    General An auto-pick in synergy's clothing

    Add to Mox Diamond... Chrome Mox I ran both of these versions in my Cube recently because they were thematic in the hellbent and lands in zones deck. But, yeah they’re still moxes! I don’t disagree with any of the others y’all have mentioned...I didn’t test some due to just assuming they...

    Yeah, sorry for lobbing a vast "what's the meaning of life" type question your way :D All good points. Thanks! I also thought Typhoon was a little dangerous in your cube at first glance. I have it slotted into my cube for now, but I don't think I love it as it has that nissa, steward of...

    General An auto-pick in synergy's clothing

    This sums it up better than I could! I think the discussion can only help map out the tipping point for some of these cards. The user manual for lower powered non-rarity restricted cubes is fuzzier and really requires ample playtesting, which (hopefully) no one is doing (irl) right now!

    General An auto-pick in synergy's clothing

    I'm coming around to cutting some of these late, because I was running the GCC at a relatively high power level with things like show and tell, fastbond, thousand-year storm, yawgmoth's bargain, tinker, etc....and thought that at the higher power level some of these cards were less auto-picky...

    Yes! I should’ve listed copter as it’s on my chopping block. For the same reasons as you described. It’s a hard cut for me because it is so tasty in the Emry dredge deck, and Key to the City is good, but boy is it a weird awkward card that irks me. I agree that there needs to be cards that...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Look at the split/aftermath cards as they have the collective cmc of both sides when not on the stack. It’s an easy way to support it without forcing it. Then maybe run vengeful rebirth if you aren’t already. Things like commit // memory gets a little nuts! There’s also vexing scuttler Elder...

    General An auto-pick in synergy's clothing

    When I first began cubing, I became aware of the idea of auto-picks and GRBS (game-ruining bull****), and that there were cards that were so format-warping that it was irresponsible to pass them...cards like Jace, Memory Adept. My next lesson in cubing was that there was another group of cards...

    I’m a big fan of moldervine cloak. Pair it with a Bloodghast-type creature and you have a pretty large recursive beater. It’s really nice in a fair way with heavy self-mill themes and stax strategies.....death cloud, etc. It’s one of the few auras I’ve found that has broad archetype appeal.

    The only other one I really like is: Rimrock knight Then there’s these: coordinated assault Expedite Otherworldly outburst Temur battle rage Raking Claws Nightbird's clutches I always secretly felt like otherworldly outburst was better than it was. I like clutches because you can make one...

    Some cards that could be worth considering: Selesnya Eulogist Pentavus God-Pharaoh's Gift Eulogist in particular....copying manticore, spitting image, illuna tokens, etc. Good mana sink and solid base stats. I keep toying with lists that get the GCC closer to your power level, and these...

    One thing I didn't love about running Miracles in my cube was a lot of my players would draw the card into their hand, and pause a decent amount of time before casting via Miracle. Not that we don't trust anyone in our group, but It added one thin layer of unnecessary annoyance/complexity that...

    Historic (MtgA) Cube

    I really like Reckless Rage. I'm trying to figure out if I can support Feather at my power level....Having some damage-spreading burn spells like Arc Trail or Fire // Ice would help Bonzo runs Leave // Chance which is pretty sick with Feather.

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Over the last couple weeks, Bonzo's cube has properly poisoned my brain and sent me hurtling towards an existential cube crisis. I was already feeling a little exhausted with this cube, spending the better part of quarantine poking around with the Peasant format. The peasant experiment was as...

    I love yidaro’s design, it’d be an easy pick for me. Drakuseth doesn’t really excite me, but I have like zero inner Timmy. The risk with the dragon is that you just have to wait a turn to win the game? It’s trigger is on the attack so it wrecks everything before there’s any worry of combat damage.

    Cairn is pretty bad imo Astral drift is a good white bleed over card since cycling involves discard and you’re likely running a good bit to support the other discard matters cards. It’s lame that everything cost 3 cmc. There’s always escape protocol I suppose
