Vintage Cube Feb 2022 Update
Posted in Magic Online on February 15, 2022
Howdy, gamers!
New yr, new Vintage Cube updates. For anyone newer to these updates, my proper name'southward Carmen Handy. I'm on the Play Design squad here at Wizards of the Coast, and for about a year at present, I've had my fingers in the changes being fabricated to Vintage Cube. Some of the changes take been great, and some have been
There are a ton of changes with this iteration of Vintage Cube, so let's go ahead and dive into what y'all can await, what to exist looking for, and the management in which things are headed.
Macro Shifts
It's no secret that the strongest things to do in Vintage Cube are generally blue cards and artifacts, with monocolor aggro often being open enough for each table to have ane or ii strong aggro drafters. This is a symptom of a couple of things, with some being more actionable than others.
To put information technology bluntly: the strongest cards in the history of the game are largely blueish or artifacts. In that location isn't much that tin be done to address this on the side of cube design. Cubes are largely built out of cards that already be, and there simply aren't ever going to exist green or white cards that compete with Sol Band and Ancestral Recall.
On height of being potent, a lot of these cards are too "generically" strong. This ways that no matter what archetype you're playing, your blueish deck is probably interested in playing Mana Drain, Ancestral Call back, and so on. Take green on the other hand; looking at the stronger cards in the cube, they aren't going to work in every single greenish deck:
This is because to compete with some of the stronger things in the cube, other colors lean more than into synergy rather than leaning on raw rate. That'due south okay, but it means that some slots are going to accept to be committed to more than synergy-based cards for the sake of making a color combination more than likely to hang against the stronger stuff that shows upwardly in Vintage.
I utilize green equally an example because it's the color seeing the largest update, and that's largely motivated by a want to have more reasonably stiff gold cards for the color.
With the last few cube updates, there's been a flake of dancing effectually the fact that the pool of generically stronger cards that Gruul and Selesnya have access to are insufficiently weak when stacked against Izzet and Azorius. Some of the power in the latter pairs are rooted in the fact that the infrastructure is at that place for cards like Thousand-Year Storm and Dack Fayden to really smooth, which brings me to the big change coming to Vintage Cube:
Lands equally an Archetype
Something nosotros saw last year in a spotlight cube was the inclusion of Nighttime Depths as a combo slice. Information technology isn't always perfect, but it does requite a bunch of cards a chance to shine. Knight of the Reliquary, for example, is a card that ain't what it used to be. But now at that place are more spell lands in the cube, a land-based combo, and more than only ability and toughness that incentivize people to play with Knight of the Reliquary.
Enabling this sort of archetype isn't costless and does come with a handful of new additions to the cube that are for the sake of trying to lift non-blue cards, some of which can slot into some more midrange-y strategies. This includes some obvious stuff in the vein of Life from the Loam and The Gitrog Monster, but also some more subtle shifts, similar the Horizon lands from Future Sight and Modernistic Horizons:
These are cards that are going to be able to slot into more decks while allowing more land-centric cards like Wrenn and Six and Crop Rotation to have more utility in decks that might non quite be going as far as existence a lands deck. These cards are ultimately unexciting on the whole when only used with basic lands, and then my hope is that finding ways to slot in some normal cards that synergize with these pieces will requite them that extra push to get them into people's decks more frequently.
To be entirely frank, I don't believe that every single piece of the lands package is going to stand up the test of time, only something this large warrants a flake of flexibility for the sake of discovering what does work. It's entirely possible the bundle itself doesn't play out as well equally it does on paper, and I'one thousand prepared to continue searching for means to raise the stock of non-blue cards, even if it ways continuing to play whack-a-mole with the residual of the reasonable-ish Selesnya Cards.
Blackness creatures
Over time, the other color that sticks out a chip to me equally waning in utility is blackness. Outside of Reanimator, it'due south become harder and harder to accept a successful black-based deck. This update to the cube is an attempt to get back to having more than creatures in the early game and testing out which directions those cards can slot into other archetypes.
Some of the new inclusions are meant to be clear in their awarding. Vampire Hexmage works with Dark Depths and punches planeswalkers; Cryptbreaker is some other fine-ish Reanimator enabler. The ones that I'1000 the least confident in are some of the recursive cards, a la Skyclave Shade and Bloodghast. In conjunction with some token makers, these cards can enable some archetypes that weren't quite there before or were at least somewhat close.
New additions Braids, Conduce Minion and Goblin Bombardment ideally requite enough back-up in meaningful sacrifice outlets with Smokestack and Recurring Nightmare for a new deck to be feasible. A couple of slots tin completely change what decks are possible in a cube, and I'one thousand working harder than ever to try and let people play Vintage Cube in the way that'due south the virtually fun to them.
This round of changes has some cards that are easier to build around than others at all kinds of different power levels. I'm going to continue my eye on what people are edifice around and what isn't making it onto the battlefield.
As always, I'thousand open to feedback on what is or isn't working, what'southward missing to assistance something clear the bar, and what you don't think will ever cutting it. Some of the changes this fourth dimension around are a bit more radical, but updating the cube is a constant balancing deed. In a lot of ways, the cube is a beloved letter to the community, from the customs, and I'm hoping it'due south well received this time effectually.
I'm looking forward to what comes out of this season and tin't wait to run across y'all in the queues.
