    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You can target a tapped creature with Network Disruptor, it's a legal target for the ability, but it doesn't tap the creature if you do.

    General (CLB) Magic: The Gathering: Commander Legends: Dungeons and Dragons: Battle for Baldur's Gate Previews. Even the NAME is long this time!

    Armix, Filigree Thrasher and Krark, the Thumbless are I think the most common cube considerations from commander legends for riptide-esque cubes. I have Juri of the Revue in my RB section as a sort of equipment/+1 counter/sacrifice role-player, but outside of Hullbreacher as probably the most...

    As someone with a framed Topplegeist on their wall I support this endeavor.

    General [Lucky Paper] Cube Power Level: A Users' Guide

    It's a theoretical upside, but I don't know how real it is in practice. As a curator of a lower powel level, I have a theoretical larger selection of cards that fit in my power band, I also don't make as strict requirements for the power level of my inclusions, which is a level of analysis I...

    General [Lucky Paper] Cube Power Level: A Users' Guide

    The point is that if you don't want to change your cube all that often, you can just elect not to do it. Being forced into it out of necessity doesn't provide you any benefit, it just removes the option to do otherwise.

    General [Lucky Paper] Cube Power Level: A Users' Guide

    I'm pretty sure the pyramid is a rhombus, making a cube at the nadir of power level also gives you a very narrow set of cards to play with. Both extremes rely on power outliers. Some of the advantages presented for higher power don't make a lot of sense to me. You can model it after competitive...

    The Greater Aurora

    Recruit is a mechanic I have been thinking about for a good while now. Name needs some refinement, but it's largely copy-pasted from the Eternal market mechanic. In draft, it does a few things that intrigue me. It increases the relevance of all your picks as your sideboard becomes much more...

    The Greater Aurora

    I wanted to explore this at least a little. Part of my struggle with the day/night cards was coming up with cards that were desirable enough to play in decks where you couldn't rely on it being a core part of your strategy, and on creatures you use a lot of the word and complexity budget by...

    The Greater Aurora

    I am becoming disillusioned with Day/Night as a mechanic and considering if I should focus on just making Shadowmoor/Eventide. My main cube already tries to play into the game-sequencing aspect of magic to the extent that wotc lets me, so it's possible I should just forget it here so I could...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    It's just as fast as Pentad Prism unless you need both counters on the turn you play it, which happens pretty rarely. I think the original card is reasonably powerful, but not in a way that can be taken advantage of in most cubes.

    blame companies, not consumers Student certainly has a lot better of a floor than Shadow. I'm trying out Shadow primarily because I wanted more blue 1-drops and you can get it with Ranger of Eos.

    The Greater Aurora

    Probably going to be a case by case basis. For now I'm partially just being lazy, but I want to retain as much of the flavor of the set as I can, so if I can get away with doing so I'll probably do so.

    The Greater Aurora

    Brainstorming some tribal cards. The rarity on these is largely arbitrary, but depending on the structure the rares will go on occasionals and commons for cards that are always in the pool. Doing this has me wondering if its possible to enable more spell-heavy decks with minor tribal themes...

    The Greater Aurora

    So for a while now I've been thinking about making a cube entirely out of custom cards. YmtC is a hobby that has occupied my life for 14 years now, and I'd like to translate it into something tangible. Very recently I got the idea, somewhat inspired by a post I saw, to make a cube using the...

    Seems like a card that could be good, but I'd rather it be bad.

    General (SNC) Streets of New Capenna Previews

    They look very similar, but at the same time it's also a lot easier to distinguish the colors they produce.

    General Alchemy

    I don't know how to feel about Alchemy-exclusive versions of existing cards. On one hand, I kind of want to use them. Esika's Chariot is a massive stat-monster that is probably too egregious for my format, but I really like the artifact/etb/token crossover synergy it has, and the nerfed versions...
