After all, flying isn’t fun if it requires no skill-it’s just another kind of walking. As fun as it is to build, it gets boring when there is no challenge involved.

It is a sandbox, pure and simple-a toy, and that aspect of it is likely to keep profits down-if there are any profits at all. But the important factor is that there is gameplay.Īccording to Cubelands’ description, the game focuses on construction-and as no screenshots display any challengers, it seems that it does not actually constitute a game per se. That’s no good! You can, of course, turn the game difficulty down to peaceful, so that monsters do not spawn at all, turning the game into a sandbox. You must quickly gather resources and use them to build weapons and shelter to survive the monsters-otherwise you die. In Minecraft, there are monsters that populate the dark places (and the night), making survival the key element of the game. Minecraft is a game-there is a definite goal (by default). As it stands however, it looks like the two programs (not necessarily games) differ only in their intended activity. I've also prioritized drafting lands over playables as I've often noticed people end up with 4-5 more playables and need to cut while their mana bases are very bad.Once Cubelands is released into public beta, I’ll be able to try it and see how it constitutes not being a copyright infringement of Markus Persson’s Minecraft. Arid Mesa in a Red-Green deck where you have a stomping ground. Its common to play Fetch/ Mirage fetch i.e. I have played a temples or canopy lands where only one of the colors matched the two color pair I was playing because I valued the cycle/ scry alot. I found a land is more likely to be good in any deck than a random card. I find people are drafting 3 or 4 color decks most of the time because they want to play with all these synergistic cards. I would add 1-2 more cycles of lands into any cube than most cube designers. (The only exception to this is if i'm playing a spells matter deck and I need my cantrips/ burn spells).Ĥ. I find that you lose too many games because of not hitting land drops/ proper mana rather than flooding out. Whenever I read a forum/ advice about what the number of lands I should play in a 40 card deck (i.e. I'm not too thrilled about the cycle land either, but I figured it might be better for more unstable combo decks that have fewer "playables" and wanted to played 1-2 more lands and anticipate drawing into their combo.ģ. I found the turns into a creature aspects to be almost useless and the land has only been drafted because its a UW land. I have almost never lost a game because I ran out resources/ threats. I've found manlands to be incredibly slow and I have almost never attacked with a colonade before - The only one time I recall I needed to attack with a Colonade was because my hand was destroyed by a Mind Twist. Irrigated Farmland is likely the consideration at the moment as the cut if I wanted to go down the 7 lands. I've actually cut Celestial Colonade from my UW section - I'm on 8 lands with I have found the scry to be extremely usefulĢ. Cube aggro decks don't curve out as smoothly as something like Mono red in other formats and its very common to lose because of not hitting right colors, not hitting right lands, flooding etc. Temple of Deceit should be an auto include in every color pair - Even if the color pair, such as Boros is a heavily aggro color because cube aggro decks often curve into FTK, Armageddon, Chandra Torch of Defiance in the top end etc. I'm not arguing in any way these lands are not good and should not be an auto includeġ. It is already a forgone conclusion that Fetch - Dual - Shock are the best cycles of lands. I currently own a powered cube and here is a somewhat unconventional opinion I have about lands in cube:
