    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    Not a fan of Lessons so far. Might change if a few are spoiled that are worth a card slot on their own within a cube, but this feels very much like energy so far where it'll be sweet in Limited but mostly parasitic elsewhere. Or cards that reference Lessons will just end up being narrow trinket...

    General [STX] Strixhaven Spoilers

    I don't think it's necessarily bad to re-use a system that works this effectively. Factions are just fun for people to play with, are easily identifiable for the playerbase, and very easy to understand for the average player. It's a formula that's worked every time dating back to the original...

    General Introducing the Cube Map – find out how your cube fits within the Cube Universe!

    Super interesting stuff, neat to see where everyone's cubes are at relative to the entire CubeCobra database. Main continent is pretty diverse and interesting to traverse through, I'm getting a kick out of these little isles for specific cube builds. I like Commanderstralia in the East and my...

    Just give me the enemy Battlelands. That's all I really want from this set.

    I'd just run them both. Green non-creature cards kind of suck so you should definitely find slots for them.

    General Fight Club

    I'd honestly just play them both. They're more interesting to play with than the vast majority of white one drops. I've never been disappointed in running either in my W/x Aggro decks.

    General Fight Club

    I'd probably lean towards the Lake between those two options. Like Rasmus says, spell lands are "free" since they don't take up an actual card slot. Thrasios is kind of lame if you aren't using it as an infinite mana outlet ala EDH.

    General Revisiting Aristocrat Environments: Things that don't mind dying

    It just doesn't do enough on its own in a vacuum for many cubes. If you're in a format where everything is generating a ton of value left and right on ETBs, then Reveillark is kind of lackluster unless you're bringing back something busted from the get go. Even then, at 6 mana, you've probably...

    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    This has happened to me multiple times in Commander. Shit sucks.

    General Curved Foil Cards

    Good idea for this post, I was actually going to forward this post I had seen a while back to forward to a friend. Just one small adjustment I'd make. A humidifier actually puts more moisture INTO the air, thus adding humidity to your surroundings. This is important depending on the type of...

    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    I think the main issue is that there just isn't enough incidental support to or early plays that are really conducive to your gameplan. Every payoff or card that makes the enchantment deck worth playing falls into the glut of 4/5 cmc cards and there are only so many of those you can run. They...

    General The Duplicate Voucher System

    Also, because I totally forgot about it, I also had this handy little Legend created a while back to help my drafters understand all the extra cube features: I've been using stickers in the inner sleeves to keep track of these various draft features and eventually made a handwritten legend...

    It would be using Photoshop to access the .psd file and making the change to the text. I'll give it a look when I have some time, should be a relatively simple fix.

    Site News RiptideLab on YouTube

    Totally forgot Renegade Rallier ws a card and that Felidar Retreat came out in ZNR. I've also had an Emeria Angel sitting in the sidelines for a bit that feels like it's worth moving over to the big leagues off this potential synergy alone. That's a sweet interaction that doesn't use up very...

    General Questions / topics for Dom Harvey podcast

    What are your pet cards in cube? Which unique cards stick out in a cube list and make you want to try it out? Of the draft variants/additions you've tried over the years (ex. Utility Land Draft), what's been your favorite/the most interesting? What's the most interesting deck you've ever played...

    General Timespiral Remastered Timeshifts

    Yeah, but the foil from original Time Spiral is prohibitively expensive so I've been using the EMA copy with the FTV art for now: The original art is vastly superior. The good news is that this leads to side-upgrades elsewhere with this EMA Venser replacing the non-foil in my Aminatou EDH...

    General Timespiral Remastered Timeshifts

    I want a copy of just about everything on the Timeshifted sheet that I already have in Cube, but I also want it in foil with the classic shooting star. I'm a sucker for those old foils. It's bizarre to me that this is the one set in recent times that they just straight up won't have a collector...

    General The Duplicate Voucher System

    I'd say that they're just different ways to build a deck. CoCo is to give some extra reach to G/x Midrange lists that want to focus more on combat and outsizing the opponent, Pod is more for toolbox-y plays and maximizing ETBs. If I had to choose 1, I think Pod is just a more interesting puzzle...
