Things are coming together (Ikoria cube progress update *#2*)!
Just got myself 500 of the new Lukka sleeves...
Gonna use them for my custom Shards of Ikoria cube which I'm making on Cardsmith!

I'll continue to post random updates like this over time, as it gets closer to being finished.
I know many of you are helping to contribute cards to this cube! You're help is not forgotten and certainly much appreciated. As a way of saying thanks and to make sure I give proper credit, I'll be adding little "designer tags" to each card, which will contain the Cardsmith username of the creator of that card. I will do this for all the cards you guys created! For example, LordTachanka's "Time's Toll" will have a little tag that says "LordTachanka123" in the bottom righthand corner.
Let me know what you guys think? Is anyone hype for the cube? Once I compress the cards into an Indesign Layout, I could export it as a printable PDF and post it here (if possible), so you guys can download it and make like a "print-and-play" version. What do you think of that?

@Arceus8523 If you wanted to try your hand and maybe pitch in a few cards, you could try making some nonbasic lands... that would be much appreciated! If you want to know about the lore/flavor of the set, I highly recommend checking out the discussion thread between me and The-DM in the comments on the set, which can be found here: https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Alextorrez6/sets/52680
If you make cards for this set, you will get a little "designer" tag in the bottom right-hand corner of the printed card, which will have your creator username on it so everyone will know you made it.
Don't worry too much about the flavor/design of the nonbasic lands, just make sure they fit relatively well within the Ikoria universe and are balanced for limited play (i.e. a singleton cube draft).
If I like the cards, I'll definitely use them. If not, I'll still probably favorite them and give you helpful suggestions for how to make them better.
Also, I'm really excited myself about this... it's the first time I've ever made a full set of magic cards. I've made proxy decks before, but nothing on quite this scale! It should be a lot of fun when finished!
Also, would it be fine if I sent you my cards on here @Alextorrez6?
What I'd love to do for you is help remake your existing cards so that they look nice and pretty, things like a proper mutate frame, the long typelines fitting on cards, companion legendary crowns, etc. That sort of stuff. For example:
I’ll make it ASAP. Since I don’t have premium, I should use the Lorwyn symbol, right?
Also that symbol looks sweet, but just for consistency can you use the Ikoria symbol instead? If you need my custom ones, they’re here: https://forums.mtgcardsmith.com/discussion/4147/custom-set-symbol-urls/p7
If you make more cards, can you use blue, black, and white more often, since I don't need too many red/green ones or the ratios will be way off.
Ask and you shall receive

@Ral1000 Oooh! I like this one. Definitely gonna use it! Do you think you'd be able to make the other four wedges to complete the cycle?
On a different note, I was wondering if you would be able to offer some feedback on my custom set which I posted on the forums earlier this week. If you are too busy at the moment, I completely understand.
As for the four other apexes, I agree, definitely what makes them good is the cheap mutate cost, which works great in a cube! And yeah, I know they exist in real Ikoria but I took those legends and colorshifted them for the new shards combinations.
Thanks so much again Ral1000.
I'll make another one for the cycle each morning for the next few days. Thanks again!
I've been thinking that perhaps we could go a little off the original fixed creature types from Ikoria, to add some variety.
