    General Building cubes for newer players, Cubing minimalism

    I chuckled way too hard over that pun :) Edit: Hahahahahahaha :D I searched for a Karsten article on Grizzly Bears to Forest ratios and it actually exists! http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/frank-analysis-is-playing-more-than-60-cards-always-a-bad-idea/ The article itself is...

    This is true, and it makes me sad, because I run Murders instead of Swords to Plowshares, so my nice black-bordered portal copy of Armageddon is gathering dust :'(

    360 Grizzly Bears. Somebody do it, now! Edit: Try it out now!

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Cumulative upkeep -- Put the top card of your library into your graveyard. That sounds awesome :) X = 1: 1 (turn 3) > 3 (turn 4) > 6 (turn 5, first activation) > 10 (turn 6) > 15 (turn 7) > 21 (turn 8, tricky) > 28 (turn 9, dead if you don't sac it, so activate before not paying upkeep) X =...

    Card/Deck Vamps

    I cut Pox long ago. Yes it's funny when it comes together, but it's totally poisonous.

    Omg, tempest art in the new border. I am going to faint! Is that a mockup or is it from a real set? I don't recognize the expansion symbol. Edit: *cries* Tempest Remastered, an online only set :'(

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    That's a good one! Ok, probably switching over to the +1/+1 counter suggestion. For the wording I came up with "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to ~, you gain that much life, and that creature's controller loses that much life." Changing the name to Lingering Legion because I like...

    The 'Draw-a-Card' cube

    Cycling lands are consistently picked in my Utility Land Draft, despite apparently better options. Having to pick them in draft over a nonland card seems iffier though.

    Depends on the number of artifact and enchantment creatures in your cube I would say. Exiling two creatures for five mana is pretty brutal, exiling a creature and another permanent seems more fair. You can also make it a sorcery, instants usually have to be slightly more expensive.

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    I had a reply ready, but then my browser decided not to cooperate. It's as if the software conspires against you Lucre! ;) Anyway, I know how you feel. When you design a cool card you want others to sing their praises too! It's just awesome when someone else likes your designs! I think I...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    "Until end of turn, creatures you control can attack as though they had haste." Shorter, but yeah, that works. It's not very pretty, but it works. May I suggest putting this as the first mode?: "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control this turn, it gains haste until end...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Well, sacrificing lands is usually the easiest, come a certain part of a match, so I wanted to make that option a little bit less appealing. It's a bit strange, but it's also pretty unique, and fun to play around with I think. Combines well with Tectonic Edge for example. I could make it "put a...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Well, we got a challenge on our hands then, haven't we? I have done my best to include aggro-friendly lands in previous iteration, and aggro certainly was viable there. There's always drafters that pick up every land they see and try to play five-color good stuff, and, well.. That's okay too I...

    So sad that the haste granting doesn't work with casting a new creature off the {r}{r}{r}{r}{r} :(

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    It's a Body Double that also zombifies a creature. I don't really see where the memory issue would come in, and since it reanimates the creature it copies, imprinting it won't work. Could you clarify what you mean? It's going to be a 450 card 5 3-color-combinations set. There is no Grixis in...

    Thanks! I've redesigned the Speaker of the Dead and opened up a new slot at {U}{B}{G}. How about these?

    General Cockatrice cube draft?

    In Jason's case it's clearly a stoppim, not a stopper ;)

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Thanks! And yeah, I wanted to go in that direction. Innocent Blood isn't really a red effect though, how about a spin on Braids, Cabal Minion? Think of one! :D

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Ok, I think I need to redesign these two. Esper has more than enough creatures and doesn't really want more. I think I'll make him into a legendary artifact instead. I have some ideas... Zotan seems too brutal. Sure, he might whack yourself once, but how is your opponent going to defend...
