Project:

180 cards, no tokens, no counters, no sleeves.

Shuffle it up for a quick draft with 2-4 friends at the bar, the picnic table, the Convention table, the Kitchen table.

ERRATA: Learn/Lesson applied to a subset of cards.

Hey Bar Cube Fans --

Well, i've been totally out of the game this year but decided to review the cube with all the new sets that released. There's been some great stuff coming out!

A couple of notes:

  1. Prioitizing cards that reward combat + targeting spells. I want these games to end.
  2. Manifest Dread is a dope way to create 'tokens' and in some cases, additional value!
  3. Pulling away from secret two color cards. I'm considering wiping the trilands from the list so people are less incentivized to play 'best in slot' and are rewarded with secret gold cards by staying open.
  4. I purposely minimize touching the graveyard in order to simplify zone tracking, but am more open as the years go on.

Most importantly...

  1. Please send me any fun feedback or stories you have from your own bar cubes. While i'm not actively playing Magic right now, i'd love to hear some fun anecdotes from your experiences within this space!

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

hi, how do you notate the Learn to subset cards? Do you use stickers or something? How's the gameplay may change when we don't use the Learn mechanic?

I was very excited to see an update - I was planning on looking at recent sets this weekend and potentially updating my version a bit!

  • Also considering cutting tri-lands for either the Duskmourn '13 life' lands or a combo of SNC '4, T, Sac: Draw' lands and STX Campuses.
  • What did you mean by note 3 above? Are "secret two-color cards" things like Shrouded Shepherd and Runic Shot? I'm interpreting your comment as you are going to either keep tri-lands, or reduce them and keep these cards that are meh with one color and pretty good with two.

Happy holidays to you too!
