Cube

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

So the final idea is everyone submit the following amounts of cards to [e-mail], he will then print them out, we should all probably contribute towards sleeving the beast.

6 cards of each colour
5 multicoloured cards (inc hybrids)
5 artifacts
5 lands
1 wildcard

 

I would also like idea's at to the best way to evolve the cube?

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

obv 1 copy of a card per person, you could even go so far as to offer trades - for instance each player has to submit say 9 cards of each colour but I have 5 blue cards so can trade my last 4 to someone for 5 black cards?

Just an idea?

[Simon O'Keeffe]

Hmm, trades might overcomplicate it a little to begin with, but if the majority are in favour I'll certainly go with it.

How about the following breakdown:

7 cards of each colour
5 multicoloured cards (inc hybrids)
5 artifacts
5 lands
1 wildcard

This is 45 cards per person. As Louis suggested we may need to up this if we are keeping the entire cube as highlander or we could go ahead and just let the dupes exist for the first iteration.

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

I think we should let there be duplicates to be honest, as stated if it is to be a constatly evolving cube then there will be options for change. 

Simon I like your colour splits, the reason I proposed the trades is to get you architype a proper chance if for instance you wanted to do something specific

Have wizards printed 45 different 2/3 flyers?

[Philip Dickinson]

76 according to gatherer!

[Louis Mackie]

That includes a bunch of reach creatures etc - there seems to be around 55

so what's the exact plan then?

[Simon O'Keeffe]

Well if people are happy to come up with their lists of 45 cards, I'm happy to collate them all, and can probably organising printing them via Baker's proxy generator.

Send them to [e-mail] and please try to spell the card names correctly and in full so I can just paste them in.

If people want I can then reveal the full cube contents prior to assembly in case there are any issues.

Champs is on at TGC this weekend as well. It would be pretty sweet to have this ready for that - then I could just ignore the events and cube all day. That wouldn't be much time to get the cards sorted though.

[Simon O'Keeffe]

I think I have my 45 already, but I do need to look it over for casting cost and spell/creature balance.

Might be tough for me to get to TGC early on Saturday as my wife is flying out to Asia that day so I'll probably be needed until the afternoon.

not planning on heading up to be honest, I am planning on drinking heavily and watching the rugby.  I should be able to get my cards to you within a couple of days simon
