    Aston's Cube

    CubeCon Rerpot - Part 2 Saturday started with me messaging Jamie and Jon to see if they wanted to walk over to the convention centre together, but with no reply at half an hour to the start of the first draft I headed over solo. About 10 minutes before, I got a message to say they’d just woken...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I used to run an X spells matter package with Rosheen and Unbound Flourishing as enablers and a bunch of X spells in red and green including Genesis Wave, Genesis Hydra, Voracious Hydra, Comet Storm, and Cut//Ribbons as payoffs. It ended up being kind of a joke, as it very rarely worked but a...

    Sets [FDN] Foundations (a new Core Set)

    I feel like the flavour text would have been way better if they left it at something like "Did you mean lemures?" and the same art. I don't really mind self-referential stuff like this in Magic but yeah this one was a miss for me.

    CubeCon 2024 Report - Part 1 Yes, I know it's been four and a half years since I posted in my thread, but I'm resurrecting it from page 7 to tell you all about my CubeCon 2024 experience. After reading all the reports from CubeCon last year and obsessively watching all the coverage, I knew I...

    General Alchemy, Playtest, Funny and other strange cards

    I've run it before in my fairly high power cube and it wasn't great, it just isn't worth spending 4 mana on this most of the time. It did lead to a very funny game where one player played Split Screen and the other Phyrexian Metamorphed it so they both had split libraries. I guess since I do...

    Sets [MB2] Mystery Booster 2 previews

    Having one "silly card" per pack feels like the right amount. Unfinity (and Unstable to an extent) both felt like they were fighting between being funny and being playable sets, and ended up not really being either; with the playtest cards being such a small part of mystery boosters, it doesn't...

    General Fight Club

    Looter il-Kor Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel Shoreline Looter Suspicious Stowaway A few different takes on the same idea. I played Looter il-Kor for ages, swapped over to Malcolm recently but I think I might swap again to Shoreline Looter as it feels the cleanest. Any thoughts?

    Sets [ACR] Universes Beyond™: Assassin's Creed™ Previews

    I've only played some of the first one too, and apparently the series went in some unexpected directions. Do you end up assassinating gods in the viking one??

    General Universes Restored

    Is there a good one to use? When I've tried it with Imgur the art doesn't show up for me for whatever reason.

    Yeah I like these a lot, Tamiyo would be my favourite as well.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I didn't like this either, as well as the fact that Akroma doesn't actually care about other creatures with flying in play. It would need a bigger redesign than maybe you'd like, but having these all look for a particular keyword and then be keyword lords (or some other factor, like Kamahl asks...

    Sets (OTJ) Outlaws of Thunder Junction Previews

    I was already pretty over the cultural references with the serial numbers filed off when we hit Eldraine and it put together not-Stonehenge, not-Robin Hood, and not-Loch Ness Monster, even though in the real world those things occurred thousands of years apart. Now we're getting versions of...
