Weld-Done
Cube ID
Art by Mark TedinMy quest to create a serviceable cube experience, in which everyone starts with a Goblin Welder in play.
Philosophical premises:
- Discovery is fun
- Playing with unorthodox cards creates novel situations
- Uncovering hidden interactions and utility is exciting
- "Sweet" combos are more enjoyable than "broken" combos
- Goblin Welder should matter, but should not generate massive card advantage
- No Wurmcoil Engine or Myr Battlesphere or Mindslaver or Ichor Wellspring here
- Artifacts that produce slow or expensive value, or can be combatted by an opposing welder, or that can't be cheated in by welder are allowed to be more powerful. Examples include Planar Bridge, Arcbound Overseer, Legacy Weapon
- As many cards as possible should be useful for multiple themes
- For the challenge in design, and for the simplicity of the ruleset, no added rules like "Welders can't die"
- Welders should generally stick around, so stay away from removal and sweepers that hit them (looking at you, Pithing Needle and Pith Driller)
