    Shamim's Cube

    Love to hear about the new hot tech when it comes to sleeves and stickers. This is way better than how I'm doing it. The five deck boxes for basics is a super idea, and those foils really do pop.

    General Rethinking Color Mana Curve

    Very exciting. I bet you could do some data crunching on limited sets and at least get some baseline values, and see if there's a trend w/r/t how good those formats were.

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    I've played Transmute Artifact in Legacy, where it helped me turn a Shardless Agent into Thopter/Sword. (old decklist) Even then, it was barely good, but it worked pretty well. Fulcrum points out a useful not-so-edge-case where you can entomb an artifact fatty to reanimate later if you're short...

    That's actually shamizy's cube, but I crib from it a lot. Dom actually did a bunch of drafts of my cube (including a Doomsday deck!) so whoever goes next should draft his cube, which I believe is this one: http://www.cubetutor.com/draft/59208

    And I drafted yours! First I went through and drafted a pretty straightforward UB control list, but seeing multiple copies of Strip Mine really surprised me. I picked them up because they were a lot stronger than other options, but it got me thinking about aggro in your environment. I find...

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    Diabolic Intent is really fair. In the past I've played it in Nic Fit with Veteran Explorer, which is about the best-case scenario, but it's fine and playable in all sorts of Cubes.

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I've been tweaking the less-defined colour pairs (BW, RG, UW) and now I think there are a number of diverse strategies available to drafters. Some selected cubetutor decks to show off new life in old archetypes: I also wanted to examine a tension in the format between graveyard-based...

    As always in the Penny Pincher drafts I do, I see some eye-catching little win condition for a hard control deck and try excessively to make it work. This time it's Mystical Teachings/Rise from the Tides control, with Necromancer's Covenant as a second mini-Tides. Noyan Dar makes the wall of...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I made another large-ish patch to my Cube after being a little discontent with the weaker cards in my power band. The gist of the changes is some of the less 'real' combo shells are gone, the power band has gone up slightly, and generally speaking, 'cute' but underperforming cards have been...

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    I'd like to bring this list up to date and throw more effort into smoothing out its meta. Does anyone have some favourite lands-matters, untap, or human tribal cards they think got slept on since Khans block? Or any stealth favourites in general. Thanks!

    Sets Hour of Devastation Thread

    it's the kind of card name r/custommagic would instantly decry as stupid and bad, and they're experts at being stupid and bad

    Sets Hour of Devastation Thread

    I did, but it was slightly stronger. Great card, Abrade should also be very good.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Both players start with an emblem that has Chains of Mephistopholes' oracle text, and once they hit five life are given a Teferi's Puzzle Box.

    rijstafel is very bougie and worth doing with a large group, but not worth it with a small group. Fun time. Get some war, which is like poutine but with peanut sauce and mayonnaise instead of the gravy and cheese curds. also very good.

    Hearthstone

    Rank 5, I was too busy for the legend grind and didn't want to try for top 64 like a lot of people were. Wild definitely felt bigger than usual, especially at 5-L. I really like Pirate Warrior from a meta design perspective - the strongest aggro deck in the format is a synergy deck full of...

    Hearthstone

    Wild Freeze and 4-crab Standard Mid Hunter. I really like Renolock, Midrange Anyfin decks (including Secret Palafin) and had a great time with Combo Druid but of course that one was too good to last in Standard. I keep coming back to Freeze, though - the skill ceiling is enormous and even after...

    Hearthstone

    Slower midrange decks. The format's critical turn is like 4-6 right now so you need a particular kind of build to play a seven-drop that doesn't have immediate impact. You'll see him in secret and flood paladin, quest priest, some reno builds, and non-beast mid hunter.
