How can storing a name be computationally/memory wise be difficult? The deck is stored anyhow. Storing a name with it is not that much more memory. I am not talking about searching deck names, that can be quite a big database if desired.

Both are good cards even when drawn later. Thousand can be a blowout since it makes a copy of another attacking creature and the copy is not even blocked! Thousand also has the agency of playing it early or sandbagging it. Sailor is just play it. My vote for the thousand face. But both is also...

Some of your ideas are spot on, others are way off. Most mtg sets are made to be drafted and for sealed. What you see is in those sets is the following: * not many different “abilities”. They focus on 2 a 3. * the abilities work without payoff cards and a payoff card works since there are...

That also puts the removed creatures back into the opponents deck….

Thank you. I just read it. It seems great, not rules complex, but very play complex with maybe a tad keyword soup. Maybe best to play it sober/not tired? I am on the fence to kick it or not.

I guess counter steal/wrath control decks… The counters are 1 for 1 but stealing/wrathing is one for many. Most of the times a control deck runs out of cards by answering and the finisher is expensive and there are only a few in the deck. Those decks are quite a puzzle to play with and against...

One of the two is a combo piece. The other a true finisher. Tapping all creatures of the opponent is really strong.

The og, read nuclear war prisoners dilemma is solved. I was always referring to that one, that’s why I explicitly stated the original problem with its rules. By making it iterative you change the rules and hence a different solution is likely better. Giving two different problems the same name...

I concur. Most ridiculous combo enablers are not that great when the other combo part is not available. E.g., Yawgmoth’s will and Time Spiral are not breaking a low powered non-combo cube (although they are breaking the bank). A word of warning. Wheel effects can give your opponents just what...

You could use dry erase token/blanco cards to write the name. Or you go the way Chris proposes. Just use different sleeves and you can use that card. It also prevents getting doubles. But it is a lot of work.

That’s where a computer can help…

That’s why it is useful to pull cards from the cube. Only if you need to adjust the powerlevel, then a special pack is needed. Sad that there is no option in cubecobra to draw a random card from your cube (with a filter on eg creatures).

You still have to be able to spend that 4 mana on that turn. Same with gilded lotus. this is not impossible, but often unlikely since most often you have used the cheap spells already. That said throne is a great card in a draw go shell. There you can use the mana immediately and the draw is...

Throne is a five mana do noting it comes into play card since likely you already played your cheaper cards. Therefore, you have to have a cube where you can durdle on the 5 mana spot which implies a quite low powered cube to make it work. I like it when one can durdle, but ask yourself. Can...

Since when is a combat trick a sorcery?

It definitely is on par with the scarab god due to costing 2 mana less, do something at the end of your turn as opposed to your upkeep, and having a higher floor. The main goal is to get the opponent to 0 life (yes, fringe strategies win in another way). You use cards to do damage. You scry 2...

The problem with death’s duet variants is that, yes it nets you a card, but often it is lacklustre (coming from a low power cube owner). Reanimate for 4 is fair. It requires quite the setup. The problem arises when one plays the, quite nice, namesake with the first turn looting. Maybe it is not...

diabolic servitude is a really strong card that is also quite fun to play with.

No, by making multicoloured spells abundant in the cube and add counterplay like this artifact. I abhor 3/1 for 2 with upside, but that is my flaw. Still, counterplay is the basis of magic.

Thank you for the recommendation! I will look at it
