I'm guessing the set ends up being relatively low power like Adventures in the Forgotten Realms was, minus a couple of juiced Commanders that will be decent in EDH but ultimately not strong enough for Modern. AFR sold extremely well despite it's incredibly low power level and lack of...

Great post Parker! The optimal strategy here might simply be only including one of the cards you mentioned here as weighting the format towards UG. Just having, for example, Uro in the Cube makes UG a bit stronger, but it doesn't make the meta UG oriented. Now instead of having several cards...

I know that my playgroup loves the custom cards I make. I don't use them every draft, but when I have, my players have enjoyed them. I don't know how random people would feel about customs, but I doubt they would have a problem with it since you're still giving them access to free Magic via Cube.

Timeless Witness costs way too much mana up front to be good in most Cubes IMO. Most 4-drops need to have some beef (or bring some friends) in order to make the cut in most environments, and Timeless Witness just doesn't.

Great writeup as always, Dom! I think it's funny this guy ended up in the "tokens" part of the discussion since she's both one of the most unique synergy pieces in the set but also just one of the best Cube cards in general. The mill ability can help fuel a variety of strategies and cards...

Both of these cards actually kind of suck if your Cube has even halfway decent proactive strategies. The most appropriate 4-drop instant speed draw spell for your power level is probably actually this boy: Hieroglyphic Illumination This card is legitimately way better than FoF because it is...

While we’re on the topic of White cards… Temporal IsolationVS.Silkwrap I’m thinking I like Wrap a little bit more due to it’s simplicity, but Isolation seems like it could easily be the superior card from a power level perspective. Most of the threats in my Cube have a mana value of 3 or less...

Skinrender is a Phyrexianised Nim, the Mirran/New Phyrexian native Zombie species. They look a little different than normal Zombies from across the multiverse because they have a metal plate in their head that destroys their eyes.

Wow, I can't believe I missed two pages of a spoiler thread. Oh well, guess I can give my thoughts now. This card is of an appropriate power level for a lot of Cubes. While it doesn't necessarily break into fairmaxed Cubes, it fits reasonably well into plenty of environments a step or two below...

That's exactly what I was trying to say.

As long as you’re still drafting the whole Cube, your players are still getting cards in the same ratio, they’re just getting more of them. The primary difference is that the resulting decks are going to be more consistent. I would say that you only need to scale back on removal if your players...

Right now, I am at 75 removal spells out of 311 nonland cards, which equates to 24.11% removal. I included Thoughtseize effects that could hit creatures in this calculation. My removal As-Fan is 3.1245.

I like Chess. I'm not that great at it, but it's fun to play.

Yes, this is where I took my tag from, @Velrun. Since I have been tagged again, I will use this opportunity to remove Venser, Shaper Savant. And I'll pass tags to @Heymaker and @Peter LaCara

I believe two people tagged into the wild.

Not wanting to hear Boomers complain about the online-only cards is the exact reason why I decided not to start a new thread even though i wanted to discuss Davriel's Drip. But since I'm here... Seriously, mask man got some Style in between printings! Also, I think Arena is going to die long...

I’m gonna add a cycle of things with Cycling {Color Pip}! Cast Out Hieroglyphic Illumination Horror of the Broken Lands Spark Spray Dissenter's Deliverance I’m going to tag @landofMordor and @Jason Waddell.

Sorry, they just aren’t anywhere near good enough to compete with Hidden Gibbons! You should have known that the Gibbons would spike the power level of the cube when you added them!
