Blue card draw I am being somewhat overwhelmed by the options of Blue card drawing spells these days. So many cool and powerful ones are being released that I feel the need to lay down some thoughts and hopefully pick out the best ones for my goals. 1 mana cantrips Brainstorm Consider Mental...

Jolrael, Mwonvuli Reculuse I had forgotten about this card, but it's time to revisit her as I think she is a great glue card for a lot of themes in the right context. I know there are some Blue equivalents (Mischievous Mystic, Emrakul's Messenger), but Green doesn't get that effect as much and...

I think that’s part of the rules complexity. If you flicker a room, it enters locked :/

I really like the self-bounce theme and I think you have 3 good choices. I think they are enough especially when you combine them with blink effects which are pretty similar all things considered. I am once again tempted to try it in my own higher power cube because of how helpful they can be...

Another Green card that indirectly intersects looting and spells Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse I personally really enjoy this card even if it’s mostly a Temur one. Making strong tokens off cantrips or looting/rummaging/cycling is what you want. I could see some enchantment cards being used too if...

I love that passage goes unnoticed in a random cube except for the set symbol. They even “fixed” the UB borders. I really like Symbiote Spiderman even though I doubt I’ll be cubing with actual spider people.

Generically good stuff package Novice Inspector Splitskin Doll Barbed Spike I think Inspector is likely to be the one drop with the most applications in terms of synergy and decks that want it. The other two are middle of the road (but still plenty good) artifacts. Counters package Arcbound...

So jealous of a ULD, you get to include so many roleplayers. I think your selection is really good, but maybe a few slots could be optimized for archetype support. I am thinking of the lands archetype primarily. Field of the Dead This is a one card archetype, mostly for Green decks. A ramp...

Saheeli is a great shout out. One I forgot Brass’s Tunnel Grinder Descend is pretty open ended and the ETB is solid. The backside is fun if you get there!

A few suggestions (in order of preference) Underworld Breach Often considered only a combo card, I've found that if your curve is low and you have a GY/discard theme, you can often get value from this. Kind of a Regrowth effect where the ceiling is win the game if you have the combo for it (or...

I am jealous of your 1 drop sections :P There are so many cool ones and I have to make some really painful cuts at my size. Adding Power doesn't shock me, at that size it's a pretty cool feeling to open in a pack. What is a bit tougher are two card combos (Thopter/Sword for example seems...

Dockside extortionist Now that is feast or famine!

Didn't think this set would be for me and to be fair, not a huge fan of space for Magic. However, the card designs really play well with my cube and others at different power levels I'm sure. High potential Lightstall Inquisitor More pieces for the mana denial White tempo decks which I...

Well, are you?

It was during Alara draft that I got my first insults on MTGO. Drafted a mediocre Naya deck but had Retaliator Griffin and Elspeth, Knight Errant. The Griffin took over game one and Elspeth game two. Dude went on full tilt with colourful language, reported me (???) and timed out. Sweet memories!

Cayth, Famed Mechanist Eruth, Tormented Prophet Niv-Mizzet, Parun Song of Creation Thousand-Year Storm Storm, Song and Niv-Mizzet are mostly just storm cards, but I love maybe getting there. Eruth sees a lot of cards and can probably easily mill yourself so I’d look for Lab man effects. Cayth...

I've had the same issue for a while and here is an attempt at showcasing how your cards overlap and are intertwined. Here is my cube layout (WIP!) In the center of each circle are the glue cards. Each set of cards along the circle are pretty closely related and will use the same glue pieces...

Those are some great looking decks, well done! Your drafters picked up what you were laying down, love to see it. I recently decided to cut Pyschic Frog for being too strong, any feedback on it? Also always loved the look of Voldaren Bloodcaster, how did it do for you?

I had trouble starting a list (at one point I had 4 20o+ card cubes trying to do the same thing) and what I tried was adding cards in packages. So for a cheat package you could add Oath, Tinker and Welder and some of your favourite cheat targets for example. Get enough packages you like and then...

Hearing both Zoss and Dom praise Warden, I’ve clearly been sleeping on it. It doesn’t look impressive to me! I haven’t gotten any real cubing done since adding Stridehanger, so I can’t comment, but just a heads up that alongside Warren Soultrader you can go hard with Marionette Apprentice or...
