One big thing I've discovered from creating grids: aim for a lot of overlap in a cards' application. Hybrid mana cost and generic mana costs are big boons in this area for lower cmc cards in aggressive strategies. I think i own 12 phyrexian revokers because of this. ...

Venny, i am similarly interested in making a grid for kaladesh limited. I'll try to chime in add often as possible, but I'm in a brutal work period until end of Jan. If you ask Qs, I'll endeavor to answer! Play some duplicates and triplicates of staple cards and removal. Rares: yes! Omit...

Maybe a small wiki is what the doctor ordered? Also, cloudblazer talk had me wondering: how had split second performed against value ETB creatures? I want to build a grid with astral slide and cloudblazer, but I'd like to try to arm decks with answers. Was thinking disenchant effects in...

Magus has been underreceived in my Med Mage grid, probably due to lesser amounts of red reach and lots of instant speed answers (of which red wants to avoid while adding to 20). I am going to look at it again in another format (maybe fantasy set). I guess med mage grid occupies a power band...

Dimensional Breach seems reallllly weird. Maybe, there is a green-white ramp strategy in a lower power format where it works. Or maybe some red-white Wildfire. Speaking of red and low-powered, I am convinced that Magus of the Wheel is a wonky card. Magus of the Wheel

Got in quite a few grids this vacation weekend (of which I will slowly use to update)! The big takeaway was the med mage grid's "aura" theme could not be supported, and in an effort to make the creature decks interact more with the Replenish deck, there is an archetype change: black-white is now...

In a single elim, went 3-0 (bringing in Sever the Bloodline versus monoblack) against mono red control, ??? no show and monoblack value creatures- 2-1 record in matches for each win. too bad wotc didn't work to refine this, as it seems like it's on the way to being a fun moderately powered...

I want to try out Oracle of Nectar.

My current project is going live this weekend, and none of the business users can use it effectively. Who has time for the world?

Grid in the wild on reddit! But i dont have my login info to engage in conv :( https://m.reddit.com/r/mtgcube/comments/5bv0o0/article_building_a_2player_cube/

I think the list link is missing in OP (or i am blind).

It could come back in! Yeah, i am a little wary about the increase in power, but hopefully it will lead to better drafting and games! We will see.

Hi Jeff! I've ran into this problem with some of my fantasy sets, and the best way to address it was either (1) remove some of the generically good cards to bring down the power level or (2) remove the lower power synergy cards and then create new cubes/grids around them. Whenever you change the...

After the games this weekend (go #1, go #2), I am thinking about a *large* update again... In actuality, I think very little is changing, but I want to address some low performers, tweak numbers and build on auras more. Also, the 6$ Predatory Nightstalker is getting the ax for a more exciting...

I drafted a solid green base, but didn't pay attention to my secondary color until it was too late... I initially tried a tokens/ramp build, with miscellaneous splashes, and never settled on a build with which I felt really comfortable. As Kirb alluded, I tried a variation with the Gaze of...

Spreadsheets are sexy.

Had a good grid session with M-Origins#1 in the games forum, but I think that Fill with Fright needs to become either a better discard spell or something (1) probably not a creature, (2) not removal and (3) not card advantage. I don't see the card ever being selected on purpose (and then rarely...

Had a chance to draft this grid against a friend yesterday, and the games were pretty fun! Often, a deck came out of the gates quickly and there was back-and-forth action from turns 3 to 8/10. Generally, each deck had a plethora of action with the bounce+scry lands and subtle (or not so subtle)...

Any advice for building this without the energy subtheme? Does it involve finding green cards that pivot between a stompy-aggro approach and +1/+1 counters? Also, I may relax the budget some... I suppose I should do some investigation before asking too many Qs :)
