We had a blast though. I hope I'll have more time in 2026 to actually play the cube and test some stuff out.
Here's the list for reference: cubecobra.com/cube/list/pe...
(Note that at 385, it's hardly a 'travel' cube anymore, so I'll prob change the name and build an actual travel cube again)

Green cont.
I'll keep tinkering with green to see if there's a direction I like enough. It's not that green cards are bad, it's just that there's a lot of 'solid' going around that has a hard time going up against 1 mana removal and more powerful individual cards and synergies from other colors.

Green still hangs a little behind the power curve. It has less direction than the other colors and less cards/strategies that make people commit. Feedback after the draft was that people noticed that green was somewhat open but felt few incentive to go in.

Overall takeaways are that the balance is actually pretty good in the cube after I expanded the travel peasant #mtgcube to 385. Feedback after the draft was that it was challenging and fun and the gameplay was mostly close and felt powerful.

Losing team: RU aggro/tempo and 4c value/persist midrange went 2-1. Both are decks I'm very happy about seeing. The UW aggressive had a lot of resilient cards and game against all opponents, but in the end the lack of focus (and removal) made it go 0-3.

Winning team: UWb blink carried (3-0) as a very good board control deck. Bonus points for playing Aether Vial. Both the GBu ramp deck and UBG reanimate deck went 1-2 with some solid explosive draws but not enough resilience.

Aha. Well I don't have MTGO so I wasn't planning anything, just cool to watch!

Will watch! I had no idea it was on MTGO at this moment. Awesome.

Time Spiral is basically a cube as is with the amount of different stuff going on. Imagine peppering it with some outside cards it should be a banger.

I'll take Figure, hoping to maybe wheel Koth or a small white card. The other cards I was considering are Wrath and Steam Vents.

I'm a bit tired atm. Gimme Chain Lightning, I'll wheel either the monk or the Fireblast.

I love Parallax Wave. It's probably not the absolute best card the pack though.

That's what I assumed. It's also a fun card to play with. I love landcyclers and this one is so nostalgic as well

I picked Eternal Dragon because I know it will be good and I can't really gauge how good the rest is. I briefly considered taking the Karoo.

I remember Ajani being pretty good.

I've had the same reaction from some other sources, and also people completely disagreeing. Which is great news. Powerful card that gets people to argue? F YEAH

Bauble is good. There are a good number of artifact synergies in the cube.
