You have made a beautiful piece of a cube. I instantly fell in love with it. Feel like a fresh air relief, Away from combo and powered cubes. I'll gather my pauper cards to make one homage to yours. 💕

So it’s like omniscience draft but like slower and you share one deck

Oh wow. I just searched for “Tarkir cube” so I could make one in order to relive my time in China, moving in with my girlfriend, now wife, etc. Wild coincidence! Hope you’re still drafting, brother!

I want to hear about this but the elevator music kills it.

This format looks sick! Definitely going to be building this!

Sounds a bit like a Hearthstone player tried a Magic tournament and got upset over mana screw and pay-to-win. Fun concept, still.

every year it feels more like a card museum and less powerful

Currently in the process of making a Kaldheim set themed Battlebox. With a few other snow/Viking themed cards sprinkled in. My list is currently at 300 cards (not singleton) and I’m really excited to start playing it!

Website is down but hopefully it will be back up soon

I really want to get into the format, but mtgbattlebox removed the website. Do you have any other resources to look into?

I have been playing battlebox with a common/uncommon selection for 3 years now. We found that the draw a land a turn made for uninteresting games - where you ended up just ramping consistently to 11 mana. This lead to us adopting the ollowing rules: 1. each player gets a land pack containing 1 basic of each type, 1 of each of the M10 check lands (Glacial fortress, etc.) , and a wastes for those spells which require actual colourless mana. 2. you draw 6 cards and then put 2 on top or bottom of library. Then you add 3 lands from your land pack of your choice to match your opening hand. 3. each draw step you either draw from your library, or choose another land from your land pile to draw. This makes for a game which plays a lot like conventional magic, without the auto ramp feature of traditional battle box.

Can I have your battle box card list?

Nice!

Thanks for having me on :)

Production quality went skyrocketing lately! I'm really digging the thematic introduction to the cubes flavor. I've never designed or drafted around flavor and May's cube really scratches that itch and even fits my budget. Thanks for featuring it :)

Thanks for the draft and the coverage! I'll go over a few of your notes for you and the viewers. Mimic and the automaton aren't in here for sake of price and power. They sit a little too high above the other changelings for me to include them. elementals I've considered and it does have a lot of fables related to them. The issue with them is that I already heavily support 7 tribes and 5 classes. Keeping the tribes more narrow makes it easier to control the overlap. The normal taplands are more meant to diversify the the lands aesthetically. It already happens a few time where the same lands come up in the same round. It can get pretty stale visually! Plus they act as a learning tool for the newer players who pick up my cube for the first time. I appreciate the notes and I'm sorry that the list was already outdated by the time you uploaded lmfao! Makes me want to put siege gang back in and keep wren's run.

I also have to say that LSV's drafts of this Cube are one of best pieces of MTG content on RUclips. He goes really deep on some strategies I would never think of. 4-color manabases and seemingly unconnected cards come together to create real Magic. He made me realize that outside of the well known archetypes there are combos between specific cards. A whole neural network to be pulled from one card at a time.

Nice vid. I share a lot of views presented here. When looking for Cube inspiration I'm a little disappointed that many of the popular Cubes are very similar to Vintage Cube. Using only the strongest cards feels very limiting. For me Cube is an occasion to use less popular cards and show they can be used in interesting ways. I've played Vintage Cube a few times and I dislike that it's too explosive sometimes. Turn 2 Channel into Emrakul ruins the game even if it happens only from time to time. I've read that in game design such things shouldn't happen.

Great history, fantastic production. Looking forward to more :D

1 drop cube sounds like a fun restriction. Kinda sad I didn't see flaxen intruder though. That adventure would be a house here.

these are a lot of good points. I think it's important to support synergies outside of aggro/ turning creatures sideways, although I'm.not sure that two spellbombs really do all that. Would have to actually play to figure that out. One of the lessons I've learned from designing pauper cubes, whichinevitably play out on the battlefield, is that instants and specifically combat tricks are vital to keep attacking and blocking interesting. Before moving in that direction sometimes it felt like you had a 2/2 staring down your opponent's 3/3 and all you could do is hope for a 4/4 or doom blade. Prowess goes really well with combat tricks as well. Easy to answer as well!

the link to your cubecobra is a 404 at the moment

I've drafted this cube myself and left with a 4 color deck lol. There are some cool design decisions. The power differential is definitely apparent unfortunately. I think 2 color decks could probably be strong as well. It's nice that there are a few ways to try to "solve" it though.

