Kaidan After years of working on largely high powered cube lists, I have decided to take a page out of Grillo’s book and attempt a truly low powered cube. This is a pretty daunting task if you approach it without an anchor of some sort. Thankfully, I’ve spent a lot of time recently looking...

Along the lines of an idea someone posted about a "pandora pack" (busted pack that you'd add to a draft triggered by Lore Seeker). What about a wish package? So you add some number of the wish cards but limit what they could get to your side board or a selection of potentially stupid cards...

So wanted to toss out an idea I don't think I've seen anywhere. Might be a bad idea but seems sort of interesting. OK, so how many dual land cycles are there now? like 10? More than we can fit in cube anyway. That's all I know. This is especially problematic for smaller cubes. My 360...

Interesting article I'm just going to post a link to: http://mtgcube.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-two-kinds-of-cube.html For those who want the reader's digest version, it boils down to design philosophy: 1. Midrange cube has power restrictions and all (most) cards are meant to be playable in...

Dovetailing off the recent thread I made in the forum, I wanted to post the list I've been tinkering with and the design parameters I established. All this is subject to change of course. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/60453 My Primary motivation for exploring this idea is a general...

Meltyman posted an old bordered list in another thread and started a blog. Got me to thinking about how cube has changed over the years. That and how the idea of "retro" has probably also evolved (like Bon Jovi is somehow now considered "classic rock" according to more than one local radio...

So has anyone worked in a spirit theme yet? Seems like we have some new tools. Maybe Tallowisp is playable (especially if you are already supporting enchantress)? Feels like a solid fit for me at least since enchantress and heroic have good overlap already. Incentive cards Tallowisp...

I'm considering revisiting the 5 planeshift familiars as a way to provide some creature based ramp. For reference, here are the cards I'm referring to: Nightscape Familiar Sunscape Familiar Stormscape Familiar Thornscape Familiar Thunderscape Familiar I ran nightscape for a short...

So I think someone posted this idea already but I couldn't find the thread. To whoever that was, I apologize. Here's the gist. Add Lore Seeker to the cube. The booster this adds would be a pack full of power cards (busted stuff you wouldn't normally run). Obviously, this isn't something...

Introduction Some time last year Jason posted a really interesting write up about modularizing cube. Here's a link to the original article: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/channelfireball-polycubing-and-swordfighting.618/#post-26619 This idea stuck with me because it offered an...

I derailed a recent thread on color matters / devotion with some discussion about challenging conventions in Magic. It's an interesting topic to me and I wanted to start a new thread to keep it going. The discussion centered originally around the origins of the "4-of" rule specifically with...

Hello all. I finally got my cube uploaded to CubeTutor. It includes a large number of changes (probably 20-30 cards) and is untested in it's current state (and will likely remain so for several months). Here it is: http://cubetutor.com/cubeblog/11190 I added my unique design parameters in...

So one thing I'm constantly running into (especially with a smaller cube size) are space problems. I see a cool card I'd like to test (something fringe) and I then go check to see if I have room, and low and behold I have 11 "Staples" at that CC. No room. Sigh. I know that there really is...

So, this is something that I started thinking about after deciding I was going to break singleton. When you look at most cubes, I think you find that more aggressive colors have lower curves. Red for example, usually runs more 1 and 2 drops than any other color (and so it has a lower overall...

So, I have been working on a major overhaul of my cube for months now. And I'm ready to break singleton. I've always supported the idea conceptually, I just haven't considered putting it into practice until now. I'm ready. Let's do this. I'd appreciate some feedback on this though because...

Jitte too slow? How is that even possible. That card is ridiculous. I know my cube is slower than most, but Jitte is actually on the verge of getting cut for being GRBS. It's broken to pieces.
