The Magic Show #61 - Gleaming the Cube

In this episode I revisit the Cube, aka the Ultimate Draft Format. 50 of the best cards in each color, lands, artifacts, and 60 multicolor (5 of each color combination, 10 of each 3-color combination). I also go over the latest spoilers from Lorwyn and this week you get to submit your Invitational card idea!

I am currently assembling the cube and I have some questions about your list- Shouldnt echoing decay be out for last gasp? there are no doubles... Shattering pulse out for shattering spree? Glory seems weak. Out for Griffin Guide?

I dont see why grim monilith is on the list without voltaic key. Aether spellbomb out for it? Possibly u should include Aethermages touch too, seems like it would be cool.. :)

I agree, Last Gasp is probably better than Echoing Decay. The only thing was that I wanted to keep an answer to Rude Awakening in the cube. Glory IS weak, but remember, there is a 25 creature/25 spell balance in all colors but Green and Blue. Replacing a creature with an enchantment unevens the balance.

Grim Monolith is probably a holdover since we removed Key. It could be replaced with a variety of good artifacts.

your show needs more of that guy who introduced the repeatable cards. He's the best guest I've ever seen on the magic show. I say bring him back.

Can you be more specific? Episode #?

[Gregandthensome]

Who is the opening song by? You usually credit the music in your article, but this time you didn't.

[mrorangeguy]

It's "Raw" by the band Scanners. Good record! :)

[Xuyah]

I built my own cube and it's the most amazing thing I have ever done before

[keyes53ljh]

the last part the very special outtake was freakin hilarious

[Zookmottin]

60 gold cards? way to many, how can you say you want your 15th card to wow you when you over load what is in essence the easiest section to over flood and dilute with power.

[cbielling]

PLEASE do another episode about the cube. Maybe do some cube match coverages like you do with some of the pro tours? Thanks!
