I'm very likely to run onderzeboots "fast duals" (scars fastlands with abu types) instead of straight up abu proxies just to have a aggro-friendly mana base. I guess I can just experiment with like a 40 gold section, or even 50 if I compensate with less mana symbols in the wubrg-section, and run...

Hm. I really feel like it should be possible though? At least you can do custom sets when using just straight up Cockatrice. Does draft.in book keep new sets themselves?

I've been hanging around here for about half a year now or so, and while I've begun assembling a cube of my own and play with other people's cube fact still remains that I've yet to get a draft of my own together. Usually the advice here is to just take whatever crap you've got lying around and...

Onderzeboot, what lands are you currently running? Didnt see a list on the forum.

Have you considered making more use of the blinking as a theme? I don't know if its something youve thought of already, but I like the idea of taking the bounceland combo themes' different parts and just having them function in the other themes as well. some of its there, with like the...

One thing I noticed so far after doing some test drafts wad that there seem to be a lack of just cards that stand on their own and don't exist as archetype support. Sometimes I was looking into a pack with cards that just cared about stuff I wasn't drafting at all and suddenly things looked...

Also, if you haven't already I'd really recommend reading some of the articles published on the riptide website (ie outside the forum). They give some pretty good insight in the basic design principles behind a cube, so might make it easier to judge wheter or not a card suites the cube you are...

Doesn't the idea of trying to keep it singleton help mitigate breaking singletons on things just for the sake of breaking singleton? It seems like you finally gave in just because the environment demanded it, not just because it's fun. (Then again, it seems like you could hold back no longer and...

Probably not anything anyone is a fan of but it acts double duty in a purphoros token theme in red.

A real subtle difference that you mightve already thoughtaken of with the put on the battlefield from your hand vs flash is that the former is uncounterable, so might make it better as a finisher?

Lightform plays a little bit like an enchantment creature, I'd imagine. At least in terms of triggering enchantment matters themes while maintaining a boars presence

It does present a very particular kind of cube experience. Without knowing vintage any, I get the feeling unburdening the players from hunting power-pieces just to be able to compete relieves them to go look for just interesting cards? Like, you could then shift back into the regular cube...

I guess the best end to start from is just to make a short list of statements that are to be true of the cube, design goals if you will. I haven't played enough vintage to make an analysis of what makes vintage a good and fun format, but I know for a fact that we want cubes to be somewhat...

Got a boros charm? Not sure if you want to use the double strike mode or haul four damage in the face of your opponent? Got mana to spare? Then why not choose both! You even get to play the best color in magic, to boot!

Alas, it is not a fatty. UG weenie?

I'm not sure it would matter all that often, but could the wrath work with a "choose one: destroy all toughness 1 or, destroy all power 1" clause?

Remember to show us the entire semi-cycle in the appropriate thread!

This is probably something you have to play test, and I agree that it should have an activation cost to get around the problem with psuedo-unblockability, but I feel like 1R might make it hard to utilize because you need so much mana to cast spells and trigger it. I could see making it like a...

Sure. I'm just not a fan of adding additional colors to justify a powerlevel. Colors should show themselves in the mechanics.

God jesus christ. I can see how people are reminiscent of magic back in the day but there is a definite point where magic cards had really dumb conveyance and where it had less dumb (ie. now). Its like, some of these card have only two rows of text in the errata. Edit: Ok, I'm just soar...
