I think if you want blue tempo decks to be a thing, you really want evasive one-drops and not more two and three drops. Think along the lines of: Faerie Seer Mausoleum Wanderer Merfolk Windrobber Pteramander Siren Stormtamer Spectral Sailor These cards can apply early pressure and have...

Silly Velrun, Mirror March is for arena standard twitch streamers!

Recruit the Worthy Recruit the Worthy is actually a pretty good engine piece. I remember this card being pretty strong in some controlling Modern Horizons limited decks. A friend of mine went 3-0 at a draft basically on the back of Recruit the Worthy and basically nothing else good.

I'm not playing this card because I don't want 1-mana unconditional removal running around in my cube. I think Fatal Push might even be a little above where I want my removal to be and that card can't even kill everything (although it admittedly comes close). To be clear, though, I'm ignoring...

The best part of the last cube they had on arena was the fact that it had playable control decks to beat all of the nonsense midrange cards from 2019 and 2020. The biggest problem with that cube was that it didn't have enough interaction. Removing interaction is a surefire way to sink an...

So, the point is actually neither of these things. I guess it's closer to the second, but even then, that's not really what I meant. By "Macro-Archetype Philosophy" I'm referring to cubes made with the sole intention of making sure that very basic Aggro, Midrange, and Control decks are fully...

Digging Through Time Part 5 & 1/2 Dragon-Nest Berserker by Lie Setiawan. He looks like he escaped from Khans block, does he not? I lied in the last part about being done talking about mechanics. I forgot Kaldheim was being released and I would need to write more. Kaldheim doesn't bring...

I'd {T} that.

How to Port Constructed Decks into a Cube Environment Introduction Since the early days of Cube, fledgling designers have attempted to create environments with archetypes that resemble constructed decks. Vintage Cubers were the first to succeed in this task. The Vintage format's...

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Including: Including if I Open: Testing: Kaldheim has a lot of unique tools for Cubers, but the set's heavy tribal component makes most of the...

No, I'm still going to make a dedicated testing thread when I have a chance. It's not fair to make future people read 19 pages of random chatter before they can see what cards people wanted to include. EDIT: Here is the Testing Thread

You can also put the Runes on lands. They can enchant a Celestial Colonnade without falling off.

Dragonkin Berserker actually does have reminder text on the normal pack version. Also, treasure and the like is deciduous these days. WOTC has always eschewed reminder text for non-evergreen keywords when there isn't otherwise room on the cards for text. Some examples include Saproling Burst...

If that's your question, the only things that cross the line are cards that cost 3 or less mana or are named Questing Beast :p.

This looks like a fun card. I don't think it's good enough for my cube, but Commander cubes would love this. This would also be good in your 2, 3, 7 cube!

So... you're saying it's Prime Time for Prime Time?

I should state before I get into any of this that my list up on Cube Cobra right now does not reflect what I'm planning on with my latest writings. I think the variation up on CC right now matches the majority of what I'm about to say, but if there are any incongruences, it's because that list...

I think Dennis is a little better. I think a 4/5 Trample ETB Lightning Helix the opponent's face for 1CCC is going to be better on average than a 4/4 Flying Vigilance comes with suspend 1 Reave Soul suspend 2 Double Cleave if it lives for 1CCC. My reasoning is simple. Siege Rhino always does...

They put Sphinx's Revelation on a land. How cool!

It looks like you just had to wait a set :p
