Hey, it's me again. Once more I am looking for a go wide/tokens payoff, but this time, I want it to be mono red in color identity. It should work equally well in aggro and midrange decks, cost no more than 4 mana and should roughly be around the power level of Glorious Anthem. I am looking to...

You are 100% correct of course, but I meant cutting from the top of your power band. It's easier to cut the worst cards than to cut the best, but I think sometimes the latter can be more beneficial to an environment.

I like that you're cutting from the top too. A little surprised to hear you call Mentor underpowered. Looking at your list, of course without having played with it. It seems fitting. I mean, unlike the vampire, it has a high ceiling of drawing you 2+ cards a turn.

Do it. If I remember correctly, you regularly cube with newbies. I've seen many beginners say 'I play a morph' with a smirky face. They love the mystery. And so do I.

I don't really get the hate morphs always get from cubers. Yes, you need to have more than just a couple to make them work. But it's not like you need Khans of Tatkir ratios. I have 14 in 500 cards and people are never sure what to expect. When they, including me, guess they are very rarely...

Will be that: "Disguise is an unrevealed mechanic that will be introduced in Murders at Karlov Manor. It interacts with face down cards."

My two final contenders will be ... Consume and Veil If the latter would get disqualified for using a hybrid that is only technically mostly a gold card, I would nominate conviction tokens as a runner up. But I hope that won't be necessary.

Just befor it all ends, a dimir agent sneaks into the contest. You couldn't see them, because they were veiled. Veil is a keyword action, that embodies all that dimir stand for - mechanically and flavorwise. They overwhelm their opponents with trickery and card advantage. They gather...

Cube Hit of the Year I just cubed a lot, compared to recent years. I had 14 drafts with 4-8 people happening this year, and I connected with a new draft group. I also finally found the perfect solution for my ravnica cube. However, all of that has to pale next to my actaully biggest hit: My 375...

Hellion Eruption Has anyone ever cubed with this? Was it good in retail limited with Spawn tokens? Because I could see this be a really nice reward/finisher for a token spam deck.

Oh wow. There are some cards I like here. I will put some in my maybeboard on 'cobra and spend the next few days thinking far too much and too hard about this minor topic. Thanks everyone :p

I am looking for a {R}{W} card, that rewards going wide in a way, that it works for the '1-drop into Raise the Alarm'-Version as well as for the slower midrange version that casts Beetleback Chief, and not as a curve topper. The card should be a reward for pursuing either approach of a go wide...

One day bevor new years eve we had another 4-person draft happening at my home. It was a great conclusion for a year 2023, that came with a lot of cubing and magic compared to the previous two years. Here are the results: 1. Mono {B} Sacrifice Midrange 2-1-0 (5-2) Ones 1 Ruthless Ripper 1...

It's not really been tested yet, but the one game was very fun and super deep. https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/TheBazaar

Yeah, I will probably go for the Shadow. As Ondeer pointed out, it kinda fulfills two roles for the ninjutsu tempo decks. If I had more space (blue is really tight) I could also see the Thief for some overlap with artifacts. Nah, I don't think so. Man-o'-War sees play without being incredible...

Thousand-Faced Shadow Prosperous Thief moonsnare Specialist How do you like those ninjas? I am already running all the good blue ninjas except Mist-Syndicate Naga, which would be too much for my cube.

So, my second entry is for the Azorius senate. They've had three pretty mediocre mechanics, so I though a lot about what really embodies the guild for me. It is the fact that they enforce the law in a magical way. So, the way I found to capture this in magic cards wasn't a traditional keyword...

So, for my first submission, I designed a new golgari keyword action, that works in a similar space as explore and connive do, where a chosen creature executes the action. This keyword lets them do everything the swarm loves - fill the graveyard, profit from it and grow your creatures. And, I...

But that's not entirely true. They have guidelines of how certain species, buildings or armor looks like, but the art styles are more connected to the artists involved. Artists like Zoltan Boros, Wayne Reynolds or Rebecca Guay habe very distinct art styles, you can identify their works easily...
