    General Jumpstart, Historic Horizons spoiler thread

    Is nobody confused with the language? Seek, conjure? And how would you use this sarkhan in paper? It shaves perpetually 1 mana off dragons in your hand. How do you keep that information hidden without later having to prove that you did not cheat (especially if you have duplicates)?

    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    I like them a lot. Do not forget Necromancy Most here do not like protection, but return enchantments like Flickering ward can be quite good. Add some enchantresses and you have a nice deck.

    General We Make The Cube

    I was thinking hard what to add. I saw a lack of kill spells and a lot of artifacts. I always like counterplay and am genuinely afraid that this cube will have board stall. So I could suggest kataki, war's wage or Energy flux. To support single color I was thinking about Ankh of Mishra and...

    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    If your cube is fast, e.g., Ismaru, hound of konda with Rancor then 3 real mana is probably already expensive enough. Leaving 4 mana up is a really a lot, but fair. Leaving 3 mana open already signals that trouble is up. The only time it is painful is when your opponent could not do anything...

    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    Instant speed removal is not the problem for auras. Too cheap instant removal is. Make cheap removal sorcery, but allow also some counterplay in the form of enchantment removal or not so cheap instant removal.

    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    http://cubecobra.com/cube/list/16se?f=type:Aura To summarize: all embraces 2x, 2x rancor, pacifism like effects, steal and a few others. Around 5% of the cube are auras you want to put under your own creatures.

    General Auras--What works? What's worth it?

    I have a urza block cube so I can chime in when auras are strong enough but not overpowering. How does it work you ask? 1) In ye olde days creatures were weak compared to everything including auras, e.g. compare any 4 drop green creature ( Emperor Crocodile or Citanul Centaurs) with Gaea's...

    General Physical Cube Setup

    I am to lazy to imgur some images but https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kakapopo/storage-case-for-cards-deck-box-toploader-mtg-poke is exactly what I have. Sturdy, lightweight, and can hold at least 700 double sleeved cards, plus dice and so on.

    General What are your favorite mechanics that merge Cool Things with Winning Things?

    I agree on those two white payoffs. They are splendid finds! I do not like a mana base which makes many colors to easy. Magic is a game where every color has its restriction. Abolishing this turns all cards into 'colerless' ones, which in turn makes the game less rich than it is. Snuff Out is...

    General (theory) playgroups and the cube teleology and experience

    Thanks! I had been lurking for a long time before I joined, but was also not following everything so I was just wondering

    Yes it certainly is a gem. Where is CML and the other oldies? Did they just vanish?

    Double sleeve, on the inner sleeve stick a small colored sticker on every card in the same spot for each card. Probably bottom left or maybe in the lower left half.

    General Draft Format Idea: Hatesealed

    I guess the advantage is in the eye of the beholder... it depends on the playgroup but suppose you have 5 drafters, and 3 players beforehand agree to sit next to each other and help each other out. So 3 players will get great decks, 2 are screwed...

    General Cube Idea: SDD (Sealed, Draft, Draft)

    It is very close to a method I employ: Give each player a sealed pool. When one player loses 2 times in a row that player receives x additional cards and can ban a card from the winner (who receives y cards for each copy that is banned).

    General Renaming 'Breaking Singleton'

    Is creating a term not giving more power to the ones who (wrongly) assume singleton? Maybe you should make a video about the difference between 2 different names but functional copies and a copy (oh wait you already did that). It is just like custom cards or rules, or even better, a better game...

    Yes, the more fixing the easier it is to play multicolored cards. However, the more fixing the easier it becomes to play and draft the best cards irrespective of color restrictions...
