I'm a bit bored, so I thought I'd go over the different types of artifact tokens (Blood, Clues, Food, Powerstones, and Treasure... actually, let's throw on Incubator//Phyrexian tokens too, though they're a bit borderline) and how useful I think they are for cubes. Powerstones ({U}{R}{c}, maybe...

Hey everyone! I have noticed a pretty annoying little glitch with the WYSIWYG editor. If you start a line in bold or italics, then hitting the bold/italics button or shortcut again doesn't work properly. For example, this is what happens if I type the following into the editor...

OK, so a while back I had this idea for a gate focused format, which boils down to "start with Basilisk Gate + Heap Gate on the battlefield and one of the OG gates in your hand". And that was fine and all for a brainstorm, but it felt WAY too gold for my tastes — due to how flexible your mana...

I'm curious. What are your favorite cards, flavortext-wise? They don't have to be good cards, they just have to have sweet flavor. This is honestly probably my favorite: Hold The Line

I've been mulling over this post for a little while now, and... is Alesha really a Mardu card, or is it just simultaneously a Boros card and a Rakdos card? Do drafters look at Alesha and feel the need to go Mardu if they're already in one of those colors? Like, realistically speaking... Cram...

Word of warning: this is me talking out of my ass... so take everything here with a grain of salt. Storm (or, at least, a deck that looks like Storm) is traditionally a REALLY hard archetype to support in Cube. And it's not hard to see why — it's effectively a "cantrip and rituals" tribal deck...

Hey everyone. It pains me to do this, but I'm going to be leaving these forums for a bit. Long story short, I've been fixating on Magic to an unhealthy degree lately, and it's making me pretty miserable. As a result, I think it's for the best if I step away for the forums, if only for a month...

My Picks:

Recently, I got hit by the idea of making a four-color half-cube. Nothing too out of the ordinary, right? Here's what I'll be using for the basic land box: Underground Sea Volcanic Island Tropical Island Tundra Removing cost from consideration has... interesting... consequences. Fish Have...

Something I've noticed while fiddling with my cube(s) is that there's a very real tension between what I want out of a match as a player, and what I want out of the environment as a designer. To give just one example of this, I love creatures with good ETBs as a player. As a designer, however...

This archetype showed up in Amonkhet, and I've always kinda been fond of it. Ways to get -1/-1 counters onto your creatures: Gore Vassal Baleful Ammit Lethal Sting Plague Belcher Devoted Druid Ornery Kudu Crocodile of the Crossing Scarscale Ritual Kitchen Finks Noxious Hatchling Cauldron Haze...

Afternoon Delight is an untested 360 card, relatively low-powered cube where all of the non-land cards have CMCs of 2, 3, or 7. There is one additional house-rule: all Instants and Sorceries are Arcane (or anything that refers to Arcane instead refers to Instants and Sorceries). This is because...

So, given that we're getting more Sagas in Kaldheim... does anyone run any Sagas in their cubes? Any pointers on supporting them if you do?

It's pretty much a given that tribal strategies are pretty parasitic, and kinda suck in Cubes unless you really warp your environment around them. But that got me thinking about cards that let you do nifty tribal stuff without demanding that you go all-in. To that effect, I searched Scryfall...

I know that this little guy got some discussion when Conspiracy originally came out: Cogwork Librarian Do any of the other drafting cards look like they'd be any fun to toss into the rotation? Some that kinda call out to me are: Caller of the UntamedCanal DredgerDeal BrokerGarbage FireLore...

I think that the mindgames aspect of Morph is greatly overstated. The design space for Morph (and related mechanics, like Manifest or Megamorph) is actually wider than you might think. Sure, you have Morphs designed to play mindgames: Broodhatch NantukoKarona's ZealotScornful EgotistSkirk...
