That's the problem Nanonox, I can't really think of a big overaching theme for Naya that isn't best realized as a smaller pair. I think Lands is probably the closest. But I'm not sure how to draw white into the theme, much less with the budget restrictions. No Loam, Crucible and the like puts...

First, I want to thank you guys for all the suggestions. I've been thinking about them and even doing some drafts. The problem is as follows: Spells, Graveyard and grinding value from ETBs are very broad themes. They can go in very different decks and be built in countless ways. But +1/+1...

While Aristocrats is a bit cliché and I already use it on my other cube the truth is that it would fit the cube very well. So it might be a good inclusion. Heroic is too similar to spells matter, so I'm not that attracted to it. So yeah, I need to see what can Naya do that fits the other colours.

Gather the Townsfolk makes humans and humans is a great, easy archetype to add to most cubes. I think it might be too high power for your cube so I would just take the Raise the Alarm instead.

Thank you! The issue with Naya being the Lands theme is that, well, that's the default theme for the colour isn't it? Something I've noticed, not just with this cube but my other one and Magic in general is that, well, themes are repeated a lot. There's not as much variety in Magic as one...

Hello, I'm Erik Twice and I should be writing. But I have a headache and I'm bored. While I wait for it to go away I've decided to draft another cube. One that is cheap and that I can actually build in real life with real cards. Let's say 20 cents per card is 20 cents too much. Since my cube...

I've seen Primal Might see play in Standard and it was much better than I thought it would be. Spending three mana to get rid of an utility creature and blast face is a surprisingly good tempo play. You need a deck that wants to smash face, though. The main advantage over Prey Upon is that you...

I just want to say that Terror of the Peaks Is a lot of fun. I wish it were a 4/5 so it could survive Wildfire because the ability and risking it getting blown up is interesting. Also, totally busted with Uro. Everything is busted with Uro.

I drafted Blackmsmithy's cube a bunch. Here are some thoughs I shared when he asked for advice for UR Spells. I'll divide it in "Core", cards that lead me into the archetype, and "Support", cards that will rank higher if I'm in it but that aren't part of the archetype per se. Blue: Pteramander...

I was bored and thought about making a low-power cube. But I don't want to repeat the same themes at a lower power. What are some cool archetypes that are not the usual spells matter, blink, aristocrats, artifacts, etc?

Sorry, what I meant to say is that there are many cards in your cube that have a lot of added complexity for very little gameplay gain. For example, the possibility of playing Temur Charger facedown or flipping it over to give another creature trample is so small that it's not meaningfully...

Really glad you had fun drafting it! I don't know what BDIF is but I haven't found UB Artifacts to be too common. Artifacts as a whole probably is a touch more common, but since it can take so many different forms (Wildfire, Reanimator, Midrange, etc.) it's rarely an issue. I also expect people...

I drafted your cube a couple times. Some thoughts: 1) I had difficulties with the art style. I had to check many cards to see which ones they were and what they did because I did not recognize the picture. Seeing Link does not make me think of Den Protector. Many of your alternate art styles...

You'll probably want to revise all your spells to add more 1cc spells. Just replacing a Volcanic Hammer with a Shock can help a lot. You don't need a huge number because a 2 mana creature that brings back any removal spell or cantrips is bound to be good. Don't forget about Reckless Rage!

You want cheap artifacts. These decks need early interaction and cannot afford to spend large quantities of mana not affecting the board. After all, in order to recur Witching Well you need 2U for Emry and then 3UU to draw two cards. That's such a massive investment that you'll lose the game...

What proxy-making website do you recommend to print out the cube? I'm getting things ready to print them soon. I have more cards in my collection than I thought, so I might save some paper :)

So, at a glance, I think my cube is finished. It can be improved, but there are no longer any cards below the treshold of playability. Sure, I can replace Paradise Druir with something a little more fitting (Werebear?), I might replace a creature with a white control card and so on. But I'm very...

Is Seasoned Hallowblade actually good? I wasn't sure if it was or just looked the part.

The CubeTutor AI is better. I should actually port all the changes so I can try with those bots. The CubeCobra one seems to have a very short "memory". If I don't draft an archetype or card in a couple passes the bots start to forget about it. So if I happen to draft a couple tempo decks I start...
