Checking cube lists, some cards caught my eye and I wonder if we can't do something with by combining them. Laying down some synergies, hoping some of you have other suggestions to bolster the list. The idea is to have fun with some oversized creatures for their mana costs. Ignoring counters...

Having more time to think cube during the summer, I wanted to run by you fine folks an attempt at updating cube vocabulary. In my experience, enablers, payoffs and glue cards are the most used terms to describe a card's role in a given cube. I think these terms are great at conveying what a...

Seems like Reality Fracture will bring about a lot of life gain. It's a classic archetype that has existed for years, meaning there are a lot of directions you can go. Figured I would post this to get my thoughts straightened out and hopefully get people with more experience to chime in. Not...

https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/asylum You'd have to be out of your mind to draft this cube! With cards in all zones, a plethora of counters and explosive plays, it's going to be a challenge. A challenge I hope will be rewarding, as there are some novel themes (for me at least!) being explored...

Heroes' Hangout is the nudge I needed to explore "cast from exile" archetype. I've never played the archetype but I feel like I've been seeing payoffs here and there and want to see what that looks like. If someone plays it, I'd love to hear how it goes for you. We've been getting a ton of...

I’ve been having fun experimenting with the old border restriction and am intrigued by the possibilities of the various archetypes. I know some of you have experience or even curate some of these cubes and thought it would be fun to steal share ideas. When talking about old-border, I am...

I've been trying to put together a lower power, more nostalgic list, but I'm having trouble coming up with an initial list of 360 cards to curate. So I am trying a different approach than normal and will be adding packages to the cube based on cards I like and archetypes I want represented...

Wasn't planning on posting about a new set, but one card looks really fun. Ranger of Eos is an old favorite of mine and a great source of card advantage that feels like it belongs in White. This new version is obviously super pushed, but it has a few things going for it. + - Great types...

Over the years there have been some great writeups on this site that have helped me improve as a cube designer. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of information, so I thought I could do a recap of the concepts that helped me the most, hopefully as a tool for other designers and as the...

Land Storm! Where do we go from here? Add a card to the thread and pass onto the next! (I have ideas, but you folks always surprise me with your suggestions and this seems more fun). Squandered Resources Rain of Filth Orcish Lumberjack

Wildfire Awakener This new card from MoM, might be the critical piece to unlocking a new archetype, or at least taking an existing one to a new level. It isn't a high powered archetype, but should fit into a lot of cubes in this forum. Tl;dr - A Boros archetype that isn't equipment matters -...

We posted a thread about this last year and I enjoyed reading people's answers, so I figured I would post it here and see what people share. I guess that means I have to go first though :P Cube Hit: Open-ended cards. Serra Paragon Ledger Shredder Displacer Kitten Third Path Iconoclast Why...

No, not customs, but the keyword! This is a 360 card cube, where I basically explore an enchantment theme. I've never done that before and this is my take on it. I want the cube to be low curving, aggressive and with no shuffling. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/modified This is still very...

I currently don't include free spells in my cube and was hoping to hear your thoughts on them. For this post, what I mean by free spell is an interactive instant or flash card that can be cast for 0 mana. I'm thinking of these: Free counter spells Force of Will Force of Negation Pact of...

I play multiplayer games with my group, but I've been meaning to build a 1vs1 cube too. It's mostly a thought experiment at this point, but I could definitely see myself acquiring the cards IRL. Here is the list I am working on right now: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/kmu7 Inspiration Erik...

With the new releases, I've been thinking about Vampires for a medium powered cube as the basis of Red an Black aggressive decks. It's not always easy to incorporate your aggressive decks into the format's other themes, but I think Vampires is starting to get there. They have a bunch of...

Not sure where to post this, if someone has better ideas, I can copy/paste and delete this topic. I wanted to share a deck/strategy that I have been working on: Boros spells aggro. Granted, this doesn't sound particularly groundbreaking, but let me elaborate. Context: Due to the nature of my...

I had an old thread with an out of date cube and out of date goals so I figured I would just post a new one and try to keep the thread updated better as this helps map out my thoughts. Cube list Background: I (used to) cube with 3-4 players on a semi-regular basis. We play free-for-all...

There have been a lot of good lands coming out these past sets and I haven't really revisited my lands in a while. I am currently using: Fetch, Dual, Shock, Manland/Horizon land + 5 Prismatic Vista (10.7% of the cube). This has been playing well, but it's not super exciting and I would...

First attempt at cube list is here! I exclusively play multiplayer FFA games of 3-4 players. Lately, I'm getting bored of silly overpowered finishers that take no effort to win the game (for example a player won with a Sepulchral Primordial that reanimated a Restoration Angel). My players seem...
