Before my baby break comes, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at how the CCC meta has been for the last three years. For that purpose, I will take a look at quantitive data but then also make that much more relevant with qualitative recollections, as far as possible. And to structure...

I just added Crackleburr to my cube's occasionals. Shadowmoor/Eventide is, to me, the gift that keeps giving, and I feel like the block is undervalued by both the cube community and the magic community as a whole. It deserves to be mentioned in one breath with the greatest sets/blocks of all...

I would argue that the fact, that Mutavault tokens might become a popular token soon is actually more upside than downside? It makes it more widely known what the card does then? One less card for people to read? Anyway, I decided to go with Mutavault and to dismiss factory because of it's...

I have an epic fight to settle, friends. Mutavault Mishra's Factory I like that Mutavault reads so much cleaner than Factory with it's weird tap ability. I also like that Mutavault is a Goblin, that's relevant for Goblin Trashmaster and friends in the core and for a couple of random typal...

Shelt:er: Shelter

I don't know why, but I feel like I could've guessed your top five. At least 5, 2 and 1 are cards I read love letters from you before :)

Any american fellows here, if you'd consider fleeing to Germany, I'll promise you shelter in my cube group

And it's just getting worse with the current regime (huge surprise, so sad).

Great, thanks! Now I need to get Panglacial Wurm into my occasionals...

Yesterday I fired another 4 player draft in my living room with my old playgroup. The only difference was that my wife didn't feel fit enough to participate – but she got substituted. We had a friend of ours start playing recently. He played twice with us an a couple of times on arena. This was...

I really enjoyed the most recent lucky paper episode where they talked about there top 5 cards each, why they love them and a little bit of history on that. And since I love hearing, talking and reading about cube cards, I thought that would be a neat little thread. 5. Order of Midnight It...

Weird dilemma. They all seem to be payoffs for different themes (although 1 and 2 have overlap). Firespitter would be my favorite on face value.

Maybe FoF is worse when you cube with hardcore spikes. I've never had it be a time problem in my cube.

Sadly, the cycle is not complete. We have 7 of 10 bicycle lands. I mean, I have had 10/10 proxed somewhere for years, but officially. My solution for this topic is to keep Tranquil Thicket but not the other four once I add the bicycles. Maybe also Barren Moor. Blue and red have many...

But isn't this totally dependent on cube speed/power level?

But that is my point exactly. Me and most of us don't want exactly that. I would prefer a format without "Rakdos is a cowboy now", "Sharks on motor cycles" and "Sherlock Holmes party on Ravnica" over a format that forbids Rally at the Hornburg or Hei Bai, Spirit of Balance. I mean, I would...

That's right. "Magic adjacent UB" seems to be mostly accepted within enfranchised players. Stuff like LotR or Elder Scrolls seem to be just that for almost everyone, but stuff like Final Fantasy or Avatar is already more controversial. Tough spot for WotC - but I think just screwing that and...

For a loam deck that wants cycling lands for repeatable card draw, how much worse is cycling {2} than cycling {G}? Festering Thicket Tranquil Thicket I considered, blasphemously, to cut my onslaught cycle lands, bring back the bicycle duals instead (at least five of them) and free some cube...

When you play with beginners, just be extra kind. In certain situations, remind them that you have something on board. Or ask them if they're sure when they are about to do a obvious huge misplay, so they get a chance to rethink before they ruin another game for themselves.
