We've had a lot of debates recently about how much fixing to run and what it should look like, as well as the problems with certain colour pairs. A long time ago we complained about the Gravecrawler-Griselbrand problem - most Cube designers assign the same number of cards to each colour as if...

Peregrine Drake emergency banned in Pauper, lol

Scrubbed out of GP Warsaw. Doing badly at back-to-back GPs is rough, not just because of the time/money spent but because I see people I know doing well and I want to be up there too. Lessons learned: - I find travelling stressful/exhausting at the best of times, and drawn-out international...

Gonti, Lord of Luxury Gonti has been surprisingly good for me in Standard in ways that should carry over to Cube. We talk a lot about an awkward pincer movement that affects design nowadays: ETB spam is obnoxious but creatures need to be very good by themselves or leave something behind to...

how about an old classic: Fork

Categorically labelling something as GRBS is a bit misleading; is FTK much more than an efficient 2-for-1? What if there are lots of token makers, first strikers, and so on that make its body less effective, or the best midgame threats have >4 toughness? How often does Managorger Hydra get out...

I say this a lot but I'm about ready to create a new Cube or overhaul my main one just to play with all the sweet cards they print in these extra sets

Love Reyhan 《Crystalline Crawler》 (4) Converge; Crystalline Crawler enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it. Remove a +1/+1 counter from Crystalline Crawler：Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. (Ｔ)：Put a +1/+1 counter on...

oh I probably should have explained that lol those (and the fetches) are placeholders for 'shockland of your choice' and 'fetchland of your choice'

Your Cube is always fun to draft! I don't have a Pod addiction, I swear... Curious about: Skywhaler's Shot, Scour the Laboratory, Kozilek (which felt unrealistic even in the ramp decks)

I'm looking for creatures that offer substantial board presence/card advantage but not via ETB spam (so you can answer them properly with removal). Good examples are Tireless Tracker, Kalitas, Whisperwood Elemental, Meren, but other colours (especially blue/red) would be nice.

...ok, it's very possible I've been subtly/not-so-subtly suggesting to the wrong Aston that he should Cube with me the whole time. That would explain a lot.

It's not double because they can just target the same things. The card is annoyingly hard to parse in a 2-player context, and I've had players get confused by it. It's in there because: - I have a ton of utility lands so it's nice to have outs to them at a cost that doesn't feel oppressive...

It's meant to be a parody of sorts, so the language is intentionally overwrought, but still seemed relevant.

Ape/Guide are there as the 13th/14th one-drops. I'm not sure which is better. Become Immense and Ghor-Clan Rampager each complement the Rancor/Growth/Boros Charm plan but the second copy is often too clunky. Just having one in your deck makes life much harder for Villain as playing around the...

They didn't make it explicit but it was very obvious from the start.
