    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    I recently stumbled upon two cards that work under the "doesn't get killed by Wildfire" clause and that happen to be good on their own. Archangel of Tithes Ojutai Exemplars The exemplars survive all of your boardwipes and turns all burn spells into way more interesting combat tricks. The...

    Card/Deck The Boros Legion (RW)

    A few days ago at the mtgcube reddit someone shared their approach to boros and it seemed interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgcube/comments/heyxbx/comment/fvug42y Basically it's a bunch of cards that survive Wildfire, Storm's Wrath, Earthquake and the like; Silver Knight Knight of the...

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    The simplest way to fix the 8th card problem is having to replace a card drawn with the companion. "If you would draw a card you may put a companion from outside the game in your hand instead" or something along those lines.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Some top of library tutoring works nice with miracles; Mystical Tutor, Vampiric Tutor and Scheming Symmetry. Also one of my favorite cards; Ancestral Knowledge.

    General Companions, Yay or nay?

    Agree. Lurrus plays pretty fairly, and it's quite a feat to draft a deck around its companion restriction (maybe it'll be easier on my cube than in Ikoria limited, but even then, it's something you can only do if you got very lucky or if it was your p1p1). Lutri is way more busted at it has no...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    In multiplayer environments mystic remora is way better than ancestral recall, in 1vs1 it will usually draw you 2 to 3 cards for 2 mana spread over two turns. BUT it is a miserable topdeck in the late game.

    General CBS

    Targeted discard is the lamest topdeck. For me that's reason enough not to include it.

    General Green four drop creatures

    Wicked Wolf Don't get distracted by the food flavour text, it's a green Nekrataal (that can hit more creatures than Nekrataal in my cube).

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    We've been running balance since our first list update and it's been awesome. It's a busted card if you run too much artifact mana; we run zero Moxen, Talismans and Signets, only colorless stuff like Mindstone, and the rest of the ramp options are Mana Myrs or limited to green. It's also busted...

    Estoril Cube

    Wishlist: In order to better plan our acquisitions, and having actual tools to test drafts, we made a wishlist on Cube Cobra that contains our current understanding of the "ideal cube" within our preferencrs and the constrains we set up. This has helped tremendously to decide what to cut...

    General Current opinion on duplicates and other Riptidian/Waddellisms?

    In my field of work you can see how easy it is to convince someone when you say "We ran 1 bajillion simulations and it matches the field data we collected" versus "It's a normal distribution and it matches the field data we collected".

    General Fight Club

    I would run the creature if I ran Narural Order and other creature card cheating, selection or tutoring. It may come up once a year with a board full of tokens but it would be a fantastic story Natural Order

    General Good cards you don't run because they are ugly

    The only thing I try to avoid as much as possible is white bordered cards, but that is something I'll just have to deal with once I get a set of duals (I don't see myself getting alpha/beta ones due to the cost). But I'm seriously considering a beta Dark Ritual, Bolt and Llanowar Elves.

    Estoril Cube

    Archetypes: I've been thinking a lot about the archetype support, specifically about how designing around two colour pairs may lead to the feeling of having 10 different decks that are shuffled together and must be unshuffled before being able to sit down and play. Within this forum's...
