Well, luckily this is Odyssey block, where there is graveyard hate in spades :)

I'm definitely veering more toward Odyssey and Innistrad. The major problem with threshold is that there aren't really great ways to fill the graveyard in Odyssey block. You don't want to immediately hit threshold, but you do want to be able to get there during the course of a game. Cheap...

I started a thread for the Grand Odyssey cube! If you can identify a better theme for RW in Odyssey block, do speak up :confused:

Archetypes This is the hard part. Odyssey had next to no explicit archetype support for specific color pairs. Sure, UG Madness was wildly popular back in the day, but there is nothing dictating {G/U} is actually about madness any more than, say {R/G}, which also had access to terrific madness...

Introduction Once upon a time, someone with too much time on their hands, and too little opportunities to do live drafts with one of their two cubes (curse you COVID-19!) thought it was a good idea to start a third cube. I may not have a lot of opportunities to draft my cubes, even under...

I believe they are not. I have no confirmation from WotC directly, but here's one (usually well-informed) source saying so: https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2020/06/jumpstart-previews-begin-with-new-legends-and-dual-lands/ To quote the relevant paragraph (emphasis mine): I've seen other...

Okay, after studying the block some further, it's going to be hard to assign themes to the color pairs. There are hardly any build-arounds, and those that do exist are mostly focused around the same stuff. This limited format is going to take more importing stuff from other blocks than I...

Baleful Strix is quite powerful, but because it's only a 1/1, it never feels overwhelming. It's still in my cube, despite overperforming for years now. Tidehollow Sculler is completely fine, but be aware of sac outlets, because it uses the old wording (with two separate triggers, meaning the...

Better? :)

Also, my original goal was not to include new keywords, but Odyssey only had three keywords over the span of a three-set block, and white's madness spells are rubbish, so I don't know if I can get away with that. We'll see I suppose. Anyway, if anything, I would be looking for a graveyard-based...

Yeah, I know :) I initially put it in that before the reminder text for flashback, but it looked really off. In the end I decided to just skip it. There's enough glorious regression of terminology to appreciate the effort, I think ;)

I knew I wanted it immediately here, since the other two arts don't fit Odyssey at all. The most hilarious thing (to me) is that almost everything about this card had to be changed. Human didn't exist as a creature type back in Odyssey, flash didn't exist, the battlefield didn't exist, and...

Random suggestions for one white and one black card? I can do that! Ajani's Sunstriker Akroma's Vengeance Knight Exemplar Champion Lancer Watcher Sliver Farbog Revenant Terror Hideous End Lich Tooth Collector There, 10 random suggestions!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Cackling with glee over here! :D

That is a really good reprint!

Yeah, though to be clear, I don't want an Innistrad vibe. It's mostly an Odyssey block cube, but I'll be lending some cards from Innistrad because the madness cards in Odyssey are... not a homerun. Not all of them at least. Innistrad also has flashback, which is another big keyword from Odyssey...

I found out what's going to be the worst thing for this cube :eek: https://scryfall.com/search?q=t:basic block:ody unique:art&order=set Do you have any idea how expensive it is going to be to gather an immersive stack of basic lands for this cube? Hundreds of euros! :( Like, cool, I can...

I already need to print custom old style reprints, and I use customs in my current environment. I'm sure completing some incomplete land (!) cycles is going to work out just fine :) Edit: To be clear, I'm absolutely not planning on adding custom nonland cards! I might need to make the cube...

Well... Looking at your list, mine is going to be preeeetty different :D But I won't let you down, promised! Here's a very premature look at my list: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/tgo I'm adding 3 of each common and 2 of each uncommon, and actually making weighted boosters, so I can play...
