I've rewritten this post 3 times since Kirblinx's comment; it shouldn't be so hard to converse on one's hobby! :) Penny Pincher (PP) 2.0: Inventor's Fair is pretty wild as far as cubes go. Looking on the list now, it has a lot more in common with an expert-plus-level set like Double Masters or...

I added Student of Warfare and Figure of Destiny to the possible cuts due to the record-keeping involved (although, I am a fan of how the cards play). Could easily see keeping them due to their contributions. Though, Figure was a "red" card for the sake of swaps. Also, an update may make sense...

Note: It looks like ZNR isn't uploaded yet to whatever our forum plug-in uses... I will have to take a look at the format of this post later to see if it displays correctly :( PP2: Inventor's Fair V2020 My initial approach is in the spoiler tags, and I'm leaving it in progress as it's too...

With the pandemic halting paper play for me (and countless others) and tons of great penny-synergy-card candidates in the past year, it seems like now is as good of a time as any to start my Penny Pincher update (looking to be V2.5, not V3.0, level of update - maybe a 30-60 card update - with a...

I am thinking of using colored beads or just printing laminated labels to use with the Thriving lands; just something in the token/dice cube peripherals. There is no need to leave the choice for memory to recall. :)

Which of the following 5c payoff in a set with a lot of artifacts and big mana spells seems more exciting/tempting to draft early? Maelstrom Nexus Maelstrom Archangel Tempo+card advantage versus tempo+dragon. 5c payoff already includes: Golos, Tireless Pilgrim Muse Vessel Etched Monstrosity

I've enjoyed integrating equipment into environments with a lot of artifact removal, and there have been some great designs recently. Here are a few of my favorites: Malefic Scythe - With a base stat comparable to Short Sword, this fits into the sacrifice synergies a cube may already run and...

I am inclined to go more in the direction of shandalar - grey ogre cmc-to-stats and a lot of lower impact, high cmc cards. But in contrast to shandalar, I'd like all colors having some velocity to get through their decks. Then, there can be a focus on a lot of actions needed to win a game. Or...

:) Thanks! The only problem with M-Origins is Gnarlback Rhino is impossible to buy on MTGO. I bought one when I built the grid in May from Goatbots for 3.3 (they had one additional at the time); now, I haven't been able to find a second at any price. :mad:

Yes; at one point, I had 7 thanks to a rabbit hole started on this forum! Seriously, though, it is a sorcery-speed removal spell that is color restrictive and sorcery speed; excited for it to be cheap! The aura clause in phasing is great for supporting white-and-green-based aura packages...

From the random Jumpstart play experience feedback, this thread and posts on Reddit's /r/mtgcube, it looks like Jumpstarting will be a popular "cube-like" way to play Magic going forward. It definitely is an interesting space from a cube-design point of view! I have only browsed the thread, so...

Silverblade Paladin Solemn Recruit Taranika, Akroan Veteran Like the desire to cut two creatures. I feel like adding too many creatures is easily where most cubes end up. I would cut whichever of these 3's lead to the most miserable games as your 3cmc white creature count is high-ish at 13...

Something I found useful was including an area to track life totals, opponent name, who played first, notes and W/L. Then questionnaire at the bottom/on the back. Can use the game data somewhat or use it for discussions with players

Dont know who needs to hear this, but.. grid draft now supported on CubeCobra! I suggest 16 packs if you want to try it out with this 4c grid https://cubecobra.com/cube/playtest/morigins_grid

Grid Drafting! #27 Going back up to 16 packs - decks have had a higher percentage of non-games due to curve reasons at 14 packs, but other drafters and myself haven't been disciplined. Assuming 14 packs is for veterans of a grid looking to concentrate on each pick to the fullest only. Pack 1...

From some investigative work, it appears aura-lords aren't a heavily discussed topic; y'alls discussion here may just be to totality of it. :) Does anyone have thoughts on what the base case for Kor Spiritdancer being "on average" better than Sram, Senior Edificer? Also, is the decision point...

Grid Drafting - 26 Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14

Despite being wonky and from Tempest, the follow is ~bulk and NOT on the Reserved List: Carrionette I have played with this a few times at moderate-power peasant, and I *love* it. It was added to fit a similar role that Reassembling Skeleton might fit: aristocrats and graveyard synergy...

Thanks, everyone, for the inputs! I think the Wolfhaven Willow will get another chance. If Nature's Lore cycled, I would be sooooo tempted. I might give drafters the choice between Explore and Haven for a while to get further insight. I should've mentioned that I am trying to keep to...

I just added Mother Bear as a graveyard-synergy addition over Masked Admirers, but the Resilient Khenra is very tempting. I may consider adding it instead of Motherbear (and add a wolf-token-generator, see cardfight below) to not have multiple creature type tokens per arbitrary restriction...
