Great finds! Maybe one of you can take a look at Zero and tell us all what I missed. It seems like you two might be better at the job than I am. Keep up the good work! Ps. Can someone link me to the template used on Recall Forgotten Eons?

Okay it seems like there is a major gap between the best and the worst set when it comes to quality :P I have been looking at the set Zero and it doesn't really have much to share. Most of the cards seem outdated, too texty or just lazy design. The art doesn't share one, two, three of four...

I'll upload the cards I like here from each set, oldest to newest. Zero will be uploaded tomorrow.

Okay cool. I have started from the bottom with the Zero set. This will take a while and I haven't seen a card I like yet. Edit: Found one I maybe like.

What is it? Is it cube-related or custom card related?

Or the big bad Humility Overwhelming Splendor The upside here compared to original Humility is that games end fast. It might be too swingy when it enters from a dying trigger.

This reminds me of a joke I need to make.. Hang on two seconds... Okay here we go, are you ready to laugh? Demonic Pact, how it should have been:

Clap, clap, clap.. (Clapping sound continues for a few minutes) What a gem! I usually don't run such sweet utility cards as custom cards in my cube because I want my customs to be supporting build-around cards (Like the colorless Demonic Pact a few pages back.) that can help bring consistency...

Well Teshar and Traxos trigger on Historic and not just artifacts. They will also trigger from Bident of Thassa. It isn’t much, I know, but it might give Bident a tiny little point. Both are interesting cards but my vote also goes to Thopter Spy Network which I absolutely love!

Do you run any Historic theme?

Coming up in 2020: Signature Spellbook Chandra

This is the reason why I play Magic! Magic is not a game per se in the classical sense. It is a game engine, where each set is a new game with new ideas to explore. We could also call them expansions but each set is so different that I am leaning towards calling them a new game every set. This...

Melek is awesome!!!! ..at 4 mana. Or maybe 5? It is certainly swingy but is also has the same ‘problem’ that is talked about here: https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/fight-club.560/page-151#post-82673 It is tough to hit instants or sorceries. Unless you shape your cube around it.

Please read my reply again. I argued to not use that kind of logic. It seems like you completely misunderstood the written words when you state that it will lead to a power max cube and ask what is the point of not running the actual strongest card. I gave the answer: “Instead think if this...

There will always be a ‘strongest’ card. If you pull this one out, then you will come back in two weeks and ask the same question about a new strongest card. If you cut cards for being too strong then you are following the Power-Max logics where they are also focusing on power levels of a card...

So lets have it.. How many bears do you see in the art? Maybe that game was only fun fifteen years ago.. Also I love Mirari as a set logo. I wish I could include a card from Odyssey.

No activation cost and no way out. However hidden in that ‘No activation cost’ is the following: Phyrexian Arena is a looot better than Underworld Connections because it doesn’t cost 1 mana each turn. Just a friendly heads up :)

Can someone else recommend it too? Anyone else having experience with Bramble Sovereign?

But.. anyone still using that.. It seems like it will only help thinning out in the amount of content this site will have. Threads, articles and discussions etc.

Can you use this art? It is not a fan art but an artwork painted by the original artist as a tribute to the card during its release. He just wanted to paint her in two different ways. The original is copy-righted by Wizards and the second by Steve Argyle.
