Maybe it's worth mentioning cube being front and center in the Online Champions Showcase, starting in 2020? e.g.: https://magic.gg/events/2020-magic-online-champions-showcase-season-2

Fuck yeah. Just chiming in, my group in general doesn't like drafting duals. Most will do it, but passing cool cards to do the "prudent thing" and picking up a fetchland is not a good emotion from them and for me. I'd rather they focus their mental energy on their spells or the utility...

I'm not familiar with the story, how did that happen? Was it something like "I was at 4 life, opp tried to Bolt me, I cast REDACTED in response, opp Boros Charmed me?"

Yeah, good point, that is maybe the most important factor of why it feels random. Every threat is a game ender and every turn you need to push tempo as far as you can. Watching the Old Border cube in CubeCon, it felt markedly slower than other cubes and more strategical because you could choose...

Mild to severe disgust. "Life getting in the way" is absolutely a reason why I haven't been looking at Magic much, but it's not just that. When I look at Magic, most of the time it doesn't spark joy anymore. Not only I'm looking at WotC as a predatory company that wants to milk me dry but also...

These are incredible! I, for one, welcome our new art generator overlords.

Wait, isn't Toxic identical to Poisonous? Why is it a new keyword? Snake Cult Initiation Virulent Sliver

The constructed format I'd love to play on Arena is Penny Dreadful, what does that say about me?

What if people can choose any card in their pool to be their commander?

It's great, I hate it.

I am concerned about the 4/4 indestructible hexproof, I know with modern creature stats it's not as threatening but it's kind of absurd if you put it with old school creature power level. I really don't see monstrosity as cleaner, it's a state change sort of marked by a counter but not really...

Fires is a very specifically midrange card, and it has its moments when cast on curve with 4 and 5 drops to follow, but it's not something I am usually looking to play. I didn't want to run it based on power level, but I could be convinced otherwise since I like the card and it's historically...

Let's talk Gruul, I'll be a bit shorter. Gruul is a midrange/ramp combination traditionally. Our gold slots are important to pull drafters in Gruul aggro or Gruul control. Honorable mentions: Atarka's Command, Yavimaya Iconoclast, Firespout, Bloodbraid Elf. Hans Eriksson I am trying it. I...

Fuck WotC. They are probably going after all the proxy-making sites, and this was in the list (even though it's really not what competes with their $999 proxies) and because it's run by someone they can actually sue, it got Cease and Desisted. What does it actually accomplish? It hurts people...

So, I'm debating whether drafting this cube as a Twin Cube is a good idea. If that's the case, 2x EWit + 2x Primal Command is on the menu :o

I'm on the fence about "fixed", definitely less vulnerable to Path to Exile. More vulnerable to Wrath of God.

And now, Dimir! In Dimir I'm looking for cards that work well in aggro-control, cards that work well in control, and cards that work well in either. It's a color combination that doesn't tend to midrange very often, but the generic cards make midrange quite possible. Agony Warp Generic...

Ok, replaced Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset with an aggro aligned-card. Teferi is quite (quite!) wordy and after reading it more attentively, it's not that interesting. Aven Mimeomancer Mimeomancer is... probably really good in some games, and pretty bad in others? It's an interesting aggro card...

Throw money at the problem, hire a croupier to walk around the tables handing out tokens. I try to get people to search the pile and keep the tokens their deck uses in their sideboard, it works alright for my group. If you keep it in a box though, no one will touch it - the pile has to be on...
