Fantastic and truly helpful post, thank you Nanonox. I can't believe I never thought of doubling up on Dark Ritual. I was always annoyed by how limited Cabal Ritual is in comparison but I never thought about just running two copies! You are completely right about the red spells, by the way...

Gaddok Teeg is symmetrical, sadly. So it may lock you out from some key cards for your deck. However, I do want to look into more cards like this, particularly if my power level goes up again. Let's talk about that. As you know, I'm trying to square the circle by having a fair, interactive cube...

I currently run Archon of Cruelty as the most powerful top-end payoff. And it's a cool card. However, I'm kind of envious of people who run Griselbrand because you can reanimate it as a draw 7 in storm decks. I've thought about running it, instead, but I'm afraid it would be too powerful...

Yep. I didn't want to make the post too messy so I didn't mention it, but it's true. For example, while Dark Depths only takes 4 slots, three of those slots (Dark Depths, Tespian's Stage, Crop Rotation) are good only in that archetype. The combo is extremely strong, though! I don't run it...

I hadn't seen the Cauldron until now and it's wordy as hell, but you are right that it's graveyard hate plus engine. Rishkar is awesome. It's not good-stuff, but it works in so many decks and so many ways. It's a standout in my cube.

DEFINITION & EFFICIENCY No matter how many cards compose our cube, its number will always be finite. And since the card pool is limited and only forty cards go in a deck, we may come to realize that the number of slots available are limited. Given this scarcity I want to introduce the concept...

I have a question for you guys. Is this deck any good: https://cubecobra.com/cube/deck/4a012152-9e08-4d81-be31-7279929db1f2 Earthcraft Paradox Engine Escape to the Wilds It's not the lack of interaction that worries me. I think that can be solevd through better drafting. It's the whole concept...

I have a soft spot for Magic and have good memories of it. However, it is quite flawed as a game. It's extremely expensive, random chance dominates and many decks just aren't that fun to play with or against. Building a cube lets me minimize all those flaws and focus on what I like the most...

The loss of deck names in Cube Cobra has been a huge hit, now I can't even check my own archetypes! But I can come back a thousand years later to tinker with the cube a bit. First, some obvious replacements: Reckless Impulse -> Questing Druid I didn't notice at first, but the adventure in...

Can you no longer give your drafted decks names in Cube Cobra? I've noticed that even my old names dissapeared

I've been running Reckless Impulse in my cube and it has been a B-tier spell. Solid, but nothing spectacular. You run it because it's yet another instant you can use to draw, trigger storm, Pyromancer, etc. And I wonder if it would be too much of a downgrade to do this: Reckless Impulse ->...

Goblin Engineer is ok, but I would rather run two copies of Goblin Welder than a single copy of it.

Wait they printed Remand again AND IN WHITE?

This looks like a better use of a slot than Edge of Autumn or Explore. Even if it seems extremely strong. brainstorm into this is a lot of ramp for very little effort!

Urza's Saga goes in everything, even if it's good in Lands.dec Some good targets: Mox Diamond Retroffiter Foundry Sensei's Divining Top plus Baubles, Equipment, etc.

Emry is a lot of fun and inherently fair in that it's a creature. You can tweak your cube to include her.

Mutation is just overdesigned. They wanted player to put several cards into one creatyre. However, Magic punishes that kind of play extremely harshly because you can just blow up the creature. Hence. they tried to add all sorts of wonky exceptions to make it work despite the whole game telling...

This is it for me, too. We have all the enablers and tricks in the world, but not enough cards that actually want to be discarded or played from the graveyard. At least for my power level.

Just what I wanted from Magic, more planeswalkers.

Wait, so does Kappa Cannoneer trigger on itself or not? I'm confused.
