Yet another case of ‘you got screwed because you were that particular random color’. Something Wizards went away from until ‘hexproof from color’ creatures in Dominaria. Just poor design. Give it unblockable and make sure to give it other downsides/increase mana cost so it feels fair. Like...

Thanks Rowan. Will I give you that Ondezeeboot. As long as there is but a single card in any given deck (by the 7 opponents) then the card can be interacted with. When talking about those two specific cards then this discussion almost doesn’t matter because they are so average to destroy with...

Well yes if you only look at the percentage of cards that can target ‘hexproof from color’ cards and compare them to hexproof then of course there will be more cards that can target it :) But it does not seem fair nor fun that a certain random opponent can and another certain random opponent...

I am not talking power level. I am talking design. Wizards have gone further and further away from ‘hate towards only one color’ up until hexproof from ‘color’. As have Riptiders. Being a Riptider does not only mean to power down a cube a bit or a lot in order to increase synergies, cross-color...

They were sort of a step backwards from where we have come. The ‘hexproof from..’ cards have the same problem as the five Mirrodin Swords: They hate on some opponents without hating on others and it is completely random and the players have no control over it. A player’s color should not be the...

I know I shouldn’t have asked because I thought I would get an answer like this :P Since I have never heard of that weird ‘Pinnacle of unfair Magic’ about Murder then I ask for a source. A link to a direct quote that represents ‘people’ or a statistic of some sort. This is no Gossip Girl fan...

I have never heard anyone have that opinion :) As a man of science, I ask you this: Do you have a source for that statement?

Excellent point regarding Outpost! I prefer Dark-Dweller Oracle although it is not participating in this particular fight.

This begs the question: Would you also like to run Future Sight then? It costs 3 less mana but goes live 1 turn later. And is color shifted.

Well I make mistakes too ;) I wanted the land to be really good, I wanted it to be flavorful, I wanted it to support Aristocrats sacrifice theme and I wouldn’t mind surveil on it since surveil can be used in other strategies too. But right now the card might be too good. This is the most recent...

Here are all the draft ability cards that we used to play but no longer have in the Fantasy Cube: Analysis Backfired was cut from the Fantasy Cube when we decided to cut Iterative Analysis because it was simply too good. Plans Stolen was cut from the Fantasy Cube when we decided to...

The artifact draft ability comes with Mana Vault. This card is obviously broken. However it is the only truly broken mana rock in the cube and it usually only taps once each game unless the game goes really long. The opponent is required to have a good spot removal :p Honestly I can't remember...

I wanted to write this in my cube blog but since it was asked, I will sit down and write this now. Spoiler alert: You will read it again once I finish the blog :P How draft picks work in the Fantasy Cube: So each draft pick gives the player more than one card (with a few exceptions) In...

Exactly! :) So there is one in each color (I actually had a hard time figuring out which should be the green one until Ondezeeboot told me Garruk, Primal Hunter was more OP than I had experienced.), one regular artifact, one equipment, one land and one conspiracy. If you’d like to see them...

This is the reason why I didn’t slam the ‘final result’ into this group in the first place :P To answer your questions one at a time: 1. How do you reveal the Jitte? You do it like you reveal other draft-matters cards from Conspiracy sets. Think of Cogwork Spy 2. What if I never see Jitte or...

Could you argue why, please? And would you put it in pack 1, 2 or 3?

Well that is very good but it kind of requires you to not need to cast that kill spell, that Ponder, that Bolt and that Shock until turn 6. I know that is doable but can it merit a deck?

That line of logic is solid! But how do you make such a card work in cube? Are you suuuuper low power or am I misunderstanding how good/bad this card actually is?

As I posted the card here I just realized it is ‘card pool’ and not ‘card pile. Gotta errata that on 9 cards now. Nice :)

Still not sure about the name because most people will read it as "Gift from the Gods" The Marketplace is sort of like the Utility Land Draft although there are also non-lands and cards can only be purchased by spending Fantasy Coins, which are custom cards that must be picked from booster...
