    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    At this point, I think my cube is more or less finished and just needs polish and maintenance. There are cards I'm not fond of, cards that are a touch too powerful and archetypes that don't quite work but all the groundwork is done. I think I'll let things cools for some time, do a last revision...

    General Fight Club

    Personally, I think Jace drawing one card per turn overshadows him as a funky win condition.

    General The Draft Exchange

    Anyways, I'm drafting astraedm's cube. I actually drafted it yesterday but the deck was a forced mess that I knew wouldn't work so I decided to try again. I start with Search of Azcanta and Fact or Fiction and then pick up more MUC pieces along the way. I grab a couple nice cards and start...

    Spear of Heliodis better from a strict gameplay perspective but I kind of hate it! :eek: I mean, "Legendary Enchantment Artifact"? Having two different types (Artifacts, Enchantments)* for the same kind of card is already fairly questionable design, is there really a big benefit to putting...

    How does multriplayer work in these games? I didn't even know they had them!

    That's an interesting list! I was actually on the verge of adding or cutting some of the cards you added to the decklist or mentioned. For example, Sin Collector was added this very evening because I have the card in paper and thought it would be more versatile and interactive than the...

    Changeling means more targets for the Rebels deck! Here's hoping we get something interesting for that archetype.

    If you guys can do me a favour and draft my cube, I would truly appreciate it. I've done a lot of changes on it and I'm no longer sure what others will think or whether there are serious holes on the list (like, enough fatties or artifact aggro creatures). Thank you :)

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    So I've discovered that Doomsday works in cube. And that it actually makes it very easy to build a deck with a combo finish that doesn't require lots of parasitic slots. And I keep thinking, it might be possible to use Gifts Ungiven in a similar way. We just need some piles that work well with...

    Squandered Resources? Love that card, I would love to see if you can make it work in cube!

    General Cards like Accumulated Knowledge, a solution

    I'm pretty sure this has been proposed before, but it seems interesting. As you know, there are many cards in Magic that work with additional copies. Accumulated Knowledge is the best example, as are Kindle and Legion Conquistador Accumulated Knowledge Kindle Legion Conquistador Now, these...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Don't get me wrong, a Nektraatal with a 4/2 body is great but it's not an effect that comes across as overly strong in the typical cube. I just think the problem of Salvagers is that it takes a lot of work to get the value of a FTK or a Man o'War or any other ETB creature that does it job three...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    In my experience with the card back in the day, Salvagers is very slow if you are not doing something busted with it. It costs 4 to use, 2 to recur a card and then whatever you need to play that artifact and use it. I mean: Turn4) Spend 4 mana to play Salvagers Turn 5) Spend 4 mana to recur...

    I liked Gruul when playing in Arena, but I don't have too much experience with the colours (Playing a red splash in Tooth and Nail does not count!). That may be part of it. And it seems the me, it can work very well. There are good cards in the colours, you can ramp a bit, have a bit of removal...

    I am very unhappy with the available options for Gruul. I like Bloodbraid Elf, because Cascade is fun when you are not chaining it. I like Stormbind, even though it doesn't seem to fit many decks. But I don't like anything else. There are some ok midrange creatures, some cards that seem...

    I saw the possibility of drafting a UW blink deck but I found myself with too many enablers and not enough payoffs. I can gain some life but that won't make me win the game, only delay the inevitable. Fathom Seer seems somewhat slow, expensive and questioanble for the card advantage he provides...

    I knew your name sounded familiar. Do you play OpenTTD too? I think I've seen your avatar on their forums before.

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    I keep wondering what's the minimal support for the archetype. Here's a very old Extended list for inspiration: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=8928&d=250941&f=EX As you can see, there's very little fast mana in the list. In fact, like all Extended storm decks, it's not so much a storm deck as it...
