Another possibility (which honestly might be on the "fairer" side of things): Mawloc On the one hand, you do need to actually spend 5 mana to trigger the card draw. On the other hand, X spells just fit wherever on the curve.

Yeah, I feel like an important thing to keep in mind about a 15-card format is that after you draw your starting hand your remaining deck is roughly a fourth of the size of a 40-card deck (8 remaining cards vs. 33 remaining cards). That said, I think a cube trying to emulate constructed might...

Triumph of Saint Katherine and Alchemist's Greeting are a pair of keywords you've missed. And there's always Dream Halls if you want to get really crazy with it.

Ugh, I just had an idea that's so much cooler than my current entry. Back to the drawing board. On an unrelated note, I dare someone to make this an archetype in your entry: Advantageous Proclamation

I see your Sound the Call micro-archetype and I salute you. (Needs more Wolf Tribal.)

So, everyone, I have a dilemma: Surging Flame Surging Flame Surging Flame vs. Stomping Slabs Stomping Slabs

I feel like seeding lands or customizing the basic land box is fine - it's mostly to stop people like me from including weird rules that make the cube tricky to assess during voting. Bear in mind that 15 card decks mean that people will be running 5-6 lands and effectively see their entire deck...

I honestly wonder how viable that kind of strategy would be in a cube that wasn't as defensively skewed as a sudden death cube (where a core part of the gameplay is "prevent villain from hitting you")? The second player getting eight turns to kill you is entirely reasonable if you've got a more...

I feel like it reduces spice a little because only having 15 cards to work with adds a sense of urgency to the game. Who knows - if I end up including one of my favorite dumb archetypes (Serene Remembrance + Surging Flame my beloved) I might go with it because Serene Remembrance throws the turn...

You could also do something with shapes and treatments - commons don't get any stickers, uncommons get a dot, rares get a star, and mythics are blinged out copies (which also gives your drafters a bit of an "ooh, caught a shiny!" feeling when they show up in packs).

A few questions: Does the cube have to be a draft cube, or could we, say, make a cube split into two 36-card Sealed pools? Do we have to use the "players cannot lose by decking" rule? I've always felt like that was a bit of a cop-out. On that note... custom cards aren't allowed, but what about...

These seem related. Congrats for getting in!

The difference is because "is:booster" will OK the card if it has ever shown up in a booster in any set, while "in:booster" appears to be more specific to the set itself (at least, that's what it looks like after playing around a bit). To see this, search for "Angelic Destiny" in:booster and...

I honestly think I'm done with Magic. I was starting to get back into things because one of my coworkers is getting into playing and I thought it might be fun to play in paper again for a change... but I just can't justify my emotional investment in Magic to myself anymore. It's been a good run...

Something very silly I've noticed about Inspiring Statuary is that it turns powerstones into actual factual mana rocks. Do with this information what you will.

The one thing I'll say in Riddleform's favor is that it tends to dodge sorcery speed removal and wraths.

Manifest Dread Harrowing Swarm Hmm... ... Part of me is intrigued by some of the cards that conjure specific cards into your hand: Dragonfly Pilot Dragonfly Suit Emporium Thopterist Ornithopter Kami of Bamboo Groves Forest Has anyone given these little guys a try?
