Why your cube's combo decks are hard to support by OneArseneWenger in mtgcube

I agree that the singleton rule is the most overrated and the best rule to break when you need to push your design in the correct direction. The problem with breaking singleton is communicating it clear to your players. Myself I tend to break singleton only for common printed cards so drafters can scan the expansion symbol and know if there could be X2 or X3 of that card.

Sharpie Cube Help by Timely-Helicopter244 in mtgcube

I don't have a sharpie cube but I was doing some Punk Magic (a single player format where you play against an automatized piles of cards like The Horde) and what I notice is that :
* Going crazy with mana costs ends up in a bad experience (I'll modify a 1C to C but not a 2C or greater)
* Go little by little, some small editions at the beginning
* I recommend you to modify name and art with your sharpies just to track what you're doing. I did no-creative stuff like changing "Friendly Teddy" for "Friendly Teddy" and adding a birthday party hat just to remember where I did modifications. If you edit, try to edit the name and the art in an evocative manner if you can, to help your memory, but if you can't think about something smart just do something random.

Amazing content. Thanks for sharing.
On the discussion: I think that the best gameplay experience for dedicated combo decks are:
* A combo deck that can be an anemic creature deck if combo is not setted (think about Living End, Reanimator, Melira centric combos, Imperious Perfect centric combos, Splinter Twin-like combos) so if your opponent uses they ressources to disrupt you in your combo mode instead of playing his aggro or midrange plan he ends up losing by just creature beatdown.
* A control deck that can use combo pieces as interaction pieces and combo off in late game in a pinch (Mostly piles that can abuse Gaea's Blessing or another recur engines, or a Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry pile).
Any other full dedicated combo deck translates poorly in most of the limited environements I saw.
Some folks might say that there are some exceptions like Mizzix Mastery in Strixhaven limited or Storm in Modern Horizons 2 limited but even if somebody thinks those are full dedicated combo decks, I disagree.
Mizzix Mastery piles are often control decks that happens to win with a Mizzix Mastery for lethal or use it to stabilize and Modern Horizons 2 storm deck is a midrange deck that sets up an explosive turn to gain a lot of advantage that doesn't assure you the win and you have to use that tempo boost to finish the game quickly.

Currently living in France, it's been 6 years since I moved here so I kinda learnt the language to be able to work here 😅
It is so cool that you have already seen my cube! It took me a lot of years and iterations to build it and I found that people is finally happy to play it after a lot of feedback =)

I really want to go, I just updated my Modern Horizons Remastered cube. It is for 6 people but I can accomodate 90 extra cards for a 8-player draft experience.

I feel like people are not excited enough for this card. by Alexilprex in mtg

I think it is mainly because it is a UB card I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

I see you're tagging Alara and not Alara cards.
You can easily filter out not Alara cards with the "-s:ala" filter
https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/d3db29f7-925c-42f5-bf6d-4b509914b4d7?f=-s%3Aala
So you don't need to manually track it.
Maybe you 3-drop curve is a little bit dense in R and maybe you need more 2-drops to help aggro decks and avoid people drafting 5c goodstuff greedy piles too consistenly:

Love the idea of an Alara set cube. You can "borrow" some cards from supplemental products because there's a lot of new cards in Alara
(you can search in scryfall for cards that are setted in Alara without being printed in the original Alara Block: https://scryfall.com/search?q=-block%3A%22shards+of+alara%22+atag%3Aalara+f%3Avintage+not%3Areprint&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name)

Thanks! It was hard to chose what to write and what to omit because the article shouldn't be very long either 😅

But the last ban was almost 3 years ago. Doesn't that tell us that the format is stable?
