    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    Yeah, that is fine. I'll still be up around that hour. Still want to do a trial run just to see how painful it all is. Can just run bots for all the empty slots, do a couple of games and call the experiment complete. We'll try again in a couple of weeks, unless people are keen to try next...

    This is what I drafted last weekend... Have I mentioned that drafting triple small set is weird?

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    I think we may get close to getting a draft to fire. No one has said definitely, but these are all the people who have given some sort of indication they can/may come: Kirblinx Suicufnoc Grillo_Parlante Jonas Taamas McMenno Safra If we do fire, I think the only person who would be streaming is...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    So how about trying this weekend, on Saturday at let's say 21:00 (9pm) GMT? Even if we get six, at least we can trial to see if everything still works (draft.wtf no longer exists, need to see how dr4ft.com works). If you could throw a possible confirmation in this thread or the discord...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    Some of us already do this over on our Cube Blogs. These are usually my favourite posts on the site and I throw them a like whenever I see them. I don't know if it is worth having a whole thread dedicated to match write ups, but since this thread gets more views than the cube blogs then maybe...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    So doing a bit of a bump on this, as we have a MTGO account with cards that aren't being used. Plus it would be nice if our community got some content made for the world to see. This is obviously just a pipe dream at this stage, as when we tried this a couple of years ago we could never get...

    I feel like you wouldn't even need the temporary mana unless the game is lightning fast. Wouldn't the best course of action just be to choose 2 empty mana crystals for the first 2-3 turns then just start drawing 2 cards a turn from there onwards? Also, wouldn't this only really matter for the...

    FFTCG Max 5 Backups (land) Any card can be discarded for 2 mana of the cards colour Have to pay to play Backups (max of 5 in play at once) can tap them for 1 mana of their colour So most decks have a decent variety of backups they can play and the first turns consist of playing the backups to...

    General Alternative Combat Systems

    So I have been enjoying the Final Fantasy TCG and seems to be a well structured game here is how it works with your analysis. FFTCG Restriction: Fairly functional to Magic Attacking: Can only attack players, can attack in groups, attacking done in stages Defending: Can block with one...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Well, Wizards has no idea what they are doing but all of these cards are in the Vintage Cube: Mesmeric Fiend Kitesail Freebooter Brain Maggot So to answer your question... You need to be EXTREME HIGH POWER to run the Freebooter.

    Link has been fixed. Sorry about that. Have to do all the links manually and sometimes my copy/paste clipboard gets a bit muddled :p Alright, now to get on to: Posts Per User in 2017 So this is pretty telling when compared to last years stats. In 2017 there were only 5,959 posts made...

    Hello again, fellow Lab Maniacs! It is that time of year again. The site activity was a bit down on last year, as there isn't as many high liked posts. This isn't to say these aren't all quality, just less overall people on the site to like the cream (I know I wasn't here that much last year)...

    I'm trying not to write 2017. Getting used to writing the new date :P Everyone is happy enough with the format of how I write it, yes? Do I need to elaborate or anything? Heck, would anyone else like to write it up if I give them the data? I started scraping the data tonight (since my code...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    Back on the Pauper trail again. I wanted to show what I have been up to over in those far away lands. I like to think I am making some headway and becoming a somewhat useful part of their community. So first of all, they released some new cards when Iconic Masters was released (as well as the...

    General Basic Lands

    A couple of times I have thought about using the basics as trophies for people who won. They can write their name and their deck and draw something cool on a basic and throw it in the box, so they will forever be remembered as the winner that draft. I always forget about this or try and make...
