    General Silver bordered cards

    Am I wrong, or it doesn't work with charms and modal spells since you choose the modes as you cast them? The only one that should work is Intuition I think, because the number of cards is something that can be changed after the spell is on the stack

    General Removal density

    I tried doing this but I had lots of questions so this is the breakdown (384 cube). I didn't count bounce: • true removal: 68 • counterspells: 11 • non-creature removal (balance, disenchant, armageddon): 15 Counting everything it's 24-25%, so pretty in line with the forum's average

    General Silver bordered cards

    I love them! I think that not enough people play with cards like those, the mystery booster test cards and the conspiracy stuff. I think that even in a "traditional" cube they could be easily played, it could be interesting to see what are the most fun and what are completely broken

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    Why don't you want Lava Spike combo? It's really fun and "fair" in contrast with other combos

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    So right now we already have a strictly better Shock, the best version ever of Terror-style removals, a powerful variant on Opt and… it’s just the first day

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Oops yeah my bad, too many good games ;) even though instead of Scopa I usually play Scopone Scientifico that's a regional variant with 9 cards instead of 3

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Yeah, Italy! I think the origin of Burraco is south American, but I don't know exactly the history of the game I have a similar thought, in my opinion in Magic it's easier to see the "best" lines, or at least to avoid very bad plays. But maybe it's just because I played a lot more Magic than...

    Exactly my same thought. Most of these cards seem like that they could easily be printed (in black or silver border), but they made them slightly different just to show “See? We can make unique digital cards that don’t work in paper!”

    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    Chess is great when you don’t play to win (so, when you and your opponent both aren’t that good). When it becomes too strategic it becomes less fun, also because it’s a perfect information game with a predetermined set of rules, so by Zermelo’s theorem (1913) there exists an optimal strategy...

    General We Make The Cube

    I’m voting for 375 The only issue I could see is if we add a second Booster Tutor, and a third, and so on

    General We Make The Cube

    With Booster Tutor in the cube we should finish at 375 though, right?

    I thought about re-adding Kabuto Moth but... yeah, now that Iname is gone, maybe the Spirit subtheme is not as strong... but someday it will come back to some cube ;) Can I add this guy? Richard Garfield, Ph.D. In case, I'm tagging @Velrun and @Jason Waddell

    Still, the new mechanics seem all something that could exist in paper Magic, but they tweaked it in a proper way exactly to make them feel different.

    Let's try this card, I never played it but seems interesting: Form of the Mulldrifter Tagging @LadyMapi and @landofMordor

    Every time I see one of these cards I think “I would very happy if they tried a bit more and did something like this that worked in paper, too”. The token cards aren’t new, there is Time Sidewalk and I think they could have done it in paper, too. The “seek” mechanic is a thing that’s comparable...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    In my opinion, X=3. But it could even be 2 if you want it symmetrical (Karplusan Forest vs Grove of the Burnwillows is a 1-to-1 trade)

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Invigorate maybe? Otherwise you can do something like “as an additional cost to cast this spell, you can pay {b}. If you don’t, each opponent gains 4 life”
