    General Guaranteed Power - a real 'Vintage' Cube

    I was leaning the other way, since splashing with basic lands (which is essentially the fixing power of Moxen) is quite bad. Bear with me, obviously you run all five Moxen, and you run them instead of lands (unlike, say, Mox Diamond, which counts as a spell). That means you have 11-12 lands...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think Merchant of the Vale is likely better, and Dismissive Pyromancer might be. It does have an activation cost, but it comes online a turn earlier and doubles as a removal spell.

    General [ZNR] Zendikar Rising Spoilers

    This is a rare, I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. Usually, cycles don't include 6 lands (though of course there are a very small number of exceptions).

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Helm and Glare are nasty in a token deck like this!

    General Zendikar Rising - Magic Panel

    Is that a hedron floating just out of frame in the middle of the art?

    General Making broken cards fair

    I tried Glare of Subdual in my cube once, and it was still miserable. I have fond memories of my Squirrel Opposition deck (featuring Static Orb), but I don't like its effect on lower power cubes.

    General Fight Club

    Oh I don't know about that, I drew heavy inspiration from an existing cube ( https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/5d8416b5bc8ca26a572982f0]link[/url]), which in turn was inspired by two articles (linked on their overview). As they say, I stand on the shoulders of giants :) That doesn't mean...

    General Blue cantrips or "Why not run a billion Brainstorms?"

    I used to run a lot of one mana black discard spells (Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, etc.), but over the years I've accepted grillo's wise words, and replacing them with 2 cmc alternatives has worked out great. Since draw and discard are two sides of the same coin, I wondered if good 1...

    Don't forget that you can cross out mana symbols as well :)

    General Fight Club

    Haha, cool suggestions, but honestly, I chose the proxy alterations to be low maintenance / easy to apply. Putting all the art through a filter means extra work, especially if you want to do a palette swap instead of an "easy" filter. I've been doing some Google searches, and palette swapping...

    General Fight Club

    Yeah, I totally agree with you on the clarity issue. In a regular cube, replacing the mana cost of only a handful of cards in the entire pool could be confusing. I was contemplating this technique for a hypothetical cube where every card's casting cost is affected though :) I actually own a...

    I was planning to see how it looks if you cut out the casting cost of the original card with a sharp knife, and replace it with the new one and use just a single tape on the backside of the card. Depends on how clean of a cut you can make, I think. Maybe it's easier to replace the entire top...

    This idea is going to cost me ten years of my life if/when I finally get around to doing that "everything costs 1 mana less" cube :(:D

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I actually put Scaretiller into my The Grand Odyssey card file :) I have decent hopes for it in this particular format!

    I've tested both the Lamia and Final Parting, and both were fun but underwhelming in my environment. Turns out, five mana is a lot for a tutor.

    General Show me your Simic decks

    One of my drafters got 3rd place with a Simic Ramp deck back when we still could draft IRL. The decklist can be found in this post.

    The Grand Odyssey

    Lately D&D has been taking up the time I spend behind my laptop, but the campaign is nearing its end, so it's only a matter of time before I can tinker with this cube again :)

    General Fight Club

    Do note that one of those three noncreature cards you want to bounce is white, which is a point in favor of the Skyfisher. I don't think you run Oketra's Monument, but that is another card that could swing this fight in either direction, depending on whether you're into super synergistic pairs...
