After three Pokémagic drafts, past wednesday, we drafted the CCC again. First time after the summer update. It was a good draft with interesting results. We basically had the inversion of the usually expected table ... 1. {G}{W} Tokens (3-0, 6-1) Ones 1 Goldmeadow Harrier 1 Healer's Hawk 1...

But besides Rattatooie, three blind mice, and the two takes on gingerbrute, I feel like we haven't really seen many direct fairy tale tropes/references. There is that rat piper guy I guess. But mostly it feels like you're average high fantasy world this time.

So far only updating my cube twice a year, hasn't been a problem. I'm even slightly late with my "july update". It ended up being more "cut from the top" than "cut from the bottom" but for diffrrent reasons. Swooping Lookout ... replaces Topplegeist. Because it's a simpler design not including...

Frolicking Familiar is just incredible. I love it. Can't wait to see the shwocase version. Guess I have to cut Third Path Iconoclast. OTTER WIZARD. Decadent Dragon is just disgusting. It's really close to {2}{B} Instant: Draw three cards. And one of them is an incredibly pushed 4-drop...

Wow, all that stuff looks super pushed.

So, I was so fascinated by your idea, I've tried to come up with my own variation. It's called "Wurm & Wumpus" https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/3362f8ec-cc29-4c95-a7b1-c1a01f9a9e25 The most essential change was the shift to have the lands in the library. Currently, I run three tapped fixers...

Today I've registered for the first prerelease event since 7 years ago. It will be draft. Don't disappoint me, wizards.

Wow, that sounds so cool. You came up with that idea all by yourself? I am so tempted to go for my own attempt at that. Have you considered giving red land destruction? A [Stone Rain] effect would probably be too strong under the current rules, though. Maybe having the lands go in the graveyard...

Last friday, we had the third draft with this cube. After the second, which went much better already, this on truly was what I envisoned during the endless hours of developing and designing. It was a blast. At this point, my regulars fully understand the mechanics and how they play out. Everyone...

Seriously, I don't love any art for Simulacrum. Sad robot is the og, but it always reminds me of data from stat trek. I went with Meehans glass-like art. It looks otherworldly and more interesting than any of the others. I wouldn't cube that version because it only exists in the bad frame, but...

I am confused. Are these still art only? Because you are now uploading reprints with same art and different frames.

I would put them into their respective gold section. I don't run any adventure cards where people don't strive to play both halves in at least 80% of the games.

Personally, I am stoked for Ravnica Remastered, Bloomburrow (mouse knights and squirrel wizards!) and MH3 for the next year. That "Murders at Karlov Manor" mystery murder set also sounds interesting. I'm lukewarm on all the UB products. Also, not sure about that cowboy villan set yet. And I'm...

In case anyone missed it And here is a decent recap video that helped me get a better picture

Yup, it's up there with cycling and flashback on the second place, just behind madness <3

Eldraine gave us many cool things, but in my book it's biggest hit were the adventure cards. Not only did they play extremely well, they also came with the most beautiful look magic cards ever had. I'm still cubing 9 of them and I'd be happy already if I could get two or three of the same caliber.

I wondered the same. I didn't play limited back in the day but a lot with (bad) cards at that time, and while I won some games with Selesnya Guildmage in my life, I can't remember discarding to hand size so I could get my 4 mana 1/1 ...

I would've chosen exactly those with the execptions of Rhox or Force of Nature for green and maybe Nightmare for black.

I like tough cookie. Hm, comsidering the swing for 6 on turn 3 baseline, he might actually be too much power and toughness for a 2-drop in the CCC.

I like what we've seen so far, but I really hope that somnophage isn't an indicator for "all adventure cards are multicolored this time", because that would make it so much harder to include them. But I bet, that's how it'll end up.
