I would pick Fire Covenant. Looking at your list there are a lot of creatures with power 2 or less, making it fairly cheap in terms of life cost for an instant speed, one-sided wrath. The only mark against it is that it is the only true gold card in the pack. I wonder if it might be too good for...

The trouble with Provoke is that you can't use it reliably to kill creatures with tap abilities. They can just tap down again before the declare blockers step and become safe.

I like the idea of pushing the power level of these cards. Cogwork Librarian is a card that I enjoy in draft, but is never going to make your deck, hence its only value is to be able to pick two cards. But what if were something not only playable but powerful? That could be a delightful tension...

Hyperbole aside, what is your objection to the arena cube? It appears to me to just be a mess of "good cards", but that is where a lot of our cubes started and were still a lot of fun. Personally I miss the social interaction, and prefer games to be played out within pods, as it feels that...

I have two thoughts about Bloomburrow. The first is the wording for gifts, which are promised not given. Maybe I’m just a duplicitous bastard, but why can’t I break my promise? The second is that it feels odd to have threshold back as a main-set mechanic after all these years. In Odyssey block...

Emrakul has 14 tentacles. This means that she can defend against all but one of the squirrels, who fatally gnaws on her brain.

I would play these cubes. But not with TrainmasterGT who would just eat the cards.

I played the renaissance Italy one and the pirate one. Quite fun to parkour around Venice and sail around the Caribbean. I liked the jumping and climbing puzzles, but agree that the fighting was a bit tedious. The main story was quite engaging, but the framing device was silly.

Marionette Apprentice and Emperor of Bones?

Have none of you read the title of this thread? It's 30+ eggs in one basket. Not marvels, or vistas, or cities, or wands. Eggs. biolume egg is my ovum of choice. Scry payoff, top of the library manipulation, defender tribal, sacrifice, land recursion: so much going on. Plus it's a double...

I too voted for you. As a firm believer that democracy is a responsibility as well as a right, I carried out my due diligence and perused your cube description on Cube Cobra. Imagine my surprise to read that you had compared your cube to the Talyllyn Railway in Gwynedd, my favourite narrow...

Thank you for taking the time to run this competition, Onderzeeboot, and well done to all the participants. I agree that empowered is a worthy winner, and am surprised to find that it exists on only two cards. Although Gruul colours are represented by these examples, it is white that is the...

Mrs Dumpty asked me why I started laughing. I tried to explain but she is not a magic player, so now she thinks I am even sillier than usual.

Why stick to creatures? cloudstone CurioTatyova, Benthic Druidfastbond gives infinite mana and card draw. This sort of nonsense probably needs a cube like Caleb Ganon's Powered Synergy Cube.

GU could be Mutant. The type is found in all colours of ONS creature, but I tend to think of mutants as Simic. GW could be cats? There isn’t much creature type overlap in ONS between G and W. Druids sometimes occur in white, but not in ONS. What about taking a race/class approach?

I was trying to find my Revised dual lands but it turns out they’ve all got kids and mortgages.

Your enthusiasm for Saddle is palpable, but none of the Mount creatures are a good fit for my cube. When they finally print the type line Creature — Dragon Mount… that I will find hard to resist.

Thanks for the heads up. It looks interesting and I may give it a try. Is the ‘stale’ worry that there are only 290 cards, that it is artifact focused to the exclusion of other themes, or something else? Also, if you were to do something like this, how would it differ from Cube? Would you...

Funny how this discussion of blocks comes up during spoiler season for OTJ, which I still read as Odyssey-Judgment-Torment. I feel there is a tension between story and gameplay when comparing the old block structure with modern single set approch. The former should lend itself to classic three...

The demon and angel demonstrate some of the common problems with AI art. At first glance they look pretty cool, but closer inspection reveals a plethora of problems. The demon’s wings seem oddly small; one hand has four digits, the other has six. The angel has only one leg, a strange shaped...
