If you're going to grid a lot, you may want to have a lesser percentage of removal, card advantage and high cmc. The numbers have felt weird compared to a typical cube. My novice grid drafting friends tend to focus overly on first picks and not rounding out their decks, so the average card power...

Ari Lax posted a very interesting breakdown of how power-toughness relationships might affect limited Magic. I suggest reading it for anyone that has cube-ish projects with a lot of combat interactions! Fearless Halberdier...

Hi Mulrah! Invasion was also one my first mini-cube designs! Any reason you started with it? (The IPA retail draft format might be one of the reasons I still enjoy Magic today.) As far as each project goes, is my understanding that you only play them ONCE? Or is it once in your possession and...

Early Nov. 2018, Gavin tweeted a bat signal to all interested in cube/custom limited: What are the Cube archetypes that you or someone else have tried putting in your Cube, but always seem a few good cards/build arounds short of actually working? #wotcstaff...

I am endeavoring to capture more info for use in tweaking my active grids. Last weekend, Michelle and I had time to fit in a few "Ode to Onslaught/Odyssey" grids after not playing it for a few months (and possibly not since the last big changes were made). I neglected to take notes during the...

I also gave the uncommon cube a try! My deck was fairly uninspired (started black-green sacrifice and ended up midrange, splashing blue for some card advantage); Cursed Predation, as many who have tried it in cube know, is not a reasonable mtg card. Went 3-0 too easily (as opponents made some...

hi y'all! I've been mostly lurking n' working the past half year... but also have managed myself a pretty regular grid partner and a lot of development has occurred of late! The big 3 grids have matured from their early incarnations and new creations are on the horizon (including a 3-color...

Did you have many ways to kill the Glare in your cardpool / did they often make it maindeck?

Sorry for this shitpost, but I've been bad http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/92832

I have themed basics, depending on the fantasy set/grid... all matching art ROE/SOM Fantasy set: mix of ZEN/SOM/ROE, All half art. Wanted an artificial feel. These are my favorite on my cube lands. ISD fantasy set: ISD lands. Boring but effective Older card grids: invasion basics. I like...

Loving this! How did the grid draft decks feel compared to the 5x9, 4 player decks? I adv a bit concerned all of the 4p decks had blue. Maybe it's a non issue out the decks and games are fun. My significant other is looking to emulate your structure: 180 cards, 3 color. I'll let you know of...

Hi Infinity! I've considered and started down this path before, but I didn't make it too far! Until now, I've enjoyed 144 cards as my "Magic number" (16 perfect grids) for drafting, with grid card populations having 162 cards and then removing 18 at random prior to drafting to add some...

Thanks for the interest and kind words! I have a few muses when it comes to inspiration, but I tend to anchor the design in past constructed or limited. Existing limited formats have been the easiest to explore due to all of content available. The brainstormed designs usually spawn from fond...

Thanks for the interest, everyone! I'll endeavor to reach out, update with my current thoughts and share current state asap! Foreshadowing: been playing a lot of MTGO 1v1 cmdr. Feel like I need to heavily rework a few grids too.

I dub thee unforgiven

I wouldn't go to a GP if i were reasonable, but a mtgo friend I've never met in person is attending... i expect very little from mtg events and suspect to be underwhelmed. Anyone booking a last minute ticket? :)

Anyone else going to gp vegas? I will be there over the weekend june 16-18, hating life and with my grid babies. Let's play!

I enjoy any well-constructed HS list, but unless I feel I know enough to build them from scratch/tweak existing lists, no HS gives me enough utility to play at the competitive volume. 1v1 MTGO Commander may replace a lot of my HS time... which makes me, sad, because I spent $$ to buy in for the...

These cute wild decks have been fun.

maybe some application with Cloudpost in Legacy or tron in Modern as a 1-to-2-of? :eek: How about the Inspiration that cycles for {U}? I love it!
