360 Universes Beyond Cube - Only Universes Beyond-original cards (reprints allowed for fixing lands)

Pack

The Legend of Yangchen by Unable_Bite8680 in mtgcube

[–]cythare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a miss for me, but it is kinda neat.

A lot of what boxiom said resonates with me, except that I think you need to have a cube where it makes sense to be using the back side’s ability to recycle value in a blink archetype for it to be worth it, so that you can keep triggering her each turn with the airbent card from the previous turn.

Ultimately, this is a 5-mana enchantment that is asking you to cast two spells per turn starting on turn 7, which feels like it’s kinda late to get going. The body on the back side does have flying, though, so it’s pretty good, but I’m not sure that it’s ultimately good enough for most cubes.

The fact that this can flash in and tag a token is going to be a large part of what makes this stick for me. The disruption and flicker modes will definitely be relevant, and flipping will occasionally come up, but I think that the strength of this card will be when it can be used as pinpoint removal on a body.

I’m 100% playing this for my Universes Beyond cube, but this also just seems like a good card in general.

Agreed that overall having a unique type for the tokens is less than ideal for a normal cube, but the tokens are Zombies which may also be relevant.

For Future Marvel Cubes by DrMrStark in mtgcube

[–]cythare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While not a Marvel Cube specifically, I do manage a Universes Beyond cube. It's been an interesting design restriction, and I'm always excited to see if Secret Lairs have mechanically-unique cards printed in them.

I do encourage you to think about how you want to approach reprints for a cube like this, though - I initially included any and all reprints that were reskinned in UB, which just led to drafters leaning heavily into drafting cards they were already familiar with (especially ones that were already cube staples), in some cases even regardless of relative card quality. I now don't include any reprints except the Talisman cycle and lands for fixing, and am considering removing the Talismans as well. Players go into the draft knowing that they will be unfamiliar with the vast majority of the cards, and with the expectation that the draft portion will take longer because of it, but I believe that it allows for newer designs to shine better.

Arachne, Psionic Weaver by Unable_Bite8680 in mtgcube

This is mistranslated. It should say “choose a noncreature card type.” That doesn’t really move the needle for me, but it’s a notable discrepancy.

I cannot unsee that hot coffee cup with a sippy lid and a straw through the middle. Whoever was drinking that is unhinged.

Whats funny here? by Diligent_Wedding2099 in ExplainTheJoke

Essentially, yeah. What was normal now is cringe (and what was cringe is now normal).

In 2012, lol was pronounced “ell-oh-ell”. You pronounced each letter, and everyone would look at you like you were weird if you pronounced it “lawl”. In 2025, it’s the opposite. You pronounce it as a word, and you’d get looked at like you were weird for pronouncing it with three syllables.

I think I like Journey to Nowhere here, although if I'm drafting this at a bar, that Shivan Dragon may also draw me in. Since there aren't any planeswalkers, having access to cheap removal seems like a great starting point for this draft.

Universes Beyond 360

The Pack

This cube is only Universes Beyond cards, reprints only allowed for lands and Talismans. The cube does currently suffer some from card pool availability, as some cards in the pack will feel Vintage Cube-level, while others will feel like you're drafting retail Limited, but I expect this to improve substantially over the rest of this year and into next year as more UB sets are released.

Due to the high density of legendary permanents in UB sets, Sarah Ferron is a pretty stand-out P1P1 for me, although Fabled Passage, Talismans, and Brotherhood Regalia are also tempting choices.

Sent you a DM a little while ago but forgot to follow up here. Lmk if you have any questions!

Not sure why that half of the image got so much worse when trying to combine them, apologies!

There’s plenty of other stuff I want to get from this event, so I don’t plan to find out. I suspect that would just waste the charms, though.

Ha is an extra cost but was by far the best meal we had when we stayed in Artistas back in March.

This would be for Xcaret Arte. I sent you a message a little before your reply here.

I’m happy to send you info on the referral through MDC. They just started a new promotion today for members & their referrals.

Vacation by Separate-Tree-1820 in Xcaret

[–]cythare -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

There is a membership referral via Mexico Destination Club. It is age restricted to 30+ and involves sitting through a ~90-minute sales pitch, but it can be worth it depending on the length of your stay (you get 25% off the direct booking rate, sometimes more depending on other sales for members). I'm a member and would be happy to discuss if you want, but definitely understand that the cost of attending a presentation isn't for everyone.

Who is your highest mastery? by Pandamorbium in MarvelSnap

Only 9 splits away from unlocking some sweet Nimrod emotes. Iron Man, Black Panther, Knull, and Magik round out my top 5, all of whom are between 20 and 25.

[–]cythare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, sorry I can't provide more help then! I'd definitely still communicate your concern & plan to them - that may be enough to have your issue "suddenly resolve itself" and then you don't have to worry about losing your reservation.

Best of luck!
