Jumping off this discussion... has anyone (other than Brad) built a cube with skewed fixing? In other words, a cube where some 3+ color combinations are easier than others? I think I've brought this up in the past in the context of a "classic Modern" cube, where there's a draw towards building...

I like the idea of Orchard Strider a bit more, honestly. But why not... Krosan Tusker

You also probably run better mana fixing than 90% of the rest of us. :p But yeah, I agree that Lier is way swingier than Kess. She also turns off counterspells entirely, which is kinda lame.

Are your borderless cards generally build-arounds?

It's also arguably the prettiest land in the cycle (I also kinda love the Mountain).

Quest for Renewal Oh, hey, look, it's basically Wilderness Reclamation. ... Looking back over this thread, it feels like this "archetype" is more like Wildfire than anything else — it doesn't necessarily create a new deck, it just transforms one that was already there by giving it an...

It's mostly just a me thing. I have weird eyes.

I think the new frame generally looks better, but in this specific case the art matches the muddier frame better. And, on top of that, the old border one has a cleaner text box. Not great for actual play, but prettier for display.

Yeah... I think Old Border Timeless Dragon looks way better, but I'd probably run the other version in any deck where I hadn't gone out of my way to solely run old border cards.

If I was putting them on a shelf to look at, sure. But if I'm playing a game, I want the board state to be as clean and easy to read as possible.

I knew a guy who swore by using two dice for every pile of tokens. The first die recorded how many untapped tokens there were in that pile. The second die recorded how were tapped. He never gave me a satisfactory answer to the whole "what if someone bumps some of the dice?" issue.

I'd hate to play with your cube, Ravnic — having miss-matched card frames for non-lands gives me the willies. ... That came out wrong, sorry. :oops: I do feel like having a different frame for lands is actually a good thing, though (as long as you can still identify what color they're...

I think it really helps that we're a forum dedicated to a creative, non-competitive aspect of Magic, and that our uniting design aesthetic is "I want to run interesting archetypes in my cube. How do?"

You're lucky you didn't contribute, Humpty. I think it's the only forum I've ever seen where most of the mods seem to stick around just to do mod stuff. Hell, I think some of them have never posted anything that hasn't been a mod action. There's some weird power dynamics, is all I'm saying.

My guess is that it makes it really easy to accidentally mix in your "token" card with the cards in your deck. Or, even worse, if you both get distracted and the card gets knocked over... hey, how'd he get here? Cheatyface

Giant in the Playground. I made an account back in 2010, and I still bum around their roleplaying section from time to time. Mostly because it's a bit of a trainwreck, if I'm going to be honest...

I'm on another forum where the mods would yell at you for even suggesting C. It makes conversations awkward.

I seem to recall that someone on this forum built a "beginner" cube with no tokens and no counters. I can't remember who, though.

Replace the basic land box with ABUR duals and fetchlands. Why do anything half way?
