What a brilliant guide. I've been struggling with the ratios for the archetypes a lot in my Zendikar cube over the last years. Now I finally have a great guide and a skeleton that works. Can't wait to see the next videos of this series!
This series is so so soooo helpful dude. Arguably the best cube building resource out there. Ive previously had trouble with what you call, parasitic strategies. When drafting, it was easy to just pick your guild and draft the same decks every time with levels of success. This is helping me make the guilds merge together better so the game is more dynamic. A+ Keep up the awesome videos!
Much love my dude, in the process of building my first “legit” cube and this series has been a solid guide. Thankfully I have a decent collection and only had to spend a little bit to complete it!
Yeah having a good collection helps a lot. When I started my cube a few years ago I could basically start it from what I had and work from there. But of course it didn't stop there ;)
My favourite video series of all time! I think I’ll start evolving my cube into this, the archetypes seem fun and balanced. I own a 360 cube but it’s just a pile of the best cards I own, and it’s sometimes frustrating to draft because a lot of the archetypes I would love don’t work really well. So I think I’ll start collecting cards to build this cube, and I would love to tell you my impression after a few drafts, in some distant future!
That's great praise thanks! It's very easy to start with a good stuff pile, and especially the mtgo cubes are like that. If you have unlimited budget that's not so bad: because many of the most powerful cube cards lend themselves to be used in different ways. But having some more or less linear strategies is nice to give players some direction and you can turn that dial to very linear, to just light archetype enablers.
@@mtgcubetube Yeah you’re right! I’m a former Legacy player so I had a lot of good stuff cards (also reanimator cards) but then my cube is too much unbalanced towards the archetypes that were in my Legacy decks and I don’t like this. So I was considering to restart my cube again, and your video series is very useful to convince me that powerful strategies are better than raw power PS I think you forgot to add the izzet collection to cubecobra
Wow this series is great. I'm building my first cube, and it's a mostly peasant cube with rare payoffs, focusing on 5 color combos but also hopefully the other 5 have playable decks, though they're less synergistic, and I'm trying to balance synergy with "pile of cards" (which i hope is still a good strategy). This has been really helpful. Thank you!
After watching the first three videos, the cube is very light on one drops so far. Really enjoying this series. You are providing the perfect amount of depth in explaining your decision making processes. I would love to see this style of series for a tribal cube and a cost does not matter cube.
Thanks, and you're definitely right on the one drops. It's hard to find one drops that are archetype specific, but I tried to include them where possible (Usher of the Fallen is a great gift from Kaldheim for the Boros tokens deck). In the last episode I will check up on curve and address this where necessary.
I love cube content, videos like this help me evaluate my cube and find cards to work better with different strategies. Green blue feels like it needs some help so I look forward to seeing your video on it.
@@mtgcubetube I've been making a cube similar to this one and I've gone for a "miracle grow" theme for Simic. Basically creatures that get bigger just by you playing magic, things like Tireless Tracker, Managorger Hydra, Nadir Kraken, Pteramander etc. These can also cross pollinate in other strategies like Pteramander and thing in the ice in the spells deck, scavenging Ooze and tireless tracker in the counters deck etc etc. Basically you play cards that grow without much outside investment and protect them with counterspells and things like vines of Vastwood. It's more interesting than the generic simic ramp piles I normally see imo.
This is a great series! I''m really looking forward to seeing what direction you'll take Simic. Would love to see a card-draw strategy around Overbeing of Myth and Lorescale Coatl
Thank you so much for this series, it has been very helpful to me and my cube designing! I know you aren’t even done with this series but I wanted to throw out an idea. Reviewing how well established cubes work/are structured could be helpful to boost understanding of potentially less color balanced cubes like the Vintage cube. I would love to see a vintage cube design/strategy review personally. Just a thought! Thanks again!
Hey Mr Cube tutor i am really big fan tbh Of your series I think it is the best on cube making and im thankfull for your help as I am building my own cube now I just wish you had more videos Becuase I watched them all in a day :3
@@mtgcubetube I understand that Im not saying your not working hard these videos are very infomative and really nice and easy to understand . I was just sad there wasent more content but Im excited for more videos
Nice vid as always. I use Jinxed idol in my cube for the sac archetype which I believe i worth mentionning. That's a good enabler which can become a treat by itself and it's also beneficial to every token producer. That's also fun to use actually
I am enjoying this series a lot.
I'm glad!

Thanks and I hope your cube benefits from it. The next video is (finally) uploading.

Really enjoy your cube videos!
Thanks a lot, next one coming soon (uploading even)!
This content is TOP NOTCH

I still haven't figured out what UG should be to be honest 😆
@@mtgcubetube honestly mine is a mix of counters and ramping into big creatures. Probably not the best choice though
Yeah counters and ramp is what those colours are good at, but it's nice to find something more specific. I'll come up with something :)
@@mtgcubetube well whatever strategy you choose I’m sure it will be a solid strategy

Hey Vernon, in the end I went with Simic + Gruul = Ramp, and then have 5 smaller synergy packages within those guilds. I'm uploading the video now.
@@mtgcubetube Radical! I'm watching your new video now and loving it

I have binged all of this, when is the next one?! I needs it
Hi and thanks. My plan was last weekend, but it got delayed. Maybe coming weekend, else soon after!
@@mtgcubetube great! Can’t wait!!!! You’ve inspired me to start my first cube!

Hey thanks Ryan and I'm doing my best to get this series finished. They take a lot of time. After that I'll try to be more prolific :)
@@mtgcubetube I understand that Im not saying your not working hard these videos are very infomative and really nice and easy to understand . I was just sad there wasent more content but Im excited for more videos
I love this series. Any ETA on when the next episodes are coming? :)
I'm uploading #4 right now, and hopefully the last episode won't take very long ;)
Yessssss part three!
I took my time 😆
Nice vid as always. I use Jinxed idol in my cube for the sac archetype which I believe i worth mentionning. That's a good enabler which can become a treat by itself and it's also beneficial to every token producer. That's also fun to use actually
I vaguely remembered that card but had to indeed look it up. I will consider it for the artifact pile. Definitely a fun one if not the most powerful.
This is great!
Thanks! I'm finally uploading part 4 and started working on part 5.
Nice babe!
Thanks babe!
