to the cube. 1. Is getting all the frames the same because I use proxies. The artifacts and colourless cards are all properly brown now (and...

    General Why the hell are you cubing anyways?

    I love the way you put this. It feels the same for me. I know a number of other curators have expressed the same sentiment.

    General Why the hell are you cubing anyways?

    Dang, I feel like this post really hit me as I moved a couple of years ago and haven't really got a play group right now. The context which I play the cube is like drafting through CubeCobra and then playing some games sometimes with an old buddy from my previous group. I have a weekly-ish...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Yeah, I think it depends on what you're using it with. I've been testing it at paying (2) and getting a ton of incremental value on planeswalkers, Parallax Wave, Intrepid Adversary, etc. So I think 1/2 may be perfect depending how much you have to pay. I think the 3-2-1 has a lot of aesthetic...

    Fair, I definitely feel that it's probably a personal preference at that point then, haha. Whatever works easiest for the group.
