    The Black Cube

    VS Basically considering running some nonblack cards in my 3C slots. The cards would achieve more of my design goals, one of which now includes simpler text, but is it too much of a betrayal to the theme? I've got a text out to the playgroup, but curious what people here think. Some of the...

    It's just under edit settings on the overview page, but it doesn't do anything.

    I am clicking on the cards to change them, but it's frustrating because it's set to most recent printing and doesn't do it at all. No one actually answered my question. Is it like that for everyone?

    Does anyone else's Cubecobra add random printings of cards to the cube, even though they have "most recent" printing selected?

    Article One Card a Day

    You can click the #X at the bottom right of each post to navigate to it directly. I'd check a post like this, but I don't imagine I'll be going off site to see what you've said every day. So, if you'd want to link via the bottom right of the post and keep it in RTL, you could.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I was gonna mention Solar Blaze. Seems like you could easily build around it with some X/(X+Y)s. That said, it hits pretty early and sweeps most aggro creatures, so it might just be RW Wrath most of the time at a quick 4 mana. Similarly, the 3 mana 3 damage sweepers are punishing as hell.

    General Average Words Per Card

    I've been thinking of words like a price. You wouldn't run a $50 card unless it was REALLY useful to your environment. Similarly, I'm trying not to run anything too wordy unless it's very worth it. The problem I've personally run into is that The Black Cube thrives off having cards with a base...

    General Average Words Per Card

    Another thing I noticed while trying to decrease the wordiness of my cube is that some mechanics are one word and you know it: flashback, delve, etc. Others are a flag for a type of effect that has many words involved: landfall, threshold, etc. The former is obviously gonna be better to...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Oh fuck. I was considering a bunch of Wilds or Terramorphics as a solid-enough color fixer so that my beginners wouldn't need to read every new, different nonbasic land as they came around. Pretty sure a large number of these will cost a small fortune, though.

    Omenspeaker is a decent card. Other than the UU cost, there's no real downside to it. I was going to use it as part of a Doomsday package, but never got a chance thanks to COVID and my redesign likely won't include something that complex, but that's an option as well.

    Either cut the mono commanders or allow mono to add a second color. The latter could be spicy. I'm not sure how that affects the math, exactly, but it eliminates the 693 card scenario.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    4-6 of these Rat Colony 1 of these Ravenous Rats It would be pretty ridiculous, but could definitely work. Looks like a bit of a discard deck, which I've found difficult to run because a lot of decks discard for value anyways, negating a lot of the advantage the deck can generate.

    I think all tribal will get better as they print more things like Windrider Wizard, Wizard's Retort, and Winged Words. These spells with a reasonable base effect and a slightly better effect in-tribe are much more usable designs and I look forward to seeing more of them.

    I often feel like this is basically a tribal deck. Right now I run Zur, but he just needs access to a few O Rings or something to work. That's interesting. It's typically UR cards that tempt me away from Blackness. When designing my Onslaught nostalgia cube, kind of like Onslaught Remastered...
