    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    Well, it can hit Prison Term. Activate in response to opponent casting a creature, attach to Nomad Mythmaker itself. Let creature resolve, triggers Prison Term, choose to move over.

    Min/Max Midrange Cube Experiment

    On this topic, I'm going to try Basalt Monolith in my cube, and my top ends are so bad I bet it's going to be unplayable.

    General Fight Club

    May I suggest this instead? Shambling Remains Rakdos is pretty deep, if you provide a cube list we may find something at the right power level and maybe archetype relevant.

    Is that the first appearance of each card in your cube? Did you count that by hand? Would be nice to share a script, if there is one, because I'm curious about my cube but not enough to look up 840 cards =)

    General Mana Sinks

    Did Centaur Glade work for you? It's the mother of all mana sinks, but I don't think anyone ever maindecked it here because 5 mana is so much for zero impact. I mentioned Cogwork Assembler because it did some work in Aether Revolt, but didn't actually consider it for cube. Is it usable in an...

    General Mana Sinks

    One thing I found to happen when an environment becomes slower is that players start passing their turn without using mana for the simple reason that they don't have anything to do. These cards from Aether Revolt have reminded me of a good way to fix this: Aegis Automaton Watchful Automaton...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Belfry Spirit Haunt is so weird I don't know if this should be in Low Power Card Spotlight, here, or GRBS Spotlight.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Drafted this with 3/4 of the 4-player simple module and the 1-player enchantments module. Went 3-0 on 2HG night. Playing 4 Mind Controls on the same game was amazing. Also, having 3 Hondens + Starfield of Nyx + Seal of Fire was absurd. I could turn the Opalescence mode on and off with Seal of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I suppose it depends on how token heavy your environment is. When mine had a bunch of army-in-a-can cards, I won a draft with it and felt bad. Might work out, if you avoid tokens, though.

    Basic Wilds Cube

    The most broken thing you can do is draw it and reuse Evolving Wilds to make sure you hit all your land drops, filter your whole deck, and you don't even need to draft Evolving Wilds. It would be totally fine, maybe on the weak side if not for that.

    Basic Wilds Cube

    The list looks super solid already. The only cards I'd consider too strong are: Mirror Entity Crucible of Worlds I didn't understand the Avian Changeling in the list. Are there any tribal synergies?

    To illustrate the original point, some sample boosters from my cube, always with a rare as the first card: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7t9qwnrt1zuxach/boosters.html?dl=0

    General Let's talk broad power band

    I think in a multiplayer cube, those "oppressive" cards are kept in check by the self-regulatory nature of the FFA game. Power level does not need to be balanced as carefully. I would, however, cut Skullclamp on the basis of making one's turns too long, though if people like it enough that...

    For a moment I thought you suggested using staples to keep the cards together and my heart skipped a beat.

    Oh man, it's Artifactshift. Completely missed at first that Yahenni's Expertise was for any spell, not just creatures. Looks absurd. Quicksmith Rebel is cool, though. Really like it.
