But now that I see it laid out, maybe it's a shit idea. Like, imagining picking a deck out of this is pretty challenging, the movement is too restricted.

Here's a prototype: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18DqSK0R_s5vOVqnQmGTrLtvHqPGRMJ5kRBbhQ8WZRHk/edit?usp=sharing This is after 6 moves. Each player placed their initial pawn, then Hannes used his Rook and James moved his pawn, with current move on Jason.

Each player has one pawn on the board. So your first turn, you place it on the board. On each subsequent turn, you discard another piece to move your pawn with that piece's movement characteristics. So, discard your rook to move like a rook. Discard your knight to move like a knight. Does...

Okay, what if: Each player is given from a standard chess set: 4 Pawns (one is starting piece, can move one space in any direction) A Rook A Knight A Bishop A King/Queen (Kings are Queens for movement purposes) Each player starts by placing a pawn on their starting card (an assigned corner...

Maybe it's dumb, and Grid Drafting already covers it, but it was a thought I had. Probably works best as a 4-player thing. Anybody willing to test / suggest improvements?

Okay, I never knew randomly generated cards could be so entertaining. Some of those are relentlessly terrible.

Cubes aren't really lacking for cards that want to attack, but I think the big downside is that these cards have to attack. Hate on cards like Stoneforge Mystic all you want, but cards that can fill into decks of any speed, while still providing synergy and interactions, are super useful...

Mmm, yes, but I don't know that this sort of cost evaluation is always useful. There are tons of 6-mana creatures out there with 3-mana triggers stapled to them that we don't really play. I don't think it's a bad card, and maybe somebody will post some targets that make it more interesting...

It's Sun Titan that tutors your library instead of your graveyard, creatures instead of all non-lands, doesn't trigger on attacking, has worse stats and no vigilance.

I always like to picture it in action. Let's imagine a dasher. You take a turn off of dashing to play Flameshadow Conjuring. Next turn you Dash and pay :r: to get two dashers. At this point you've made the same number of dashes, but spent more mana, and, critically, a card. You have to pay...

I don't expect to often see a cube setting where, by the time you are casting your third instant or sorcery, the extra forest is relevant for non-thinning purposes. But spell mastery seems like a great mechanic that cares about deck-building and sequencing, so I guess it's neat that the option...

Speaking of Metroid games...

No, my laptop can't run Project M at a reasonable frame rate.

In many cubes, what are you needing ramp for once you hit 5 (or 6!) mana?

I wish the Mother of Goons ability was on a more playable card. How playable is Goblin Goon. I love me some beefy vanillas with restrictions.

I don't know, I just had some vision of a snuff version of MTG where Chandra's parents are brother and sister. What if you only catch a spark if you're the product of incest? The south would be crazy.

I don't know, I was just kind of getting a Lannister vibe from that card.
