I have a peasant token cube and was considering slaughter the strong as it was downgraded but decided it was not needed. Then thought: but if i had a defenders theme it would be definitely fun! Very cool synergy indeed. I like your thinking with mentor of the meek etc to have cards that work with multiple archetypes: even as different as aggro and defender. And to prevent parasitism in a cube

Rielle, the Everwise is a great discard payoff in Izzet colors. Containment Construct is a great colorless discard payoff.

Do you think you'll do more of this sort of video? Would love to see the 8 other guilds

Great tips! I have an Ice Age block set cube, Mirage block set cube, Snow-themed cube, LOTR cube and a Bloomburrow cube with two more in the works (super vintage - anything before Ice Age and an Urza block set cube which is muy expensivo). The more fire your basic/nonbasic lands are, the more fire your cube is kids. Get feedback and cut out the junk that nobody is drafting.

I have used several of the cards you mentioned in my Cube and I never really thought about them the way you discussed. Thank You!

This set was insane for pauper cube. I'm running a tonne of cards and I'm pretty happy with how they play. -Thraben charm (almost unconditional removal) -jolted away -dog umbra (better pacifism that can also be protection) -Serum visionary -Retrofitted transmogrant -Accursed marauder -Refurbished familiar -Eviscerator's insight -Sarpadian simulacrum (1 drop goblin with haste that gives value in late game) -Molten gatekeeper -Squoa, embermage -Galvanic discharge (almost bolt) -Horrific assault (better pray upon) -Malevolent rumble -Collosal dreadmask (great in late game) -Sneaky snacker (not bad on rate, great with village rites effects and slow control finisher or chump blocker) -Cranial ram (narrow, but insane in the right deck) -Writhing chrysalis (does everything you want in gruul) Considering an eldrazi repurposer as well.

I also am trying out some of the living weapons to help boost artifact and voltron decks!

very comprehensive analysis of sacrifice theme archetype in Magic The Gathering cube building. I liked the discussion of enablers, payoffs, and fodder. Mayhem Devil, Blood Artist and Viscera Seer are some of my favorite cards in this archetype.

100 card command cube here; there’s definitely some value uncommons I’m happy for like Lilysplash Mentor and legends like Hugs are pretty fair for mine

Ral, Crackling Wit is build your own storm. It kind of sucks that storm is essentially just prowess spell singers at this point in non-power cubes, but I do like seeing "storm" literally printed on a card that helps both archetypes.

I’d be curious on how possible you think it would to make a bloomburrow themed cube? With support from other sets. The Redwall nostalgia is very much what is inspiring me.

great card designs! I’ve always wanted to design and create my own Magic The Gathering cards for my cubes to enhance existing mechanics and synergies.

great advice

Hey my name is mason too!

Yes I think this is a good commander because I am building a deck and it has been fun figuring it out

I’m personally really excited about running keen-eyed alongside ooze! Also very excited about mockingbird, shoreline looter, and Beza.

Nice to have a set that will not break my vintage cube budget after coming off the MH3 madness.

Narset doesn’t do anything to fetchlands 🤔, did you mean Ashiok?

I’ve recently finished building my first pauper cube, your videos are absolutely fantastic! Such great advice and overviews! Thanks

Great overview

Sick cube!! how have you found the Monarch cards to be? Ive left them out so far due to the fact that they seem kind of game breaking.

Badlands Revival made it into my cube. My cube's a new player friendly cube, with 4x each (C), 2x each (U), and 1x each (R/M), with 16 card packs (2R/M, 3U, 11C, where (C)s are 2x each color and then 1x colorless spell for signaling purposes). My BG archetype is reanimator, and Badlands Revival is great for this. (Back for More had "fight" which isn't a keyword action I want in my cube).

Great video! Some interesting thoughts. I totally agree with cards that are relavent in multiple decks.

12:34 am I missing something? Why is Narset good against/with fetch lands? Did you mean Ashiok? Or are you talking about the fixing for double blue? Narset doesn't interact with fetch lands.

Great designs!

Great video appreciate the cube content! I mostly do vintage cube. I like the direction the mtgo cube has went in recently where they are rotating some of the targeted archetypes/sub-archetypes in and out regularly like lands/twin combos/doomsday packages/ draw 7 punishers and tweaking artifact support level etc. while still maintaining the nostalgia (reanimator/ hard control/ red aggro/ mono white etc..) and to your point on the use case of interaction cards like ravenoua chupacabra i think it is getting more important to pay attention to those aspects and magic design has pushed to that effect in the last few years the text boxes are getting bigger and bigger and now there are alot of lands that are also spells ( boseiju/ ottawarra etc..) the evoke elementals cycle (grief, solitude etc.. and double faced card lands. Power creeeeeppp!! Thanks again foe the great content !

Do you mainly cube in person, online, or mainly as a thought exercise? Would love to see you do some hot takes by doing.a cube tier list.

Any advice for pauper cube? Do you have a video on the subject already?

Would you ever be interested in doing a cube review? I recently built a pauper/peasant cube of my own and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

Great video Mason!

sorry what does narset have to do with fetch lands? Because they thin out the deck?

Following up on this video, what are your thoughts on card density in relation to a cube's size and archetypes (i.e. how many cards of a specific archetype would you want for each supported archetype in a cube that mainly focuses on guild-style 2-color pairings)?

Good video.

Thanks for laying out all these thoughts! Definitely lots of good advice here, especially for less experienced cube curators.

Love this style of video, please teach me more, Senpai 🙏

Vintage cube is my favorite format, so glad to see some more content on it!

What a great video. I’m saving this for when I go to collect the MH3 cards for cube, thanks for the video!

Woot cube !!!!

Really random question, but at 7:16 there's this really beautiful ulamog art in the background, where'd you get this art from?

Love this series. I just completed my first ever pauper cube which I will be using to play battle box/danger room format. Loved whole cubebuilding process.

Woot pauper cube

Dang. Some of that AI art was pretty fire 🔥 though. Commercial art jobs are definitely in some trouble if that’s the quality you can get with AI tools these days. 🥲🥲

Great video. I will for sure use some of mentioned cards and tips. Btw what sleeves are you using for your pauper cube ? For some pauper cubes sleeves are worth more than cards itself

Thank you, this is the exact info I needed for angry cyclops

I'm going to try out Bristlebud Farmer!

Telepathy is funny af

I need to pick up a Psychic Trance just for the art.

4:35 Scarecrone can be used to draw a card and put itself back on the battlefield if the abilities are done in correct order. Just have to hold priority :)
