    The Black Cube

    https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/rsyt EDIT: Cut the Selesnya anti black idea. New idea is still in that link. Much blacker.

    The Black Cube

    To address the "it's a black heavy artifact cube, not an artifact heavy black cube" issue: I wanted to go deep into artifacts to achieve a level of Mirrodin nostalgia. I think that may be in opposition to the idea of being The Black Cube. I think you simply can't have a list fully invested in...

    The Black Cube

    Came and passed. I was going to make a post about it, but didn't. Been pondering ever since. I got the comment that it feels more like an artifact cube than a black cube now, so I've got some tinkering to do on the numbers. I'll tweak the numbers a bit and possibly play again soon, but COVID is...

    General Alternate Wins in Fair Cubes

    I thought this deck could be functional in some kind of environment where you make sure the eggs are somehow desirable to numerous decks. Maybe the mana is clunky or something. I'm not sure. It turns out there's only ten "eggs", so it doesn't look too likely without singleton break. There's...

    General Favorite Cards You Don't Run

    This is probably the unanimous favorite card in my playgroup! I think your cube looks too fast for it, though. I think it isn't too hard, but there's certainly some concessions that need to be made. Depends how badly you want it. Spent a few seconds trying to figure out which set BLB was...

    General CBS

    I personally think it takes away one of green's strengths to give other colors too much splash potential.

    General Favorite Cards You Don't Run

    A lot of posts I want to reply to, but don't want to make a wall of quotes. It's really interesting to see the differences in each person's forbidden fruit. Everything from cards that barely missed the list to nostalgia picks. I guess you can add half of Onslaught block to my list as a...

    General Favorite Cards You Don't Run

    I'm constantly thinking about gigantosaursus and body of research and was wondering if anyone else has cards that are constantly tempting them.

    General Fight Club

    Rankle has a sweet effect once per turn in a lot of different decks. Yawg can be GRBS in a sac deck.

    General Fight Club

    Careful actually sort of sucks. I haven't liked it whenever I tried it. FoF and Gifts are pretty slow to resolve and HEAVILY favor more experienced players. Not a 4, but Thirst for Knowledge has plenty of artifacts to pitch in your list.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Wording??? When ~ ETBs or attacks (or you draw, or whatever, I know wording here), put a NAME counter on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, if ~ has a NAME counter on it, apply the following effects: N or more: Effect A. N+ or more: Effect B. 7 or more: Effect C. Bold is the issue. Not sure...

    General Fight Club

    Fuck yeah! Take that, everyone!! BOOM! As I've changed my designs to be more 2007-ish, I have a great appreciation for something that simply attacks really well. Exemplified by the Ravnican Zoo decks with Savannah Lions, Watchwolf, Burning-Tree Shaman, etc. A lot of the creatures of the era...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Maybe not, but it has either Boros or Rakdos icons on it and is a Mardu card overall, so I could believe it. All kinda depends on how you view these color schemes.

    Card/Deck Enchantress?

    I'd start by seeing how many enchantment creatures are around the desired power level, as those should be really easy to slot in without being parasitic. Making a lot of the removal enchantment based isn't too difficult and offers an opportunity to cast auras without as much worrying about an...

    Card/Deck Enchantress?

    https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/the-black-cube.2058/page-2#post-92117 I've got a bit of an enchantment post here. Not super helpful, but it's more than nothing. I think a lot of the enchantment creatures are good if you power down and it's easy to run W or B enchantment based removal. The...

    General Fight Club

    I'd run this if I could: planar cleansing Four simple words get the job done.

    General Removal density

    Each player is going to get 72-120 cards instead of 45? Seems unnecessary. That's a big "if." I agree it'll gravitate more heavily towards whatever is supported, though.

    General Removal density

    https://www.coolstuffinc.com/a/alexullman-030414-removing-removal-in-cube TL;DR: ROE: 1.95 asfan INN: 1.7 asfan Not clear what they counted as removal. I go for asfan of 2. Asfan is how many you'd expect to see per pack "as fanned" out, so 2/15 cards, or ~13.33%. We found in another thread...

    The Black Cube

    Total rework in sig. All of the cheaper cards have been ordered, which is 80%+ of it. I'll know when I update the owned/not owned on CC after I reconfigure the paper cube. I have 7-9 people ready to draft on the 14th.
