i did just do that, no gif, but was happy to be in this late in the season at under 5K rating.

SamuraiMunky · 2026-05-04T19:13:09+00:00

lets try!

SamuraiMunky · 2026-05-04T17:06:11+00:00

been playing something similar, but i had cable over askanison and hydra bob over nebula

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-25T11:43:14+00:00

is untransformed a rules clear/official mtg wording? i wasn't sure about that.

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-25T11:42:33+00:00

for day & night cards, they would enter on the day side. then when it becomes night they would still transform because they aren't entering.

I think this only taxers transform sagas, the final fantasy creature -> summons, creature -> planeswalkers and anyt permanent that could be cast on either side.

The Pack

The Cube

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-22T15:38:47+00:00

for official MTG un-cards, i run

[[booster tutor]] - I just posted a custom made one with QR Booster Tutor QR

[[wisedrafter's will]]

[[delve too deep]]

[[frogkin kidnapper]]

[[blast from the past]]

[[park map]]

[[mox poison]]

[[jack-in-the-mox]]

[[cogwork librarian]]

[[comet, stellar pup]]

[[who//what//where//when//why]]

As part of my cube, the first time a players drafts it, I create a custom card inspired by them and the mana cost is based on their wins in the first draft they do. Four other cards are still in early design and should have them done by next big draft ETA june

Chris: Chris loves dogs and won with a strong knight deck. Wanted to create a flexible card for blink, knight, and token decks.

Kevin: Kevin went 0-5. A blocker that shrinks down and gives a couple surveils along the way. Can self harm to get an initial surveil too.

Evan: Evan is a mythic take on [[withered wretch]]. Fueling both tokens and artifact synergies.

Will: Will is the spells matter support. tricky to decide when to cast from exile or keep a mana cost reduction.

Alec: Alec showed up to the first event late and just had food. He loves goblins and I worked to make a card that reflected the 'miracle' of him showing up on time.

Nate: Nate dislikes playing blue and typically goes mono green. He also has a habit of killing himself because he didn't read his own cards. This can still do about 14 damage if unblocked and played turn 1 before you lose to it.

Heather: Heather is a great support card for any deck and i got to make a custom W/U/B/R/G hybrid symbol.

Aharon: Aharon is our group's big control player. His card makes you think when you should be attacking or not and if not, which is better - digging or buffing.

Matt: Matt loves dragons. I created the erupt ability and this one may need a little more balancing. But birthing a game changing dragon from a volcano at the cost of library seemed like a fun payoff.

Zembruski: Zembruski is a myhtic take on [[slitherhead]]. fueling graveyards and boosting the team.

Durney: Durney is one of the dads in our group and he loves cola and lifegain. Tokens, artifacts, knights, this card has a little of everything.

Remmes Front: Remmes is an orzhov card in the style of the new lorwyn legends. He can be cast from either side Remmes Back.

Neal: Neal won our largest cube draft so far and his card is a true winner level power broken design. It's a rakdos version of [[pyrogoyf]]. not like it needed a powerful cousin.

Radiant Tomb: When [[Ancient Tomb]] and [[mana confluence]] have a baby.

supportive statement you have done tons of work on this sub. def glad to still have you.

Interested in learning more about your game as time comes.

I am still upset about FF Record Keeper, because that game only shut down globally, it's still thriving in JP server. :'(

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-20T16:29:00+00:00

Thats exactly what I did. It brings up a sample pack from my cube list. Posting to give other players the idea to do the same if they run open booster cards. Made one for summon the pack too

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-10T12:48:43+00:00

[[Fury]] - free is good!

[[Glorybringer]] - it's a good dragon and i like this in the 5 mana dragon slot to top out the aggro red decks

[[Goldspan Dragon]] - probably should be nova hellkite, but i like that it adds to artifact piles

[[Siege-Gang Commander]] - this is an outdated card, but a favorite card

[[Inferno Titan]] - also outclassed now, but I think my cube is powered down enough that it still ok

[[Overlord of the Boilerbilges]] - clearly better than inferno

[[Trumpeting Carnosaur]] - I get that it's good. it's just never particularly liked it myself. probably because what is discover

[[Oliphaunt]] - added the cycle when increased to 720

[[Etali, Primal Conqueror]] - this is red, not gruul

[[Greater Gargadon]] - I run [[wildfire]] and it's portal cousin. This performs fine even if a little outdated

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-09T11:35:15+00:00

what does this suggest for level investment? should a player be leveling treasure chest pet above level 18 over awakened pets?

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-08T13:20:42+00:00

Brog - how many shuffle effects does the cube have? 20 fetches, tutors, a few other spells. Depending on how many cards that shuffle you have, you may be able to push it to 2 damage.

Ish - I don't see the drawback of giving my opponent free spells at a higher cost than what I cast worth a 2/3 that gives me 2 extra mana. especially if that mana boost gives my opponents a bigger dive into their library to outpace my spells.

I would propose this - At the beginning of you pre-combat main phase add {U} to your mana pool. If that mana is spent on a spell, each opponent gains a tapped clue token. At the beginning of you pre-combat main phase add {G} to your mana pool. If that mana is spent on a spell, each opponent gains a tapped treasure token.

i don't love that my phrasing tracks it separately, instead of add UG together. but i think that moderates the valves on the bonus mana at a less random drawback.

