What's on your mind, MTGN CCC community?

I'm seeking your custom card creation-related questions, comments, and random thoughts to respond to in an upcoming article for the site's main page. Feel free to reply to this thread or PM me (as a reply to the first post of this thread or with the subject line "CCC Mailbag") - select messages will get responded to publicly in the article. Note that I'll include usernames.

Looking forward to kicking off an irregular series of insightful mailbag articles with you all!
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Would you ever play or build a custom card cube? What would you recommend, balance-wise, archetype-wise, and so forth? How strictly should the color pie be adhered to for such a set?

What are some common design practices or guidelines that you either disagree with or would change given the chance?

What's your take on the custom card competitions and games we're running? Are there any gaps you'd dare us to fill?

This is cool.

The Nexus Card Creator is my favorite. But will the art window in it be updated with tools that enable the adjustment of images such as positioning, zooming, cropping, and the like? Also, will retro frames be added to the menu?
