Oh, I just realized you said specifically "reprinting". Sorry about that. I thought that was about including cycles in cubes, not in the masters sets. For printed sets I actually like having full cycles, treating all combinations as the same for reasons mostly overlapping with my previous...

I get the conversation started about the manland cycle in UMA. In that case I actually agree it's bad to have the whole cycle just for the sake of having it. However I don't have the same opinion about cube design, as the biggest drawback is the monetary value of some cycle components being so...

That's not the same thing at all. The consequences of the first rule has been discussed extensively here. The second has other consequences: When a piece of a cycle is seen, a drafter can assume the other parts are there too. It takes less mind space to know what a 5-card cycle does than 5...

I like the feeling of 3 packs of 15, it might be just because it's familiar to me, but it will be familiar to other drafters as well. That said, with fewer players than 8 I think we can do things in cube draft that cannot be done in retail to adjust the experience. I've always found that...

You're making the format more skill testing and biasing it much more towards people who are familiar with the cube. It sounds like a format that's especially isolating for new players, as they will end up with worse decks. In my group, by the time the new people were making their 5th pick I'd...

I like this as a signpost for +1/+1 counter decks, although it increases the variance between good and bad draws a lot. Hardened Scales

One thing that stands out when playing cube is the card names in the modern/new frame are much more legible. I prefer the old frame in terms of flavor and feeling - especially the card name font and the texture of the text boxes - but the new ones are much more functional and accessible.

I've run Lost Hours for some time. Can't actually say how good it is, because it looks quite bad. No one picked it on purpose, no one played it. My feeling is that it's meh in aggro for disruption, and bad everywhere else. Discard is already a bad topdeck, and does not need the extra issue of...

I spent three years working with a modular cube, so I have many empirical findings to share. First, about keeping the modules separated and sort them after shuffling. Yes, it’s a significant issue, but it can be overcome and is not a dealbreaker at all. I used tiny triangles of washi tape on...

Isn't that just an uninteractive go-wide payoff?

How do you search for exact mana costs? Like, cards that cost exactly {2}{U} ?

Current info Current cube version: 5.0.4 https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/elegant Original Post Cube version: 4.6 Cube Tutor link - http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/4494 This is an evolution from my cube. The changes in philosophy and execution have been fairly drastic and I decided to...

I haven't tried it, but this card seems perfect as a Single Card Archetype: Path of Mettle

Thanks for the input. Ezuri, Renegade Leader pumps himself, but it's one of of those payoffs that go only in the elf deck, and I wanted to avoid them. Lys Alana Huntmaster runs the same problem. Wren's Run Packmaster is actually interesting, and probably has a slightly lower threshold of ~6...

Need two payoffs for elves: Imperious Perfect Immaculate Magistrate Wellwisher Elvish Archdruid Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen Leaning towards the first two, as Imperious Perfect is good enough on its own and pivots into tokens, while Immaculate Magistrate pivots into counters.

Let's go with Runechanter's Pike

Short answer: don't know yet, but I'm trying. Since Dominaria brought some interesting goodies, my artifacts deck now focuses on UB (though there is a little bit in each color to make other combos possible). Current setup is: Specific payoffs for artifacts: The Antiquities War Cranial...

Great Teacher's Decree Just the Wind Cryptbreaker Anger Ghoultree

The strongest lifegain payoff: Crested Sunmare
