    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    The demon and angel demonstrate some of the common problems with AI art. At first glance they look pretty cool, but closer inspection reveals a plethora of problems. The demon’s wings seem oddly small; one hand has four digits, the other has six. The angel has only one leg, a strange shaped...

    General Basic land storage and presentation

    I notice the lands are out of WUBRG order. Are the Swamps selfishly hiding behind the Islands for their own safety?

    The memory issue is easily solved; many board games use a first player marker. If I ran enough of these I think it would be worthwhile.

    Energy can at least interact with things like Proliferate and Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider. Slivers just interact with other slivers.

    You could try listening on 1.5x or even 2x speed and have MaRo sound even more manic than usual, but I will indulge you. Both episodes are taking a "mind map" type approach to designing a draft environment. LPR suggest designing a cube by picking a card you want to play (in this case Trade...

    Thanks for all those suggestions. Quite a lot of those are already in my cube, so I’ll give it a go as a payoff/alternate win con for Sultai graveyard.

    It's a shame that Wastes isn't a land type. "Land - Plains Wastes" would be very elegant.

    I listen to too many Magic podcasts, but was struck by the similarities between a recent episode of Lucky Paper Radio about emergent cube design and the most recent Mark Rosewater episode about designing synergies into retail sets. Both adopted a branching approach, that would then seek to...

    Thassa's Oracle This was discussed on this thread a few years ago (see below), but I wondered if anyone is having success with Thassa's Oracle as an alternative win condition in their cube currently? I'd want to play it "fairly" with cards that are otherwise useful, rather than as a narrow...

    I get where you're coming from for most of these, but Cathedral Acolyte seems as if it could be generic Magic. Clothing, name, types, glowing stuff could be all sorts of places. Aren't there cathedrals on Ravnica and Innistrad?

    Fair point. I was thinking about synergy with my own deck but antisynergy with my opponent’s deck could be just as effective.

    General Fight Club

    Avatar feels more white than blue. Anthems and +1/+1 counters are ways to break the symmetry of its effect, and those are often more prevalent in white than blue. If you’re okay with that it is a cool card ( with massive blowout potential if your opponent has removal).

    General Cube Box Thread

    This is what I use for my Jumpstart cube, with Dragon Shield Cube Shells for each pack. The main cube is in a Quiver case, which I recommend. It does limit my cube to 450-500 cards single sleeved if I want space for tokens, dice and basic lands, but that is my preferred cube size anyway.

    No problem. I just realised that I linked to Google main page rather than the search results, which may have come across as a bit patronising, so sorry about that.

    UK & Ireland MTG Cards for Trade & Sale MTG CE/ICE Collectors (I sold my full set of International Collectors Edition last year). This group may be more your style. Or this one for serialised cards. I found those using Google. I can't vouch for the links provided, but the other ones were...

    I’ve used Facebook groups for selling high value cards over the last year with some success. Serialised cards appear there from time to time. I’ve used a UK based group to avoid international shipping, but other groups are available.

    This is intriguing. Please can you share where can I read/hear this report? Thanks.

    General [Contest] Ravnica Reimagined (Entry Closed - Judging in Progress)

    Thrive would probably not be printable in an actual set: if it didn't break standard it would probably break an eternal format. In cube it seems like an excellent way to explicitly support token decks, with the occasional opportunity to do something absurd.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Boros Charm is great for protecting your creatures from Wraths when you have overcommitted to the battlefield. Firemane Avenger is a lower powered card that clearly signals a go-wide aggressive strategy. Lorehold Command is a bit over-costed but can add to the board and pump your team. Not as...

    I like Cryptid as a creature type. The idea that the multiverse, with a plethora of bizarre creatures that may live in your neighbourhood, might also have yet stranger creatures whose existence is unsubstantiated, is very evocative. Old One Eye becoming a creature wit lots of eyes is funny...
