After months of building, tuning, printing, and sleeving, my cube is finally done: Powers of Creation, a 1,000-card Commander cube.
It started as a Commander deck I called Holy War, a Mardu tokens-and-sacrifice deck full of angels, gods, and soldiers dying for a cause. Eventually the tinkering outgrew one 100-card deck, and this is what happened next.

The theme: a cosmic final war. The Heavenly Host, the Abyssal legions, primordial gods and elementals, the restless dead, and the mortal armies caught in the middle. Players are planeswalkers gathering the world's powers to their banner.

How it plays:
4 players, 5 packs each, take 2 cards per pick, 100 cards drafted per player
Every pack is seeded: one card of each color, a multicolor card, one of each card type, two fixing lands, two commanders, and five wildcards — so no pack is ever a dud for your colors
Standard Commander rules with a few twists: any two 1–2 color commanders can partner (up to 3 colors total), drafted cards can go in your deck regardless of color identity (your basics still have to match your commander), and a Texas mulligan (draw 10, keep 7).

The entire thing has been proxied on photo paper, laminated and then cut out. I had to sell off a majority of my collection to pay for bills, so this was cathartic to include the power 9 in a way haha.

Hope you enjoy the list!

Hello everyone!

I started off a few years ago as a commander player, fell in love with the game quickly. Brewing decks was always my favorite part. I would always try and bring something to the table that was unique, and had some kind of gimmick.

My favorite deck I ever assembled was helmed by [[Caesar, Legion's Emperor]] that was a token-aristocrat deck full of angel, gods and demons. I was always tweaking it, and never satisfied with only having 100 cards when there was always something new and thematic I could slot in. It wasn’t always about optimized winning.

I tried making a complain style deck with different colors but it just never stuck. I decided to dip my toe into building a cube and this is what I’ve come up with.

I have sold off all my cards and plan on proxying out the entirety of this. So why not go for favorite prints and the power 9?

I can’t say that I know for sure if it’s well built, or functions amazing as I haven’t had the pleasure of fully testing it with friends. But I’d like some blind opinions from the community. I still have to develop an archetypes section to help drafters find some lines.

The Conquest of All Realms

Only 1 VHS was in the lot, the rest are all Betamax. Some are even sealed! I think I lucked out at only $1/each. Bonus points for being found in the Binghamton area!

Before anyone asks, yes, I do have a Betamax player to play them.

I have an affinity for vintage and obsolete media and this was the one I always wanted.

I have a Sony SL-HF400 and noticed these horizontal lines during playback. I cleaned the head but they’re still there. Tried different tapes. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
