[[Knuckles the Echidna]], the ugliest MtG card ever created*, re-imagined as a denizen of an Australian-themed region of Bloomburrow.

I was so thrilled to find this gorgeous art! I had given up on finding an illustration of an echidna that wasn’t Sonic the Hedgehog fanart and I was preparing to draw my own artwork, when I finally stumbled upon this perfect image while searching for reference photos of echidnas. (My search phrase was “echidna scientific illustration” and I don’t know why that worked.)

Borderless and regular frame versions with bleed (the extra margin needed for printing). Versions without bleed can be found in my reskin gallery: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/LinsReskinGallery

*I used to think the ugliest card was [[Gau, Feral Youth]], but Knuckles stole the title. Don’t worry, Gau, you still have the worst flavor text.

I run her in my cube, was wondering why her elo is so bad? She is the second lowest elo card I run only after [[Arwen, Mortal Queen]], which I swere the elo is completly whack wrong on. Is it mainly about the three colour requirement, or do you think there is something that stands out that makes the card itself bad? Ability is strong for what I can tell, and 3/3 at 4 cmc isn't the worst thing in the world (becomes 4/4 upon first attack too, and just keeps growing). Would it be "fixed" by removing the blue requirement? Does it need to be "fixed"?

I need help with balancing in the draft AI tests on cube cobra have Black/Green Blue/Black Red/Black as the top color and White is down as a whole how should I balance it or is this okay any suggestions or constructive criticism is highly appreciated.

My four-year-old daughter Josephine made me this card for my cube yesterday, after she saw me reorganizing cards from the draft the day before. She told me this is called “Jo Jo’s Week.” When I asked what it did, she said that it “Makes people think of her.” So there you have it. Eat your heart out, r/custommagic.

Good luck!!

What does going from 4/2/1 to 6/2/1 achieve? I'm obviously not great with stats, but doesn't adding two more of each common keep the odds the same?

If no other reason, I'm thinking of upping the commons just so I can build more packs. Right now when I'm done building packs I still have a huge pile of rares and mythics left over after I run out of commons.

Almost done with my cube updates, but I'm a bit stuck on this one. My cube is Max Power level, or close to it, with both [[Time Vault]] combo and [[Dark Depths]] combo included. (Yes, Dark Depths is not quite on the same tier, but it's sticking for now). I currently have Mirage Mirror in the cube, but I am considering swapping it for Shifting Woodland, since both of these cards combo with both Vault and Depths.

Other relevant combo pieces include [[Thespian's Stage]], [[Tezzeret, Cruel Captain]], and [[Manifold Key]]. I don't really have a delirium theme in the cube, but most of the good graveyard enablers that are common are present, similar to most cubes at this power level.

Potentially irrelevant note: Woodland would be my 4th green utility land, behind [[Gaea's Cradle]], [[Boseiju, Who Endures]], and the new [[Ba Sing Se]], which is there for [[Strip Mine]] shenanigans.

Which combo piece would you include, Shifting Woodland or Mirage Mirror?

Hello!

I just moved to the Bay Area (specifically the north bay/ Marin) and was interested in potentially doing some cubing. Are there any groups that are currently out here? Been cubing for several years and just looking to keep on crackin cube packs.

Seven of us got together yesterday in my dining room in south central Connecticut to draft my cube and drink my whiskey.

To nobody's surprise, I ended up on my beloved Sneak & Recur. I p1p1'ed Archon over Phlage and Pyrogoyph, as a matter of personal preference. The big mean flyer showed up in all my games as I went 3-0, 6-0 with some lucky draws. After Captain Archon, the MVP was [[Charming Scoundrel]], who ramped into my 6s or binned Archon, and then provided sac fodder for Nightmare to recur Archon. If you're not already running this awesome utility two drop, definitely give her consideration.

During the draft, I experienced a classic power creep moment. I had to decide between [[Etali, Primal Conqueror]] and [[Barrowgoyf]]. Etali would have been nuts in my cheaty deck, of course, but he's merely the reward for doing the thing. Whereas Barrowgoyph both does the thing and rewards you for doing the thing. Crazy card. Total bomb.

Shredder and Cecil only made my list because I waffled in pack 1 after getting a 4th pick Gaak, and grabbed some green dudes over red utility guys before realizing that green wasn't actually open. And as u/mikez4nder always says, take the [[Thoughtseize]]. Easy p2p2 for me.

One last note, and speaking of cards you should never pass: Strip Mine. I will never pass it, short of needing a specific combo piece. Draft the Strip and "enjoy" the 1-2 games it singlehandedly wins when you shut off half the opponent's mana for a stretch of the game. My poor buddy Robin lost his only mountain in our first game and that was all she wrote. Even without a Crucible effect, Strip remains utterly disgusting. It's the card in my cube that I hate the most lol

Not pictured: Azorius artifacts with Urza/Worb, Abzan good stuff, and a suuuuuuuuper spicy Flash/Bazar/Reanimate/Atraxa build that I sadly did not get to play against.
