    General Jumpstarting your cube drafts

    You know, if you gave every deck its own XY fetch and XY shock (or dual), then you could make sure then fetch is tri-fixing, assuming you pair the deck with either YZ or XZ, which would also have its own fetch/shock. Obviously, that adds up monetarily unless you wanted to proxy. I also think...

    starfield of nyx Trying to add BWu enchantments. G doesn't look like it's going to work for me unless I change my ramp suite to land auras, which I won't do. Current narrow payoffs are Doomwake Giant, Zur the Enchanter, and Alela, Artful Provocateur but that locks the deck into Esper and I'd...

    You could pass out random commanders to people and then they take decks to support the commander. Gives a bit of decision making while still being really quick to get going.

    I'd personally feel crushed if my fetch got Stifled and see that as no fun at all.

    You HAVE to add Wilds or Vivids or Thrivings to the land sections. All basics in a mana base that's likely to end up 3c isn't gonna fly. I'd suggest several multicolor lands per pack, as you don't want color screw to define what you're doing. I might even build this like it's a cube. How can...

    I looked up all ENCHANTMENTS! Scriptures is too scary to me as a board wrath into yard wrath. That's a lot going on for my format. Definitely have enjoyed the couple sagas I've actually had a chance to play with. They feel like nerfed walkers. Get a couple small value turns and one bigger...

    Jumpstart is either based on or the same as another game, Smash Up, that gives you two ~20 card decks and you mash em together and play. I considered something like this after having played that for the reasons you stated, but the deckbuilding part of the process is really the best part of cube...

    Makes sense on Rite. I was thinking like japahn, where you're getting a ton of bodies and that seems good, but it's a terrible top deck. I already have Eldest. Card's so good. Just trying to up the enchantment density right now

    I think that's a solid list because those effects can't really be replicated by colored cards. The Black Cube might do heraldic banner lashwrithe nyx lotus Unless Lashwrithe gets a pass as a black card, then I'd add Scrabbling Claws, as yard hate that hits multiple cards but doesn't wipe the...

    the mirari conjecture How's this one been? I like I and II, but I worry that III is going to lead to a ridiculous turn too often. time of ice Is this too annoying? Or is it too weak when I could just wrath on 5 cmc? rite of belzenlok Any experience? fires of invention I know this is...

    I'd ask that person why they're limiting their artifact section to 3 artifacts and then tell them they're a hypothetical idiot no matter what they said because colorless cards are the most flexible slot in their whole cube. That said, I don't like ravnic's list because I could replace it with...

    The Black Cube

    Coinsmtih I can see coming in if enchantments pans out and life gain gets more support. Grim's too weak for me. I worry how much value Arasta will generate. Seems like often too much. Brain Maggot I considered but I'm really not sure. Maybe Spinner is alright. Looks like a pay off but it's still...

    The Black Cube

    Yeah, I'm just making a list of stuff I could use to reference later but documenting it here. I'm liking Starfield of Nyx as a narrow one right now because it's a unique reanimation effect that's going to be more reliable than Sigil. CMC 3 or less is also desirable for the Zur the Enchanter...

    The Black Cube

    Enchantments Looking at enchantments. Again, seeking to increase the density of enchantments while having a only handful of narrow payoffs. Looks easy to move a lot of the removal to white enchantments. The black enchantment creatures are mostly great. Green doesn't look at good as I expected...

    The Black Cube

    As for the artifacts, the list currently is up to 61 artifacts, plus a few cards that make artifact tokens. The only cards I'm running that explicitly need artifacts to succeed teshar, ancestor's apostle trinket mage marionette master alela, artful provocateur sharuum the hegemon scrap trawler...
