Thanks a lot for the feedback guys, and I really like the decks you've drafted so far! Another set of bouncelands or adding the pain lands from 9th is already a consideration. I just want to make sure, that splashing a third color doesn't become too common, and sadly the cobra bots take fixing...

I think obsessing with my cube(s) has turned me more and more into a designer. I don't really enjoy high power level as just that anymore. I prefer draft environments, where cards are smaller pieces of the puzzle and the games can evolve enough to let you see more cards and make more decisions...

Just to show, that despite the low power level and the simplicity of many cards, the decks can be quite interesting, I want to show off this azorius deck I've drafted the other day: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/604e0bd6584ae2105c4f3c9a After a firstpick Sword of the Paruns, I got quite an...

When me and my best friend started playing magic in 2005, we each got a starter deck from 9th edition. We soon followed them up with more cards from that set as well as with starter decks and boosters from the original ravnica block. For me, this was the time, where there was the most "magic" to...

Thrasios, triton Hero Littjara Mirrorlake Which of these simic midrange goodies do you like more and why?

I have to talk about my home girl again Soratami Cloudskater Sure, she's a lower powered card. But she just plays so much better than she looks! She supports landfalls, loam, discard and selfmill strategies, reanimator and is a cheap evasive body for ninja stuff. Also, she is just really...

I always though Reveillark was a max power cube staple. At least it was when I was hanging around mtgsalvation cube forum, before I ended up here, luckily.

At which number would a cmc 1 sorcery with "You gain N life" and nothing else be good?

I tested the green and the blue one quite some time ago, no idea why I cut them. I like the green one the most I think, as that's where you can get the sweet landfall/loam synergies, as well as enchantment stuff.

Hmm, maybe this card would be a better fit for a lower powered environment? It has a much lower ceiling, but also a much higher floor, which is usually a good thing for limited. A healthy thing. I mean, a 3/3 flier for 5 is not great, but also never super terrible if you're topdecking it later...

Sigil of the Empty Throne Could this card be enough as a build around if ~20% of your white cards are enchantments already? Technically I already have a few cards caring about enchantments (Stone Haven Pilgrim, Starnheim Courser, Trusty Retriever, Enlightened Tutor ...) but most of them are...

What about Spiritkeeper makes it feel fake?

Tymaret, Chosen from Death Nezumi Graverobber Always bothered me that the best gy colors, black and green, get the best gy hate. Just like the best enchantment colors, green and white, get the best answers to them. Also, exiling stuff from the yard feels very red (cremation) or white (ban...

Isn't this the original artwork?

Also did my first draft. The whole time I thought I was drafting {G/U} Madness/Threshold, but in the end I had trouble cutting down to 23 or 24 cards. And since I didn't pick up any simic fixing, I ended up removing blue (even though wonder would've been nuts here). I still have quite a few cool...

Your Temple Garden and Llanowar Elves are from the wrong set at CC :) Man, looking at this list makes me smile. It pretty much covers my favorite era of mtg, from an aesthetic point of view at least, but also the power level was just right. I will get some drafts done tonight or tomorrow and...

And with their new looks there are a few cards that have slightly increased their chances of getting (back) into my cube at some point: Even though there are no new cards, I haven't had a spoiler season that gave me such a warm and fuzzy feeling for many years

Definitely in: 17 cards is about what I was hoping for, maybe even a little better, so I am very happy. There is also this one but I have an altered version of it so ...
