I got pretty busy and totally forgot that I had never actually uploaded the print sheets with all the new commanders. I fucked up, so sorry about that. To make up for it, however, I'm releasing a new five-color commander! Those of you who listen to Heavy Meta regularly should recognize this one. Meet Mother Beaver:<br />

I'd been trying to figure out how to do some kind of "devotion to booze" mechanic for a long time now. Fortunately, this year's official Commander product provided just the technology I needed to actually implement it. So download these new commanders and start brewing your own decks.<br />
<br />
Happy Holidays!<br />

What's that, you ask? Basically, it's just regular EDH/Commander but Booze Cube cards are legal. And let me tell you, it's an amazing format that you need to try for yourself.<br />
<br />
One of the best things about this format is its accessibility. You can keep several Elder Dragon Hangover decks built, let your friends pick one, and start playing immediately. This is especially nice for including less-experienced players who may be intimidated by a full cube draft. And of course, players are free to use their own EDH decks as well.<br />

Note that they contain all of the cards, not just the new ones. Many of the older cards were changed (some major, some minor), and others were cut. As I've always intended the cube to be integrated with real cards, you should check out the spreadsheet to get a sense of what I have in mind for supplemental support.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

There are now 427 cards, which should add a <i>lot </i>of new gameplay options for your cubes at home. I'm still putting the print sheets together, which should be ready sometime in the next few days. Fortunately, you can check out all the boozy goodness in the meantime in the permanent links on the side. <br />
<br />
You can also check out my personal cube list, which has 540 cards and supports up to a 12-player draft. I will note that, if you decide to use my list, I <i>highly</i> recommend proxying the more expensive cards; you don't want someone spilling beer on your $100 fetchlands.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone for all their support since I first released this project. I hope you enjoy this new and improved version of the Booze Cube as much as I've enjoyed creating it.The Booze Cubehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02860977020114132541noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804447986558347205.post-72195054784165456162014-03-01T14:56:00.000-06:002014-03-01T14:56:13.539-06:00The Final Piece of the PuzzleSeveral months ago, I announced that I was just waiting to receive the artwork I commissioned for the last card in the set. It took a bit longer than I had expected, but it's not like I could really complain, since the artist -- Stephen Raffael -- is a busy guy and was doing amazing art for free, purely out of his love for the booze cube. Anyway, thanks for being patient. I think it was worth the wait:<div>

It took a bit longer than I had originally anticipated, but the new cards are definitely worth it. While I originally intended the booze cards to be played alongside regular cards, it seems that many of you really want to play with a purely booze-card Booze Cube. Playing only booze cards, however, leaves a lot of fucking holes in the cube. This update is a first step towards plugging those holes.<br />
<br />
The update adds some much-needed removal, more creatures, and mana fixing. I've also revisited some existing cards. Some cards just needed to be tweaked a bit; for example, Necropotent now draws you three cards per shot. A few cards needed to be totally overhauled; Das Boot now creates the sort of subgame that I had originally envisioned instead of just being fucking terrible.<br />
<br />
And, of course, there are shiny new toys to play with. Some of these take the cube in quite new directions, so I'd love to hear about your experience (good or bad) playing with them. I'm especially interested in hearing how the storm cards are working out for you. (Are they underpowered because you can't get a decent storm count? Are they overpowered because you can? Is storm too difficult to keep track of when everyone's fucked up?)<br />
<br />
<br />
While the update plugs some of the holes, it doesn't plug all of them yet. I do have a lot more cards in the pipeline, and the community expansion contest should help flesh shit out. In the meantime, I still recommend supplementing your booze cube with some regular cards.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I should have the updated visual spoiler and print sheets ready soon, possibly even sometime this evening. I'll leave you with one of my favorite new cards:<br />

In the meantime, here are some more new cards (and major changes to a couple existing ones).

