Regarding the use of 7 Evolving Wilds: (also Prismatic Lens, Mana Geode, and a few green fixers) It was mentioned that the cube might need more fixing, such as more Evolving Wilds. That might be true, but for now it's hard to figure that out, since the CubeCobra bots pick them really highly...

Thanks to japahn for an invaluable testing and feedback session. Also thanks to the others that drafted the cube on CubeCobra. Out: Vampire Nighthawk Languish Lich's Caress Pull from Tomorrow Browbeat Burning Prophet Mistral Singer Short Sword Crystal Ball In: Hypnotic Specter Crux of Fate...

Here's a neat one: Hua Tuo, Honored Physician

I drafted a welder deck. I passed on Saheeli, Sublime Artificer in this deck since I wanted all the creatures. I took Makeshift Munitions, but I don't think any deck would prefer that over Goblin Bombardment. Welder artifact decks are my idea of a good time, so that was fun to draft. My other...

This is my first time seeing this thread. I love this idea. This cube might be able to accommodate some fun triple black mana costs: Grave Pact Bridge from Below Dark Prophecy Death Cloud Doomsday Cruel Bargain Geralf's Messenger Phylactery Lich

Good idea. I was hoping to get a few auras in the cube, and the initial batch got mostly removed since they were weak. For now I added Power of Fire in place of Cunning Sparkmage. Although I do like Cunning Sparkmage as a card. He might go back in if I shuffle the red 2 and 3 drops around a bit...

So, I removed Squall Drifter, since I agree that snow is a wart on an otherwise clean design. I replaced it with Gideon's Lawkeeper in a batch of changes. Later, I added Saddled Rimestag without realizing it was another snow creature. I've found a lot of annoying little design blemishes on...

Here are a few older enchantments that look at the top card: Call of the Wild Impromptu Raid Lurking Predators Killer Instinct

Nitpicking is welcomed. I did some more nitpicking of my own on the list. I can't leave things alone. I did some draft simulations with four packs of 9 or 10 instead of five packs of 9, and it seems to work pretty well. Reading less cards and spending less time making cuts keeps things...

Thanks for the feedback and the drafts! I updated a bunch of cards to smooth out the power curve, and I also attended a bit to the mana curves. I think this has helped to make it less of a bimodal power distribution. I do want a difference in power levels, but not in a way that leaves a bunch...

Some issues that I've noticed already. I'm sure other people can spot various others that I haven't noticed yet. 1) Black is more wordy than the other colors, and the graveyard theme got more extensive than initially intended. I like the way the grave theme looks in combination with the life...

I've created the Simplicity Cube, a cube for beginning players using some ideas from existing designs (see bottom). Similar to the 180 Beginner Cube, I want this to work with 4 player drafting and also be useful for creating quick mono-color decks for teaching a new players, including kids...

Two colors, two pieces of the reanimator plan. Seems appropriate to me.

Quick comparison to other recent 3GG creatures with some of the same abilities: Crested Herdcaller Vigilant Baloth Arborback Stomper Keeper of Fables Silverback Shaman The comparison only gets sillier if you look at 4GG creatures and see how much weaker they are. Rares and mythics willl be...

This is a cool design. The equip cost of just 1 makes this pretty solid. https://mythicspoiler.com/m21/cards/maleficentscythe.html

FYI, I have kept up with the changes you've made to this cube, and I've been collecting the cards to build it. I've looked around for other cubes that share some of the same qualities you're striving for, but I haven't really found anything else like it.

Who the hell is this guy? That's what comes to mind as I read this excellent post, along with a bunch of tangents to read the linked content, including the remarkable post about modular cubes. I came onto this forum this evening looking for something interesting and stimulating, and my brain is...

Here's what I came up with last night: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/148545. Given the cards I own, this ends up being about a $175 cube makeover. Not too bad. I subbed in a mix of 30 dual lands that I own. I'll probably buy checks and shocks when they rotate out of standard and skip the...

I love the design principles behind this cube. The level of balance and depth evident in this cube are really refreshing. Choosing to make the format slow and lower powered is not intuitive, but I think it makes a ton of sense if the goal is to design the most satisfying draft format. I don't...

I was scratching the surface of your cube last night, and I'm very interested in it. I might have to price it out and consider using it as a template. I had actually wondered about the viability of a slower cube with a different sort of aggro. Thanks for including UW and UG examples, because...
