I'm looking for a new way to articulate the structure of my cube for my thread. What are your favorite ways to format this information? Which cube posts have been the most successful and helpful for you?
In my last version of the GCC, I listed each archetype and included a sampling of cards that embodied the spirit of each archetype. It gives a pretty clear guidebook that was easy to digest, and maybe that's still the most useful. I just can't help but think it feels less in sync with the spirit of exploration that I'm working towards as I move away from such clearly defined archetypes.
I personally found your last breakdown super helpful. For one thing, the way you forced yourself to have enough themes for each color-pair ended up naturally revealing certain cross-links (e.g. I think oath reanimator ended up being under Selesnya even if it's only because you couldn't figure out anything else). This maintained a certain exploratory spirit.
If you look at The Black Cube thread, my intro post has a few headers and just a few sentences under each. Just let me draft the fuckin' thing and let's get on with it.In general, I find it really difficult to commit to reading a wall of text on someone's cube so I avoid lengthy explanations.
Anyone do any online trading? What platform do you use?
I was just estimating how much this newest revision of my cube is going to cost me, and almost soiled myself![]()
who has paper cubes thesedays anyways
Can you draft in person? I can't here in Canada
Sure it's there, sitting on my desk, but there's not a ton of reason to get physical cards until a COVID vaccine is widely in place
Does anyone have a good place to look up recent Mtg sets?
I used to use www.magiccards.info but Scryfall bought the page and closed the feature.
As an example how will you look up the last 20 sets in chronological order? Rigth now I am personally trying to find out where Spellbook Chandra is chronologically and to see the content.
Scryfall has a list of most recent to oldest sets: https://scryfall.com/sets
I hope that’s what you’re looking for
