Wheeler's New Years Cube || Friday Night Paper Fight 2024-01-05

[@Nonregional]

It’s probably bad SEO to bury the lede, but I enjoy this trend where Wheeler’s cubes will have a surprise reveal when drafting begins.

[@impishrunt]

I adore unique cubes like this. Far and away my favourite sort of show you all do. Huge appreciation to Wheeler for the fantastic design work.

[@LokNWykLeer]

I kinda liked having everyone being at the table all the time. It was an interesting energy!

[@mattperkinson9604]

Looking forward to the 2-drop cube in either February or 2025

[@violetto3219]

how many 12 mana cards could there possibly be for December

[@kingfuzzy2]

​@@violetto3219more than the other higher cmcs

[@Defender-hi3vb]

@@kingfuzzy2 Scryfall says 13 12-drops, 14 11-drops, and 44 10-drops, so there are less 12 drops than 11, although 11 counts a meld and an aftermath card and there are none of those in 12 although most have cost-reduction mechanics

[@freeflow14]

@@violetto3219 Possible workaround, build a cube where at end, players may add one of the 13 12 mana cards to their deck as a companion. If a player would win the game, if they haven't cast their "companion" they lose the game instead.

[@jgmweston]

Great surprise for a Sunday afternoon!

[@moonsmoocher]

This one had kind of manic energy that I think matched the energy of the cube itself. Really liked this one. Wheeler talking here and there about the cube did more to sell me on the idea of making my own cube than anything in a long time. Just sounds fun, you know?

[@MemoryLaneWizard]

This cube was awesome! Thanks Wheeler from brining it for this stream

[@seandun7083]

I would be interested in seeing if there are enough relevant cards and mechanics for a cube where you cannot cast cards from your hand. Forecast, suspend, cycling, unearth, foretell, flashback, etc.

[@sandmanlives3]

Excellent, as always. Thank you. This cube looks awesome! 1:58:23 As far as I know the ‘trick’ with Thawing Glaciers is the activate it then return it with a Karoo land.

[@lewkycharmes]

I have already made this Cube and going to play it on Sunday, I cannot wait. Thanks for being awesome! /hugehugs

What a cool cube idea

[@JohnSmith-p6g]

Actually there is one-drop-player-deathtouch in the form of vorpal sword

[@julienfrey8070]

Would love to see this cube again. Maybe drafted with 6 or 8 people

[@timothyhartel3480]

So freaking cool. Great content, thank you wheeler and everyone else

[@asteros6387]

in honour of the return of friday nights, you should build an in paper version of the strictly worse cube, and draft that (although maybe not to the same degree of god awful)

[@matthewloser7567]

I think they need to make it as bad as possible. Its the Strictly Worse Cube. By name alone it must be the worst version of any effect.

[@keylometers6342]

I think they've talked about this before and the problem is that the strictly worse cube is only funny in theory and in reality is just a really boring draft

[@kilo3989]

@@keylometers6342 Valid. What if Strictly Worse Back Draft though?

[@NStripleseven]

What an odd draft environment

[@kingfuzzy2]

I is an odd number but I still disagree with it being an odd draft format like chaos cube or an oddly specific aggro cube

[@Wrestlemania24444]

Why do you need to sandbag Striple's joke? Why do you have so much hate in your heart? @@kingfuzzy2

[@kingfuzzy2]

@@Wrestlemania24444 didn't think it was a joke so I turned it into one because I liked where the above commenter was going. Emotions are subjective so, doesn't matter if I say I'm usually a honest caring person.

This cube rules. I've been looking for a cool cube stipulation and this one is right up my alley.

[@RobertR3843]

Can't wait for the return of Friday nights! Yes!!

[@johncameron1935]

"It puts the land into play tapped!" "Or else it gets the hose again." I can't, the LRR banter is on another level

[@terryjohnson8261]

I live in Chicago and will be all over the Con, I really hope to run into this this cube! :D

[@Timbobs]

Wellp, guess I’m building a cube too. This looks like fun 🤷😄

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

If you have a solid group of people to play with, cubes are great.

[@matthewcolyer6797]

This cube looks sweet! Definitely going to adopt this one and do some tinkering.

[@kobylong605]

1:31:14 he obviously didn’t mean to do it but watching Graham shuffling and putting ochre jelly on bottom over and over amused me very much 😂

"Ours release serotonin. Theirs release carbon dioxide." would be an amazing button.

[@Cookie_Nova]

[@brownk31th46]

A new cube draft VoD from LRR? Well I know where my next 3 hours are going!!

[@SailorwaveII]

"increment the crab" has entered my lexicon

[@ElDocBruh]

I'm happy to see Wheeler running the Strength-testing Hammer. I run it in commander in Ghazghkull and it's just fun.

