Hey everyone, Akaru's here to present to you the latest version of the Artifact Cube !

For a little bit of context, it's been a while since I first wondered about increasing the amount of fixing lands in the cube. While it wasn't really a problem for slow and grindy decks to find their color sources, aggro decks like Boros Equipment and Azorius Affinity could sometimes struggle in the first turns of the game to have their 2 colors on turn 2. It resulted in some non games, and that's not something I want, obviously. It was the occasion to balance the fixing between the color pairs with signets/talismans and the ones without, so here we have.

Boros, Golgari and Azorius (the aggro color pairs) get 4 fixing lands now, depending on the choices available and the gameplay patterns.
The 7 others color pairs have 2 fixing lands and 2 mana rocks.

Aetherdrift came with a lot of new artifact matters cards, and even if I wasn't able to fit every one of them in the cube, I tried to include the most interesting ones. Among the notable exceptions, I didn't include Radiant Lotus even though I was willing to give it a try, it is very likely to see the card in a near future to explore new strategies for combo (ramp, storm, etc).

Have fun with the 6.0, I'll be glad to read your feedbacks if you try it ! See you for the next update !

Big update to refresh the experience, give new toys to golgari and add new cards from last expansions:

  • New cards from Fallout.
  • More necrons to get back from the graveyard (ready to welcome chthonian nightmare in modern horizons 3).
  • Blightsteel comes back to say hi ! Enjoy it while it lasts.
  • New cards from Big Score and OTJ.
  • We say goodbye to some of the allstars of the cube, but we'll probably see them again in the future.

Happy cubing !
