    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Maybe I could use painlands, but my gut feeling says I want two fetchables for every fetchland. I could be wrong though, maybe a 1:1 relation is okay as well? You can always fetch a basic if need be, but at that point it doesn't really 'fix' your mana in case of color intensive cards. Also, I...

    Alphez's first Cube! Suggestions are very welcome :)

    Did two drafts, of wildly varying power level, I think? The first draft was really weird, I kept getting cut on colors, so I kept changing. In the end a decent-ish Temur deck came out. I guess? The second draft was more focused (with Grafted Wargear wheeling, really?) and looks pretty vicious...

    They're basically fetch-painlands, yes. I don't want them to be always painful though, I'm okay with them being "strictly better" than the painlands (corner cases like Tamanoa notwithstanding). I don't want my players to die to their three City of Brass limited decks because they draw the wrong...

    Yeah, that is a problem. It's also a land that favors non-aggro decks, which I also don't like. The list of requirements to fit this design hole (sorry Safra!) is pretty hard to meet. The new land should: Be fetchable, i.e. have one or more basic land types. Fix for two colors. Be able to add...

    Thinking of adding another dual to my cube that produces {c} as well, because 10 seems a bit short? Flat Mountains Land - Mountain Plains ({t}: Add {r} or {w} to your mana pool.) Flat Mountains enters the battlefield tapped. When Flat Mountains enters the battlefield, add {c} to your mana pool...

    I cut Whip because board wide lifelink sloooooows down games. The other cards are currently in my cube!

    Demonic Pact I cut this in my last update because I had to make room, and this feels like it's one of those cards that is a blast to play with if you can draft around it, but is just so hard to do so, especially if this gets openend in pack 2 or 3. What are your experiences with/thoughts on...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Thanks for the drafts so far everyone! If I haven't drafted your cube, it's because I'm a little bit strapped for time at the moment. I'll get to that eventually, promise! :)

    Frontier Bivouac of course! But why is that an issue? Since I don't support Temur in my cube, there isn't a functional equivalent of Crumbling Haven in those colors in my cube ;)

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    The Oath updat is live! Lots of new cards and a revamped mana base. I cut the Utility Land Draft to speed up the draft portion, and introduced colorless mana to my three-color themed cube... Drafting a three-color card (hybrids not included) will now earns you a corresponding (custom) tri-land...

    Well... The new cube is up on CT. I've reset the pick orders because there's so many new cards, so this deck was built with 14th pick Kitchen Finks and the like, but it gives a good idea of what I want the decks to be able to end up like. I intend to give everyone who picks a true three-color...

    I wish they had worded cohort as "{t}, Tap an untapped creature that shares a creature type with <cardname>" instead of only working with allies :/

    Now all you need to do is decapitalize Ignite(d) in your reminder text sigh ;)

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Ah, good catch! You should word your examples as "When ~ becomes ignited" though, because you can activate that ability multiple times, and it will still trigger each time the way you worded it ;) Edit: All of your examples are sweet by the way!

    I'ld template it as: Ignite <cost> (This creature becomes ignited. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.) And then you can word your example as: {r}{g}: Ignite Woodland Crasher gets +2/+2 and has trample as long as it's ignited. 3/3 Much cleaner that way :) Edit: the reason...

    You could probably template this off monstrous. Also, Bloodfire Dancer should gain trample imo, it's going to die anyway, so first strike doesn't do a lot (except against other first strikers).
