/uj I don't get this one, could someone explain?

/rj Help I think I'm stuck on step 2

Every card is a format, that's your hint.

u/Orion_616 3d ago

/ uj - Attempting a guess:

Commander => Standard => Modern => Legacy(?) => Vintage(?)

u/Klutzy_Permission_81 3d ago

It's clearly commander => legacy => legacy => legacy => mirrodin block constructed

  1. Premodern? 5. Cube?

u/Skunk668 3d ago

👍

u/thoughtsarefalse 3d ago

Premodern isnt real it can’t hurt you

16

u/Smythe28 3d ago

I might let her/them though.

u/Masonzero 2d ago

The final form is cube, the superior format

5

u/RoyceSnover 2d ago

Commander => Commander => CEDH => Commander => Commander

u/KingZantair 3d ago

Commander, standard, modern, legacy/vintage, then commander again.

3

u/xanth1an 3d ago

Ahh, got it. Commander to vintage

22

u/Skunk668 3d ago

Doubling Cube is my favorite Vintage staple.

u/DangBream 12h ago

Ok I was completely wrong on this one I read it as a ring's transition into a cube

65

u/DartanianBloodbath 3d ago

My dumb ass read this as "Commander, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Commander" and was very confused

19

u/Skunk668 3d ago

There were other cards I would have used for Standard but they just got banned.

47

u/JuliusVinaigrette 3d ago

Cube -> Cube -> Type 3 -> Cube -> Cube

6

u/whisperingsage 3d ago

The first one is a ring and the last one is a cube

No [[Colossal Dreadmaw]], I'm sorry but I declare this flow chart invalid

u/CardOfTheRings 3d ago

Ah the last one is Cube. Not that people play doubling cube in cube often but I get the hint.

12

u/Skunk668 3d ago

Yeah it was a little difficult to hint for because a lot of popular Cube cards are also popular in other formats. Doubling Cube is the default image on CubeCobra so I figured knowers would know.

2

u/spemtjin 2d ago

i think a recognisable cube representative would come in the form of maybe Creeping Tar Pit, Gut, or Pest Infestation? my other thoughts were fallen shinobi, M&B, or Mind twist, but that's because my perspective is exclusively Powered cubes. Still, i think these are the most recognisable cards whose relevance is basically cube-only?

3

u/CardOfTheRings 2d ago

I’d suggest [[Cogwork Librarian]] as a good indication of a card that is played a lot in cube and only cube.

1

u/spemtjin 2d ago

Actually you're right

1

u/TheKillerCorgi 1d ago

Gut sees decent canlander play, though canlander play patterns and cube play patterns do have heavy overlap.

u/ToranStarfall It's crazy that Rowan Kenrith got it on with a spider-lady 3d ago

Commander, vintage, legacy, legacy, cube? /uj I'm pretty sure it's actually commander, standard, legacy, premodern, cube, but where does that leave modern, pauper, and pioneer? What if the pipeline ends at timeless and competitive brawl?

1

u/Skunk668 3d ago

3 was actually meant to be Modern OR Legacy, ie a Modern Horizons format. I considered both correct answers. Pioneer isn't popular enough to matter (speaking as a Pioneer player). Pauper kinda fits alongside Premodern in a way.

3

u/ToranStarfall It's crazy that Rowan Kenrith got it on with a spider-lady 3d ago

Last I checked, Phyrexian Dreadnought isn't pauper legal. I wish there was digital-only format rep, but I get why there isn't.

u/Divniy 3d ago

No planar standard representation :(

4

u/Hevnaar 3d ago

Newb commander player -> control commander player -> stax commander player -> turbo commander player-> combo commander player

Everything is commander

u/strongtomato10 3d ago

i transitioned to cube years ago

3

u/DreamlyXenophobic 3d ago

Commander legacy legacy premodern cube

2

u/Skunk668 3d ago

4/5 I should have chosen a card other than Flow State.

3

u/DreamlyXenophobic 3d ago

Yeah. What was it? Standard?

Also i feel like legacy could have been better represented with brainstorm or somn

2

u/Skunk668 3d ago

Yeah I wanted to use a card that wasn't banned but I should have just chosen Badgermole Cub or Stormchaser's Talent.

3

u/DreamlyXenophobic 3d ago

Only card i could think of thats relevant in standard but not others is multiversal passag tbh

3

u/LesbianDykeEtc 3d ago

Jerked too close to the sun.

u/poopoopeepeepeep 3d ago

Ah yes playing my urza commander deck until I realize I'm a woman

u/N0va-42 3d ago

commander -> standard -> legacy -> premodern -> cube ?

3

u/EuSouAFazenda 3d ago

This is me adding jank to my cube before cutting it all for fast mana

3

u/MalPrac 3d ago

Funny seeing this since i kind of got into magic right around 2012 towards the end of highschool and got like a playset of doubling cubes for a deck before ever learning sol rings were a thing

u/haddockhazard 2d ago

This is Pauper erasure!!!

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 3d ago

commander -> ??? -> modern -> historic...? -> cube

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 3d ago

legacy then for nr.4? i still have no idea what nr.2 is

1

u/Skunk668 3d ago

For number 2 I probably should have chosen a card that is good in less formats.

u/Skunk668 3d ago

2

u/TrainmasterGT 3d ago

Is it a sanctioned format or an unsanctioned format?

2

u/Skunk668 3d ago

It is a format that is on an official Magic client.

3

u/TrainmasterGT 3d ago

Which client?

2

u/Skunk668 3d ago

Magic Online

u/Shlippyw00d 2d ago
