Nice write-up! We have a lot of overlap, because both our cubes are heavy in the graveyard department, but mine lacks most of the generically efficient and combo/draw 7 stuff. I don't have too much to contribute, except maybe one thing that's become more apparent to me recently. The...

In my experience Maul of the Skyclave is too much of a removal check (at least in my environment). It turns anything into a 3-4 turn clock and is very hard to interact with in combat because they will never have good blocks for a 5/4 flying first strike creature. History of Benalia and Felidar...

Thanks for feedback and suggestions! Now that the rough overhaul is done and I had a bit more time to think about white (also thanks to the fight club discussions), it might be time for a little addendum. WHITE ADDENDUM Swaps: Arcbound Mouser -> Novice Inspector Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd ->...

I just took stacked deck pictures sorted by Nana value and it recognized ~90-95% of the cards. Something like this:

Not sure I follow, how's the Hallowblade interacting with equipment? Just that it's a strong beater that's difficult to interact? I'm not opposed to bring him back, I used to have him and Guardian of New Benalia in the cube. You're probably right, that the second Inspector is one of the better...

It's a strange feeling I've been having. My theory is that they are putting more work/money/effort/power into the Universes Beyond sets as they need to make sure those sell well and what better thing to get people excited about cardboard than printing strong, exciting cards. All of the two mana...

A relatively new app made specifically for Cube is SnapDrafter! You take a picture and it converts it into a list that you can import into CubeCobra. Unfortunately you cannot export a text file, I think. I still had to tediously enter every card name :confused:. You can export the deck as a...

Alright, the orders at Cardmarket and MPC are placed, so it's time for some theorycrafting! Since I will probably make around 70 changes to my cube, I'll split up the posts to somewhat manageable size, probably by color. Also, I want to get my thought-train rolling (and hope for your feedback!)...

I am looking to bolster my white aggressive artifact section with 1-2 one and two drops respectively! What would be your 1 or 2 favorites for each bracket? Artifact one drops (Esper Sentinel, Thraben Inspector and Warden of the Inner Sky are already in): Arcbound Mouser Hotshot Mechanic...

I understand the dislike/hatred for this set and other sets like it, I've been there. For my own mental well being I've just decided to make the best of it and distance myself from the company that makes the cards. I still love the game and I even like some of the new card designs a lot but if I...

So, first up, this set has me more excited than any other set in a long time! Could be that it has to do with artifacts, landfall and graveyard (to a lesser extent) all being present here, that are also core tenets of my cube but I also really enjoy the science fiction world building they did...

Vivi Ornitier looks fantastic from what I've seen so far! A fun and unique card that you can built around, it just doesn't interact with my themes, except maybe for helping with the big mana creatures like Walking Ballista. So I'm not sure if I should include it. As for the shark, it looks very...

It's that time of year again, time to post a bi-annual draft report! Last Friday was a special occasion, since a friend from abroad was in the city and we managed to get 4,5 people together for a relaxed, after-putting-the-kids-to-bed cube draft. Four out of five people (myself included) made it...

Those are some very nice cards! Warden and Bristlebud are in my cube and stridehangar and Monument will come in with my next update. As everyone has said already, Warden is a cool and strong card. It's just a decent beater in a normal aggressive deck but cards like Thraben Inspector Voldaren...

What a sweet little robot! This is great if you support artifacts in any way in your cube. A little bit like Tough Cookies little brother. It applies some pressure early, can block pesky fliers early and late but mostly trades off, which I like. In my cube I'm always looking for creatures with...

Llanowar Explorer--Okay, yes, this was meant to be an upgrade on Cenote Scout. I'll remove that. Thanks! Ferocious Nacatl--This is one which is almost certainly over the line, but more than anything else I want it to be a Wild Nacatl that will work in any 3+ color deck, which I think is what...

Right, I already forgot about Kaito.. how about "-3 put target creature/nonland permanent on top of it's owners library"? Toshiro--Yeah, he's definitely intended to be ninjutsu'd in. The Jitte triggers should help him in further combats, but it's intrinsically a snowballing mechanic. I'm jt a...

I'm happy to be of help! For context and readability I'll just copy your reply (minus the ones that are "done") and add my answers after. Implacable Vanguard--You're probably right, but it's closer to Thalia's Lieutenant than you might think. The Unearth probably pushes it over the line...

I kind of glossed over this card but now that you point it out, maybe I like it! It is very wordy and I don't like including wordy one off mechanics in my cube... But it's like a side grade to these: Ensoul Artifact The Blackstaff of Waterdeep Rise and Shine Much slower but very cheap to...

First of all, apologies but this is going to be a quickly written down wall of text. This looks like a cool project and you obviously put a lot of work into it, as it is already quite polished! I went through the visual spoiler and just took note of things that stood out to me. Mostly this is...
