    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've thought quite a bit about running the Scholar or the Gearhulk and I'm increasingly opposed to the former. Seven mana is too much for fair decks and it has some real busted potential. So I'll just revise a few cards instead. Do you see any cards, especially in red, white and black that could...

    Command the Dreadhorde is much worse than it looks. Her'es one I'm undecided on: Scholar of the Lost Trove vs Torrential Gearhulk Gearhulk is not as good as it seems in my cube, as I don't run as many instants. However, Scholar costs seven mana which is a lot. It also has blowout potential...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks a lot for the decklists Nanonox! They were very helpful. What I wonder is: How many Laboratory Maniac effects do I need to run in my cube? Is one enough? I could use the slot. Thassa's Oracle Laboratory Maniac My woes have also been done away with, as the newly spoiled Elite...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've been thinking about some potential changes in UBR. ONE Bloodsoaked Champion Bloodsoaked Champion -> Bloodsoaked Champion Gravecrawler There's not much of a need for two humans and I think Gravecrawler could open some interesting lines of play. I don't have many zombies, though, so...

    Tradewing Rider is maligned sometimes because it's repeateble bounce but I've found very skill-testing in practice. Just bouncing the same permanent over and over is rarely the best play, especially as your opponent adapts. It's a fairer Oppossition-like card. If you like what Oppossition brings...

    I hadn't considered Force of Virtue. However, if you don't have enough white cards to pitch, it's four mana, two more than Intangible Virtue. Do you think the card is playable on normal terms?

    I want to support tokens but I'm not sure if a broader anthem would be better. Which one do you like more and why? Intangible Virtue Glorious Anthem

    So far it doesn't actually seem very Potter-esque so it's actually fine to me. But I just can't keep a straight face when I see stuff like "Toralf's Hammer". It totally breaks my immersion and feels cheap and tired. I like games because they offer me new ideas and themes to explore. Seeing that...

    Golden butterflies? I'm sorry, but witches aren't real. Anyways, I agree the theme is dumb. But I think all Magic set based on existing worlds with the number filed off are. I'm surprise we still don't have Sherlock Holmes in the game, seems like an inevitable candidate.

    By why would you want to run Omnath? I mean, it's a four colour card that gets back its cost in mana, tempo and cards. There's nothing else to it.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    The addition of Reflector Mage has been a good one. It works well in tempo decks. It also makes blink more of a thing given the other tools the arctheype has access to. Perhaps Blink is more of a tool and doesn't lean as much into midrange as I had hoped but it's good enough for my revision of...

    I'm glad you guys managed to make it work. I couldn't and it felt like you had to have a very high number of artifact creatures for it to be worth playing.

    Dom's Stream of Consciousness

    Let me share my thoughts here. 1) I like the small snow splash. I've actually been thinking of running exactly the same cards. If you are running Icehide Golem to support aggro in different archetypes, please try Gingerbrute. It's a great, versatile card and has a bunch of cool synergies...

    General Let me draft your cube

    You have drafted my cube a lot so I could only lend you a hand. 1) First, it's clear this is a sketch. You have more payoffs and synergy enablers than cards that serve different roles. You'll probably have to work on the bread and butter of the cube over everything else. 2) You have too many...

    General Introducing the Cube Map – find out how your cube fits within the Cube Universe!

    This is fantastic! And it is extremely useful, you can see similar cubes and see what others are doing. I'm not surprised my cube is near Sigh, Trainmaster and Onder. I wonder how far away Inscho would have been before he changed his cube radically, he has been my main source of inspiration. I...

    What about building a Commander cube except your "commander" has its own victory condition? Also you just reminded me I need to turn my Netrunner collection into a cube.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I wrote a big post but I lost it. Anyways, before I could fully work on improving Jeskai I had to make some small changes. I was using Cube Cobra to make a list of potential changes and additions so I had to put those in before changing Jeskai: In Bident of Thassa Prized Amalgam Steel Hellkite...

    I'm looking for 2 and 4 drop creatures that are worth blinking or getting back to your hand with Kor Skyfisher and other similar cards.
