Just imagining making a name embedded custom using only LB and Summertime.
Months back I remember reading using only cores wasn’t allowed. I don’t know if things have shifted, so I’m asking.
I got this idea from reading the Labs thread.

if I remember correctly, 2 cores are currently allowed if you are following the progressive microloops schedule
Thank you! 
Just ordered one on 21 March 2026 and I’m running it now.
I’d been working through Alchemist and Khan Black again, in parallel. Once I got to level 4 of them both, I decided to combine them into one synergistic hybrid.
And yes indeed, as @anon15812918 affirmed, I’m using the microloop progression schedule. (That’s just prudent these days. We’re in ZPU-waters.)
I’m writing this post under the assumption that 2 core name embeds are allowed:
I would encourage you before entering such a build to do the following:
1
think about it relative to any objective you have
2
keep the build focused.
Example of focused: RICH plus Mogul
Example of not focused: Sage plus Primal Nights
3
get community input
4
check it via the LABS link
5
as a final check, run it through qOS. (I can’t sing its praises enough!) Even though I didn’t agree with all of the ideas (because of certain parameters I set for myself), its rationales made sense.
It’s allowed, it’s a a great idea. It’s now my default strategy.
Be careful with exposure though. I’ve been running a single 2 core name embedded for over a month with 0 recon on full loops.
Added a second 2 core name embed, and hit over exposure.
So density increases pretty darn quick.
