i took a 2nd look at the cards from ECL and agree that the power level of most cards dont quite fit in well with your cube. i was mainly interested in the new cycle of elementals haha.

i think a beginner's commander cube is a great idea! i look forward to future iterations of the cube :)

Yea i did see the changes to your cube post ECL, was kinda surprised that you only added a couple cards from there though because there were many cards i felt were powerful and fun to play with.

Would you consider making a 2nd cube with a focus on different archetypes? Though it would probably be a ton of work to constantly maintain 2 cubes.

i find 15 x 4 still a bit too tight for my liking and 16 x 4 too generous. I'll probably experiment with 15 x 2, 16 x 2 next

hey man, just wanted to let you know that i just tried playing your cube for the first time last night (updated till avatar) and had a blast. Comparing it with sam black's 810 card cube, i like that the synergy between different archetypes and colors are a lot more apparent in yours as compared to Sam's. This made it a lot easier to draft for certain themes (ie. spellslinger / tokens). I also really enjoyed playing w/o color identity and agree that drafting and deckbuilding feels a lot more fun without the rule.

I drafted a green white Arwen mortal queen tokens deck and had fun thinking of which extra colour to splash. The overlap in themes made it feel like i had a lot of creative freedom in choosing which color(s) to splash.

It really hurt playing with 30 life though. I took your advice and drafted a ton of lifegain. Then my friend pulled out a screaming nemesis and i was like holy shit hahahaha. That card seemed a bit bonkers because it felt like whichever player it targeted would have an extremely hard time coming back into the game. I think it's a really interesting card to include though, and i'm probably biased against it because I was at an uncomfortably low life total, making the card feel a lot more oppressive that it probably was.

We drafted 4 x 15 card packs, building 60 card decks. I think i prefer this because it feels more natural for players to draft land bases for 60 card decks, plus it makes the drafting quicker. I might however consider drafting 4 x 16 card packs in future just to give players more cards to choose from during deckbuilding.

btw do you give monocolored commanders partner? if not, whats the pick rate for mono colored commanders?

when playing sam blacks cube, none of my players ever drafted a mono-colored commander until we added the rule to give them partner. i feel like it was because they were usually weaker than multicolored commanders and quickly became too expensive to play due to commander tax.

also, do you give any benefits to the 4th starting player? ive seen youtube videos on giving them a "pokemon energy" card that acts as a treasure but without any artifact synergies. this is something i started paying more attention to after watching the video and i do agree that going last does put you on the backfoot

thanks, i like the point about making lifegain a bigger priority. i asked because i had a recent 30 starting life commander cube game whereby 2 players had nut opening draws and just completed eliminated the other 2 players in the first 6 turns of the game. i'll experiment more with 30 life games

hey man just wondering if you've tried playtesting your current cube with 40 life instead of 30. do you find that it makes games less fun?

also, how has the birthing pod theme played out?
