I know that the smol packs are like that because the set itself doesn't have any commons (though, confusingly, the starter decks do), but it has lead to something that I find hilarious: Templar Knight This card isn't very good - outside of EDH it's going to a french vanilla 3/1 for {1}{W} -...

I'm surprised that they got this one past their legal department.

I've mostly been approaching this as building a 150-card cube that just so happens to have a weird extra card in the BLB - after all, having ~7 copies of a card in your pool might as well be infinite as far as deck building is concerned. EDIT: Some extra design thoughts, for people who want to...

OK, I think I've narrowed it down to one of... Thraben Inspector Deduce Hieroglyphic Illumination Reach Through Mists Voldaren Epicure Thoughts? EDIT: Oh, or... Simian Spirit Guide

Some Egg Thoughts: 30 cards is a lot in an 180 card cube. If you assume 4 players, that's 7-8 copies each. On the one hand, that means that The high density means that you can throw whatever niche synergies you want into the cube, since that's 100% enough copies for those synergies to show up...

Lifegain would be fantastic in that format. Alternate suggestion if you want to play around with Free Spells What You Can't Cast Normally: Fury of the Horde.

Same (I was the... 28th? like), but at this point I want to see a guy eat a rhino. Good thing we don't have to listen to WotC's lawyers! Fat Ass

The thing is that the cubecobra link for Brad's cube is dead, and it'd be a pain to rebuild the list from the vid.

How awful would a cube with 30 Lore Seekers be, in terms of the drafting process? Asking for a friend. (In all seriousness, my brain is screaming at me that I should use one of the Conspiracy "draft matters" cards as my egg. Lore Seeker wouldn't be on the table, if only because I think that...

Hmm... The real question: go easy mode and pick a land or a colorless card, or go hard mode and just, I dunno, make the entire green section 30 Gladewalker Ritualists? EDIT: There's also the option of just throwing caution to the wind and making it 30 copies of Curse of Silence or something...

If your goal is to let everyone have MV 2 ramp, stick to that for green... but make sure that green ramp spells do other stuff. Lean more towards stuff like Poison Dart Frog than Nature's Lore.

Oath's one of those cards that makes people go "oh man, I can do degenerate combo shit with this thing!" If your cube doesn't allow for degenerate shenanigans, then I'd skip Oath of Druids.

Some other designs you missed that Might Be Cool: Inspired Inventor Aether Swooper Era of Innovation Roil Cartographer Cthonian Nightmare Gonti's Machinations Reiterating Bolt Architect of the Untamed Emissary of Soulfire Electrostatic Pummeler And if you do make Energy.cube, bear in mind that...

It's an intersting build-around for a 2-3-7 cube, is the thing. You're not going to want it unless you suddenly decide to have an MV limitation and a pressing need to have extra stuff to spend mana on.

They brought back Devoid because something like Devoid is pretty much necessary if you're going to have a draft environment where "colorless matters" is a draft theme and don't want to rebuild your heuristics from scratch.

Gravedig Party Thrasher Idol of False Gods Some neat two drops. I *really* like the idea of Idol of False Gods as a buildaround.

That ability would need a may... unless you want it to be a trivial source of infinite loops.

Well, that's easy enough to fix! You just need a little bit of sharpie, and... Did I say a little? I meant a lot.

My one issue with the card is that the Landfall trigger is worded in a way that's almost certain to cause misplays.

It's OK, we make Cubes.
