    General 180-card "Twobert"

    Thank you! Yeah all of these seem interesting, I think I'll try some of them, but it feels strange to own a 360-card cube if I never draft it with 8 players Oh well, me neither I didn't consider the idea of cutting some colors, now I'm really interested! If I build a 2-coloured cube, I can...

    Is something like Brood Butcher too powerful?

    General 180-card "Twobert"

    Good morning everyone, I hope I'm doing it right since it's the first time I post a new topic in this section, so... anyway. I searched for this topic but I didn't find anything, and I wanted to see your opinion about it. I've read in the past few days some articles by Ryan Overturf...

    Sets (MH2) Modern Horizons 2 Testing/Includes Thread

    I think it depends on the power level of your cube... if you play cards like Snapcaster Mage, Dark Confidant, Vendilion Clique, Young Pyromancer, Arcane Savant, Eternal Witness and so on, probably it could be an interesting high-risk high-reward card. I don't think there are enough reasons to...

    General Actual contest: Design a 360 card cube with 100 unique cards

    This is my bad submission: https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/alvoi-zoo The idea comes from: less unique cards implies more chances for archetypes that need a significant volume of cards of the same type. I love aggressive decks so my thought went to an aggro cube. Then I thought of putting a...

    Sets (AFR) Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Previews- Dripping with Flavor, and Excess Words!

    So, Legendary would become just a flavour thing and not a mechanical aspect (besides some Karakas things)? And Mirror Gallery would become a five mana Darksteel Relic without indestructible?

    Alvoi's Cube

    Thank you! You're right, at the moment the cube is just some union of collections of cards, I need to find some more glue between the archetypes. Varolz and the scavenge cards are good ideas, I forgot about that mechanic but feels good with the dredge archetype. I think we can find some counter...

    Alvoi's Cube

    https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/alvoi-mma This is a 500 card list, for now. There are four cards missing but they are MH2 commons, I will add them when they’re available. So, now I’m not sure about what I want to do, if it’s better to cut some cards and have a smaller cube, or to add some cards...

    Alvoi's Cube

    So, now I'm missing only Urw Arcane, BG Dredge and WUbr Affinity. Let's see if I can build something, and afterwards I can begin looking for all the cross-pollination we need (when cubecobra will be back up):

    Alvoi's Cube

    Well, here I am again, this time I'm thinking about the storm/suspend theme. In original MMA it was in RG but with some suspend cards in blue, too. I'm thinking maybe I could add some of the zero-mana suspend cards and As Foretold, as a little synergy... for the storm part, I don't want a storm...

    General What is "higher power level"?

    This is an interesting question. The fact is that there is no absolute scale, and probably the most powerful cube is this. You could make an argument for "cube X is more powered than cube Y if the average deck of cube X beats, on average, the average deck of cube Y". But then, it's not exactly...

    Alvoi's Cube

    Wow, thank you all! First of all, I think I was unclear, but in this topic I'm discussing two cubes. So, in my main "powermax" cube there was that fixing problem that I talked about, while in my secondary cube (the Modern Masters one) there isn't. This said, I'm now answering to all your...

    Alvoi's Cube

    Today is Thallid day! Now the non-tribal archetypes begin, so they will be more difficult. Thallids is almost a tribal archetype, but it's "double tribal" since there are Funguses (Fungi?) and Saprolings. Something like Sporecrown Thallid is good for both tribes. In the original MMA there was...

    Alvoi's Cube

    First of all, I added some spoiler tags to my posts so it doesn't have to load every card image each time somebody enters this topic :D Now, I was thinking about the last tribal theme, the Rebels. I know there was a deck that Kai Budde a pro tour with, but I don't think it is too powerful by...

    Alvoi's Cube

    Perfect! Thank you! This is a good question, I think mainly the colours I want the giants are red and white, but there are some great Giants in blue since Kaldheim... the three I chose before, than also Thryx, the Sudden Storm and Giant's Grasp. Moreover, while there aren't really great RW...

    Alvoi's Cube

    I hope that it's not forbidden by some rules, to do too many consecutive posts, but I think it's useful for me and I hope maybe also even for somebody else if I write here my design process, instead of putting down a full list without explanation. I'm trying to do it really slow, because I can...

    Alvoi's Cube

    So, okay, here I am! I'm a student in mathematics so I love doing the count also, to have some kind of structure other than my gut. So following japahn's advice I'll start from the tribal archetypes. First of all, we need to put the glue that helps the tribal archetypes. Since black has 3.5...
