    It's because Britta is the worst.

    General Terrible flavor texts

    Goblin Chieftain They dumbed it down so hard. Fuck that M12 flavor text writer.

    General Fight Club

    Thunderbreak all day. If you run any of the other dragons, it's cool to see him carry some extra value. That free bolt ends up being more relevant than you'd think. Adds some excitement to the 4 slot in red as well, we usually get some version of a 4/2 or a 3/3 that grants something to the team...

    General Modern Masters 2015

    Yeah, I'm with you on new Serum Visions. From the angle on the art to flying grayish liquid to the look of surprise, it's too easy to make that leap. I have no idea why they decided on this art. Definitely going to be popular in Japan though.

    COMPLETE Custom Sets that are cool.

    I've always loved the idea of custom sets and what they entail, but I can never get around to actually playing with them. Having a certain familiarity with a set/cube is what makes the drafts/deckbuilding so interesting to me. Having direction is key. I wouldn't mind a few custom cards here and...

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    I like the design of the two of them, prefer Persecutor though. It's fun trying to craft the deck in a way that you'd have an out to your own creature. I've had games where I was praying to top deck a kill spell or sac outlet just to win the game. DD is definitely worse if you support decks that...

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    He's the best. I've usually casted him at 4, once got him out at 2 which was pretty nutty. From then one he's basically a Goyf that can regrow a card for you with each activation. He's probably staying in my Cube forever. I'd ditch Grave Titan and not look back. It's just too much value. I got...

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    If we're going by 6+ drops, then recently we've gotten: Dragonlord Atarka Dragonlord Silumgar Soul of Shandalar All of them are pretty solid, way better design than something like Wurmcoil or the more oppressive titans. The real improvement in Cube imo has been the increase in number of...

    General Battle Box

    Nice box Onderzeeboot. I remember seeing the Battle Box article when it popped up and it looked interesting enough. Your list seems like a good starting point to work off of. I've had a Peasant Cube sitting around as a WIP for the last half year but never really got around to actively building...

    Card/Deck Three Colour Cards in Cube

    Yeah, that's generally been my problem with tri-color cards as well. Too often they end up being shoe-horned into a certain kind of deck due to the color restrictions. There's not much wiggle room there. I've only made concessions for Ascendancy and Sidisi because they're just so sweet. I...

    General Modern Masters 2015

    Seems like a decent Limited environment, but the set is pretty garbage. I was really hoping to pick up some of the more expensive commons/uncommons (wtf Serum Visions) but they've held back on quite a few. I'd really hate to be the guy who ends up opening jank rares after paying $40ish for a...

    General Winnowing? aka Gatherer is still broken

    Geez, how garbage is Wizard's team that works on the website? Gatherer has been shitty for nearly a year. What the actual fuck.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    I'm running: Thunderbreak Regent Icefall Regent Dragonlord Silumgar Thundermaw Hellkite Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury They've all been pretty solid, giant Sower is pretty fun. I had Dragonlord Ojutai and he was pretty interesting for a bit as a dual finisher for Jeskai and Control decks. He...

    Card/Deck Three Colour Cards in Cube

    I've just laid them out on a mat in the middle of the table whenever I've run it. I keep all of the lands in a deck box, just bring them along whenever we actually draft. We just hold off on it until the end of the real draft and just snake draft it for 3 rounds. It's not such a big deal if...

    General The Pro Tour Sucks

    Props CML sweet deck! That was a really well-played Top 8, especially against that Collected Company brew. Did that guy just not count up correctly when he YOLO'd that all-in swing?

    But, it is Sultai Reanimator b/c he's playing Standard. With a 15 card sideboard to boot haha.

    Well, CML's definitely having a positive experience right now. On camera for the quarterfinals of the SCG Portland Open. http://www.twitch.tv/scglive/
