I'm British and have never heard the pig phrase before but I LOVE "every part of the buffalo" Empirically many of my drafters have coded Rydia as some Saga synergy card rather than a landfall/discard machine which is unfortunate

DECEMBER 25* DRAFTATHON (the year, not Christmas (yet (merry Christmas though!)) Before we all hibernate for the holidays the group held an all-day Cube sesh (on my birthday no less!) so I got to give the locals a tour of my mind palace again. My first RiptideLab Google Groups (!) post was in...

Draft Report - Dec 2025 With the end of the year rapidly approaching I launched a multi-pronged attack on myself. I agreed to host a pod at our rapidly engorging Cube night (now at ~30 people taking up an entire floor of a confused bubble tea cafe every week!), forcing me to shake the Cube out...

One nice feature of the family of synergy Cubes around these parts is the heavy focus on artifacts + build-around enchantments + graveyards incidentally makes green (and white! though it needs less help there) a much better interactive colour. You don't want narrow but pushed hate aimed at a...

Granted that I've only drafted this Cube solitaire on CubeCobra, white aggro doesn't seem to be a big part of it at all let alone a dominant deck. White has some neat stuff going on here but in general struggles to find unique/standout things to do more than any other colour and Wave is a card...

Split Up is interesting/unique to an extent but it doesn't reliably fill the role you want a sweeper to fill especially in a slow/control deck. I agree that Pileup is uninspiring but there are plenty of options at 5 mana - maybe What Must Be Done? So many of the good spellslinger payoffs were...

This list is nostalgia bait too - not because I'm some 'Magic reached its platonic form in [year I started playing] and has been ruined every year since' boomer but because these cards are so cool, just look at them! Sakura-Tribe Elder STE (it's DRC and STE, not Darcy and Steve) represents...

Once you have finished educating us about UB can you teach us how Denmark conquered racism?

Yeah, the relative success of LOTR + FF + Avatar in blending in just makes Spiderman look even more heinous

Nice one here for any fans of Cryptic Command loops etc (or Doppelgang, Flash Photography etc...)

If you like ambitious mana bases...

Neat card with Helping Hand/Recommission etc variants yeah I always had a soft spot for Desolate Lighthouse and this is a really nice one

This is a very neat incentive - feels like a nod to Lorwyn and the UB Faeries/flash stuff we hopefully get to feast on again soon

I consider Magus of the Chains a lot!

all hail the angry giraffe :marofl:
