Full spoiler up now! This is a nice glue card if you're pushing the grindy/GY stuff in WR. Compared to Faithful Mending this being card-neutral (or card advantage if flashbacked!) is really nice The prepared thing is the closest we'll get in paper Magic to @Chris Taylor's Scrolls idea which...

a great plant for Baron Helmut Zemo!!

DRAFT REPORT - MARCH 2026 For our overflowing Cube night (38 people!!) I volunteered up The Box (now encased in PT goodie bag quiver) but didn't have much time to update with new cards or change the old ones beyond cutting a few of my more exotic favourites and doubling down on fixing with the...

Saw a Reddit thread point out that Hardened Academic is also a Persist enabler (in both Finks and Redcap colours!) which intrigues me

Absolute banger and an auto-include for me

Kiora is nice and clean, and cares about the graveyard as much as I do, but Jadzi is a Human + Wizard + I care about <=2 power and tokens more than I should. I love the Steamcore Scholars and Champions of Wits of the world too. It's nice having options!

Very nice little card for the increasingly popular Loot/Draw X theme

Very clean and somewhat appealing if Tainted Indulgence is a thing your Cube would be into anyway. Love it!

EKJ is fine I suppose but there are so many good/cool Fiend Hunters these days. Also I think the most important creatures (/other targets) will often be the cheap ones - lots of pivotal threats coming down on Turn 2 etc these days Tidebinder is a very tricky + swingy card that is often really...

Best wishes day really crept up on me this year

I'm British and have never heard the pig phrase before but I LOVE "every part of the buffalo" Empirically many of my drafters have coded Rydia as some Saga synergy card rather than a landfall/discard machine which is unfortunate

DECEMBER 25* DRAFTATHON (the year, not Christmas (yet (merry Christmas though!)) Before we all hibernate for the holidays the group held an all-day Cube sesh (on my birthday no less!) so I got to give the locals a tour of my mind palace again. My first RiptideLab Google Groups (!) post was in...

Draft Report - Dec 2025 With the end of the year rapidly approaching I launched a multi-pronged attack on myself. I agreed to host a pod at our rapidly engorging Cube night (now at ~30 people taking up an entire floor of a confused bubble tea cafe every week!), forcing me to shake the Cube out...

One nice feature of the family of synergy Cubes around these parts is the heavy focus on artifacts + build-around enchantments + graveyards incidentally makes green (and white! though it needs less help there) a much better interactive colour. You don't want narrow but pushed hate aimed at a...

Granted that I've only drafted this Cube solitaire on CubeCobra, white aggro doesn't seem to be a big part of it at all let alone a dominant deck. White has some neat stuff going on here but in general struggles to find unique/standout things to do more than any other colour and Wave is a card...

Split Up is interesting/unique to an extent but it doesn't reliably fill the role you want a sweeper to fill especially in a slow/control deck. I agree that Pileup is uninspiring but there are plenty of options at 5 mana - maybe What Must Be Done? So many of the good spellslinger payoffs were...

This list is nostalgia bait too - not because I'm some 'Magic reached its platonic form in [year I started playing] and has been ruined every year since' boomer but because these cards are so cool, just look at them! Sakura-Tribe Elder STE (it's DRC and STE, not Darcy and Steve) represents...

Once you have finished educating us about UB can you teach us how Denmark conquered racism?

Yeah, the relative success of LOTR + FF + Avatar in blending in just makes Spiderman look even more heinous

Nice one here for any fans of Cryptic Command loops etc (or Doppelgang, Flash Photography etc...)
