Phenomenal post. Gonna be thinking about this for a while. Thank you.

And here are some (spoilered for size) CubeCobra test drafts I've been doing all month to figure out what goes in a deck and what never makes a 40 (and should, therefore, be cut). They also serve to get me hyped for the kinds of games I'd like to see.

I'm still working on my 2022 iteration - I may have a playgroup again??? - but here are a few design theories I'd like my cube to test. THEORY 1: Free counterspells enable 'protect the queen' Baneslayer-style threats. This could be provocatively renamed SOME OF THOSE THAT CAST FORCES / ARE THE...

ONE (NOTHING WRONG WITH ME) Long time no see, RipLab! I've made maybe a dozen-ish posts since mid-2020, but I'm finally revising my Cube now that I'm letting other people enter my home again. I'm doing well! To get past the small talk and into this topic, here's what I've been up to lately...

i would suck boros reckoner's dick while taking heavy fire

It's been almost 2 years since my last post, but I've been playing a lot of Arena lately, and now that I've got my second shot, I'm genuinely thinking about updating my Cube again. I saw this guy on a mtgtop8 Bring to Niv list: General Ferrous Rokiric and i was like oh man I want to finally port...

Speaking of this, I've long run (and loved) a custom Augur of Bolas I got from someone here - 1/3 human wizard for 1U, same ability but 'instant, sorcery, or human' It's obviously support for humans tribal (the only tribal that works without finesse) but also, in control decks, so many of your...
