    General What are the hallmarks of a "riptide-style" cube to you?

    I'm relatively new to this forum, but here's my take: Riptide designers take one look at Dragon's Rage Channeler and yell "PEAK!"

    General [Almost Daily] Every Set in Magic, Cube Edition

    Journey to Eternity I loved the transforming destination lands from this set, and I think Journey to Eternity is my favorite. I also run Storm the Vault and Golden Guardian, which are both sweet in artifacts-matter environments.

    Sets [FIN] [UB] Final Fantasy

    I love Summons so much, and they would be so cool in my cube, which supports Enchantments and Delirium. Might have to make some in-universe customs for these because they're cool as hell.

    Wreck and Rebuild An absolutely sweet, highly flexible effect gets the Universes Within treatment! This card is very awesome in my Welder's Workshop cube, where there is always a valuable artifact to destroy, and it's also often advisable to mill yourself for five while you ramp. Plus: playable...

    I also have a custom Waterfront Bouncer, just because I wanted a paper version with a modern frame. Changed the name and typeline for my own amusement. Get it? Because frogs bounce!

    General [Contest] A Good Omen!

    I'm always using CardConjurer if I'm designing a one-off card. I don't think they have Omen frames yet, but the Adventure frame looks fine to me. I kind of wish Omen frames had a little bit of reptilian flair to them, so they'd stand out a bit better.

    General [Contest] A Good Omen!

    I like to to imagine red cards that let you retrieve things from exile. I'd really love to have a way to recover the cards that I "impulse draw" but can't play right away. It's a recurring theme in my custom designs, and I also really, REALLY want Junk tokens in mainline Magic.

    General [Contest] 30+ Eggs in one Basket

    Last year, I participated in this contest with my Maelstrom Mania cube, featuring 30 copies of Invasion of Alara. It was my belief that most contestants would choose sensible, low-curve cards with an eye toward elegance in gameplay, and I decided to do the opposite, largely as a joke (but also...

    Volcano Manor (Desert Bar Cube)

    Obsidian Charmaw Edit: I should have been more detailed in my response, but I suddenly had to leave my computer wanted to shout "Obsidian Charmaw" before vanishing. I love this cube! What a cool idea. This one and Pulp Nouveau have really got me worked up to build a flavor-forward cube of my own.

    Sets (TDM & TDC) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Testing/Includes Thread!

    This set absolutely rules, and I think I'm especially drawn to it because it's a straight up zero-irony magical-fantasy collection of cards, and a real return to form for Magic worldbuilding. We're here to explore the land of Tarkir, interact with its peoples and cultures, and learn new magic...

    Lotuslight Dancers Mardu Siegebreaker These two cards are going to make me find space for some 3-color cards in my Welder cube. Just totally sweet effects. Also: Phantom Steed Is this effect just completely outside the confines of the color pie? I feel like I'd believe this on almost any...

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    I like so many cards from this set that I'm debating just using about 50 cards from Dragonstorm as a base for a whole new cube. But I'm not ready to commit to that idea yet. Really trying to figure out if I can run Omens and Adventures in the same cube. Is it possible to do it as long as there...

    Sometimes the art is so good, you have to add a whole new archetype to the cube.

    Abzan Monument Jeskai Monument Mardu Monument Sultai Monument Temur Monument This cycle is going to replace the Savai Crystal and friends cycle in my cube for sure. They're a lot wordier, but I like their mana cost, the way they support Domain, and their cool, on-flavor token generation. Plus...

    AWESOME. I just finished adding a dedicated WUBRG module to my cube, and this is an extremely cool upgrade for Courier's Briefcase that makes the whole deck work better. It also has the advantage of being a sweet bejeweled dragon skull instead of a lame briefcase.

    I was just about to post this thing! Talk about a great tool for Aristocrats. Hope your Blood Artist is hungry! In my cube, this also plays well with the "Mana Value 3 or less" reanimator cards, which share colors with all my aristocrats cards. These honest, hardworking oxen are likely to...

    I suppose it could be a problem if a player went really deep on shuffle effects, but it seems like something people are doing pretty often anyway. My Peasant cube runs the MH3 landscapes, a cycle of basic landcycling spells, and a cycle of typed landcycling spells already. Plus Terramorphic...

    Sets (TDM) Tarkir: Dragonstorm Previews!

    A flawless card for my multicolor Peasant cube. Hopefully there'll be a sufficient density of Omens for me to include, because I already run a lot of Adventures, and I think I'll need at least 3 or 4 Omens to make the distinction clear. I can see these getting misplayed a lot if they're run...
