    It’s the difference between in-game lore and out-of-game lore. Into the Roil has art that depicts an event on a Magic plane. Blink of an Eye makes a reference to a word play with its art.

    About Astral Cornucopia If you want a kicker variant, there is now an almost strictly upgrade from Zendikar Rising Skyclave Relic

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Good questions. There aren’t really any issues or problems but I thought there was an opportunity so I came up with some ideas and wanted to test them. I guess I wouldn’t mind cutting of a few minutes from each game but I don’t want to leave the control players absolutely defenceless against the...

    Okay thanks guys. I have been Brainstorming a lot of ideas and I thank you for your input. I agree that the best way to shorten games are the actual cards in the cube. Okay one final question/poll: How much starting life would you personally say is fair to begin each game with (in your cube)...

    Okay fair Like you said you assumed the mulligan phase only included players looking at 7 cards with 6 spells and 1 land. And you assumed that my ‘homies’ as you called them would take unnecessary long to decide to keep that hand or not. I highly doubt this is the issue. Were you just trying to...

    That’s a weird assumption to make with no data to back it up :p I don’t even know who I’m playing with since we are often doing open tournaments. So weird to assume that the people I know have trouble evaluation one-landers. It can be difficult to share an idea on this forum because people...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Please explain the relevance. We are debating how to shorten the time it takes for players to go from the mulligan phase to the start of the game. In case you didn’t know: If a player decides to take a mulligan, they have to shuffle all their cards together and redraw a new hand of 7 cards. I...

    How about the idea I posted about putting the 7 cards you don’t keep on the bottom? And thus no shuffle.

    Yeah I guess it mitigates the ‘non-games’ if we can call them that. However wouldn’t it lower the time people spend during the mulligan phase since much fewer players would decide to take a mulligan not that they have access to two starting hands?

    Backup Plan What would be the ramifications of giving one of these to each player before the tournament? My goal is to shorten the average game length (minutes, not turns). Would this succeed or actually make games last longer on average? Another idea is to give that ability to everyone but...

    Wizards just discovered a new business model: Hire stealthy anti-thiefs to infiltrate ordinary houses and place randomly TWD cards all over the place. Kind of like a Santa Claus you pay to deliver the gifts.

    I thought they wouldn’t print Rick. At least he is the best of the cards. But again, like TekLazar said, that doesn’t help the overall product. I worry some people run a Human deck and want this card in.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I have always hated that card but I think I am bias from Urza's Destiny Standard. Back then creature decks were outnumbered by combo and control decks and even though I mostly enjoyed control decks, it was still too hurtful in my opinion to have a single card poop on all creature decks. It was...

    I didn’t know this. Thanks for bringing this up Chris! I mean Wizards officially printed a 1 mana spell in black that draws 7 cards. But it got banned pretty quick :P

    I just want to say that I think it is a great idea to create this thread! I can’t even remember how many times in the past I have wanted to implement certain features from a Standard or Extended deck into my cube! Psychatog (Invasion-Odyssey with Fact or Fiction Mono Black Braids UG Madness...

    Not a lot of gems among this pile of shit :P The topic should probably be in the Custom section. I kind of liked the cycle of dual lands at the bottom of the list but find it hard to execute properly. Example of one:

    General Secret Lair Spoilers

    Yeah I agree. I believe it is almost 95 % negative feedback. However there is a risk that Wizards only care about Secret Lair revenue and these will, like all the others, most likely sell out. I did very much enjoy Secret Lair skins even though I haven’t seen any for my cube yet but the...
