Idea: Custom Community Cube
Custom Cards forum

I was thinking we could all work together to develop a cube entirely made of custom cards designed to be fun to play from everything from the abilities to the flavor text.
Is this something that people would consider contributing to?
We could then make it available for people to print proxies and play it.
This sounds cool. I've always loved to design cards, and while sometimes my idea of "balancing" is questionable, I could contribute, if you'd like.

I believe that was the Tappedout Community Cube. That used real cards, but this is entirely custom cards. Like the Custom Cards forum.

Ah didn't see the custom card aspect. It would honestly be very difficult to pull off, even a cube of 360 cards would be hard to pull off because, well, we would need to make 360 different cards.

Well, people singlehandedly make custom sets of ~260 cards on MSE all the time. Not saying it'll be easy, but with multiple different people, it's not improbable.

A cube made up entirely of unbalanced mythics and rares with a high density of bad planeswalkers seems like a poor idea.

I'll contribute! Perhaps a limit on Commons, Uncommons, etc. is needed so we don't spam Mythic's and Planeswalkers. Also, perhaps a Ravnica-Like Set but with tri-color so people can take charge of different tri-colors. I suppose it would be an Alara/Tarkir mix, huh?

Keeping it balanced yet powerful is quite hard but I think that it would be awesome if successful.
I think as a start we would need to determine what multi color cards to create, the number of each color at different levels of rarity, and come up with mechanics and interactions.

Or maybe just keep it simple with 60 cards of each color, 30 colorless artifacts, and 30 non basic lands.

Awhile back on this Forum, there was an idea to make a Desert Block, each Tri-color used to represent part of it. For instance, Bant would be the Humans of the Desert, Mardu, Elementals that ran free, Sultai, the Wildlife, etc. Would you like to build off of there?

Number 5? I lost count.