[@EmmettMcMullan]

I'm definitely gonna proxy this cube to give it a try with my brothers

[@lupocremisi]

I made my first cube. It's a 7th edition set cube. That was my first set of magic so definitely a nostalgia project

[@17klop]

I made a 1 mana cube a couple of years ago but it was specifically ment to be drafted by 4 people. Lands were the hardest part to fill but I went with lands that had mana sinks.

[@gamerbear84]

Cubing rocks. Really been liking my Mono Black mini-cube. Wish I had more chances to draft it, but I'm so bad about taking a bus and spending like two hours just on getting to the and from the LGS.

[@WildMageMadness]

I built a whole Pauper Commander Deck around Hero of Leina Tower, that card is so fun

[@DarkLadyMarie]

I'll have you know Nell that Pitching DOES do unholy things to the body. My brother was a pitcher and had multiple shoulder surgeries by 20 that eventually caused him to drop the sport. Its incredibly taxing and fucked up on the body

[@adamreed2088]

I love this cube

How did you go about randomizing the draft packs? One big pile shuffle or something more convoluted?

[@bwheelermtg]

Big shuffle

[@finnthpjac3457]

If Wheeler does bring this cube to Chicago I want in on it.

[@labguy9797]

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

Nothing beat the experience of me looking at the one drops not reading the name of the cube, scrolling down to find some 2 drops figuring out what this cube was gonna be 😂😂

[@JJMickeyMedia]

Thanks!

[@ZephyrKelsey]

I had this idea a few years ago but I didn’t pursue it because I thought it wouldn’t be very interesting or balanced, I was wrong. This is great!

32:35 It's funny because the woman telling the story was from Australia, but Australia was colonized by Britain for use as a prison colony.

[@jacefairis1289]

re: forecast - I like Pride of the Clouds in my flying men deck! not because of its forecast ability, mind you, but!

[@schwarzertee7586]

How about a not-so-monocolor cube? Here is the idea: You pick one color. At deckbuilding, players only can pick basics that produce that color. (Let's say white for example) so players can only play plains. Now you spice the cube with hybrid mana symbols and creatures that have activated and triggered abilities that need any mana but white. you sprinkle in maybe basics of other colors to draft, or actual mana fixing. Just a splitsecond idea, I can't build cubes, I'm too stupid.

[@bencoyne7800]

Does anyone have a link to the 2-player 6 drops cube?

[@jakefromkc8739]

What kind of sleeves are those? The cards look so good on camera!

Wheeler singing Have a nice life 😍 this got me as hype as the Neutral Milk Hotel reference many videos ago

[@sergiodelatorre9127]

So, how does strength-testing hammer work against removals?

[@john-tc8xd]

it was decided that if the trigger goes on the stack and the creature is removed, it goes off of last known info (doesn’t add the die roll)

[@sergiodelatorre9127]

@@john-tc8xd oh and is that correct? because it feels wrong but I just wanted to double check and understand it for later.

[@Luiginicon]

The equipped creature attacks, trigger goes on the stack, you may respond to the trigger, if no responses happen you roll a die and either draw a card or don't, after that players get back priority

[@raisins7777]

@@Luiginicon The question at hand is: when the trigger resolves if the equipped creature is not in play but its last-known information power would be the greatest on the battlefield, do you draw a card?

When Nelson was talking about having a miserable experience playing a cube with traps to draft into I was very confused because that's my favorite way to play magic in general and build decks and cubes

[@ptmountford]

But the traps disadvantage everyone except the creator.

Can I ask what about it appeals to you? Because I very much am in the same place as Nelson on this one, so your opinion here seems wild to me.

[@kingfuzzy2]

@@NickTheDM my brother when he introduced me to magic only played elfball for a straight month and never let me cast a single spell so now I only have fun in magic when I am challenged or at a disadvantage. In short wild unplayable sheet is the only real way to play MTG for me and feel something.

The "German sounds funny, if you totally butcher the pronounciation."-joke is only moderatly funny, pretty tiresome and maybe slightly problematic. Funfact, not ot be a total buzzkill: The literal translation of Eichhörnchen is really confusing to germans, because "Eiche" wie in "Eich-Hörnchen" is an oak tree, but the name really is older and refers to the old word "aig" which isn't a port of modern german anymore and means as much "quick.". Also some people thought squirrel ears look like horns, so the are called "Hörnchen"/"small horns". The total, literal translation would be "small quick horn.", which isn't exactly the most intuitive animal name. Also "Eichhörnchen" sounds pretty similar to "Einhörnchen"/"small unicorn", which is a slighlty clunky pun and the reason why you can find squirrels with unicorn horns, when googeling "Eichhörnchen Horn".
