Pokémon Cube Builders Guide! (Pokemon TCG)

[@kokiritokanto4006]

The depth you go to in your videos is so helpful. Forget Top Deck Academy, I am getting a Masters at Omnipoke University with these presentations! :D I love your long-form videos and you've had a huge impact on my knowledge of the game, so, thank you!

[@ImposterOaksRevenge]

This is so helpful! I want to make a block cube focused on all the cards from sword/shield using my bulk (probably going to just leave out V's and VMax's). The ratios and descriptions were super helpful!

[@ebbandfloatzel]

I don't think I'll be able to do this for a while, but cubes/drafts are always some of my favorite formats. Just thinking of an idea of chucking archetypes around some of my favorite Pokémon sounds awesome!

[@justinmadrid8712]

Great informative video. I am going to be making a Pokemon cube from total scratch soon.

[@nickhem12]

This is perfect timing, I keep going back and forth on doing Vintage cube and a modern cube or just one large one. Thanks for updating this video!

[@ytsejam58]

I really want to make a cube for the platinum sets and then one for the hgss sets. Those are when I was most active in tcg and also I just love those cards so much

[@friendandboy]

The perfect video to come out in advance of my first IRL cube that I'll be hosting in the coming weeks, cheers!

[@OmniPoke]

Awesome what type of cube is it? :O good luck

[@friendandboy]

@@OmniPoke Thanks! My friends and I were most into the TCG in the early 2010s so it's a BW-on traditional cube with some added spice courtesy of some cards from more recent sets.

[@simplup6396]

Omnipoke cube videos really are the new meta, love it!!

[@OmniPoke]

Even more to come!

[@scizorzzz]

What do you think about having only the highest stage evolution in the draft and the rest of the line given for free when you get your basics. This is for a singleton cube of course so the lines aren't very consistent but you can get a lot of them and don't need to worry about all members of the evolution line being open.

[@OmniPoke]

Great for speeding up a draft process, it does take away some of the skill/jeopardy of balancing constancy with power and drafting open but it means pretty much everyone can have working decks!

[@JustCallMeQuentin]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been toying with building a cube for a while! Awesome content as always

[@goodqorn]

this is very helpful video. exactly the vibe I wanted. making a similar card game to Pokemon tcg and this helped in that process heaps. id love to see more videos on 2010 decks I find so good

[@bendegarmo8366]

Looking at building my first cube. For ease of sleeving and such, how many basic energy do you have on hand sleeved up and ready for grabbing?

[@danielsimmich1858]

Celebrations is a fun set for cubes since it has both Cleffa and Claydol in it plus other interesting older cards like Gardevoir, Gyrados etc. It makes me wish we got more reprints of old cards. But yeah, I ended up trading for a play set of Celebrations Claydol (plus one for binder) and accidentally pulled a play set of Cleffa so they are definitely going into a cube

[@OmniPoke]

love to see it! i'm picking up the luxrays and chomps for my sp 2 player cube

[@steven.d6492]

Hey Joe love the cube videos! Is there a main discord for Pokémon cube by any chance?

[@gorillaterrence]

I recently added the radiant Pokémon in my cube and made the rule you have to evolve into them (radiant charizard, radiant greninja for example) and its been pretty good!

[@OmniPoke]

im doing the same thing with venusaur in my traditional evolution cube! great shout :D

[@umiforce8152]

I just traded for the walrein in the thumbnail. Also this is exactly the type of video I needed today!

[@CoachEthanC]

Hey love your cube video (and your others too) keep it up!

[@nickhem12]

Are there adjusted numbers for stage 1 and 2 evo lines breakdown in relation to a 2 person 126 card cube. Using 6,5,4 and 5,4 puts you way over the recommended count for mons on the “shell” page and finding the right ratio pages. Using those numbers I feel like I’d have to do 264 or 360. I’m having trouble with the trainer count as well. Feel like I’m guessing on quantities for staples like gust, oak, energy search, poke ball, bill, etc.

[@OmniPoke]

2 person is a little trickier to make work with multiple stage 1/2 lines: I suggest you take a look at some of the 2 player cubes on cubekoga.net to get a feel for them- I’ve got an SP 2 player on there and I’m working on a Zoroark 2 player cube!

[@vincentv6815]

hmmm.. It'd be nice to have some sort of "list" of cards from more recent sets that are good for cube.. some of use just got into the hobby :(

[@OmniPoke]

Everything is dependant on what type of cube is being built, cubekoga would be a great place to get inspiration for individual cards

[@matthewl1187]

So I've been watching these videos on cube and it seems fun so I decided to give it a go and made a rough cube for my son and I to draft from. My main question is, is a 1-1-1 stage 2 line enough in the cube for a certain Pokemon seeing as how a key piece could be prized? Or should I insert a 2-2-2 line of all stage 2's I put in my cube to help keep pieces from being prized? I was trying to include a 2-2-2 line of all stage 2's but my resources are slim because I was working with what we've collected over the past year and a half. Also maybe I missed it but what size should the packs be when drafting for 2 players?

[@HabitusHealthTO]

loving the cube content! would love to see a XY cube vid

[@MrKillkong]

I was just wondering what storage box you'd recommend, I have a 480 card cube and my current 1000+ flip box is just too large. thank in advance!

[@SparkZ009]

So this is like Arena from hearthstone but with a limited, controlled pool? Sounds like a format that ptcg should have for years now ngl, having sort of a roguelike mode is always fun in card games for replayability.

[@eduardydearaujo9457]

I'm doing a cube with 15/3 prop format rule with BW and XY cards (no 2 prize cards).

[@trainerli]

Trying to test some cubes by printing proxies on cubekoga but they print out too small. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?? Thanks!

[@jr_fishing9287]

can you make a video about 2 vs 2 pokemon tcg games. how to play and what not.

[@OmniPoke]

Will be doing some 2 player pokemon cube discussion soon, we’ve got a zoroark cube and an sp cube that we are ironing out for duos

[@clemdelaclem]

One recommendation I have is to do the drafting face down, so neither player knows what is in the deck, and then have no single card that searches anything from the deck, the only way a card is allowed to interact with a deck is drawing off the top. That way each player has no idea what is in their deck, they have to rely on the current hand which can be quite interesting if the cube is balanced well enough. It makes every game even more unique and interactive since you can't use the same strategy twice in a row
