Yeah, in my experience casual players don't tend to splurge on cards unless they're "high impact immediately win the game" effects like Dockside Extortionist. Mana Crypt? Mana Vault? Why would they spend money on mana when they could buy more cards they think are "actually good" like Delney...

Card evaluation is tough, especially in the context of Cube. Undervaluing or overestimating cards is trivially easy, especially when you aren't a very experienced designer. It's ok to make mistakes! However, it is important to understand what you got wrong, why you felt the way you did, and how...

Urza's Saga, no contest. It's a colorless build-around!

Rhaenys: The CubeCon Submission Update The Update That Never Was This update existed purely for the submission to Cubecon 2024. The Cubecon submission version is unlikely to ever be played since both Modern Horizons 3 and Bloomburrow were released since I finalized this update back in April...

Here's another Highball pack: Thought Scour Dust Animus Tezzeret, Artifice Master Mosswood Dreadknight Walking Ballista Creeping Tar Pit Ob Nixilis Reignited Silent Clearing Cave of the Frost Dragon Borborygmos and Fblthp Ponder Krark, the Thumbless Clifftop Retreat Rabbit Battery Blood Crypt...

1st: Taiga or Dragon's Rage Channeler. Last: Error 404 Terrible Card not found. Maybe Recommision? It seems supported here though. 1st: Six (For funsies, I'm not 100% sure it's better than my second choice). 2nd: Luminarch Aspirant 3rd: Kitsa, Otterball Elite Last: Parallax Tide or Smokestack ...

Here's another pack from my Cube: Ziatora's Proving Ground Clifftop Retreat Ranger-Captain of Eos Thunderbreak Regent Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis Realm-Cloaked Giant Siege Rhino Firebolt Sprite Dragon Reckoner Bankbuster Gingerbrute Unearth Watery Grave Elspeth, Sun's Champion Jetmir's Garden...

I think Tarn is a good pick here. However, I think I may also take Demonic Tutor over the land. DT is the best spell in the entire Cube, and while I think taking the fetchland is very good, there are also 14 (soon to be 19) other fetches in circulation. It's definitely not an easy choice! I...

Here's a pack from my Cube at present: Leyline Binding Maul of the Skyclaves Rakdos Cackler Thought Scour Elvish Mystic Tarmogoyf Archangel of Wrath Bring to Light Scalding Tarn Demonic Tutor Silent Clearing Push // Pull Prismatic Ending Commune with the Gods Portable Hole Cube Thread Cube List

Thanks for making the thread Ravnic! From this pack, I would pick:

I'm banking on a Non-Binary Ace Grave Titan...

If you're looking for cool cards that do something similar but work within the normal 5 color system, might I suggest: Vendillion Clique Charging Monstrosaur

My favorite of these cards is Malcom since he can be a true threat in addition to providing some cool card advantage. Shoreline Looter is a fine version of this effect and the only version that isn't overly wordy or uses an obscure keyword. I would rank them as follows: Malcom, Alluring...

I will add it to the short list!

I totally agree! It doesn't help that most of the energy cards in MH3 were specifically meant to go into a deck that only cared about energy. At least in Kaladesh (and the Fallout Commander set to a much lesser extent), there were a couple of other themes that the energy deck was meant to cross...

That's cool! I've always enjoyed Araumi, but I feel like she is on a much lower level than the Emperor and the Squirrel. I'm not sure she complements them well...

@gaytransmulldrifter I heard your hot take for MH3 in the most recent Lucky Paper Radio episode! I agree with your point, especially the one at the end about freeing Palestine. Energy naturally asks players to draft as many energy producers as possible and figure out what to do with it from...

I agree! Some members of the cycle felt like fairly clean general roleplayers, while others felt fairly specific to the archetype they were trying to support. I don't think that's an issue for cycles in general, it just feels a little weird this time around since this is only the second "hybrid...

I was considering doing the same thing with these, until I found out that it is a single, double-sided card instead of two separate cards. I was super hyped about this secret lair until I found out the sparrow was just randomly a DFC of the same card. Would it have really killed them to give us...
