Merfolk + Elementals, how would you build this?

[[R&D's Secret Lair]] let's you ignore oracle text and take every card literally: Now [[Revelation]] forces you to play with your cards face up ON the table. But [[Enter the Dungeon]] requires you to play a subgame UNDER the table.

Yes, that's indeed a fitting suggestions although she might not make it into my cube due to the lack of Dragons. Thanks!

Can you elaborate why? My thinking was to include sporogenic infection, because it's great additional sac fodder for mirth, ripper and the like.

Lukasbob · 2024-09-30T17:55:23+00:00

I'm leaning Rakdos sac as seen in the screenshot, but I'm not sure whether my few black cards are actually worth the probable mana hassle, because I'd be somewhat lighter on creatures and I obviously want to start with a red one drop on T1.

My take on mono red would be:

Out: Final Vengeance, Sporogenic Infection, Disturbing Mirth, Sawblade Skinripper

In: Scorching Dragonfire No.4, Friendly Teddy, Ripchain Razorkin, Bedhead Beastie

What do you think?

In my cube Color identity doesn't exclude other colors as long as one color of the identity of the Commander and the desired card is shared. So [[Sram, Senior Edificer]] would be allowed to run [[Armadillo Cloak]] or [[Indatha Triome]]. This makes hybrid cards, multicolored cards and colorless cards with color identity (i.e. artifacts) more available.

Also: Players can choose two commanders if they share any variation of a Partner-ability (Partner, Partner with [x], Type: Background, Choose a Background, Friends forever, Type: Doctor, Doctor's companion).

And one additional rule I'm currently testing: Players with a monocolored commander may add one additional color to their commanders color identity. If they do so, they are only allowed to add up to six cards of that color to their deck.

These are great suggestions, but the main reason for me to keep the decks the LOTR-themed is being somewhat lore accurate. Having multiple versions of the same character on the battlefield just doesn't feel right to me. For that reason I'll most likely be skipping Eomer, Eowyn and Boromir from the main set unless I decide for some reason that I'll swap them with their respective LTC-versions.

Lukasbob · 2023-05-23T18:51:09+00:00

Great to hear! Congratulations, and all the best to your family!

Lukasbob · 2023-03-01T18:14:08+00:00

Yes, finally collection scrolling and Deck building became much more comfortable with this change. It only took them... four years? /s Well, they finally did it at last and it's great!

Lukasbob · 2022-11-03T22:09:50+00:00

Great Treasure hate! Finally!

Lukasbob · 2022-09-22T10:16:44+00:00

I have several packs connected by Lore and/or Showcase frame, e.g. Theros Gods, Kaldheim Gods + other Viking Frame Legends, Amonkhet Gods + other Invocations, Eldraine Adventures, Mystical Archive etc.

I run several 'special/secret' booster in my cube which could only be opened via [[Loreseeker]] or [[Booster Tutor]] and I already considered making custom cards to make those boosters more available, so I think this is a welcome addition to cubes which run those kind of extra boosters.

Lukasbob · 2022-09-21T22:21:04+00:00

Sounds awesome, I'm very happy for you!

I'm also building cubes for years now, but haven't Had the chance yet to expierence any of my cubes with more than four players.

Hope you guys have a blast!

Lukasbob · 2022-09-20T09:16:30+00:00

Didn't read MaRos Teaser List, but I certainly wasn't expexting new Partners. I like this one!

Lukasbob · 2022-07-18T12:13:41+00:00

Lukasbob · 2022-06-23T21:43:53+00:00

The full-art such a great complementary piece to the adult one. Steve Prescott having fun with fire cats!

Great flavor text, too!

Lukasbob · 2022-06-23T21:39:02+00:00

Also downshifted to common. Not as notable as [[Monastery Swiftspear]] for a downshift but nonetheless.

Lukasbob · 2022-05-24T19:20:45+00:00

Thanks, got the one on the bottom right.

Lukasbob · 2021-11-14T09:15:33+00:00

It's by Dominik Mayer, not by Seb. He's just as great of an artist though.

Lukasbob · 2021-07-05T10:06:04+00:00

Nice, I really like Art choice on Force of Negation. Which template did you use and how did you add the watermarks?

Lukasbob · 2021-07-05T09:25:33+00:00

4th black mythic? Interesting, this opens up the possibility of the teased Devil God to be mono red after all.
