    Sharzad v4 - The Passion of Tarkir

    View the Cube list Playtest (draft) against bots I began this project on a mechanical level, with the intent to bridge the gap between "blue's historical dominance over the game engine" and the 'legacy-lite' gameplay I want. Blue's broken old spells have been able to 'pitch to force' broken new...

    General [Design Contest] New Lessons to Learn

    learn//lesson. A very deep pair of mechanics with a shallow cardpool (20 lessons). There are 5 rare Lessons, 1 Mythic, 5 mono-coloured uncommon Lessons, 5 common Lessons that make each school's token, and another 4 colourless Lessons at common. So of the 20 printed Lessons the mechanic was...

    General [SCD] Imotekh the Stormlord

    I think Imotekh has a LOT going for him and i think this is (alongside Sheoldred) one of the coolest most satisfying black 4's we've gotten in a looooooong time. I'd like to throw my prediction in the jar that, once the dust settles from this Warhammer 40k / Universes Beyond / etc stuff, Imotekh...

    General Phoenix Tribal

    ONE (NOTHING WRONG WITH ME) Long time no see, RipLab! I've made maybe a dozen-ish posts since mid-2020, but I'm finally revising my Cube now that I'm letting other people enter my home again. I'm doing well! To get past the small talk and into this topic, here's what I've been up to lately...

    General Front Page Article - card kingdom's starter cube

    Hey! Card Kingdom put out a 'starter cube' - presleeved, reasonably budget while still powerful, comes with basics. A perfect starter cube product IMO! The fact that they've done this is really cool and will probably introduce a number of people to cube design who'd previously considered it to...

    Card/Deck Your favourite Gray Ogre / Wind Drake?

    Seems like a fun discussion topic. Definition of terms: gray ogre = 3 mana 2/2, ideally with upside wind drake = 3 mana 2/2 flier, ideally with upside Here are mine: Monastery Mentor Mulldrifter It's probably pushing the definition a little to count Mentor as a Gray Ogre, but good gracious is...

    General [CONTEST] Exploration Cube

    The central conceit of this cube is to take the Penny Pincher cube's bounceland-fueled storm engine, splicer midrange package, and land-based combo theme and raise the power level. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/63360 http://www.cubetutor.com/draft/63360

    Card/Deck re: o: {T}: creatures that tap (themeless theme)

    The biggest contributor to this theme, and the biggest reason I'm looking for more creatures that fit it, is Jeskai Ascendancy. The ability to fire off a Grim Lavamancer more than once a turn (or, god forbid, mother of runes) is just great. Love it to bits. Bleeding the theme into RUG, we have...

    General please critique my (first?) Doomsday article

    I: Solving for Storm Storm is problematic in Cube for X major reasons and a billion minor ones. Briefly: -Storm is uninteractive. Few decks at the Cube table have the density of stack-based interaction, proactive discard, or permanent-based hate to stop the Storm deck once it finally gets...
