MtG: I'm making a pauper cube.

[Dana_Tillusz]

Sounds cool. And simple enough that I could even play. 

[Tempest]

Yeah, I'm hoping to test it out soon. I think I just have my mirrodin, rav, tempest and zendikar to go through. I'm contemplating whether or not I should have the common slivers in there. I could make a cube just from rav block cards. Such a good set, looking back on it for limited purposes. In any case, I'll post up some of what I've got so far. One thing I noticed so far is that I really seem to have a soft spot for enchantments that turn guys into pingers, so forgive me in advance for that ;p Also, they won't all be listed, but I do plan on having all the bouncelands and all the signets from Rav. Another thing I wasn't sure of when picking up multi-coloured cards was whether or not to include 3-coloured ones. I *think* the way its going so far a two-colour deck would be optimal, but there isn't a lot of support for 3 colours, but I could be wrong.

Okay, I'm in the process of cutting stuff. Gonna see if I can cut every colour, including multi-colour and artifact cards down to 50 each. 70 was a hard enough number to get down to; I ended up pretty much copying someone else's list, or at least, parts of it. I value lots of cards too high I guess. I have 40 lands right now, which might be a bit much. I'll post up each colour as I edit it. Looks like multi-colour is going to be 75 cards. I was trying to get 10 cards of each ally-coloured pair, and 5 cards of each non-allied coloured pair, but some are a bit higher while others are a bit lower. I think UB has the most with 12 while UR has the least with 3. That's not counting cards with kicker or similar effects.

[Tempest]

Alright, I'll continue to edit the list, but I'm pretty much done. Just need to start whittling it down now.

[Tempest]

Okay, I'ma gonna keep the final list a super secret for right now, because it's so terrible. That being said, anyone feel like getting together to test it out? Maybe Tuesday?

[Tempest]

 

The culling has begun, as noted above. Going to try and have it done by tonight, not that we'll have the chance to use it, but anyways...

[Tempest]

Okay, Final bump. There it is. 515 cards total. Done. That is, until it actually gets tested.
