Yeah, I know that should work, but I'm not going to do that :)

I believe I have four Antiquities Ornithopters in my collection... hmm...

I was going to say read, but after a quick Google I found out it's been adapted into a three-season animated series around the turn of the century. The series gets a whopping 8.2 on IMDB, and the best part is that it's available on Amazon Prime. Instant add to the watchlist, thanks for prompting...

I think that slivers and energy are both poisonous mechanics. You basically want as many as you can get, because each extra sliver or energy card you can get makes the mechanic perform better, and non-sliver/non-energy cards are consequently less interesting. For energy this problem is more...

Aw, I didn't know the tags weren't exposes through an API, and you're right, they're not even complete. Still useful though!

While reminder text is indeed not rules text, it was definitely a bit too short hand. Your original reminder text was "A hiding creature has hexproof, first strike and can't be blocked. Remove a counter after it deals damage or you target it." This reminder text confused me, because it does not...

LAST GROUP STAGE HYPE!!! GROUP H Nanonox Graverob N (When this creature enters the battlefield, mill N cards, then exile N creature cards from your graveyard. If you do, create a Treasure token.) Mown Hiding (A creature with a hiding counter on it has hexproof, first strike and can't be...

You know what would be cool? If you could search for a card web that looks something like the LuckyPaper cube map. Enter a card name, and it shows that card as a dot in the middle, connected with various isles that have more or less overlap with the tags of your card (optionally/by default...

Aaaand we're back! Let's dive into group G's entries! GROUP G ellogeyen Empowered (Creatures with power greater than their base power are empowered.) Gamusino Galvanize M (The next instant or sorcery you cast this turn cost M less to cast.) Strionic Adventurer Thrive (At the beginning...

This one article I wrote undermines my entire identity as the resident troll :rolleyes: Excellent synopsis, somebody pin this!

To be fair, they’ve a) got a point, and b) we’re still talking about how these two podcasts can be applied to cube design. Like, the “tools” (or mindset) are presumably discussed in those podcasts.

Let's all be friends here! Harvest Wurm

That said, Man-o'-War and Nekrataal were super iconic for a reason.

I feel you, but I'm not going to let the silly frame withold me from playing some absolute bangers from that set. The basic {b}{g}{u} landcyclers in particular are the bee's knees, frame be damned :) There's plenty of resonant fantasy that would fit the Magic IP, though LotR and GoT are...

Maybe try incorporating UW in another way than how you did it... At least I got a Greymond, Avacyn's Stalwart for my human deck before they pulled support for UW.

I’m afraid there is no right answer here, because it all depends on how much interaction you want your players to have. What you can do is look at how much interaction you want your players to have. For example, if you want your drafters to have four pieces of removal on average, that’s 16 cards...

Well, I don’t want blue to look like colorless mana. Blue as a color identity still comes with expectations of what is and what isn’t in pie. You’re still playing blue spells, it’s just that every deck in the draft is blue. It would look and feel weird if Counterspell cost {2} in this...

The idea is to have diamond mana replace blue as one of the five colors. Instead of basic lands you’ld be running Tundras and other blue duals in the basic land box instead of basics. It would require some customs, like an Island Wastes dual (yeah, we’re going to have to make Wastes a basic land...

With every set that features diamond mana my dream of an Eldrazi "blue is the new colorless" cube is coming one step closer!

I agree with you on the importance of manafixing, but distinguishing between "help you cast your spells" and "let you cast your spells" feels a bit like a tomayto, tomato situation. The answer to "what happens when you don't draw the right colors" is "you can't cast your spells" either way. If...
