    Kor Skyfisher vs Charming Prince I think I have one too many of these effects. Ant recommendations?

    Is there a way in Cubecobra to see the least (and most) drafted cards in your cube?

    Walls are awesome, making aggro players cry is just icing on the cake.

    General Fight Club

    I would never cut Sol'Kanar, it being a very strong card in your cube is unique, fun and far better than an efficient planeswalker or whatever. I would just cut Bolas, which is a less interesting card than all others.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Cutting down the losers and shoring up major archetype weaknesses through power cards has been a real breakthrough. I'm still seeing exactly the same archetypes as before, but I spend less cards doing so. This liberates space to support more archetypes and improve the cube. Some changes: 1)...

    I knew they were going to "phase it out" despite the slight functional change the moment I saw they put the keyword on the new Teferi.

    General Show me your Simic decks

    I'm having a bit of trouble with my Simic section at the moment. It seems difficult to move into it, even if it's open, and I'm not overly fond of the resulting decks. I was wondering what your Simic decks look like and if you wouldn't mind sharing them for inspiration.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think it's a plain +2/+2. The token is pretty minor and you are only going to get it if you are winning significantly. After all, to get the token you need: A creature An equipment attached to that creature To be attacking If you are losing, your creature got blow up or the like, it's...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Let's explore this a bit: Why did I start getting cool graveyard/discard-based decks the moment I cut all the support cards? The answer is easy: Those cards weren't useful and instead of helping me create new archetypes were distracting me from them. For example, I was running too many...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've gone through the cube and cut some cards that were redundant or weren't working properly. Not in-depth, just some small changes. Here are some of them: Phyrexian Reclamation Saproling Burst Valorous Stance Trade Routes Windfall These are all good cards that found themselves into too...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Are there any big artifacts in green you would recommend to support Welder, Tinker and the like? I've only found those two: Verdurous Gearhulk The Great Henge Sadly, The Great Henge is the kind of card I dislike: It's hard to interact with, snowballs hard and even provides life gain to make...

    It's not worth it. You cannot run as many lands to justify it. Consider running Exploration or even Fastbond instead.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    No, don't worry! You were very kind and helpful. I'm just agreeing with you. I agree think that trying to keep historic value is always going to come with a cost. The ideal cube from a game-design perspective is not going to include cards because to include, say, Swords to Plowshares because...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks a lot for the thoughts inscho. I think you are right on all counts. Int he end my cube is very much a typical cube with some care put into archetypes. And I can see the historical angle is pretty much a novelty, though I don't play Magic enough for it to matter. Like you say, the easiest...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    For me showcasing the history of the game is important, but I've already sacrificed quite a bit of it so feel free to make any suggestions you have in mind.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've been doing some testing and small tweaks. I ran the numbers on Cubecobra and it seems white is the most drafted color, followed by red and black. This makes me think Mardu Aggro and variants is the most drafted archetype, followed by other WBR-centric combinations. UG seems to be drafted...
