YOU CAN FIND THE LINK TO MY CUBE IN THE DESCRIPTION

This is my favorite video out there I've probably watched this video 20ish times. So much good information about Cube I'm 140ish cards away from finishing my first cube and its been so much fun researching and finding the cards for it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dude, super awesome and informative. I've had one that my friends and I randomly made with not much balance. We have it to where every Pokemon can be played as a basic and every Pokemon counts as a basic energy of its own type. Super fun, this way you don't have to add basic energy to the deck.

I built my mutant cube a while ago, it was from XY onwards. We had a lot of fun playing the cube... I think it’s super fun and worth spending the time building it!!

I've been meaning to research on cubes because I've been planning on making a cube for a dead game. It may not be Pokemon but it can still be applied. Thanks for this video!

More people should know about this. I really enjoy this concept and can’t wait to play with this method! Especially the mutant version seems really interesting. Thank you for the awesome video!

Thank you for making this video! It's so nice to see support for this format. I've been working on my own pokemon cube for a while now and this video was very helpful.

I have been wanting a cube format video for a long time. Thanks a million

Oh personally I have a Yu-Gi-oh cube for quite sometime. I always end up having a little fun with friends now, and then with it. From this video I might end up building my own Pokemon cube one day! Thank you for the insight into it~

Superb watch, inspired me!

It's sick you've posted this video! I've actually been working on and playing my Mutant Cube over the past few years and I think it's at a really good point these days with various archetypes and interesting combinations.

For a singleton cube and to make it more like an evolutions matter way to play that simulates pokemon evolving to overcome a stronger opponent, evolution are kept outside of the game, and when a basic is knocked out, after the opponent picked up their prize, you flip a coin and if you get heads you remove half the damage counters rounded down, and bring the evolution card in from outside the game ^^. Not sure if it’d be balanced, but it would definitely be fun.

Last year i switched from pokemon to magic, after 5 years of playing the game (things change), and just now i rewatched your video, and it inspired me to build a cube with my old cards that no longer have a use for me, so i can play with my friends from time to time, thanks (:

I am a simple person. I am bored, I watch this video for the 50th time.

Holy shit man! You deserve all the love on the world! You just saved so many researching hours to so many people by doing this. Props to you. In a single hour you managed to make me stop getting worried about the overwhelmingness of planning a cube! Now I'm worried of how much it will cost lmao

Your recent cube vids made.me and my friend wanna build one! Love this guide man!

I have a mutant cube and it is super fun; but I can agree it takes a while to design and it is REALLY expensive to put together (especially if you are like me and want everything max rarity)

I love the video.When I first try cube I try mutant but my friends never wanted to play. One thing I like mine is that the “packs” weren’t just random. I will put one of each type, a supporter, a trainer and a random card between stadium energies and tools. The reason why is that way people can draft cards that help the player or pick a must have in their decks. If the opponent gets to see a trainer or supporter passed up you know he is getting really strong Pokémon.

Thank you for this video ❤️ I'm in the middle of rearranging all my storage and stuff so I'm figuring out what to do with all my cards (especially since I can't afford to keep collecting right now). I've heard of cube-drafts before but never fully understood what they are. I might try making one aimed at casual players so I play with my family using my boxes full of cards I have laying around.

I am building a cube with cards from Diamond & Pearl to Call of Legends and i already had some evolution lines I liked set aside and was pretty happy to find so many of them in your recommendations :D thanks for that great video, I will probably give an update when I'm finished

Thank you soooo much Joe... this has saved me hundrends of hours...

this video made me excited to cube i got over 600 cards and im gonna try it

Amazing work! Thank you for this. I'll probably build one in the following days

Great job joe thank you so much

Im telling you down below that this was super super helpful! I'm working on a cube for my friends (we normally play magic) and this streamlined things so much!

Joe! Thank you for the video. I was on the process of building a Cube, but the lack of information and interest made me stop mid-way. That was the best source for any Cubes out there, I really apreciate it. I do have a question for you, though: Does the Power Creep get in the way of the Cube? I was thinking of not using BW-on Pokémon, but I see that you use lots of them. Blaziken is a good example, with the RS Base having only 100 HP, and the Furious Fists one being a more potent Blaziken ex but only giving 1 prize

All those Bending the Rules sound familiar :P Excellent video btw, gives me a few fresh ideas for the CharlieChespinCube, can't wait for Sheffield Day 2 c:

just finished my cube based on the numbers here. I stole your costum card too (: thx for the video! helped a lot!

This is an awesome idea and such a thorough guide thanks! Couple questions can this be done with only two people? If so how many cards would you recommend including in the cube? Also, would a mutant draft be a good idea for someone with a smaller collection? Im more of a casual collector and don't have 4-5 of each evolution line.

