    And of course, it would see absolutely no play because expensive baneslayers aren’t all that good in 2021, even in Standard. :texas:

    I would say neither because these cards aren't great archetype anchors. I ran Teysa back when she was new as an aristocrats/afterlife build around. She was fine, but she was an overcosted vanilla creature roughly half of the time she was played. The types of engines Teysa Karlov wants to be a...

    I echo this. It's especially good with Faerie Seer et. al.

    For sure, the mono-red player trying to splash their one white card doesn't want to play any basic plains if they can avoid it. Fixing lands let mono-color players stick to their lane and still be able to splash something cool, meaning they still fill the role of a mono-color player when...

    That's really not how these drafts tend to work out in practice, at least for the types of decks I was using as my example. Mono-color aggro decks try to avoid extra colors to allow players to trim out lands that would be required for playing extra colors so they can jam in more cheap creaures...

    I don’t think the Cubetutor Import feature saves pictures, I think your best bet is either doing it manually or using archive.org

    Probably @Brad’s onslaught cube.

    My old 180 peasant Cube was kind of close to masters set limited, but it’s not like Midnight Hunt draft or anything.

    General Trainmaster Mirror Project: Saving Old Cubes from Cubetutor

    Just added the Hypercube, the most drafted Cube from Cubetutor. I think the Curator might still be active, but I decided to clone it anyway.

    I mean I don't either, but that's more because I think there is a range of fixing values that is going to be correct for most environments. Even if monocolor is supported, I don't believe the golden number is ever going to be much lower than 45 lands per 360 cards. So I really disagree with...

    I may or may not have missed your details section :oops: So, your math is good, although the section about 3c land distribution only applies to 3c decks that want to start their curve on turn two. As we see with the numbers Onder provided... If you want to cast a spell (or use a colored mana...

    Hello! I'm archiving some old Cubes from Cubetutor before the site is permanently shut down later this month on a "Cube Mirror" account. So far, I've archived all of my old Cubes, some early Cubes who's curators have vanished, and three of Grillo's Cubes. Here is a link to the project. Are...

    I think that's roughly correct. I think it might have to do a little more with environment speed than simply "more like constructed" or "more like retail." A lightning-fast retail style format (like one mirroring triple Zendikar, for example), is probably going to want more fixing than a format...

    I appreciate the long-form response. I think your arguments are better in context. Most of what you are saying is largely correct, but there are a couple of points that I wish to respond to. In context, I see the point you are arguing against is playing 70, 80, or 90 lands at 36o Cube size...

    But in retail limited having a flier that can gain shroud, pump itself, and untap itself just wins games without support. You don't need to combine that card with Fire Whip (or any other cute combo piece for that matter) in order to make it better than mediocre. Like yeah Morphling might be...

    Morphling is too good in a retail context most of the time, save for really fast formats. Horseshoe Crab is an absolute lad who deserves a chance to shine.
