Nitpicking is welcomed. I did some more nitpicking of my own on the list. I can't leave things alone. I did some draft simulations with four packs of 9 or 10 instead of five packs of 9, and it seems to work pretty well. Reading less cards and spending less time making cuts keeps things...

Thanks for the feedback and the drafts! I updated a bunch of cards to smooth out the power curve, and I also attended a bit to the mana curves. I think this has helped to make it less of a bimodal power distribution. I do want a difference in power levels, but not in a way that leaves a bunch...

Some issues that I've noticed already. I'm sure other people can spot various others that I haven't noticed yet. 1) Black is more wordy than the other colors, and the graveyard theme got more extensive than initially intended. I like the way the grave theme looks in combination with the life...

I've created the Simplicity Cube, a cube for beginning players using some ideas from existing designs (see bottom). Similar to the 180 Beginner Cube, I want this to work with 4 player drafting and also be useful for creating quick mono-color decks for teaching a new players, including kids...

Two colors, two pieces of the reanimator plan. Seems appropriate to me.

Quick comparison to other recent 3GG creatures with some of the same abilities: Crested Herdcaller Vigilant Baloth Arborback Stomper Keeper of Fables Silverback Shaman The comparison only gets sillier if you look at 4GG creatures and see how much weaker they are. Rares and mythics willl be...

This is a cool design. The equip cost of just 1 makes this pretty solid. https://mythicspoiler.com/m21/cards/maleficentscythe.html

FYI, I have kept up with the changes you've made to this cube, and I've been collecting the cards to build it. I've looked around for other cubes that share some of the same qualities you're striving for, but I haven't really found anything else like it.

Who the hell is this guy? That's what comes to mind as I read this excellent post, along with a bunch of tangents to read the linked content, including the remarkable post about modular cubes. I came onto this forum this evening looking for something interesting and stimulating, and my brain is...

Here's what I came up with last night: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/148545. Given the cards I own, this ends up being about a $175 cube makeover. Not too bad. I subbed in a mix of 30 dual lands that I own. I'll probably buy checks and shocks when they rotate out of standard and skip the...

I love the design principles behind this cube. The level of balance and depth evident in this cube are really refreshing. Choosing to make the format slow and lower powered is not intuitive, but I think it makes a ton of sense if the goal is to design the most satisfying draft format. I don't...

I was scratching the surface of your cube last night, and I'm very interested in it. I might have to price it out and consider using it as a template. I had actually wondered about the viability of a slower cube with a different sort of aggro. Thanks for including UW and UG examples, because...

Fair enough; I shouldn't have called them boring. I appreciate being reminded of my biases. In fact, I am specifically trying to support a wider variety of interests, recognizing that my cube started out with too much emphasis on themes that I like. That's why I'm asking questions. I actually...

I'm fine with the idea that some number of one drops will be purely for aggro decks. I just don't want a big pile of them, and I'm interested in seeing more of the creative ways that people have made aggro interesting to draft. There just aren't that many interesting options at 1CC compared to...

I love the thoughtful content on this site, which I discovered just in the past couple of days. My cube project has plenty of issues, but how to properly integrate interesting aggro is the one I'm thinking about the most right now. My first cube versions left out most of the one drops because...
