General [Contest] 30+ Eggs in one Basket

[ellogeyen]

I think I'll post an egg a day next week to get some juices flowing

(In all seriousness, my brain is screaming at me that I should use one of the Conspiracy "draft matters" cards as my egg. Lore Seeker wouldn't be on the table, if only because I think that would legitimately be one of the shittiest possible cubes.)

What about this one?

 

[TrainmasterGT]

Is this the direction you plan to go?

Mayyyyybe

Food for thought?

The last egg a day! Don't believe anyone claimed this one yet.

Even the newest set gives a fun option for the challenge

My favorite way to playtest a Cube on my own is just to draft it a bunch on CubeCobra. However, this has the problem of BOTS! CubeCobra does not love new cards, and their ELO is very low. This is even more pronounced on Mister Gutsy, my egg of choice for NO GUTSY NO GLORY. I put together a very rough 360 for two reasons: first, because I do plan on building it in paper later because theory-crafting this has been so much fun, and second, because it's much easier to iterate by cutting than by adding. But it's been hard because the bots never draft Gutsy.

Any suggestions? Can I manually change the ELO for my Cube? I feel like I'm getting bad signals. It has helped in terms of seeing where I have gaps and overlaps a ton already and I'm excited to make adjustments, but I feel like there's only so much it can do without it drafting appropriately for this particular context.

It's a beautiful day, folks! I've been having a total creative block when it comes to cubing for the last year or so, and this contest wasn't any different. With a mere week left and no cube to show for it, I was about to throw in the towel. But then I thought of a card:

Pictured: Inspiration!​

And that, in conjunction with my old idea of building a "blueless" cube, sparked something in my head. And so, if I may, I would like to introduce you to...

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Green​

I just burned all of my creative energies on putting together the first draft (which I pretty much did in one shot this afternoon) so there isn't a cube description, but the core idea was to build a four-color cube where the four colors are , , , and , and to go from there.

It's currently really rough, and I dunno if I'll have the wherewithal to polish it... but hey, I did a thing!

Here’s a question— can I put 60 eggs evenly split between two varieties into the same basket?

Spoiler: Translation

Can the Cube have 30 copies each of two different cards?

My interpretation of the contest was that as long as you had 30+ copies of at least 1 card that is all that mattered. If you had 180x Siege Rhino that would count. 90x Siege Rhino + 90x Brushwagg would also be sufficient.
If people want to add other cards to 'increase variety' then that's on them.

180x Siege Rhino… 90x Siege Rhino + 90x Brushwagg

I would play these cubes.
But not with TrainmasterGT who would just eat the cards.
