    General Cube Storage

    Assuming you just want loose binder pages? I think this is it. They seem to sell them in 10 and 50 page bundles. I've seen them before on Amazon and random sites, shouldn't be too hard to find.

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2017

    Huh, I had half as many posts compared to the year before. Makes sense though, I did graduate in 2016 and start working in 2017. Also, Magic was definitely far less interesting to me through 2017 with so many yawners set-wise and having zero interest in following a shitty Standard format at all...

    Keyword Soup overload. A 4/8 flying double-striker is pretty funky.

    Wow, definitely swapping this in for Rec Sage. Sage fulfilled its role for years, but the lackluster body and relative lack of utility if you didn't have a target were just feelbads when hardcasting. This is just so much better to me.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Clique is one of the most well designed cards in Magic's history and has a ton of play to it. There are few things I enjoy more in Magic that firing off a Clique at my opponent's draw step to gauge the situation/bottom a timely topdeck. It is one of the few cards that will never ever be on the...

    General Basic Lands

    Oh man, speaking of Guays, I just picked up 12 of each of the Showdown foils to make up my draft kit. They are incredibly pretty and I'm a fan of the entire cycle: They are breathtaking IRL, especially the Swamp which is one of my favorite land arts in a while. I'm a bit of a stickler for...

    General Basic Lands

    I recently completed my basic lands set, I've got 30 of each of these: It's a shame Veronique Meignaud doesn't get commissioned all that often, her lands are incredible.

    Oh man, that's heavy. Didn't really interact with him much, but he seemed like a good guy. RIP Lucre.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    The two top-end white creatures I've been running are: Sun Titan Linvala, the Preserver Sun Titan is always a solid body, 4WW makes it castable in just about every white based deck. Big body, Vigilance, and being able to buy back 3cmc and below permanents has been clutch. Fun top end card...

    General Fight Club

    Yeah, I ran Sublime Archangel a long time ago and cut it for being way too efficient and kind of boring. You just drop it and go to town with one guy the rest of the way. If they can't check it right then and there, you're gonna crush them if you've developed your board even a little bit. It...

    General Art Appreciation Thread

    These art pieces are great, but these are literally my nightmare. When I was in either pre-K or kindergarten as a child, audiobooks on tape were a common teaching tool and I remember my teacher playing and going through this book with us where a kid went all around NYC and saw dinosaurs...

    General Fight Club

    Censor is excellent, I strongly disagree the sentiment of two mediocre modes, that's just vastly underrating the ability to cycle for a single {U}. That is excellent utility in the late game leaving you with enough mana to play whatever action you might draw into off that cycle. It could be...

    General Rivals of Ixalan (RIX) Spoilers

    This card rustles my timmies. I think I'll give it a try as just a big dumb finisher.

    Card/Deck The Orzhov Syndicate (WB)

    Damn, it's really been nearly a year since I wrote that up. I think I'll flesh it out a bit more, turns out there are a lot of cards that I didn't really dive deep into. I've got a lot more to say on a number of cards. It's about time I get to a writeup of another archetype soon, it's been a...

    General The Draft Exchange

    Yeah, seeing as the majority of drafts on CT are myself and Riptide members, the lands have a pretty early pick rating. I usually snap up fixing early if I'm going a certain direction with my deck in whatever test drafts I run. It's a little bit of a challenge to wheel any good fixing as a...

    General Fight Club

    Personally I'm not a fan of green as the base color for aggressive decks. It does offer some cool cards to play around with like Vengevine and Rishkar, Peema Renegade, but I just think there are so many more interesting directions to go into if you start off with a W/B/R base and branch...

    Drafted ravnic's cube, first time in a long while that I tried out something lower-powered. Ended up with a very aggressive RW list: Ones 1 Boros Elite 1 Firebolt 1 Frenzied Goblin 1 Goblin Glory Chaser 1 Icatian Javelineers 1 Reckless Abandon 1 Reckless Waif 1 Savannah Lions 1 Town...

    Card/Deck The Rakdos Cult (BR)

    My Rakdos section is currently: Claim // Fame Fulminator Mage Kolaghan's Command Falkenrath Aristocrat Murderous Redcap For gold cards, I usually look for more interesting effects that can't be found as easily throughout the rest of the cube. Claim // Fame is my flex card, probably the...

    General Fight Club

    If you get to curve out with him in IXN draft, it's really dumb to play against because it just dumps so much power on board at once. If you're ahead and they don't have the answer in hand, you should be able to wrap up that game in a turn or two. If you're already behind in IXN draft, it's...
