    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Plays better than it looks, I think I usually get 2-4 cards/damage out of it OR the opponent uses a removal spell for it. Gets bonus points if you have madness synergies, but it doesn't need it to be good. The "discard your hand" clause is relevant though, obviously, as you don't want to use...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    How good is this girl? Glint-Sleeve Siphoner I recently added her, but I fear she might turn out to be a little too good as a card advantage engine for just 2 mana that probably also has good evasion (I tend to undervalue Menace). And I am not sure I want to have better Dark Confisant variant...

    General Exes Archetype

    Honestly, I would only add Unbound Flourishing as a build around (because it is monocolored and doesn't die to creature removal), and try to get as many generally useful X spells into your list as possible without stepping on the toes of other archetypes. There are Hydras, removal spells, card...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Do you think a Pokémon-like evolution ability could work for a Magic set? Sadly the name evolve was already taken, but I tried to template something: Growing Sapling G Creature - Treefolk Reach 4GG: Grow this creature into Seasoned Treefolk. (Exile this creature and put the named card onto the...

    Okay, I have an interesting one. Do you know any cool artworks for clue tokens?

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Oh, yeah I would love to participate! It's not like I don't design customs, I just don't want to mix them into my cube. Will you make sure we won't miss more information regarding the contest? :)

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Sorry Onde, maybe my words came off a little rude, I didn't intend to insult anyone and I know that you and other put a lot of work, thought and time into your customs. But in general I'm sticking with what I said. Because, in theory, when you habe limited resources to solve a problem, it is...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    But the puzzle is the cube one creates. It is very difficult, but can be switched into easy mode by customizing things. It's like cheat codes in Grand Theft Auto. Just my 2cents.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    If you're cube is not too fast, I had some success with this thing in my simic hybrid slot. Spitting Image Turning every top deck land into the best creature on the battlefield is a pretty resilient way to take over the late game. I could tell you a sweet story involving Spitting Image and...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'm against mechanically changing cards or adding customs for my cube personally, as it feels like cheating to solve the puzzle. But I might have a slot to test it. I love how this forum helps one to find crazy little games of old days :) Edit: 20 minutes of thinking made me realize I should...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'd cube Gurzi so hard if it was a free discard outlet, even at 5 cmc. But I might still try him someday.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    My favorite is this one: Haunted Crossroads Needs your deck to have a decent number of relevant creatures, but there are also Archaeomancer and sich to get back your noncreatures. And yes, it is not card advantage, but it's basically a Worldly Tutor, repeatable, that also prevents you...

    Hey guys, I'm looking for an artwork for some human rogue. It's a 1/1, but still mean, like he or she will cut you purse and maybe your throat. And it should look old school, like it could be on a magic card of the early days. Anyone?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Has anyone have any experience with this card in cube? Cloudstone Curio It seems like a pretty cool blink engine to build around. But maybe it asks for too much? Unlike Crystal Shard or Erratic Portal, you need 2 creatures here, preferably both with useful EtB abilities.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I recently cut FTK and Nekrataal, now I'm cubing Skirk Marauder. All based on things I read here in a thread about removal. I think this step was overdue, further flattening my power level and rewarding synergy over good stuff drafting. Catoblepas looks like a sweet design. It lets you do some...

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    Nope, the other way round, but both are very important to make the game fun for all kinds of people (what we have to do as cube managers). But I don't think mutate will make my gameplay better, like at all. Maybe a few cards would be decent in that regard, but there are other ways among the...

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    But Werebear has just one without the old frame, art and especially the flavor text, which is worth more than any messy new mechanic ;)

    Cache Riders is sweet. I'll test Mastermind first, but it is the next one on my list for the future. Thanks guys!

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    Mutate feels messy and inelegant, and also not appealing as a mechanic. But some of the designs, like the octopus, seem really cool. The reason I don't put it into my cube is the unnecessary non-human clause. I expect my newer players not to think of this all the time, when they arr already...
