I like a lot the updates- some fun cards in there! I very much like the direction I see in the cards added. I've been trying to get my head around your cube for about a week after mulling about previous posts, and without having played with it a few times, I am unsure how much of this is...

I'm working on a set of simple images (with maybe a few sentences beyond headers as text) to aid drafters; thanks for the feedback! (Spiritcraft is definitely esoteric, and I would love to figure out what GW does well as a color pair...) My question now: what level of information should I...

Grillo: I *think* that the walker decks couldn't deal well w/ the tempo-driven decks. They often couldn't set up board states to protect their walker (or played them prematurely). When I played v the UR Jace, AoT deck, he was on the packpedal the whole game. I attacked through Jace's +1 and had...

I have gone through a few cubetutor drafts, and have some questions: How highly picked are the WWK manlands (ignoring Lavaclaw Reaches)? I tried them in an IPA-themed cube and found them to be drastically better than most cards that had the be cast. How often do Burning Vengeance decks come...

I tried Ponza in a heavily modified C/Ube (2x many meat-and-potatoes cards for each color-pair strategy), and the dedicated LD almost always ending up in SBs. (I don't think my Ice Storm has ever been cast ;[.) Deus, Avalanche Riders, Acidic Slime, and Ember Swallower regularly saw play in...

Draft 2 This 6-player pod featured only one unseasoned player (WG). I participated in it, and stupidly forgot to hand out my comment sheets (which I am sure enthused the two players that were drafting for a second time). I've included some general observations in the above post. My draft...

Draft 1: I sat out to watch a 6-player event. Disparity in drafting (and deck-building) skills really showed through: half of the decks were underpowered/messes (two due to Planeswalker tunnel vision and the last due to thematic tunnel vision). The Jund mess seems as though it could've easily...

Goblins were fun and effective in Vintage Masters, but... so many of the fun ones aren't Modern-legal! I guess that you are about at the "pick ideas and start" phase; when do we get to see a large brainstorm document? :)

Hello everyone! I figure this is the best place to discuss this project, as it isn't exactly a cube, but it puts to use a cube-builder's tool kit (and the community here seems earnest and invested). Based loosely on the set design of Modern and Vintage Masters (color-pair archetypes and...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have lurked a bit, and your post's inspiration was enough to throw up a reply. I may have to work on my own version of this from your blueprint; it seems *so fun*!! I tried a wall subtheme in one of my earliest archetype cubes; players hated it! It was among all 5...

Currently mired in fantasy set design:

Also, since I forgot to ask: what are your coworker's favorite Limited strategies?

Hello Eric! I have been working on color-pair- archetype cubes geared toward the "Limited experience" (albeit, not restricted to Modern-legal cards or singletons) since MMA blew my mind, and here are some ideas that you might find useful: RG +1/+1 counter synergies. (I have this as a UG color...
