Hello again, and welcome to Temur Cube 2.0! Since you all liked Temur Cube so much last time, I figured I could work a little magic, throw in some new cards, and bring it back for your playing pleasure. You’re welcome.
Although it seemed like a lot of people had fun with the previous version, it had a lot of room for improvement. That being said, my goal of the cube is the same now as it was then, to create an environment with some of my favorite strategies, such as blue-red spells, combo, artifact, and mono-red aggro.
The feedback I got was valuable, and I used it to make the adjustments you will see now. I removed some of the over-the-top cards such as Mana Drain and Mana Crypt. I will take a moment to apologize to Gabriel Nassif, as I did decide to keep Mystic Confluence in. I’m sure you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me.
Another piece of feedback that I got was that green wasn’t strong enough. So, it got boosts with better ramp enablers and cards like Channel. The archetypes overall got a little more refined, and I added a lot of sweet new cards from the most recent sets.
Most importantly, I added more lands. I added some copies of dual lands that were only one-ofs previously. No point in adding all these cool spells if you can’t cast them.
The lands in Temur Cube 2.0 that appear exactly twice are fetch lands, shock lands, and the original dual lands.
Many of these archetypes are similar to the last iteration: artifacts, spells, creatures, ramp, and combo. That being said, here’s a brief breakdown of archetypes by color.
Blue
Blue is the color of control, combo, and artifacts. For artifacts, be on the lookout for cards like Tinker and Urza, Lord High Artificer. As there is a lack of efficient black and white removal, counterspells will be key in interacting with what your opponent is trying to do. Blue also includes a lot of creatures that care about spells, such as Demilich, Baral, Chief of Compliance, and Murktide Regent.
Red
I’m not going to lie to you and tell you I decided to take the road less traveled. I didn’t. Take the Dragon’s Rage Channeler and be happy about it. If you insist on not wanting to be like other Magic players, you can also go the spell route. There are rituals and payoffs for the storm archetype and other spell-based strategies. Either way, it’s clear what red is asking you to do.
Green
Green is the color of creature-based ramp and big monsters like Kogla, the Titan Ape and Craterhoof Behemoth. Channel and Fastbond were added to make this strategy even stronger. You will also notice there is a counters-matter subtheme. This seemed like a more appealing archetype to put together than the previously included Elves. It’s easier to assemble in a larger cube, and Kalonian Hydra is a lot of fun.
Blue-Red
There are a few blue-red variations in the cube, including artifacts and spells. Storm cards are very present in the cube, but as many experienced players know, in a cube of this size, it is going to be very difficult to assemble a critical mass to make it work. However, I have found that creating a spell-based deck is still possible and fun, and the shell easily makes room for whichever blue-red combo you want to use as a finisher, such as Splinter Twin.
Green-Blue
When blue and green meet up in this cube, they are either trying to ramp or give you a big payoff for ramping. There is a counters subtheme that you will see with some Simic cards, but the real signposts of this color pair are Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy and Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath.
Red-Green
Gruul is all about the beatdown. Much like mono-red, it wants you to get to a critical mass of creatures, but with a heavier swing. There are landfall synergies still present with cards like Moraug, Fury of Akoum, Brushfire Elemental, and Wrenn and Six, but also just value cards like Dragonlord Atarka and Huntmaster of the Fells.
Artifacts/Colorless
Having three colors provides a lot of room for colorless cards. There are a lot of cool cards in blue and red that care about artifacts as well. In this cube, the bulk of your artifact cards are either going to provide or bolster your ramp or set you up to combo. The larger creatures such as Frost Titan and friends are payoffs for a ramp well done, or for you to cheat into play.
This cube has all my favorite things. I hope you all enjoy version 2.0 even more than the first. There’s a healthy variety of powerful things to do, but the most important thing is to have fun! Feel free to reach out to me and tell me what you think.
Cheers!
