    Card/Deck Prison in Cube

    I always forget about Manabarbs. That card is actually pretty interesting. I think you can throw Ankh of Mishra into that group as well. They both have nice compatibility with aggro, too. Damage-based prison sounds reasonable to me since your opponent arguably maintains free range of...

    Spell damage +1 ala Hearthstone I'm OK with "borrowing" some of Hearthstone's more interesting ideas

    General Brainstorming Spatial Draft Formats

    How about this: 8 x 8 grid of cards face-down Each player has x meeples of their own color (let's say x = 6) On your turn, you can place a meeple from your supply (or from the grid if your supply is empty) on any vertex. This action uncovers any cards around this vertex (1 to 4 cards)...

    General Utility Everything Draft

    This idea has been brought up before: can we find a reasonable way to include nonland cards in the Utility Land Draft that are interesting, but much too narrow to occupy regular cube slots? Currently, the way I run my ULD is to have certain cards during the draft that allow you to search...

    Also, flash blocker even for only 1 more damage isn't nothing. He's not amazing but I could see him at home in certain cubes. Definitely more useful than Willbender, at the very least.

    Those last few images really do seem "dream-like." Kinda creepy. I don't think we'll bother with exploring the galaxy once these networks have generated a billion virtual worlds for us to explore instead.

    Wait, isn't that Relic Hunter just without the sweet stoneforge ability? Edit: looks like it will be called Relic Seeker, and it does not have vigilance. I'm still more interested in that than Topan Freeblade, personally.

    General How to execute a minimalist Artifact theme

    I pretty much agree with this except battle ball is a bit gigantic as a reanimate target for my tastes (and also semi-resilient to removal since it leaves four guys behind) and duplicant is a desirable artifact to recur over and over.

    Man, I was already pretty excited for this, but now I can barely contain myself.

    The Board Game Thread

    I picked up Roll for the Galaxy a couple months ago and have really been enjoying that. Even if you already own Race, it's different enough that owning both doesn't feel too redundant. It's a bit more intuitive than Race, which does alleviate the intense learning curve for new players somewhat.

    I really like the "make a legendary creature token" concept on Nissa. It seems like a natural way to curb the issue of planeswalkers making way too many tokens.

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    Great thread, safra. I'm really glad you brought up Vintage Slaver since that's the sort of thing I've been tinkering with recently. It began as desperately trying to find ways to make red more interesting, but then remembering how fun welder is I realized that an artifact theme centered...

    It is a bit narrow but I think it's mostly interchangeable with roleplayers such as Hellrider & Hero of Oxid Ridge. I would be happy to have one in almost any aggro deck. I suppose it's true that something like Hellrider is safer in something like counter-burn, but to be honest that's not an...

    Let me be honest, I expected it from Mouth to Mouth. After checking that I assumed I was safe. But then you got me.

    I think they're straight wrong about that. It's near the top of the curve in aggro, so you just play it last.
