I'm always using CardConjurer if I'm designing a one-off card. I don't think they have Omen frames yet, but the Adventure frame looks fine to me. I kind of wish Omen frames had a little bit of reptilian flair to them, so they'd stand out a bit better.

I like to to imagine red cards that let you retrieve things from exile. I'd really love to have a way to recover the cards that I "impulse draw" but can't play right away. It's a recurring theme in my custom designs, and I also really, REALLY want Junk tokens in mainline Magic.

Last year, I participated in this contest with my Maelstrom Mania cube, featuring 30 copies of Invasion of Alara. It was my belief that most contestants would choose sensible, low-curve cards with an eye toward elegance in gameplay, and I decided to do the opposite, largely as a joke (but also...

Obsidian Charmaw Edit: I should have been more detailed in my response, but I suddenly had to leave my computer wanted to shout "Obsidian Charmaw" before vanishing. I love this cube! What a cool idea. This one and Pulp Nouveau have really got me worked up to build a flavor-forward cube of my own.

This set absolutely rules, and I think I'm especially drawn to it because it's a straight up zero-irony magical-fantasy collection of cards, and a real return to form for Magic worldbuilding. We're here to explore the land of Tarkir, interact with its peoples and cultures, and learn new magic...

Lotuslight Dancers Mardu Siegebreaker These two cards are going to make me find space for some 3-color cards in my Welder cube. Just totally sweet effects. Also: Phantom Steed Is this effect just completely outside the confines of the color pie? I feel like I'd believe this on almost any...

I like so many cards from this set that I'm debating just using about 50 cards from Dragonstorm as a base for a whole new cube. But I'm not ready to commit to that idea yet. Really trying to figure out if I can run Omens and Adventures in the same cube. Is it possible to do it as long as there...

Sometimes the art is so good, you have to add a whole new archetype to the cube.

Abzan Monument Jeskai Monument Mardu Monument Sultai Monument Temur Monument This cycle is going to replace the Savai Crystal and friends cycle in my cube for sure. They're a lot wordier, but I like their mana cost, the way they support Domain, and their cool, on-flavor token generation. Plus...

AWESOME. I just finished adding a dedicated WUBRG module to my cube, and this is an extremely cool upgrade for Courier's Briefcase that makes the whole deck work better. It also has the advantage of being a sweet bejeweled dragon skull instead of a lame briefcase.

I was just about to post this thing! Talk about a great tool for Aristocrats. Hope your Blood Artist is hungry! In my cube, this also plays well with the "Mana Value 3 or less" reanimator cards, which share colors with all my aristocrats cards. These honest, hardworking oxen are likely to...

Dude you KNOW there's going to be a Dragon with a Flurry ability in here.

I suppose it could be a problem if a player went really deep on shuffle effects, but it seems like something people are doing pretty often anyway. My Peasant cube runs the MH3 landscapes, a cycle of basic landcycling spells, and a cycle of typed landcycling spells already. Plus Terramorphic...

A flawless card for my multicolor Peasant cube. Hopefully there'll be a sufficient density of Omens for me to include, because I already run a lot of Adventures, and I think I'll need at least 3 or 4 Omens to make the distinction clear. I can see these getting misplayed a lot if they're run...

Treva, the Renewer Dromar, the Banisher Crosis, the Purger Darigaaz, the Igniter Rith, the Awakener If we want a direct throughline from Invasion to Tarkir, let's talk about these absolutely AWESOME 3-color legendary dragons.

Rally the Monastery A genuinely perfect card for my Peasant cube. Anyone playing tokens, prowess/spellslinger, heroic, or the color white will want this. Tastes great with Valorous Stance. Will probably replace Timeless Reinforcements.

Rhoxoclops, Horny Tactician Legendary Creature - Rhino Soldier Double Trample When Rhoxoclops enters the battlefield, you gain 3 life and target opponent loses 3 life. {T}, Pay 3 life: Target creature becomes a Rhino Siege with Power and Toughness 3/4 and Defense 3 in addition to its other...

I like the new art for Jeskai a lot. They're my favorite clan but I thought a lot of their cards looked a little too samey in the original. I've got to say the new Abzan look is a major downgrade in my opinion. I could accept the purple metallic armor with gold trim on Neon Kamigawa or...

Hoping for an edible reprint of Siege Rhino
