    Oepsie, confused with another member. My fault. Still, why is the brc decks a problem, it is just an example (but weaker powered) of the design nowadays of bomb->bigger bomb->done

    No, in the early days the removal was pushed but the creatures were weak. Still, draft and so on was won with the bad creatures.

    How are most of the cards different from the list of creatures you mentioned? Well, the decks are a bit lower powered than your list, but your list are all cards that needs to be answered immediately (and if you answer then you are often already behind) or overbombed. No thanks

    I like my games which do not deteriorate in: Bomb -> bigger bomb/answer/ -> bigger bomb/answer etc until game over for the one who is out of luck. The brothers war commander decks were like this and although it is fun for a few times (spectacular comebacks) it is also rather boring.

    So, all except one can do something immediately when they hit play. Hmm, how far the game has gone that not having an immediate impact nullifies a card.

    Lower power and then nighthawk would not be something I expect in the same sentence.

    Card/Deck Cheeky Token Deck

    Nope, (well depends on the other cards you have in the cube). You have 2 creatures, and then playing one more gives you a freebee. I think that Jinny only gets real strong when you have cards that make multiple tokens for not much mana. Like a lot of food/clue/power stone/goats/useless ones.are...

    I agree, but sometimes they do not have an answer. Anger can be answered, wonder is a bit more painful. Let alone: genesis That one is either too slow or unbeatable/inevitable depending on the other cards in the pool. These are fun cards, but only so in a tight band. Some of the anger cards...

    Card/Deck Cheeky Token Deck

    Well, it just gives you one additional creature for each non-token creature you play. Whoop whoop. No, you do not just kind of win.

    Well, if you have one other nonland permanent then your opponent will likely choose that one. Why not cards that do damage to all creatures, e.g., wildfire

    Reveal the stashed cards with ~ and…. Otherwise one can read it like all stashed cards? See cards with exile as an example, e.g., kayla’s music box

    Article Sink or Swim: Making Cube Approachable

    Your examples/text e.g., losing your own stuf to do something, e.g., no voidmage tend to lead to cluttered board states. You are right that nowhere you mentioned make all cards midrange. It could be that I went a bit to far in reading between the lines. My point on number of words does not infer...

    It is a great card in white weenie. Weenie gets foiled by control or big creatures. This solves the big creatures part by allowing white weenie to brake the symmetry and gain a lot of life/do something with a lot of tokens on the side. The sad part is that it does not do anything useful against...

    Article Sink or Swim: Making Cube Approachable

    I agree that we have to make our cubes accessible. However, I do not agree with your points of making it a midrange slugfest. Words on a card does not equip complexity. Examples are keyword soup versus one wordy ability. You are bound to forget a keyword in the soup but not a grokable ability...

    Unpopular opinion but no. Suppose you steal the ring from one of your friends. How do you think the rest of your shared posse will react to you?

    The ring grants 2 powers to normal mortals. It lengthens your life when wearing it and on use you become a shadow which the others cannot see/hurt (the Nazgûl can see and hurt you). This is useful to sneak up on someone or to escape. (It does not make you more powerful unless you are a mighty...
