Seconding Altar of Dementia and Monument to Endurance.

This one seems very ravnic speed and has the kind of high octane play patterns that suit an occasional. I'll always shill for this card, it's fun as hell.

Thanks, riptiders, I got everything now I think. For now, I'll go with these four artifacts:



And then I also figured that the occasionals would be the place to get a sprinkle of eldrazi in my cube:



Embrace the Chaos!

Today someone won a game with Triskaidekaphobia. Occasionals rock.

I'm happy to hear it's working out well for you! Saw on your cube blog thread the different categories of cards you've included and that looks great!

I haven't been playing or keeping up to date, just busy with other things in life (and not very excited with giving more money to Hasbro). But I'm still happy that my cube takes up two boxes.

So cool to hear from you! Do you recall how many cards your core and your occasionals boxes each contain? And what percentage would each make up for a draft pool when you got to draft it?

I feel that 100%, it's likely that people will also hear much less from me soon, since in less than two months my daughter will be born

But even than I'm sure I will return and I would be happy to hear you're returning as well at some point. Cube is still one of the most awesome things to spend time on, it shall outlive magic!

360 core and 506 occasionals, the link in my signature is the exact cube list.

6.7% occasionals, because so would seed packs like:

13c/2o
14c/1o
15c

But I was experimenting with higher counts, found 13.5% to be too much but I think 10% is around the ideal spot.


Awesome to hear about your family growing!

The good news is, the hectic period of a parent’s life doesn’t last forever. And I should know, since my daughter (and youngest) just turned 10! Dear Lord, where did the time go?!

I'll try my very best to embrace every moment of it, even the stressful ones

I think I found a very good solution for marking my occasionals. I bought those colored, sticky dots, cut them into quarters and put them on the corner of the inner sleeve. Looks like this:

Spoiler: Occasionals marked

I like those quarter dots: clear without being intrusive and look quite attreactive.

I'm with you on this. Taking my older son to start university next weekend.
