Last year I introduced reanimator as a fully supported strategy to my Casual Champions Cube. I wasn't sure if such an inherently unfair strategy could be adapted to a fair, lower powered cube – but so far, it was quite the success. "Unfair" things aren't exclusive to max power/vintage/legacy...

Oh no, Mechanized Ninja Cavalry is a perfect addition for my cube :(

Wow, this set is really worse than spiderman

Kitchen Finks I recently read @landofMordor's awesome article about hybrid mana. Now I was considering moving Kitchen Finks to my core cube. It's a great card, works with many themes in my cube and would probably make a main deck in 97% of drafts, if it was a core card. It's not a power outlier...

I don't know, being a little mana/color screwed and then lose because your opponent could get rid of your two fixing lands is the kind of bs that makes me think "greatest hits" don't make for a fun cube environment

I might proxy a version of this that has no turtles in the art, token type line or set symbol. Sneak spells are pretty cool.

That was my first idea too, but it would be weird for that spell to have sneak :D

Huh, turns out I get a Divination with sneak. But this time, I'd really have to proxy a universes within version.

Your word in Maro's ear

Damn it I wish there was a {w/u} version of Pond Prophet/Gallant Citizen.

Turn two Bloodrage Brawler, discard Anger, swing for 4+ is the kind of aggro gameplay that sparks joy.

This one: Eclipsed Merror

If you saw that card in a cube pack, would you assume merfolk typal?

I wish Artillery Enthusiast didn't have that weird modified effect

Okay guys, I have a cube idea and I want to check if I'm nuts before I invest more time into it. You are a planeswalker – that's what I was told when I started playing magic, but that's not how planeswalkers work. Instead they move focus away from me. But what if they didn't? My idea is...

I heavily support counters (plus, minus and energy) in my custom Pokémagic cube and for +1/+1 counters, since you want to place them anyway, the best payoff seems to be proliferate. It's also open ended with charge counters and whatnot. So I'd look for a couple low opportunity cost proliferate...

So, WotC Employees are legally not allowed to play with proxies?

Thank you. I didn't convert to cube to hear people make power level judgments. At the last draft table I also heard two guys claiming that a card was "not good enough for cube" as if that made any sense. It made no sense in 2012 and it's a real crime to still say nonsense like that in 2026...

Thanks all for those suggestions, many cool options, some I wasn't aware of at all. These are the highest on my list for potential inclusion in the next update: Ishguard, the Holy See Emeria, the Sky Ruin Cephalid Coliseum Mystic Sanctuary Tomb Fortress Shifting Woodland Animal Sanctuary Geier...

I never wanted too many utility lands, because they can quickly add board complexity. But I think, now with occasionals, my cube would be ripe for a few more. So please hit me with all your favorite utility lands, only make sure they got a little bit of flashyness to them (not all need to be...
