Let's take 360 card cube and let's say you'd want every 2-color drafter get two fixing lands. If you take into account that aggro doesn't want tapped lands and especially, that lands could end up in the sideboards of speculative drafters, you would at least want four fixing lands per guild...

That's funny, I just recently discovered this incredible podcast and since I am laying in bed with influenza since yesterday I haven't done much else than drinking tea and listening to them, but I didn't know that and didn't discover that episode yet. Regarding monotony: Does this really matter...

Ah, yes, but it's peasant, so it's really easy to craft. But I warn you, I haven't updated this since I've started working on my custom cube last January.

Prismatic Vista I think this card is the perfect fixing land for cube. It fixes all colors without making 5-color soup too easy, enters untapped for aggro, can be picked up by anyone not super strictly drafting mono color. You still get the Landfall/Loam synergies of fetches. You guys know me...

There is also that extra plastic waste secret lair with 30 seperately packaged cards.

Esperzoa Probably just better?

Holy smokes, Farmsteed is baaaad. How could our lord and savior Richard Garfield Phd. not realise how incredibly far from playable it was? Even when you overvalue lifegain, what new, inexperienced players tend to do (and in some way, Garfield was an inexperienced player when he had just...

That looks like a really sweet and well balanced cube to me. One queestion arises though: How is the mana disruption playing out? Is the whole "enchanted land is a swamp" thing mostly an enabler for the swampwalk givers or is it close to land destruction? The issue I have with land denial is...

Looks like a fun little cube. One card I noticed: Shining Armor. Is this really doing anything? It seems super weak.

I don't know really, it's 3 mana sorcery speed and it doesn't affect the board at all. I think it will prove too clunky ultimately. Especially with this new mechanic, that is seemingly busted, aggro decks will probably rather deploy threats like this: Benalish Hero

It is funny, how every card in this thread has changed since then. I'll try to post some from time to time. This ~wandering oddish is just a Llanowar Elf, except it's "Grass, Poison" in type. I figured at some point this environment could use a mana dork at 1. ~Flourishing Oddish G...

I've always defended WotC, said stuff like "if you don't like it, don't buy it", just let it be. But charging 1000$ for 60 Proxies, which have a decent chance to just be Shivan Dragons and Counterspells and Grizzly Bears? That feels like a crime.

But I do have to have the mana symbols on there. It would not make sense to have the water energy symbol on my Island when some water type Pokémon will be in green or black and blue has different non-water type Pokémon to cast as well. What I will do is, to have my basics be double faced...

You guys probably thought, I stopped working on this, but that's far from true. I'm still on it, non stop and I am approaching the 330/360 cards. However, I'd love to hear some opinions on my idea for basic lands. Sweet and thematic or bland and unfitting?

This specific version of Order of Midnight. It's the perfect mix of: 1. Incredible looks, artwork and frame. 2. Elegance and simplicity in design. 3. High Angency, both in modes and targets, and not being able to block makes it even more skill testing. 4. It's not only value, but graveyard...

I'm convinced. Psychatog will stay. Probably forever. Thanks guys!

Psychatog Vohar, Vodalian Descrator I love cubing classic magic cards. But now I've come to consider replacing 'Tog, because Vohar played so well in DMU. And while they fulfil different roles, they go into the same decks: Madness, Dredge, Spells and many control decks. What do you guys think?

Well, since both Warhammer and Unfinity couldn't be less of interest for me, I didn't feel that way. It's like christmas is coming early, but it's still christmas. And we'll have to wait until November to actually play those cards. I got a feeling that after this set and Dominaria remastered in...

I feel like this is the first format in years where you don't get pressured super heavily and board presence isn't quite as important as we're used to these days in limited. Urborg Repossession is one of my favorites so far. And I haven't had a deck yet without at least one Talas Lookout, people...

Uurg, Spawn of Turg Battlefly Swarn These will most likely be my only inclusions. Great set bjt far too "colorful" to have many cards of interest for me.
