I've heard of the cube and would love to try it. Would be a great way to play in a vintage format.
I have dominion and I don't think it's fair to compare it to magic. I enjoy both quite a bit, but they both scratch a different itch for me. With Magic, I enjoy building decks and trying to work out the metagame. I also enjoy being able to foil someone's well thought out plan with a simple counterspell, heh. That being said I do hate getting killed in 4 turns by someone who is obviously better at deckbuilding than me.
Dominion is a different kind of deckbuilding and on a limited scale. What I enjoy most about Dominion is adjusting my strategy on the fly to fit what my opponents are doing (or what random set of cards we drew this time around). It doesn't have any direct conflict though, which is a favourite of mine in most of the games I play.
Different games for different states of mind!
In terms of Dominion like games, I actually prefer Thunderstone and Blood Bowl Team Manager (although that one doesn't really fit into the Dominion archtype very well)
