    General Classic Cube

    I think the only rule that has an impact on the cube is damage on the stack. Several old cards relied on that mechanic to work, like Ravenous Baloth. But it doesn't matter too much and you can just replace them with modern equivalents or accept a slight reduction in power. I'm just sad for Mogg...

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    I just don't understand why R&D keeps doing things they know to be broken. Rosewater is very good designer and he has been leading Magic for decades. He either designed or was around for Lotus Petal, Time Spiral, Yawghmoth's Will, Grim Monolith, Gush and the whole cycle of free spells from...

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    Calling people "simple minds" and implying they are mentally inferior to you is insulting. And it's a much serious insult than calling someone a dick or a twat or a jerk, which are all very soft terms to describe your behaviour. Them not being able to hear you is not a defense, either. If...

    Sets [IKO] Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths

    Just stop being a dick to people, it's not that hard. If you wouldn't say it to their face, don't say it behind their backs.

    General Enchantments not ruining your day

    I run a fairly high power level, but Survival hasn't been a "must deal with". Even when paired with Squee, it places enough constraints on deckbuilding and early mana to not be oppresive. After all, it requires three mana and two cards just to be a tutor. It's a strong card, don't get me wrong...

    General Cubing on MtgA

    Hello and welcome! I've been playing with the MTG Arena cube for a while. It's not great. Like most cubes by Wizards, it's more focused on playing all the "cool bombs" than it is on synergy. The average mana curve is high, with plenty of planeswalkers, and 4 and 5 mana creatures that can take...

    I didn't! So, thank you :)

    I cut Talrand but have been very impressed with Emeria Angel. There are a bunch of advantages that I did not consider at first, but which make the card very reasonable: 1) A 3/3 Flying body is very reasonable. I was surprised to find it doesn't have too many rivals on the sky. Most cards are...

    If you can't cast Cruel Ultimatum. what's even the point of playing Magic? This is a fantastic sugestion. I already run her on my cube and she has been a huge success.

    Thanks Onderzeeboot! Sadly, I was mostly looking for white cards. Sorry for the confusion. Selenesya is actually my most stacked guild. I could run just so many cards in it.

    Thanks Onderzeeboot! Here's a question for you guys: What do you guys recommend to support Wx midrange?

    I'm not kidding when I say that I'm very dissapointed by Battle of Wits not being playable in cube. Battle of Wits

    I run every single card in there except Genesis Chamber (which seems a bit too easy to gum up the game with) and Scrap Trawler (Which I couldn't get to work). I did settle on Sram's Expertise. I played several of the options and Sram's was just the most interesting one to me. It has now become...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I have one fear: I often play matches in which players are down to 7-12 cards in their deck. I like grindy matches. Wouldn't Mesmeric Orb be extremely strong in those situations?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Sakura-Tribe Scout is not a bad card, but I'm not sure it's comparable to a mana dork. I think it's a more specific kind of card, closer to Exploration or Fastbond. The problem with these kind of effects is that, the more lands you have, the fewer spells you've drawn and viceversa. You'll have...

    Your source doesn't work, but I'm more than happy to believe you! I just discoverd there are a lot of fun token decks in my cube. I didn't even plan for them, they are just there, being fun. I drafted one with Marionette Master and wondered if I could run a worse Secure the Wastes to trigger her.

    Is there a card like Secure the Wastes but that creates servos or other artifact creatures? Asking for a friend. Secure the Wastes

    I agree, it looks really nice! I would very much run it in my hypothethical lower power cube.
