today's gab is about RAMP! Ramp is a fun archetype that tends to appeal the most to Timmy-type players. It's a gameplan that accelerates your mana resources to a higher point than your opponent, then leverages the extra mana into powerful effects that go "over the top" of whatever your opponent...

https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/63d8fa567e57e60f792e542a?view=table&scale=medium I made a shitpost elsewhere on the forums about a cube where "Legacy Delver" was the only archetype, but the more I thought about it, the more fun that cube sounded! So i've started a rough skeleton list. The basic...

https://articles.starcitygames.com/magic-the-gathering/select/elvish-visionary-vs-elderfang-disciple-the-nature-of-card-advantage/ wanted to share this old but good sam black article for discussion. was very relevant to NEO draft and also has a lot of lessons for cube architects!

I end up listening to a lot of podcasts while i drive / work / do dishes, what does everyone else listen to?

https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/taishosecret This is another Arena cube, using MOSTLY commons/uncommons. It’s based HEAVILY on Kamigawa Neon Dynasty, but i’ve changed the archetypes slightly to (hopefully) let more color combinations be more fun: WU- Artifacts, Tokens, Vehicles UB- Ninjas...

Hey folks, I am sure i’m not the only one contemplating a NEO set cube after the full spoiler release today, so i wanted to post this here to help people get/share ideas for building a cube around the home-run set that is NEO. full spoiler can be found here and (soon) here...

LEAGUE RULES (these are subject to change as we try them out and see what works and is fun) CUBES UP FOR DRAFTING we will draft a different cube each week on a loose rotation. if you curate an Arena cube, send me a link to have it added to the roster!

https://scryfall.com/search?q=very+cryptic+command&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name Anyone tested these? Which ones would you run?

Testing and includes! Overall this felt like a “fine” set to me. A few cool things for both my cubes but nothing “earth shattering” EXCEPT COBBLED LANCER which my jaw is still on the floor about! Sets like this are nice because there’s not a lot of FOMO stress on the crazy expensive mythics but...

https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/arenaartisan Hey everyone, this is a(nother) 270 card cube that can be drafted asynchronously on CubeCobra and the decks imported to MTG Arena to play with friends! Use 6 seats for the drafts and snow covered basics during final deck building. Note that J21...

Hey gang, wanted to get a quick read on this from everyone: How are custom cards, as part of a cube, perceived in your local MTG scene? Are people generally accepting of them these days? Or is there resistance to “fake cards?” This could be within your playgroup, extended to the LGS as a whole...

See poll. This came up in this week’s draft league- what “alternate” win conditions, such as burn and mill, are not fun to face in an otherwise “fair” environment? (fair here meaning “you win by attacking with enough creatures to reduce your opponents life total to zero”) interested to hear...

Just a fun thread for everyone to show off what their guild pairs do, IN ONE LINE OF TEXT OR LESS feel free to include your tri/quad/five color archetypes too, using the same rule above! i’ll start: WU- flashy flash control! Moderation UB- grindy artifact control! BStrix BR- bin it to win it...

Hi gang, I am very curious what kind of targeted discard everyone runs and their reasoning behind it. Currently i’m running a high power fair environment, but i’ve chosen to completely eschew targeted discard and instead pull blacks color identity harder towards creature removal, magecraft, and...

With AFR joining the cube domain, i think this is an archetype we can finally look at developing. There are many cards in these colors now that provide treasure tokens as a rider on a core effect, and a few cards that reward us for having treasures, or, more broadly- lots of mana that we only...

Or, “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Five-Color Goodstuff Piles.” In a game of Magic, there are many ways to lose the game. You can of course scoop. You can get beat down by a more proactive deck. You can get out-attritioned by a more reactive deck. You can fail to disrupt/beat down...

If you could (and you can!) replace each of your basic lands with utility lands, what would your BLB contain? Example: I am strongly considering running a BLB of custom cycling lands a la the following: What about you? Go crazy!

https://cubecobra.com/cube/playtest/re:desert Several years ago, an enlightened Balduvian Trading Poster released a cube with a simple premise. What if there were no basic land box? They called it “The Desert Cube,” and it captured the imagination of many a cube architect, myself included. The...