Hey I am really enjoying going through your cube showcases. I've been designing cubes for 6 years now and would love to discuss to format with you and get the word out there. I first found you after you followed my 1v1 jumpstart EDH list on cobra. have you considered maybe doing an interview-type format to showcase cubes/designers? E.g. I believe two player cube formats are underrated and remastered set cubes are gems still waiting to be discovered. Either way I'm always down to talk about cube and am looking forward to more content!

My only gripe would be that the power level is too dynamic for my taste. The sultai overview is a great example of where I find that your cards are too different in power level. Muldrotha or Gudul Abomination... not really a difficult choice Maybe the 'Ok card' section could represent a different approach to the sultai archetype with another powerful signpost?

I really dig the cube overview! I was wondering if playing two-color decks is intended in the environment?

Really cool video, you deserve more views

this is an instant-build for me! thanks for showcasing it

Great stuff! 1:13 - 2:20 had me wondering where the retweet button is on RUclips haha :D

Great job covering the concerns of the vintage cube. Accessibility and it's dominant effect on how people see cubes can't be stated enough. Keep up the great work

I would like to see a major overhaul of the storm archetype in the MTGO Vintage cube.

Great message! I appreciate your voice audio quality with paring of the background music. I didn't think to look at the change history from Cube Cobra to see how the MTGO Vintage Cube has changed over the year. And I would love to see the MTGO Vintage Cube drafted at the highest levels. The MOCS event from last year that was broadcast and casted was so awesome to watch!

Seems likea great way to get some quick games in (a lot like battlebox). Also seems instense!

Your vids are so high quality. This is good cube content! I hope your channel grows and more people see you!

This cube looks awesome! I don't know for sure, but my guess as to why Relic of Progenitus, Scavenging Ooze, and Deathrite Shaman aren't here is because they're too harsh on the graveyard. Scrabbling Claws messes with the graveyard, but it doesn't shut it down completely like those other effects!

Great video, I could really use it to grasp the essence of this Cube. The Cube looks really solid too, no wonder it will be featured on Cubecon. I've also thought about creating a Colorless Cube, but think this restriction is too much. However I have pretty solid plans for Multicolored vs Monocolor Cube.

Thanks!!! I m going to try to create a battlebox

I love this concept. 1 drops are always my favorite creatures so a whole cube devoted to them sounds amazing.

Nice video. To be honest I've never heard of this before. When I saw the title I thought it would be a format where you have a box of ready decks which create good gameplay with each other.

Ayo thts mr E

One of my friends had the idea of creating a Kamigawa Neon Dynasty battlebox and I thought that was a great idea!

Thanks so much for the shout out!

it would be so cool if they had a way to paly MTG vr where the cards came alive

Great video

It’s a great cube to draft(it’s my friends cube)!

What an interesting idea for cube! I also like that the Talismans are in for fixing.

Loved the intro monologue and garnered interest to play this cube.

I got a question about big deck draft while playing that i had a scenerio where a land taps sacs or you can get a land card from the deck to your hand how do you stop a player from like tutor something out to there hand in this form because the other cards like doom blade can be played as lands in this draft since limited or no lands are in the pool I know if a correct target would be in the pool say a basicland then the player would have to do that but what if it is not in the deck and you only have a llanwar elve say for the forrest you have to pick a forrest for the said card. can they tutor like this in this format because the cards can be played both as lands and the card? or are they only consider lands inside your hand?

Nice video. I slept through Khans and then I regreted it. A Cube like this is a good way to go back to the past. I like the mention of Burning Oil working against Dash and Raid. While talking about Cubes people often mention synergy but this is more of an interaction (don't know if this makes sense).
