    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Yeah well in my cube (And I am not saying I have the only truth or anything, lol) you had to spend three picks so to speak. A Fantasy Coin you could only get from booster packs and they were drafted like any other card. So getting a Fantasy Coin would mean giving up on drafting another card...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I used to run these 5 in The Marketplace which was a sort of Utility Land Draft. Booster packs for my cube used to have 14 cards and 1 speciel custom card called Fantasy Coin that could be used to purchase items from The Marketplace. Most items on the Marketplace was either colorless...

    General New Format: Pioneer

    A word of advice: If you are worried about spending money on buying cards that might get banned in this super new format where Wizards have stated that bans could happen often in these early days..then won’t buy any cards yet. Wait till the format has settled.

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    I am not sure I understand the flavor behind an instant or sorcery with escape. It escapes for a second only to return to the dead?

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    OMG now me too! That is also what I want after reading that. And I don’t even mind that blue black enchantment to also be a creature since we are on Theros. Show me in (ci-form) which Zur enchantments you are running!

    General Looking to build an Unstable cube

    I have always had Super-Duper Death Ray in here and never understood the weird fascination with Crow Storm which was more of a bad pun than a functional card. And spell trample is cool, fun and actually works fine in cube. There are some cards in Unstable that are quite interesting because...

    Ooops, my bad. I have happily forgotten original Nissa :D

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Funny little thing to note: The original Elspeth Elspeth, Knight-Errant was from the second wave of planeswalkers. She was the first one (and only one for maaaaaaany years) that didn’t have a minus ability but instead had two plus abilities. She could only go up in loyalty. This new one can...

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    Sagas: Great to see those back. This will probably help Historic themes in cubes. We now have at least one Saga with 4 chapters and it is uncommon. An advanced and expensive Preordain. Really cool. Devotion is back. I am thinking of Pioneer here and on some of you devotion-Riptide cubers. Also...

    Urza, Lord High Artificer https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Insight/Articles/Urza-Decks-in-Modern-Whirza-Outcome-and-Ascendancy I am a huge fan of this card. Like Yawgmoth, Wizards delivered. For anyone interested or wants to be tempted, this article is describing what Urza can do in a 60...

    I guess screw everything, right? ;) Why even give cards mana cost or art?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    The tiebreaker should clearly be Wizards of the Coast. They have only printed Aftermath cards with X to Y And not X to YZ Born (X) to be (Y) Wild (Z) Summon (X) to War (Y) Maybe someone can find a better X to Y than Summon to War. That was the best I got :P

    Thank you GalacticTraveler12. Nobody else could write that better. I think you defeated your own statement in one short sentence. If there is a reason Wizards of the Coast stopped printing Birds of Paradise in Standard, then why have they printed Gilded Goose? If your answer is to say...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Yeah but during Amonkhet block it was 1 word (to) 1 word. Not 1 word (to) 2 words. So Born (to) be Wild doesn’t work if we are using Amonkhet as a template. I suggest: Summon (to) War

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    The card is definitely more Riptide if we look past the fact that it is a custom card. And it will also play better for a deck that would want either cards. I think the name sounds like a joke. It reminds me too much of the 1968’th pop song ‘Born to be Wild’ by Steppenwolf. If this is the true...

    General Fight Club

    Do we really need to slot in 9-14 creature spots in order to get a Birthing Pod to work? You give them 4? I give them 2 for one pick.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Well alright :) I think what makes the new ones (Drake Haven etc.) better and easier to build around is the fact that they trigger from discard and not from cycle. Compare these two with the two I posted above. Lightning Rift and Astral Slide

    How many of each mana cost would you include in your Pod deck. 1: 0 2: Any number, doesn’t matter 3: 2 4: 2 5: 2 6: 1 Something like that?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Design challenge Madness enchantment Design a mono-red 3 mana enchantment in the same family as these two: Drake Haven Faith of the Devoted Red already has Lightning Rift but it doesn’t trigger from discard in general and it doesn’t cost 3 mana. White has Astral Drift which I might change...
