I mean, reducing the number of unique tokens used in cube is something that comes up regularly :)

I agree though, spree looks exciting!

To be fair, the way I set up judging the contest means the top 4 isn't necessarily the top 4 best submissions. Heck, if the best and second-best design meet each other in the group stage, the second-best entry doesn't even make it to the quarter finals! I'm only looking for a single winner...

No, not at all, I was just wondering what your motivations were, since MV would seem like the natural stat to tie these too in my mind :) Thanks for the in-depth answer! The choice between cheap but with downside and more expensive but with upside, and the fact that those can vie for the same...

I’m curious why you use toughness instead of mana value for the sticker requirement.

Because I’m lawful good and breaking the “rules” makes me uncomfortable. I’ll only do that if they’re actively harmful (and barring me from watching a series that’s available in another region is annoying, not harmful). Also, I’m “old” (read: over 40) and can’t be bothered with figuring out how...

I think number 3 is my personal favorite as well, though I like number 1 as well! The additional benefit of number 3 is that you can't drop a thrive creature on curve and immediately trigger it that end step because you created a token for free this turn.

! ! ! Q U A R T E R F I N A L S ! ! ! Can you believe it! I mean, my wife isn't particularly happy with the amount of time I'm spending on judging this contest, but I assured her I'm almost done! The knockout phase should be a bit faster, buuuuut I threw in a small wrench for myself. You'll see...

Yeah, I know that should work, but I'm not going to do that :)

I believe I have four Antiquities Ornithopters in my collection... hmm...

I was going to say read, but after a quick Google I found out it's been adapted into a three-season animated series around the turn of the century. The series gets a whopping 8.2 on IMDB, and the best part is that it's available on Amazon Prime. Instant add to the watchlist, thanks for prompting...

I think that slivers and energy are both poisonous mechanics. You basically want as many as you can get, because each extra sliver or energy card you can get makes the mechanic perform better, and non-sliver/non-energy cards are consequently less interesting. For energy this problem is more...

Aw, I didn't know the tags weren't exposes through an API, and you're right, they're not even complete. Still useful though!

While reminder text is indeed not rules text, it was definitely a bit too short hand. Your original reminder text was "A hiding creature has hexproof, first strike and can't be blocked. Remove a counter after it deals damage or you target it." This reminder text confused me, because it does not...

LAST GROUP STAGE HYPE!!! GROUP H Nanonox Graverob N (When this creature enters the battlefield, mill N cards, then exile N creature cards from your graveyard. If you do, create a Treasure token.) Mown Hiding (A creature with a hiding counter on it has hexproof, first strike and can't be...

You know what would be cool? If you could search for a card web that looks something like the LuckyPaper cube map. Enter a card name, and it shows that card as a dot in the middle, connected with various isles that have more or less overlap with the tags of your card (optionally/by default...

Aaaand we're back! Let's dive into group G's entries! GROUP G ellogeyen Empowered (Creatures with power greater than their base power are empowered.) Gamusino Galvanize M (The next instant or sorcery you cast this turn cost M less to cast.) Strionic Adventurer Thrive (At the beginning...

This one article I wrote undermines my entire identity as the resident troll :rolleyes: Excellent synopsis, somebody pin this!

To be fair, they’ve a) got a point, and b) we’re still talking about how these two podcasts can be applied to cube design. Like, the “tools” (or mindset) are presumably discussed in those podcasts.

Let's all be friends here! Harvest Wurm
