    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    Ummmmmmmm BoP is a creature? Honestly that's like the only reason, you caught me XD I wanted a mana dork in Green but it might not be necessary? Also, I felt like the Moxen were kind of a trap and/or one mana rock too many when you've already got 4 lotus and 4 sol ring kicking around the draft...

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    Yeah, I'm thinking about upping the size a tad to put in Brain Freeze, Tendrils, and Grapeshot. Any suggestions for what to add in White and Green?

    General Two headed giant cube

    I love your themes, man. BFZ definitely does add a lot to a sacrifice theme, as you said. And if you're going all-custom... Zang. Slight note though: Arbor Elf can already untap a teammate's Forest. Perhaps the custom would be: Untap target land you control and target land you don't control. Eh? Eh?

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    I like the way you think, Venny! Good stuff. That sounds like a tedious-but-in-a-super-fun-way system of Cube management. Right up my alley actually. So last night I made that drunken post about a real powermax cube, and here it is: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/39911 This thing is actually...

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    Okay so on the way home from work I had the idea to make a power-max version of the squad cube. I mean i know mtgs kind of has had the lockdown on powermaxing, but not for long. I mean have you ever seen a cube with FOUR BLACK LOTUSES before? Yeah, neither has anyone, because it didn't exist...

    I second Lab Maniacs. That card is more Riptide Lab than Riptide Laboratory.

    Riptide Survivors? On topic, I went ahead and submitted my stupid Squad Cube after all. It can be cut to 360 using a method outlined in its new cube list thread, but I don't actually want to win, soooo

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    Thanks! I'm glad you are already enjoying this. 10 minutes is probably an embellished version of events, but actually picking the cards was not a long process. After all there's only 13 per color. And yes, it probably is super solvable. My best guess is that Hangarback Walker will never, ever...

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    I'm gonna reserve this post for the future, but also, I should mention that this is not a project I ever plan to make into an actual paper Cube. The purpose of the thread is mostly just to publicize the CT list so that others can enjoy the utter silliness that results from a hyper-condensed Cube...

    Blacksmithy's Squad Goals Cube

    Here's a Cube that took me all of 10 minutes to make. It was inspired by JWadd's CubeTutor Champ contest. My basic thought was "Hey let's take some cool cards and put like, a squad of them, into a cube." So this is the child of that brain fart. The list is here...

    Thankfully even CT scrubs like me can host multiple cubes, so I uploaded the above list for funsies. Sorry for totally hijacking this thread :rolleyes: Behold the Squad Goals Cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/39847

    I may actually PM it if I can come up with an argument for my card choices other than "These cards are cool so I put 4 of each into a cube, enjoy" EDIT: Nvm I don't want Champ status enough to write a bunch of BS about my (lack of) high-level thinking. I literally made that list in 10 minutes...

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    The thing about the TOL theme is it's not nearly as in-your-face as, say, Eidolon of Blossoms or Birthing Pod. Every deck naturally wants better card selection; effects that manipulate or utilize the TOL are generally already quite good. But when, in cube architecture and deckbuilding, you...

    Sets Battle for Zendikar Spoilers

    I mean, it's simple, but it replaces itself, can kill an attacking creature out of nowhere, has "blue haste," or can ramp you to 4 (surprise!). That's a lot of uses for such a simple spell. Too bad the exile gravy isn't worth {1}

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine

    I think a top-deck theme is totally doable, especially in a Riptide-style cube, but IMO you want to add support for it in Red and Black with stuff like The Good Abbot and The Bad Abbot. And Bob, and Chandra Pyromaster, and so on. Effects like Manifest, Scry, Dredge, Grisly Salvage, and so on...

    Okay, but, at what cost would "make a scion, draw a card at instant speed" be cubable? Cuz i feel like at 2 that'd be a really sweet effect.
