Also, Onderzeeboot, is this card not terrible? Meteorite Or is this part of some esoteric Tinker package?

For my money, burn is super interactive and is a huge key to the crowd favorites UR Tempo deck and UWR Control, both of which (the former more than the latter) have been known to finish off games with a lob to the face. They're also high demand and are inherently decision dense, and it's not...

Which experiment is this?

I don't think it's oppressive, but the question is, does it make your games better? I can see what Lucas is saying about bad Madcap games, but I don't really have a clear verdict on this one.

Good contributions everybody. This is a really interesting discussion!

Maybe, but it's added complexity that isn't really needed. It doess give me an idea though. Imagine you had a basic drafting game, and then in the "advanced" game there were also point cards. Say something with 3 points, 2 points and 1 point. Then after the draft you can redeem said points for...

Draw go playability likely depends on your density of instants. Sorcery speed removal makes counterspells worse. But I think the trend is likely true regardless, just accentuated in Eric's cube.

Remanding a Treasure Cruise has got to be a good feeling.

That's really really interesting!

Any consideration of running more of those and fewer reflecting pools?

What's the name of the land that taps for a color of any color your opponents lands can produce?

I was a little confused by the presence of an "artifacts matters" subtheme, particularly with no Esper in sight. I'll come out and say that seeing something like Scuttling Doom Engine in a tricolor cube is a little weird. Personally I'd have an artifact count close to zero. Changes I would...

I guess we could attack this from another angle. What do / don't you like about playing microsealed with a traditional cube, and how can we try to play up those strengths while abandoning weaknesses?

Delve is a weird mechanic because it's anti-synergistic with itself.

I do think there's a point where you have too much fixing. 70 is a lot. Not that it is bad to have it, but I can see drafting it becoming very tedious. But if you don't have enough, color screw determines a lot of games. I'd also point out that most of our cubes are already pretty multicolor...

There's a deck exporter on cubetutor for Riplab.

Loving these "protection from colors that aren't in the cube" suggestions. 3-color cubes are super fun to design. It's worth keeping in mind that you can't cover as wide a spectrum of themes as in a full cube. I'm not sure how best to handle the tension of "we only have 180 cards" and "it'd...

You can't put Birthing Pod in your 6-drop slot to make your curve look better! :p

I have read 3 books this week. I'll write some mini-reviews and avoid outrageous tangents.
