I've Always Wanted To

Two Fridays in, and I'm still going strong. So, I've taken a first pass at the Jumpstart 2020 Twobert Cube. You can see the first draft of the list at Cube Cobra . So, you may be asking: have you done it now? You've always wanted to build a cube, and now you have. The answer is, kinda. I'm going to spend time playtesting the cube with the playtest features on Cube Cobra. And, I'll do some things like picking out lands and sleeves and maybe some cubamajigs . But, before we put the cube to bed, and say I've done one of the things I've always wanted to do, I want to talk about how the cube was put together, talking through the choices made for each color.

If you don't know what a cube is, go ahead and click  here  for a brief introduction. Now, I've fiddled around with this idea before. And, in fact, I've assembled a cube before. But, I didn't really build it. I just copied a list from somewhere, and while I had some fun playing with it, I never really took the steps to make it mine. And, if I'm honest, I never play it much anymore. So, this time, I'm making it on my own, and for me. I've also already gotten a head start on this, as I put it in motion before the new year actually started. Here's what we know about the project already: I'm going to...
