    The Trading Post

    It's been a minute, but I'm excited to jump back into Riptide waters. I'll create a more formal write-up as I get more time, but wanted to get this thread made. (Hopefully no one else here is using this name for their cube.) I'm going for a retail limited power level environment based on...

    No list at the moment, but I want to get my initial thinking in writing to use as a reference and get feedback. My overarching goal is to build something that can work as a teaching tool for limited play while hopefully still be interesting enough to provide satisfying games to me and other...

Strong flavor and resonance is what allows Akroan Horse to move from being...

    Card/Deck The Gauntlet - Limited/Constructed Duel Decks

    (Disclaimer: I realize this project isn't completely on-topic in terms of cube building, but I think there's enough of a shared interest to make this a kosher thread. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to move it.) While I love cube, I'm always looking for other ways to have fun with casual Magic. In...

    As a side project, I want to build a small accessible cube for new and casual players. I have a lot of friends who are into board games, but aren't invested into Magic as a hobby.

    General Supporting aggro without 1-drops [Peasant]

    While pushing through grad school, I've had almost no time to actually play Magic in the last year or so. Instead, I get to sneak in an hour here or there theory-crafting about my peasant cube as well as lurking here at Riptide. One of my few chances to actually play Magic this year came this...
