After about a 7 year hiatus from the game I want to put together a pauper cube. I've put a cube together from my existing collection, but I want to review recent releases for more powerful replacements.
In doing the review, I want to add some comments to the cards so I don't spend time comparing the same cards or remaking the same evaluations in future reviews. For example, I currently have Blade of the Sixth Pride in my cube; I could add comments such as "Strictly worse than Accorder Paladin and Daring Skyjek, only use if need redundancy". Other uses could also be to earmark cards if I want to support themes in future, or potential replacements if a current card doesn't work out, or to keep historical knowledge e.g. "Removed from cube as was too powerful against aggro".
Is there something out there that can help me do this? I'm happy to use Excel if something suitable doesn't exist and I can export a card list; is there a site that can do this? Gatherer is great for searching, but I can't see any way to export the list.
Thanks for the responses. I've already uploaded my cube to Cubetutor, but I'd like to record comments/evaluations per card. Probably more importantly, I want to comment on cards that aren't in my cube that I'm considering.
I'm happy to use Excel; is there a list or search tool that can generate a list in that format including full stats and abilities? Gatherer doesn't present in a format (that I'm aware of) that allows a quick copy and paste into Excel, and most other lists are checklists, or only include the power and toughness so don't allow for meaningful comparisons of cards. It might be masochistic to review every card, but I don't want to compound that with having to cut and paste every single field of a card
Just as I was about to give up I jumped a few links from some other sites back to a thread here. In case anyone else was viewing this thread and was interested, it extract alot of information from Wizards database gatherer that can be exported into a spreadsheet.
I don't think I can post hyperlinks yet, it's called Gatherer Extractor and you can find it in the programs and application forum.
