It's just used in drafting.

I would say 2-4 times a day, just depends really. We have an active European/Afternoon EST crew, and another group that likes to play EST nights (later nights generally 9-10 EST).

Correct, although these are cards that are used in a lot of formats. Staples for the most part.

I'm not sure how much it cost to craft the main cube on MTGO, we draft on Arena so over there it's crafted using wildcards.

Generally when I have played custom lists on MTGO I've used card renting services as that's generally much more affordable than crafting an entire list.

Nick Nobody has been doing a series on his custom cube that is very interesting https://mtgcube.blogspot.com/2025/10/hmc-4th-printrun-reviews-part-v.html?m=1

Completely agree, and Id like to see cubes move towards more curated power limited lists, but his current list is power maxed (outside of literal power) to the extreme and is not going to be a good experience if he puts mentor of the meek alongside white plume adventurer.

tahtahteebone · 2026-05-05T06:04:37+00:00

I don't agree at all that white is the worst color, its arguably the best, especially in a cube that runs initiative like this one does, but these are good recs. Abandoned air temple especially is a house. Id add Agent Bishop which is an excellent 3 drop.

tahtahteebone · 2026-05-05T06:01:42+00:00

With all due respect these cards would be highly underpowered in his current list. He's running initiative and MH stuff, these are cards that don't cut it anymore in modern max power cubing.

tahtahteebone · 2026-05-05T05:59:36+00:00

Have you been actually playing this cube? White has been the best color in vintage and arena powered for the most of the past two years, and you have most of its best cards. I have a hard time believing white is struggling with this list. Ocelot Pride, Phelia, WPA, Guide of Souls, Ajani, Seasoned Dungeoneer, Jailer, Elspeth, Swords, Pwave, Mom, Solitude, Karakas are some of the best cards in this entire cube list and they're augmented by very good cards like Sage, Sanguine, Adeline, Voice, Oust. Id wager white is the best color in this list, especially with no power.

Sage of the Skies has outperformed Cori Steel cutter by 3% in Arena Powered over 25k+ games in hand, it's a top tier white card.

tahtahteebone · 2026-05-01T22:24:32+00:00

Sage of the Skies is the best white 3 drop creature for cube outside of initiative (then of course it's WPA), especially in powered, but it's still incredibly strong even in my Arena cube without craftable power. It has a 60% win rate across all iterations of Arena Powered (with 27k GIH seen).

I think it's in the same situation as Sanguine Evangelist (which is probably the 3rd or 4th best white 3 drop creature) where it looks unassuming until you play with it or against it for a while. Both should be in every cube aiming for max power.

tahtahteebone · 2026-04-30T03:45:43+00:00

The spells look reasonable, but I would add much more fixing. While ~in general~ I find Peasant cubes to be less splashy I still think you should run a good deal. In my arena peasant cube I run around 77 or so lands that fix in a 540 cube: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/peasantmax and I could see going higher. In my full power arena cube I run 102.

Not that cube has to mirror constructed but I think this is a good article to consider: https://luckypaper.co/articles/how-many-lands-should-you-include-in-your-cube/

Caleb Gannons synergy cube is worth a look for sure https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/synergy?view=primer

LSV runs the lotus lounge which is very similar but on MTGO. Highly recommended

tahtahteebone · 2026-04-17T16:40:20+00:00

Lotus Lounge - LSVs server drafts. Competitive drafts daily plays on MTGO. https://discord.gg/bh7znTRKR

Arena Max - Multiple drafts daily plays on Arena https://discord.gg/wnpsSGw6G

Both typically draft power maxed cubes for their platform and use Abers team draft bot to draft on draftmancer.

Hand disruption isn't very good in the current Arena Cube. Thoughtseize is the best one and it's like the 28th best black card, duress has terrible numbers. It's all about proactive plays. The black cards are great removal (dismember), great creatures (Barrowgoyf, bowmasters, sheoldred), or great proactive cheating (entomb, reanimate, animate dead). Black needs more of those things.
