    the Stickered Cube

    the Stickered Cube 200 cards | 2 or 4 players I really love the stickers that Unfinity introduces, but am not a fan of the ticket-system accompanying them. I've been brainstorming a way to use these stickers in cube without their current rules baggage, instead allowing stickers to bring...

    General A Sticker Cube

    Yeah, generally I like the mana value to be greater than the toughness, or have the creature have some downside. Lupine Prototype is probably most extreme. Stickers are... somewhat reusable. I have 40 different stickers sheets and need 20 sheets per draft. Today was the first time we had to...

    Yes and no. You can use P/T stickers as well, but for ticket value we look at the toughness of the creature, not its power, so you wouldn't be able to put it on the Sergeant.

    General A Sticker Cube

    I've started doing this! Although for now just with the people new to the cube, whether they win or lose, to get the really hooked :) Stickering the cards before the draft was much better. It more than doubled the deckbuilding time, but made the gameplay itself so much smoother. I'll be...

    Sets (OTJ/BIG/OTC/OTP) Outlaws of Thunder Junction & The Big Score Mega Testing and Includes Thread!

    I really like the mechanics for this set and it seems like a lot of fun to draft! But for my own cube, I don't think I'll add anything. The following cards are the biggest maybes, in order of likelihood (likely to unlikely): Razzle-Dazzler Tomb Trawler Jem Lightfoote, Sky Explorer Geyser Drake...

    General A Sticker Cube

    Yeah, we were playing with two and too excited not to sticker myself. I would certainly do only the winner if I'd ever draft it with 8, and maybe in the future with two as some kind of price :) No, but I did play inscryption which does awesome thing with permanently altering cards as a...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    You're forgetting that if I play a deck with mainly 1c (or c) cards, I often want to pay 2cc on turn 4 to double-spell. I think a good mana base intends to make double spelling possible as well as make individual cards be castable. If you add these 1c spells to the mix, the probability to draw...

    General A Sticker Cube

    I've played a Proof of Concept yesterday, and it worked as well as I could hope! It wasn't as smooth as I'd hoped, so I have a few takeaways: - Let the stickering happen during deck construction, it disrupts the flow too much when doing it during play (this also prevents confusion around tokens)...

    General A Sticker Cube

    Tickets are too cheap when directly converted to mana value. The aforementioned 2mv 4/2 is an example of this (but a 3mv 6/3 is another example). At that point, the creatures need downside mechanics anyway. By tying ticket value to toughness, I get to have 2mv creatures with downside mechanics...

    I'm dragging this cube idea from its grave because I actually ordered some cards now! I also tweaked the concept some: Cool Fluffy Loxodon Narrow-Minded Baloney Fireworks Sticky Kavu Daredevil Grid-draft the entire 180 card cube. Any sticker cards you draft this way are available during any...

    Sets (MH3) Modern Horizons 3 Previews

    Yes I was assuming you'd have to break singleton, didn't make that clear. I'm curious how they'll fix it in MH3. They'll probably a assure colorless land in every pack, like they did with snow lands/mana, hopefully with basic land types for the reasons you mention!

    Sets (MH3) Modern Horizons 3 Previews

    I think colorless mana is easier to support than most strategies because it can be supported through (fixing) lands. If you don't run shocks and fetches, painlands are close to the next-best thing. With enough colorless mana support they kinda tap for 3 colors. A similar thing can be said for...

    have you tried Captain Ripley Vance too by any chance? I've been eyeing her for my own cube since I've enjoyed the "cast 2 spells per turn" payoffs and was wondering if "cast 3 spells per turn" would be viable in a low-mana environment. Captain Ripley Vance

    Sets (MKM) Murders at Karlov Manor Previews

    I believe the difference is "instant or sorcery spell" vs "instant or sorcery card". It's the reason Kess, Dissident Mage works with adventures as well, and I think for that reason Primieval Titan wouldn't work.

    If only one player snitches they take no damage while all others taken +4 damage. It's a wall of text but I believe it adheres to the Prisoner's dilemma?
