If you want that effect then yeah, that 1/3 body is much better than the 1/1 that the scout is. Being able to tank or dissuade attacks from 2 power attackers is super relevant if your main goal is to branch into the later stages of a game. That said, I want a little more out of mostly vanilla...

Makes sense, it can definitely get a bit unwieldy at times solo. Unless I pre-shuffle and have everything ready for the cube session, I usually have 4 of my drafters help me shuffle up and create packs. It's not too bad once you've seeded the 20% into the 6th pile of gold/colorless/lands. I then...

I was going up against some 5C pile of stuff around a year and a half ago running some grindy GBx deck. He was playing mostly normal stuff and I couldn't quite put him on a specific archetype, but he kept saying something like man I wish I had a red source right now. I didn't understand why he...

I used to do that and just shuffle up, but sometimes you'd end up with really warped packs that had like something wonky like 9 red cards or 6 white and 7 green cards. This process has pretty much eliminated that possibility. Sure, RNG could lead to 4-5 of a color in a pack, but nothing super...

Maybe, but I also don't know a single person who is really into the narrative direction of the story. I guess it might be appealing to younger players to have clear protagonists to follow ala MCU superheroes? It's rare that we get interesting stories about characters mostly because they haven't...

I'm a big fan of Kamigawa block art and lore-wise, but they definitely messed up power-level wise and with clunky mechanics throughout. I understand why they won't go back from a financial perspective because it was unpopular the first time around, but I feel like every time I read about it...

For making packs, I've been following this method for about a year and a half now and it's given me the best results: 1) Divide everything in your cube by color (WUBRG) with gold/colorless/landscards together in a sixth pile. 2) Take roughly 20% of each color and shuffle it into the...

Have you guys seen the Kickstarter for Cubeamajigs? Reusable packs to store the cube packs you create for easy distribution. I backed it earlier today, picking up the 125 set keeping one and gifting a set to each of my friends who have built a cube. Already reached their initial goal within the...

The actual land arts are great, but that giant GRAND PRIX is super ugly. Not a fan of these.

Jhoira is pretty generic but solid and more powerful than the Thopterist, but I could see the Thopterist being more interesting if you have ways to leverage the 3 bodies synergistically with other cards.

Gonna go with 3 cards that haven't been mentioned: Thalia's Lieutenant I love BW Humans as an archetype, and the Lieutenant gives you another copy of Champion of the Parish that can also be played as an anthem for your team if you've gone wide enough. It's an excellent card to push yourself...

Yeah that's gonna be a no from me dawg.

These are fantastic. I don't actually have any alters in my cube, I mostly try to foil it out whenever I can. I'm up to around 328/408 possible, the hardest part is going to be the land section though :confused:

Divest seems pretty decent, I'm actually trying out Harsh Scrutiny right now and it's been fine. The addition of artifacts would allow hits to creep up from 200 to 220 in my cube, but I really like being able to scry proactively (which is why is love Magma Jet so much). If you're looking for an...

Post is a little too durdly and slow while Trash isn't really an effect that I'd want to spend a whole card on (which is why I like Welder and Daretti). I think Tinker is probably fine in my environment, but then again I have Artifact Lands available in my ULD and I'm worried about the...

It's been a long while, but I recently got to do some cubing with some friends over the last weekend when we took a trip up to Yosemite. We were staying at a cabin up north and our days mostly consisted of hiking through the park, sightseeing around the area, then coming back home to jam some...

Got in a few cube sessions last weekend (writeup incoming this weekend!) and I'm thinking about squadroning a few of the build around cards in my cube, namely: Collected Company Birthing Pod Drake Haven I haven't yet added the Haven to my list, but I feel like with the number of incidental...

Vinecrasher has been sweet in my cube thus far. Great synergy with fetches, self-mill strategies, and creates cool tech-y plays where you can extract extra value off things like looting or discarding. It's normally a 4/4 on average which is just fine, the real value comes once you can bring it...

Fade into Oblivion is sweet, I'm digging that FNM promo border as well. I like how quickly they've backtracked on their changes to FNM prizing. Turns out that people like having cool incentives for a Friday night event when they could literally be doing anything else that night! Who knew? Top...
