I write short stories (and occasionally attempt to write novels), and I paint wargaming minis (and occasionally even play wargames). I used to play a lot of videogames, but I satisfied my dopamine receptors in the early 2010's with Monster Hunter 3U and Fire Emblem Awakening.

Every so often one of you sickos designs a card I want so badly for my cube that I utter an audible groan. My coworkers must think I'm browsing some really questionable material in here.

I'm using it to replace Carnage Altar. The main thing I like about it is paying 3 mana for the first card rather than 5. The sorcery speed activation doesn't bother me. In my cube it would be fun to go Cult Conscript > Blood Artist > Ravenous Amulet, and then start the Aristocrats value train. I...

In Praise of a Couple Individual Cards Which I Personally Might Cube With At Some Point Foundations features two cards that are clear iterations of popular cube cards that came out earlier this year, and I like them: Drake Hatcher & Scythecat Cub At first glance, these cards look like...

There's a lot of nice stuff here for Multivalent, my Peasant cube. Divine Resilience - Unbounded Potential This is a very cool card for an environment with a lot of Heroic and Heroic-adjacent abilities. Unbounded Potential got added to the cube over a year ago, when I was trying to set up a...

January is perfect. I get so bored and stir-crazy in January and February.

This set is really going to allow me to shave some complexity points off of my Welder cube, which is always welcome. Not sure if we'll have a testing thread for Foundations, but my early standouts are: Spinner of Souls, Dragon Trainer, and Abyssal Harvester

Finally we can get Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug in black border.

Yes, but I like the name "Goblin Surprise" more. The dungeon master narration names like You Happen on a Glade are fun and cool in a D&D set, but in my cube I would prefer a more "magic card" sounding name. Plus, I'd prefer to shed the italicized ability names for each of the card's modes.

The vibes are immaculate. Dawnwing Marshal is a strong contender just for the art! I'll also be happy to replace You See a Pair of Goblins with Goblin Surprise. I'll definitely be finding room for Cephalid Ink Mage (or whatever it ends up being called).

This thing is very exciting for Welder's Workshop. Likely to replace Clay Champion, which is a very cool card but doesn't have much support in the environment.

Haha, I'm hyperfocused on one of my other hobbies right now. But the siren song of these enchanting rectangles will soon lure me back...

Can you explain how you got your Cube Cobra list to look like that? With the different columns for each pack?

OMG You have just determined the entire course of my weekend with this thread.

This set had some nice hits for Multivalent, my peasant cube. Possessed Goat <- Chaplain of Alms I really like a 1-drop that can set up reanimation tricks, delirium, and other graveyard shenanigans. This creature also transforms without needing to be double-faced, and the art/flavor is great...

The "haunted house" stuff rules. But the "survivors" make absolutely no sense in terms of art or flavor. Visually they look like slush art from Unfinity. But the story also makes no sense. One of the survivors is a cheerleader who apparently learned her moves in cheer practice. Cheer practice...

I kind of wish the "Fear Of" creatures had a different naming convention, like "Somethinga-phobia". But on the other hand, the name, creature type, card type, and art on these cards tell cool stories in a unique Magic card way. Hoping for the proxy community to create a bunch of cards that look...

I'm here for Meathook Massacre II. Fascinated by the implication that events from elsewhere in the multiverse may have echoes as VHS tapes on Duskmourn. I may have found a way to reconcile my particular neurodivergence with Universes Beyond. Like, if there's a haunted Blockbuster somewhere in...
