    The Elegant Cube v5

    Do you think there is an advantage of a cube where all the archetypes (think 10+) are centered each in a certain color, but thanks to generic-ness and incidental synergies can be combined with one or more other colors OVER a cube where you have pairs archetypes with mostly flexible enablers and...

    Agreed, and I also missed that. Well, I hope we will get a mono white pants legend that does better :)

    I LOVE the snow duals! They're almost as gorgeous as the showcase cards this time around! They even make me want to buid a frosty winter cube. Man, if I didn't have to work and still would've money for it, I'd have at least 5 cubes probably. Cute idea. Just a bit too wordy for my tastes...

    Karfell and Axgard give me strong skyrim vibes and I love it.

    The Elegant Cube v5

    It's inspiring and entertaining to read what you write about cube. I wish I could express my thoughts on that level, but I fear my english isn't even good eough. Anyway, what has your experience with occasionals been so far? I felt they weren't really worth the extra work (marking and sorting...

    Oh, it's not like the environment hasn't any landfall in it. In fact, my current plan for 600 will have 6 cards with actual landfall trggers in blue, plus Barrin, Tolarian Archmage, Glasspool Mimic and Trade Routes as well as Adventuring Gear in colorless. I just wanted to make sure, that the...

    I had all my tokens printed where I also print my renders, so the all have a similar look and I'm not missing weird ones. They are white borderd because my token sleeves are white, so they don't get mixed up with my black cube sleeves. I have like 50 different of these.

    Okay, that's a card I can get behind. Man, I wish they'd explore that trap design more, maybe even with a mechanic. Trap Burn {2}{R}{R} Instant If you control a mountain, ~ deals 4 damage to any target. Trap - An opponent attacks with a creature with flying (you may exile this face down from...

    Wow, I made that list doing what I do best, hating on newly spoiled cards! Rejoice, grumpy old fogeys!

    Keep them sorted. It is not as much work as it sounds like. I sort them by color and within that alphabetically. Finding the right tokens then is an easier task. But yeah, bringing a new token to the box has also been a tiebreaker with new cards for me. I thought about the idea to have double...

    You're probably right. Maybe Celestial Purge would fit that group better.

    Is there a sweet spot for color hate? Fiendslayer Paladin Flashfreeze Deathmark Combust Mold Adder I could imagine that a very small dose adds a new sideboard tool, that makes sideboardig more appealing and also more approachable for newbies, who often don't have the knowledge and...

    Only if you support 2 or more tribes. I only have mono {R} goblins, so I'd rather have a good goblin than a good changeling. Ture, but I feel like that is a huge step either way. You have to replace all your basic lands (and than it might be difficult to balance in some cases) OR you have...

    Oh yeah, she fefinitely has synergies, mostly in {R/G} madness and {B/G} dredge. I think the strongest lines of play would be something like ... Discard Stromkirk Occultist and search for Arrogant Wurm Discard Golgari Grave-Troll and search for Nighthowler ... and I think my environment can...

    Fauna Shaman Yeah, you read the thread title correctly. I know it's one creature liked much by power max people, but they also like harmless stuff that scales to an environment. So my question is: Does Fauna Shaman scale to the environment? Searching for a Crypt Rats is definitely not the same...

    Blech means sheet or tin metal in german. But yeah, so far I am not exited by Kaldheims mechanics. Boast is a narrower raid. Foretell is a more boring morph imo. Dfcs are a bit annoying during draft, so I try to avoid them. Snow is parasitic and hard to enable in cube. Tribal is similar, and...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    While I experimented with cube occasionals last year, I realized I was too strict with archetype support. If you accept that even core archetypes will come together only 80% of the time instead of 100%, you open up for much positive variance. Before, I calculated the needs of my cube based on...

    There is technically a strictly better version, but I am the last one who wouldn't justify a card by it's old school coolness. Predator's Gambit