Would you be willing to post your cube list? I know making a cube and picking the pokemon you want is part of the fun in building one, but I'm the type of person that prefer's a strong baseline to compare to. Who knows I might actually just enjoy using the cube you have put together. Thanks in advance.

Ok so the “ take one and pass it along” is that pass the remaining cards to the person next to you? And then they do the same? And you all draft from the same cube correct??

Any mutant Cube builders in Wisconsin? If no one knows is there a way to find out who knows?

Do you have a full list of all the cards in your cube?

Great video Joe! I'm wanting to build a 480 card cube with no electric type, would it be fine to change all of the water cards to be weak to grass for balancing? Just so you can understand the idea I have, it would be 2 triangles, Fire Water Grass and Fighting Ghost Dark with normal being Porygon Z and Dodrio.

Hey Joe, brilliant video as always! Huge fan of the channel, and always will be! Quick question, do you think you could make a balanced power level cube with EXs and GXs? I have wayyy more of the Sun & Moon sets than any of the older era cards. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

Recently built my own cube, I'd love to compare my list to yours! Could you post your cube list? I admit I have not watched the full video yet, so if It's in there just call me a dingus.

i think it would be cool if evolved pokemon could use the abilities of their pre evolutions

Lots of work must have gone into this video, but I noticed Fainting Spell Gengar, one of my favorite cards, was snubbed from the list. I also think Ariados is a cool grass type that has 5 options you can play over, say Roserade. No offence, just tying to give others more info.

This video is a absolute gift my man, so thorough 🦦💚

Do you have like a spreadsheet for your cube

Thanks for this video. I'm currently on a journey to get a cube created, although its a bit atypical. I was wondering if there is a comprehensive list of all mechanics (or popular mechanics) that Pokemon do? So, for instance, a list that says: Energy Disruption, Energy From Discard, Energy Accel, Force Switching, Card Discard, etc, and then lists the Pokemon that have done that.

So what if you did integrate (BW-on) EXs and GXs in your cube? I'm looking at you Jirachi EX and Tapu Lele GX which search for a supporter, Decidueye GX for the feather arrow, Zoroark GX for trade (which is what the old Empoleon did but on a stage-1) and riotous beating, and even Marshadow GX which can use any attack of any basic Pokémon in the attacker's discard? And of course allowing GXs implies access to GX attacks (hence the need for the GX markers) and they (along with the EXs) give up 2 prizes apiece as opposed to 1 (which the old ex's were changed to in cube format to reflect the nature of the cube). The bad news is, they would have way too much HP and probably way too powerful attacks (and perhaps even abilities), looking especially at the aforementioned. The second issue is that Noctowl BREAK's attack mentions trainer cards in an era where "trainer" is a blanket term to count supporters, stadiums, and items (tools or not). And then we get to the last issue, involving sableye. Overconfident says if you reveal this guy as your active, you go first (if your opponent's active also has this they cancel out and the flip determines who chooses to go first or second) but with the caveat that if you do go first (overconfident or otherwise) recall that you're not allowed an attack on your first turn unless a card says otherwise (deoxys iirc) ( *edit:* or unless you bend the rules to allow such, which a cube may very well do).

What’s with you European players and your alternate formats? For God’s sake, play the game the way it’s supposed to be played! (Jk, I’ll probably build this with my friends at some point)

I did my first draft today and got insane fire Pokemon as no one else was even running fire so I was able to snag all of them and I destroyed everyone.

I know this video is crazy old now, but what do you think the best draft format for a cube is for two people? Larger packs traded back and forth? Winston?

awesome!

this is really cool, i've always wanted to get into pokemon tcg but there are no competitive players in France around my location I have had a lot of fun building magic the gathering cubes and am definetly going to try this out to be able to play with friends! i had a thought when seeing your video , what do you think about making everything singleton except trainers and supporters, this would allow for a more stable way of getting to the pokemon you drafted and allow some easier experimentation of multiple energy types decks? also do you hve any idea how you would implement the latest GX pokemon without making a non mutant cube completely unbalanced?

I'm having a hard time finding a list of cubes from others. I realize part of the fun is constructing the cube, but if I wanted to quickly put together a themed tournament online, is there a list of different themed pkmn cubes out there?

Im checking all your Cube videos in disorder. Do you know if I can find a Sword and Shield era cube that its just 1-prizers? Think my group will try that

If you were to build a set cube (Ultra Prism for example) would you go 4 copies for commons, 3 for uncommon and 2 for rares? Thinking of building one for my workplace and think this would be the best way to go about building a set cube.

Thanks great guide. Super complete! I will try to make my own with proxys.

What do you think about Michael Slutsky's free X-X-X line when drafting so you do not need to draft lower evos?

How did you make the coustom cards?

Does anyone know of any discord communities around cube drafting?
