Present Cube List: April 2013
I have been bulking out the cube for a while now, adding in more gold card, planeswalkers and mid to top end threats. This is to make it better for drafting with and it has a much closer feel to the Magic Online cube as a result. This means the cube is far closer to its upper cap of 720 cards, although I haven't bothered to counted it. Usually I do a list of what has gone in and out of the cube but I have been very disorganized and somewhat confused by the latest block. As the guilds have come out in patches and the various mechanics follow through to the last set it has been very hard to get a nice balance of cards. Gold cards are always the hardest to determine if they get a slot in the A cube, lots of the RtR block gold cards seem worthy but if you pack too much gold in your cube you will make drafting worse. I have been building loads of bad quirky decks to get some play time with the newer cards and thrown in all sorts of awful things that leave the cube right away again. So much has gone in and out of the cube on a regular basis since RtR and I doubt that will settle till a little while after Dragonmaze. All that is to say this isn't going to have an in-out list as it is fairly meaningless, you can work out what has changed by looking at the last cube list in the blog but it won't have any real context to gain any insight from.
There are still a bunch of cards in my A cube, both high powered ones with no real homes at the moment and some low power quirky potential cards, that are all from the latest block and that have not yet secured a permanent slot. These cards I am still testing are listed at the bottom but I suspect that the large majority of them won't stand the test of time.
