    Yu-Gi-Oh was the most misleading shit ever. I remember when I first bought a starter deck and played with friends and I was like wait, we have 8000 life. I can't just play this giant thing and hit you? This sucks. And I can't make infinity Kuriboh? Fuck this game.

    It makes sense, many of our cubes lend to a more legacy-lite composition valuing curve and the ability to play multiple spells in a turn. This naturally leads to more 2s and 3s than most lists. Often times Inquisition has been better than Thoughtseize in my drafts just based on the sheer number...

    That is true regarding Appetite for Brains. Hitting 3s is big though (most of our cubes have the action spells starting around there). I like this weird counterspell, it's definitely interesting. I wish it had cost one less though since it's more like a weird remand variant than anything. I'll...

    I think I might try out this one. Ripping away an opponents wrath seems okay:

    It would probably work fine, but I feel like it would make it a little easy to hit your morph flips on curve each time. Some of the most fun tension from KTK Limited imo was looking for that third land to flip your tri-color morph. On the flipside, it was equally as miserable when you'd miss it...

    Love Treeternal Witnesss, more interesting than the generic dumb green fatties. You can't even Eldrazi seems like a fun ramp target. I'm loving that XUG flyer, so many different ways to play it. Get a giant dude in the later game with more colors or an efficient 2/2 for 2 flyer early, good design.

    Morph is a fascinating mechanic and KTK Limited was some of the most fun I've had drafting a set in quite a while. It really is one that requires an environment built around it to support it. You need to really reconsider the set-up of your removal, fixing and curve if you want it to be a thing...

    Nah, as far as I know, there's no conversion back to cash. It's a pure points system, each point = 1 cent, and the prices for card on the site reflect the TCG-mid listing. Best way to get value if you're looking for other cards aside from actually trading with people irl.

    I listed it under my profile and also checked up the subreddit. They had some trade thread with requests and stuff and I left mine there. Didn't expect a reply so quickly, but I got a PM just this morning and got the Sorin. I get a dollar per person that uses that link. Help a brother out.

    Guys, I usually don't advertise shit, but I've been using pucatrade the last few days to get rid of junk and I've somehow amassed like $80 credit. Pretty sure that's my Cube singles fund for the next few months. Use it, it's easy, and you can get $5 credit by just filling out some stuff...

    Zada is cool, but I don't think he has a place in the majority of our cubes. I just don't run enough combat tricks or buffs in general where his payoff is actually worth it. He's much more abusable in Standard and EDH, just not a good fit within our cubes. That sacrifice Eldrazi though? Oh baby.

    Usually not one for alters, but a friend of mine made this and gave it to me. Keeping it in my cube forever.

    The only delve creature I run is Tasigur. The others just aren't as interesting to me nor have any added play to them. They're just efficient beaters that you cast for nothing in the later game. I don't really ever wanna cut a more interesting creature in those colors for something so boring.

    I'm a fan of Ruinous Path. Sure, getting someone on their turn is sweet, but unconditional sorcery removal is just fine. Also Awaken is the latest iteration of kicker and those have always been pretty decent. Definitely trying out Retreat to Kazandu, card seems sweet on curve.

    Basically that. Story-wise, he was some human warlord who then sacrificed two of his lieutenants in some ritual to win a battle and also ascend. He made some sort of pact/did a few other rituals to become a demon, and he just went around destroying planes and stuff. Then he got to Zendikar and...

    Noah is great, love his work. I'm pretty happy about this change in the Prerelease, no more people going for one color b/c of the rares. I remember all of the Blue boxes left over at my LGS from M15. Mercurial Pretender, what a powerhouse.
