I don't like too many of these, because als Vel said, they take up mental space. The only one I currently run is Dealbroker. I like the trading mini game after the draft, as it reminds me a bit of the good ol' times when you would actually trade for cards (with little knowledge of their actual...

It feels a bit like wildfire. You want something that survives that and then you'll probably win the game from there. While I don't like monarch for 1 vs. 1 in most cases, I think I'd be fine with it here. Also, you gotta love Seb.

I found a card that is certainly playable, but I don't really know where. Invasion Plans I really like cards like that, which shake up the rules of the game symmetrically for everyone. I can imagine this one being fun (which is rare for an old red card, those were mostly direct damage and bad...

One day golems/populate will be a real archetype for {g/w}

Okay friends, I am looking for white cards that synergize with equipment. It can be either because they name them (Stoneforge Mystic), because they just require a single artifact (Stone Haven Pilgrim), or because they like to get pumped (cheap double strikers etc.). Just hit me with everything...

Oh, I can imagine something like this working with a higher power level, but I don't see it as necessary for my cube. But thinking over morph support, how would this card work? Gruesome Slaughter would my Ruthless Ripper keep the ability when I flip it over? I don't think this card is any...

Morphs add a layer of secrecy and surprise, that's where their fun potential comes from. But the morph mechanic gives you much more, as you already stated. Additionally ou get hand disruption-safe instant abilities that can't be countered, and it is also a smoothing mechanic, as you can always...

Just an experiment, but I'm not too happy with it. You know when a card I like mechanically is ugly (m15 rare frame is enough for me to say that), I either alter it or make a high quality proxy. When a card is very expensive I go straight with option B. But I try to give those cards something to...

Quick question: Is it ovious enough that this card here is white?

Last time I checked, a 2/2 still trades with a 3/2. I think a common baseline of 3 mana 2/3s would be more problematic for morphs. That being said, I am careful with high stats on creatures anyway and my cube is in fact about morph - at least a little bit. I run Vesuvan Shapeshifter, Ixidron...

Why do you think morph is bad in cubes in general?

Riptide Survivor Could this guy be a legit representative of our holy halls in a lower powered environment (with a morph theme to boot)? He'll trade with x/2 and can draw you 1-3 cards before doing so if you can make him survive a little bit. He's a survivor after all.

I agree with your second point. However, that is why I don't think Duals+Fetch is a healthy mana base. Even when you're high powered. If your main goal is fun I'd not recommend fetches paired with untapped fetchable duals.

Viable means for me, that the deck will come together to some degree and never be a trainwreck. From experience I tried to create a formula for that. I take every crucial key part of a theme or archetype and note how many cards I want in my deck to play that role. Example for a full blown...

I don't like every new design paradigm in mtg today, but shifting away from land destruction is a good idea. I cut everything except Wildfire and Confiscate. The reason: In my experience the risk of destroying the fun of someone who happened to just draw one source of a color is not worth...

Demonic Knowledge 2B Enchantment When etb draw 3 cards. At the beginning of your endstep, lose 2 life for each card in your hand. No one interested in demonic pacts little brother here?

Who will you play your cube with? My girlfriend and a semi regular group of potentially up to 9 other people (usually we draft with 2-6 people) How experienced is your average player? 2 are enfranchised and experienced, the rest mostly newbies/irregular players How will the cube be drafted and...

How many creatures are too many? Blue is the only color in my cube where creatures make up less than 50 percent of the color's section (49%). White, black and red are around 60 to 61% (not counting token making spells, which would bring red and white to something around 68%. Green is the...

I must be pretty low with my Casual Champions Cube. I don't run planeswalkers, don't run double faced cards, and I have a faible for ckean and simple designs anyway. Also, we shouldn't forget, that cards can have only a short, single ability and be still pretty skill intensive. On the other...

That sounds like a slam dunk. Can you give me a source for this? I haven't seen it among the leaks. Edit: Just found it. Her name is Aesi and I love her.