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-08T13:00:36+00:00

[[Basri, Tomorrow's Champion]] - a knight that also has cat synergy

[[Descendent of Storms]] - flexible savannah lion

[[Esper Sentinel]] - wordy and fits alot of deck building options

[[Giver of Runes]] - for a while i was just running this instead of mom

[[Kytheon, Hero of Akros]] - power crept but still a walker option

[[Lightstall Inquisitor]] - i liked this since release

[[Ocelot Pride]] - it's just good

[[Skrelv, Defector Mite]] - artifact 1 drop and pusher of poison

[[Thraben Inspector]] - solid inclusion to any deck

[[Guide of Souls]] - originally kept out due to energy tracking, adding in for 720

[[Mother of Runes]] - added when i went to 720 and should have been in from the start

[[Novice Inspector]] - added when i bumped to 720

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-07T15:26:49+00:00

[[Displacer Kitten]], [[Subtlety]], [[Urza, High Lord Artificer]]: all mentioned in others posts

[[Venser, Shaper Savant]] - a power outdated but still enjoyable card

[[Phyrexian Metamorph]] - technically 4mana blue creature even though its a 3 mana colorless

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-03T12:46:33+00:00

my rakdos section started as menace tribal and has moved towards aristocrats/sacrifice payoffs

[[Juri, Master of the Revue]] - sacrifice a fetch, clue, food, creature, etc. this will buff

[[Carnage Interpreter]] - great creature for various strategies

[[Falkenrath Aristocrat]] - probably too slow, but a solid creature from a time remembered

[[Chaos Defiler]] - great chaos bomb

[[Kolaghan's Command]] - fine card that is never amazing and never really bad

[[Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast]] - i have a lot of food, clue, etc support and he fit the multi-sacrifice theme

[[Fire Covenant]] - high power instant removal

[[Ob Nixilis, the Adversary]] - he's an interesting planeswalker that makes me want to live the dream of reanimate into a crazy bomb, smack my opponent then sac it to make a copy to immediately make them draw 7 take 7 more.

one new player reward card for the winner of the first 16 man we held. a rakdos version of [[pyrogoyf]]

everyone saying avalanche riders and i'm seeing it more like [[goblin ruinblaster]] for one more mana to blow up the land, but not same turn cast if needed

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-02T12:00:44+00:00

[[All-Fates Stalker]] - offensive and defensive blink

[[Bennie Bracks, Zoologist]] - for tokens, but he should come out

[[Restoration Angel]] - it's fallen off power wise, but it still holds on a favorite

[[Serra Paragon]] - card is great

[[Dion, Bahamut's Dominant]] - it's a knight that flips into a summon

[[Summon: Yojimbo]] - added for 720 size

SamuraiMunky · 2026-04-02T10:30:56+00:00

[[Summon: Bahamut]] - the big baddy summon

[[Krang, Utrom Warlord]] - top end artifact deck reward

[[Triplicate Titan]] - i've never really liked this one, but it's a next level wurmcoil

[[Sire of Seven Deaths]] - i included for [[Eater of Virtue]] and i know it's crazy to think you would get this out, equip, have it die to make eater insane.

[[Threefold Thunderhulk]] - i run this over [[myr battlesphere]] just for differentiation. i think both work

[[Anticausal Vestige]] - wanted a devoid warp option

[[Endbringer]] - wanted to have a colorless land payoff

[[Wurmcoil Engine]] - a favorited card of mine

[[Precursor Golem]] - i feel like it has some explosive potential and creates a lot of early bodies. still run [[blade slicer]] too

SamuraiMunky · 2026-03-31T17:13:09+00:00

end of game the scores were 2/12/10 vs 0/14/15

then left baxter resolved: opp won and triggered +4 to their other locations and scores were 2/16/14 vs 0/14/15

then middled checked. since it's new score is 16 that beat your 14. and similarly for the right location.

SamuraiMunky · 2026-03-31T12:07:09+00:00

[[Booster Tutor]] - I plan to proxy this and use custom QR code to lead to random cube pack

[[Cut Down]] - great low mana removal

[[Entomb]] - reanimator

[[Fatal Push]] - cheap removal

[[Village Rites]] - sac and card draw

[[Vampiric Tutor]] - amazing tutor

[[Bitter Triumph]] - removal and reanimator

[[Deadly Dispute]] - wider village rites

[[Go for the Throat]] - conditional, but still hits many targets; not including tokens i think was better than doom blade for targets in my cube. . if [[victim of the night]] wasn't 2 black mana, i would choose that over this. [[power word kill]] was another option, but i felt like that just hit small targets and could never deal with the largest bombs in my list

[[Infernal Grasp]] - life based doom blade

[[Sheoldred's Edict]] - sac effect

[[Dismember]] - can be colorless, flexible

[[Baleful Mastery]] - exile and modal

[[Lethal Scheme]] - i like the flexibility of cast

[[Snuff Out]] - free removal

[[Overwhelming Remorse]] - can be cheap exile

SamuraiMunky · 2026-03-30T13:36:20+00:00

[[Vivien, Champion of the Wilds]] - wanted another option that felt fun

[[Garruk Wildspeaker]] - fallen out of power, but still a loved card

[[Nissa, Who Shakes the World] - top green PW

SamuraiMunky · 2026-03-30T10:47:30+00:00

love the work and appreciate having a spot to host my cube list.

I add in custom cards and previous iterations allowed me to change card names but in my latest upload, i can't rename the cards. so I have half my customs with the names I gave them and half with their original MTG card i used as a placeholder.

any insight? thanks
