I think we were toying with this trigger before, but on a sorcery instead of a body. These cards look great, what a cool set. Far more exciting than Magic 20XX.

Do people consider opposition to be net fun positive? I haven't had too many bad cube experiences with it. Opposition + Master of Waves seems like a good time or a bad time, depending on your perspective. The CFB Cube crew was pretty anti Smokestack for being a shitty card. My experiences...

Then it'd be Think Twice with a side effect?

I think this is a good direction, even if some picks seem a little suspect. As long as the focus stays on cards that are narrow and enabling I think it's got solid rationale.

Uh, that was me, wasn't it?

Yeah, I was thinking about if something with simultaneous selection would work too, but then you'd need some method of resolving "ties" or whatnot. It just looks challenging to put together a sensible deck, and not as strategic as I had hoped.

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.

:2:{U}{B}{R}, draw 6 cards, get a 3/3 flier and a 2/2 haste flier

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...
