This should be the major soundbite for advertising Cube Design. Not all this "Play the best cards in Magic!" garbage I see everywhere else. I fully acknowledge that my drain-life suggestion doesn't fit the "flag" of 90% of the cubes here. But since there are so few cards that reward lifegain...

One way to make lifegain feel more like a theme as opposed to just jamming in Ajani's Pridemates is to focus on draining life. Lifelink, Extort, and any manner of black drain life spells could work (although maybe less so if they're competing with the likes of Deathrite Shaman). I haven't been...

Great point, although I think it applies more to balancing strengths of strategies than it does to how "fun" they are. That said, a poorly tuned environment isn't great for casual players either. Just one of the many reasons why WOTC tests Standard so much when probably >90% of their audience...

"Better"? For Spike? For everyone? I'm honestly asking, since my cube certainly falls into the "criminally untested" camp. But my target audience also doesn't follow the game or buy new cards anymore, and might be overwhelmed by the intensity of something like your primary cube. Either way, it...

The article feels a bit disjointed. You talk a lot about power level in Cube, but your solutions to increase decision density have nothing to do with power. Decisions increase with competing costs and the options available (of which removal and do-something-lands are a subset). I could make a...

At first I thought your clerics idea was awesome since I have fond memories of stalling with them around when I started playing Magic. I even found a fair number that overlap abilities that maybe I'll post when not on my phone (esper, tokens, sacrifice, cycling, etc.). Unfortunately, any build...

"Newb" is a bit of a misnomer: my audience are friends that don't buy/play Magic cards anymore, and I made this cube so we could enjoy drafting 1-2x/year without spending money. As such, I'm trying to make it reasonably straightforward to draft so they're not lost, and keep the number of...
