Saw a friend of mine (Christopher Larsen who just won Grand Prix Portland two days ago) like this article on Facebook and as I started reading, I could not stop. So here it is for you guys if you're interested in math and math combined with cube-potential cards...

Exactly the same here. Our cube environment has changed a few cards that WotC made because the cards were interesting enough but either too strong/weak. But we never change the actual keyword mechanic. It’s usually the converted mana cost or some other minor stuff that feels more streamlined...

Oh man now I really want to run that card because I’m the one who tries to force 5-color without actually making the deck good :(

And for your information: You simply CANNOT go with the flavor text “Bolas remade this place in his image. He has the advantage here. We must approach carefully." —Jace Beleren” You will have to go with the old Portal/Commander 2013 art and flavor.

I am in love with the idea of the Confluences even though I do not run all five of them. They all have a home somewhere and the green might have a home in your cube. The third ability is actually quite useful IF your deck has some of the incredibly expensive and overpowered creatures if you’re...

Once again: Thank you for that!

Do it! :) By the time I have finished my article blog (I am probably the only writer in the world who is slower than my biggest love Mr. George Raymond Richard Martin) you will have tested a few different designs and we can compare results :) Chris I would love to see which other scrolls you have!

I did and I do. My cube has quite many features where scrolls are a small portion of those. I mainly use scrolls to give Izzet Spells a little more gas and it works perfectly. It’s interesting, fun, creative and reward skillfull players (constructing the right set-up rewards strategic players...

I feel like there should be quite many more Hosts than Augments. Not only because you cannot start drafting Augments unless you have either already drafted a Host card or you know it's going to happen but also because you cannot cast your Augment cards unless you have a Host on the...

I must admit it is not very clean to have one effect affecting globally and three effect affecting only you.. ..but how are we else going to portray this world-dominating artifact locking planeswalkers from planeswalking?

Veteran Motorist - Creature - Boros - Good but not broken - Does something interesting (if you ask me.) with vehicles. - Even a little build-around. (I use it to easier enable Jeskai Miracles) - Aggro-playable

Blinking is an issue but I also dislike cards that simply look stupid IRL or when cards have effects that can’t be used like Daretti, Scrap Savant. It can steal one of the five phases: - Beginning - Precombat Main - Combat - Postcombat Main - Ending Stealing resolves in two things: Opponent...

Very, very true!

Sorry. Didn’t mean Jugan is a bad design. My bad if it came out like that. I feel like flying is off-color in green. There is exactly 29 different green creatures in Magic history with flying. Since after Tarkir block 2014 they have not printed any green creature with flying. It’s super rare :P

Personally I dislike off-color evasion. Flying is only in green when there flavorwise is no way around it like with a few bees throughout Magic history or when it’s part of a cycle like this one. It’s like Maro says: When you design a cycle, there is always one or two cards that are going to be...

Fine by me :) I am not including such cards in my cube either. At least not very much and not as a supported archetype. However in my opinion it is still Magic because.. you know.. they're Magic cards ;) Anyways let’s move on. Dromoka is awesome.

I am worried this card is too good. If not it might actually be quite interesting. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with flavor text having an influence on the game. It’s just a habbit that it shouldn’t but we can change that slowly over time :)

We finally have a Mimic <3

Aren’t we getting too old to still call it non-Magic when we play Magic cards like Winter Orb, Tangle Wire, Wasteland etc.? I mean it is Magic. Even though some people don’t like that part of the game.

And the lame part is that mode 2 is the only Un-mode.
