    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Why do you consider it a bug? You don't like how it walls 2/2s?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks a lot of the help! Some thoughts. First, I've ran through the list again and decided to make more cuts: Dragonmaster Outcast Anger Dread Return Suspend Think Twice Collective Effort Collected Company Honored Hydra Alesha, Who Smiles at Death Dragonmaster just wasn't a pull into lands...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    First, I want to thank you guys for drafting my cube. Every time you do I learn a lot. You are better players than I am and you see the cube in a far more neutral more than I ever will. So it's invaluable to me. I should return the favour more often, I really should. I'm preparing a second...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Oh I'm cutting Reflector Mage for Unsettled Mariner. I just want to try the card and see if I actually want to draft it. Moderation looks cool but it's yet another 3-mana card!

    General Alternate Wins in Fair Cubes

    The thing with Kiki-Twin is that you can build a normal deck that just so happens to have a game-winning combo in it. It asks relatively little of you and, in my experience, it just leads to lots of interesting games that suddenly end because someone topdecked the right card.

    General Jumpstart, Historic Horizons spoiler thread

    Personally, I don't think any of the mechanics they've shown so far are good enough to justify separating Arena from Paper. In particular "perpetually" looks terrible for the same reason the Strixhaven double faced cards with 15 different abilities do. It's not a "memory issue" for me as much as...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I run almost all the cards on your list so I really think I should give it a shot. I'm going to try this: Reflector Mage -> Unsettled Mariner Two additions: Tidehollow Sculler Callous Bloodmage Some changes in red. One is a test another is a likely switch. I Thrill of Possibility ->...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Funnily enough, I'm actually scared of it becoming yet another Cursed Scroll that demolishes fair decks by killing a creature each turn. I think Ophiomancer is too strong. Embodiment of Agonies looks cool but I don't know how much Keyword: Big actually matters in my cube. I already run Figure...

    General Favorite Cards You Don't Run

    I've never seen Winter's Chill before! It looks cool. I would look into snow if you really like those cards, though, the cost is very small. Perhaps just adding snow basics to the box would be enough. Frankly, the long text on Winter's Chill seems the biggest roadblock to me. Personally, I love...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I think both are pretty broken but I wanted to give them a try. Sadly, I need the reminder text, I just wish it had the 3 mana cost added. I've been checking all cards in the slots I've been missing and there are less options than I thought. Also, while I might not know exactly what I want, I...

    Rankle, Master of Pranks vs Yawgmoth, Thran Physician Which one do you like more and why?

    General Fight Club

    Note that Jolrael is mostly a Temur card, though.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Ok, let's try to improve things a little bit more. First, more cuts: Goblin Sharpshooter Baral's Expertise Mirari's Wake Saheeli, Sublime Artificer Kambal, Consul of Allocation Angel of Despair Feldon of the Third Path Sneak Attack Outpost Siege Hymn to Tourach All thse cards weren't seeing...

    One of the reasons I don't run FoF is to force more players into Gifts Ungiven. Am I wrong about that?

    Careful Consideration Fact or Fiction Which one is more appropiate for my cube's power level? Is Careful Consideration too cute? Is Fact or Fiction too dumb?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I had the same ideas as you so I guess I'm not as misguided as I thought! I think the Shaman would just destroy my graveyard decks. I like the Fiend Artisan, not so much because of the pod ability but because it can be very big! First, an easy switch: Thought Scour Opt Consider Consider Cube...

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I've toyed with Oath of Druids but it hasn't worked well. You need to build around it to a very high degree, it has no redundancy and most of the time just leads to decks that don't work. When the decks did work, they felt oppressive and not fun to play against. There are many issues with the...

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    I found it very easy to support human themes tying in blink and recursion. On the other hand, I found it difficult to truly support Gravecrawler because zombies are usually only in black.

    Sets (MID) Innistrad: Midnight Hunt

    Instant addition to the cube. Goodbye Opt! I won't replace Shock with the improved version because I don't find the marginal gain enough to justify the additional text, though.

    Sacrificing two creatures is a lot. I think you are better off with other sacrifice outlets.
