That's pretty irritating! That answers the question of which card I was missing out of the 162 card list.

Did you see that CubeCobra has just released a grid drafting feature that includes a 2 player local mode? Now it's easy to host a grid draft. The host shares their screen and clicks the appropriate rows for Player 2, then sends a link to the deck after the draft. Player 2 goes to that link and...

Many of these reprints tickle my artifact neurons in pleasing ways but wouldn't go so well in a cube. But reprints are always nice. The expected value looks like it will be good enough to make people crack lots of packs for singles, so we should see some nice price reductions. Vengevine and...

This modified 360 card copy of The Elegant Cube's core cards costs about 10 tickets on Magic Online. https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/mtgobudgetelegant This thread exists to discuss card choices for the cube. Budget MTGO Cube Thread...

Restoration Angel -> Glimmerpoint Stag Shivan Dragon -> Flameblast Dragon I like all of the dragons you mentioned. Flameblast Dragon might be too much of an auto win card, which is why I didn't put it in my list, but I do like its ability help one catch up from behind. Stonecloaker and...

I did a few drafts of this using the custom draft format with 4 sets, 4 packs of 8 spells followed by the land pack. I didn't feel like I was seeing enough cards to get my entire deck built. In the first two drafts, I ended up in Esper colors, and I found myself switching strategies in an...

The control stuff might just be better than the rest. It's hard for me to be objective about that, because I've been deliberately test drafting different types of decks. If you have suggestions for appealing cards that would speak to peoples' more aggressive instincts, fire away. The power...

Changes: Infuriate -> Titan's Strength Frenzied Goblin -> Tuktuk the Explorer Noose Constrictor -> Mother Bear End-Raze Forerunners -> Soul of Zendikar Removed to reduce cube to 190 cards: Niblis of the Urn Turn to Frog Champion of Dusk Tormenting Voice Plummet Meteor Golem As I take a...

Thanks for having a look. I also like the 10 card list better than any 20 card list that I can come up with right now. I'd run a guild card with a bit of extra complexity (hybrid, split, keywords, etc) if the design fit nicely enough into one of the more challenging guilds. Edric could...

Two things makes it pretty easy to get the whole list from a bot. Doing these makes it pretty easy to buy the entire cube in one visit. 1) No cards in the cube that hard to find on MTGO, such as cards exclusive to planeswalker decks. 2) Make a .dek file available that has card version info. This...

Here's a quick run at a possible 20 card gold section. Having two of each guild causes me to select them a little differently. I find Gruul, Selesnya, and Orzhov to be the most difficult. Time Wipe Empyrean Eagle Tomebound Lich Recoil Judith, the Scourge Diva Lightning Skelemental Savage...

Thanks a bunch for the drafts and comments. I swapped the image to the custom wish / untapped land just for the heck of it. Seven was a number I pulled out of nowhere because it was one less than two wilds per player, which creates competition for those lands. Maybe I need more. What number...

Has this been done before? This is what I want in multiples instead of Evolving Wilds.

Hey, Chris. You know me as Zimbardo from MTGO. This forum has a way of causing me to reevaluate my prior assumptions. I had considered MTGO rules enforcement to be purely an advantage of convenience relative to Cockatrice, but I guess it also creates drawbacks. I'm familiar with MTGO and enjoy...

Running a cube draft on MTGO is a lot simpler if you don't have to trade any cards between accounts. How does one do that? Duplicate the entire cube on each account. Most cards are cheap on MTGO. A great many cards that cost a few dollars in paper cost a few pennies online. Online Cube Cost...

Goals of latest changes: Further improve aggro relative to mid-range Add white blink targets Improve incentives to draft green Add tribal relevance for zombies and elves White: Gideon's Lawkeeper -> Dauntless Bodyguard Impassioned Orator -> Cavalry Drillmaster Fencing Ace -> Indomitable Will...

Regarding the use of 7 Evolving Wilds: (also Prismatic Lens, Mana Geode, and a few green fixers) It was mentioned that the cube might need more fixing, such as more Evolving Wilds. That might be true, but for now it's hard to figure that out, since the CubeCobra bots pick them really highly...
