Speaking of durdly cards... Obelisk of Alara I added this to my cube recently, after Goldenpineapple reported it was too durdly for him and was among his least favourite cards ever. MUST DURDLE HARDER Planeswalkers?

There's one regular in my group who drafts questionable blue or green-based midrange durdly decks every time, but hasn't taken down a draft thus far (Lucas, you know who I'm talking about). The one time he was late and missed the entire draft portion, we busted out the MODO-style picks for him...

Would it help if we renamed the forum? I'm aware of the stigma that "Custom Card Creation" might have at other digs around the net, so I'm open to suggestions. Custom Cube Cards?

I agree. WBR control is probably the only viable non-blue control archetype here, thanks in no small part to its army of planeswalkers. Olivia Voldaren helps, too!

I'm not sure that mana rocks that make multiple colorless mana automatically slot into combo decks over control decks. Control is just as happy to power out an early Gideon Jura, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, or Karn Liberated as a combo deck is to do anything broken with them. In fact, I'd say it's...

Yeah, I'm with you on that first point. After some thought, I'm forgoing slotting in Mizzium Mortars, or other creature-only based burn. Everything either has to go to the face, or otherwise wipe out multiple creatures to be worthwhile in cube. I'm actually not sure what it would take for...

I think FSR is right on the money. Of all the things that colourless fast mana does for a cube, enabling Wildfire decks is pretty far down on that list. It's much more likely that midrange and control decks will snap them up as fast as they can to power out some unfair spells well ahead of...

Hmmm. Let's give this maybe a week or so? If none of us are happy with the arrangement by that time, we'll fold it all back into the main cube forum.

This is a good concern to raise. Without a separate forum, I think you guys are constrained by the single thread, but I see what you mean about the walled garden, cause I never step foot into the card creation forums on other sites. I think it helps that you guys are designing with cube in mind...

Maybe that should just be our trademark now. Pixelated mouse cursors over everything!

i what oh shit i remember doing a screenshot, that must be my mouse pointer omg it's HUGE

And some sweet ones at costs other than four mana!

I think the main problem is that you guys are constrained by that one dinky thread, which you guys have outgrown. Heck, that was the problem with this original GBS thread. So go ahead and bust your chops in the new Card Creation Forum, and feel free to create new threads for your own individual...

I might be alone here, but as a huge (and only?) fan of the punisher mechanic, I'm reallllllly excited about the tribute mechanic. The {4}{R} common they showed as a sample has me salivating. I like that the choice offered is less all-or-nothing than with previous incarnations of this mechanic...

How has Ashenmoor Gouger been for people? I remember it being pretty iffy back in Standard even when there were mono-red and R/B Demigod of Revenge aggro decks. Ooh, I just remembered I'm running Creakwood Liege already. That helps. Maybe the Whip needs to come back in...

When you paste an image into the text editor, just grab the handles at the corners and resize it.

What are people doing to enable black devotion? I tossed in Erebos and Gray Merchant on a whim, but I'm preeeeeeeeeetty sure they're both horrible right now. I guess this is a result of cutting back on {b}{b} and {b}{b}{b} cards bit by bit over the years.

Other than Wasteland, is there anything that crosses this threshold? I just demoted Gavony Township and Treetop Village from the main list to the utility draft, because while they're powerful when included in the right decks, I noticed they weren't being picked over actual spells. Which leaves...

Wizards needs to print more good lands. My blue section (Faerie Conclave, Halimar Depths, Shelldock Isle) is always cleaned out by the end of the second round, while the Jund colour lands go unclaimed. The colours aren't particularly well-balanced right now. Laz has a great point about tap...

Now if you did have some Champions, I bet they would trigger...