There will also probably be a contest involved, where the winners will get some custom foil Booze Cube cards. I don't have all the details for y'all yet, but if you want to start designing cards, here are some guidelines:</div><ol><li>Pay attention to the Color Pie. It's the core of the entire fucking game. There's a whole series of classic articles by MaRo on each color's design philosphy (links at the bottom of the wiki page <a href="http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Color_Pie" target="_blank">here</a>), and I've written a short post about how I approached incorporating drinking into each color.</li>
<ul><li>Intoxicated is mostly centered in red and green. Since intoxicated creatures can't normally kill players (unless they concede rather than drink a shitload), these creatures can often be costed quite aggressively.</li>
<li>White likes to make everybody drink together. White also likes creating "rules."</li>
<li>Black has powerful effects with high drinking costs (and is the color most willing to take shots)</li>
<li>Blue has lots of abilities that trigger on drinking and likes to make other players drink.</li>
<li>Red likes making random players drink or gambling with coin flips.</li>
<li>Green likes drinking to create mana, creatures, and other resources.</li>
<li>Reanimator cards should be mostly in black and green (with white as a tertiary color)</li>
<li>White has a heavy enchantment theme, with green/blue as secondary colors .</li>
<li>Esper (WUB) has a minor artifacts-matter theme.</li>
<li>Tribal themes:</li>
<ul><li>Fratboy (White)</li>
<li>Pirates (Blue, Blue/X)</li>
<li>Zombie, Vampire (Black)</li>
<li>Dwarf (Red, Red/X)</li>
<li>Bottle (Artifact, colored artifacts)</li>
</ul></ul><li>Cards with abilities that scale the more you drink are <i>extremely </i>powerful and need to be approached with caution. The drink-to-ability ratio really comes into play here. This is especially true when the card is capable of winning the game on its own if the player is willing to drink enough. For example, Bad Trip is, in principle, capable of dealing 20 for 2BB - but a player would have to drink 60 to do it (and 80 flashed back). </li>
<li>When designing a permanent with repeatably activatable abilities, you need either a mana cost and/or an appropriate drink-to-activation ratio. </li>
<li>Powerful is fun. Unbalanced isn't. Ask yourself whether you'd rage quit if an opponent was playing it against you. If so, it might be time to rethink your design.</li>
<li>Drink X is the norm. Shots and chugging should be reserved for particularly powerful effects, usually as a cost. Multiple shots per turn should be used in only the rarest circumstances (i.e. Necropotent).</li>
<li>Parodies of real cards can be awesome, as long as they make sense as a drinking card.</li>
<li>Not all cards have to directly involve drinking. Cards that would be fun/hilarious to play while drinking are also good. For example, Feats of Strength has high-stakes arm wrestling and Negligent Homicide lets the controller of the creature you just killed punch you in the arm. Cards can also just be funny, provided they're mechanically sound (Borat) or mechanically irrelevant (Sparkling Vampire).</li>
<li>I'm not really looking for new keywords. If think that you've come up with a <i>really </i>good one, feel free to submit it, but odds are that I won't use it.</li>
<li>Any existing keyword mechanic is fair game, as is using drinking as a cost for that mechanic (i.e. drinking for flashback, kicker, etc.)</li>

If you're having a problem printing, tell me what's going on in the comments to this post.<br />
<br />
The cards on print sheet should be exactly the size of a normal Magic card -- 88 mm along the vertical axis -- at 207 pixels/inch. The files are meant to be printed on standard letter-sized paper, with margins of 0.5 inch on each side. Make sure your printer is not set to resize when you print.<br />
<br />
If you need a program to print .jpg files, I recommend GIMP, which is kind of like an open-source version of Photoshop. It's what I used to make the print sheets, so it should work for you. You can download it <a href="http://www.gimp.org/downloads/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.The Booze Cubehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02860977020114132541noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804447986558347205.post-3692062400331569002012-06-12T11:56:00.002-05:002012-06-12T11:56:31.838-05:00Print SheetsPrint sheets are finally ready to download and the Visual Spoiler has been updated.<div>

Holy fuck.<br />

Apparently, y'all want a downloadable version of the set that you can print. As it so happens, I've already got 8.5x11 sheets that I used to print up the initial version for playtesting. I'll make them available once I update them with the most recent versions of the cards, so check back later. Or just follow me on Twitter (@theboozecube), and I'll announce it there.The Booze Cubehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02860977020114132541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804447986558347205.post-61408534141275438782012-06-07T14:52:00.001-05:002012-06-07T14:52:22.693-05:00Fus Ro Dah<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Added a new card after watching the new <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PjBSicSVqI" target="_blank">Dawnguard trailer</a>.

For this to happen, I needed to design drinking cards that not only worked mechanically but also made sense in the color pie. And to do that, I had to answer a fundamental question:</span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How does drinking fit into each color's philosophy?</span></span></b><br />
<div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Black was by far the easiest to figure out: black drinks for power. Black will do whatever it takes for power, no matter how high the price might seem to the less ambitious. After all, great power demands great sacrifice. And if black is ready and willing to kill its own minions or even trade its very lifeforce for power, it certainly wouldn't hesitate to give up its sobriety for it. </span></b></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>This hunger for power at any cost gives black some of the most powerful effects in the cube, but these effects are coupled with some of the highest drinking costs as well. </b>With all this heavy drinking, black is probably the color most likely to die of alcohol poisoning. Fortunately, death isn't necessarily an obstacle to having fun.</span><br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">White drinks to strengthen social ties. Nothing brings people together quite like booze. When you're drunk and celebrating, everyone you meet is your new best friend. White will raise a glass and toast to just about anything. White will gladly buy the next round, and it expects everyone to partake.</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">White is also especially fond of playing drinking games with friends. Not only does their silliness strengthen bonds of friendship between the players, drinking games allow white to do something else: make and enforce </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">rules</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Green is</span></b><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> about satyrs and nymphs having an orgy in the forest. It's about pissing off a hotel balcony to mark the world as its territory. And, of course, it's about that yearly fertility ritual we all know as Spring Break.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Like a certain telepathic planeswalker, booze can also do some serious mind sculpting. Drinking messes with your memory and fucks with your sense of time. It makes you an expert in disciplines that you first heard of ten minutes ago (or perhaps just made up). Blue may not drink to get smarter, but it certainly </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">thinks </i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">it's smarter after it's had a few.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Fundamentally, however, blue is the color of cunning. Sure, blue will throw back a few frozen concoctions on the beach of an island paradise... but this is often just a subtle ruse to lure its opponents into complacency so blue can take advantage of them. Blue knows that alcohol weakens the mind. If blue's opponents have more to drink than it does, it follows that its opponents minds will be relatively weaker and easier to manipulate. Mechanically, this aspect of blue is expressed through cards that encourage (or force) one's opponents' to drink and abilities that trigger when they do.</span></span><br />
