    General Subthemes at High Power Levels

    In order to add some extra texture to my decks I'm looking for some subthemes/packages of cards that create bridges between archetypes and are playable at Legacy/Vintage power level. A couple of examples: Lands & Value Gives your decks an interesting way of generating value and goes into any...

    General Interesting Cards at High Power Levels

    I think, it's time to get a fresh breath of air and introduce some new (possibly old) cards into my list, potentially going off the beaten path to some extent. I know at high power level there's a smaller variety of cubeable stuff than you could meet at lower power, and sometimes it seems that...

    General RNG Tries to Fuck Me Up?

    Here’s a deck from our recent online draft. It did pretty well (2-1), but its pilot complained about some inconsistency. Often his opening hands had, say, no 2 drop or 1 drop, which prevented the player from using all of his mana available each turn. After the draft I decided to make an...

    Card/Deck Cutting Some Excesses

    I know I may be asking a stupid question/the one that has been asked multiple times somewhere in this forum, but We want 3 aggro decks to appear per draft (along with 2 control, 2 midrange and 1 tempo decks). To give them the needed support and make them more or less consistent, we would need...

    A Different Approach to Lands

    Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Our cube has emulation of Modern atmosphere as its main idea; non-basic lands and interaction with them are essential parts of the format. However, in a typical cube draft you’re able to get about 3 to 5 of them, and the rest will be basics. Earlier, when we were...

    Card/Deck Control Mirror Matches

    Good day, amigos! The first playtest of our cube has shown the problem of boring control mirrors, but up to this moment it wasn't paid to much attention because there were some more important things to work with. During the next several tournaments such matchups took place, too. UR and UW Spells...

    Card/Deck Dimir (UB) Steal & Sacrifice

    Hello, comrades! Has anyone had any experience with this archetype? I have some cards which might fit it well, but don't have a game-plan in my mind. I don't even know what it should be: midrange or control? Iconic steal effects: Dragonlord Silumgar Connive // Concoct Threads of Disloyalty...

    Card/Deck Ramp

    Hello, dear friends! Happy New Year! Hopefully, you've celebrated it with your friends and/or relatives, and, hopefully, you were warm and full. I've been playtesting and trimming my cube list for some time, and one problem I've faced is Ramp as an archetype. Here're some questions which I'd...

    Card/Deck Blue-Based Artifact Decks

    Sorry, this thread appeared because of a lack of creativity. I have some problems with supporting artifacts in my cube. Red-white Aggro artifacts are, probably, nicely done, but blu-based decks don't diversify from draft to draft. I guess one of the reasons for that is artifacts which are useful...

    The Modern Utopia Cube

    THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT STATE OF THE CUBE. The list originated as a Modern-focused and Modern-flavored cube, but over the years it drifted towards emulating the old (2017) list of MTGO Legacy cube, with better aggro support and less durdly games being the main...

    General Flickery (Not Featuring J. Scott)

    Hello guys! I thought that at last I managed to get done with more difficult archetypes and now everything will go easily. Surprise. Let's get to the point. In what colours do you support blink-flicker archetype? Is it Control/Aggro/Aggro-Control/Midrange? People say that usually you even don't...

    General Spells Matter: Astonished With a Freedom

    Hello everyone! I didn't see a dedicated thread on this archetype before. So, how do you guys support so called Spells Matter in your cubes? I'm thinking of it as of a primary strategy for Izzet Section, but, of course, it isn't limited by it. Which deck type (Aggro, Tempo, Midrange, Control)...

    Card/Deck Archetypes & Themes For Golgari Swarm (GB)

    Hello, everyone! There was already a thread on GB, but I'm more interested in themes that in separate gold cards. Currently I'm working on my modern focused cube, and I struggle with creating a GB-sacrifice archetype. I already support WB aritocrats with a possibility of splashing red or green...

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    Hello, everyone! I'm new to cube, so I tried to learn as much as possible about building it, but, unfortunately, I ommited one thing. Many people advise others to start building their cubes with creating the core of a cube. But I don't understand, what the core of a set or a cube is. Does this...
