    General Best designed Magic card of all time

    Sakura-Tribe Elder Stapling a decent spell to a body seems to be really good most of the time.

    General Best designed Magic card of all time

    I'm a huge fan of Tamiyo, she's probably my favorite Magic card. Maybe not the best design ever for Magic cards, but I think she's a total home run as far as planeswalkers are concerned. Tamiyo, the Moon Sage She's everything I'd want from a planeswalker. Good enough to dominate certain...

    Article New Magic Block Structure

    So happy with this change. I'm all for going to different worlds more quickly and getting more interesting cards. I've been done with Theros block since BNG.

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Constellation instead of casting would be interesting, but it seems like it would only be useful if you had a ton of Enchantment creatures in your cube and a way to bring them all back at once to stack a ton of triggers. From playing a bit of Constellation in Standard and forcing it a bit in...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Keeping up 5 mana is quite a bit for something that isn't a sure thing when you actually cast it. There's definitely blowout potential, but there's also the chance of people just attacking you with one or two guys at a time and whittling down your life total. I don't think it's good enough.

    Salvation had a leak of some new equipment. The picture is really small and kinda crappy quality, but this is what it is: Dragon Throne of Tarkir {4} Legendary Artifact - Equipment Equipped creature has defender and “{2} , {T} : Other creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X until...

    ARTICLE: How to Keep Hands That Have Lands and Spells and Maybe Some Others Too

    Love the Punishing Fire and Lifebane hands. And I also really hate that series. I like how every pro that commented on that article is like wtf keep all.

    Bauble Cube

    Lotus Bloom Glissa, the Traitor Executioner's Capsule Salvaging Station Gross. Actually, Salvaging Station + Lotus Bloom + any reusable 3 mana removal effect would do the trick as well.

    The second one looks better to me, though maybe as a 2/2. Depending on the artifacts in the Cube this might be too good since it's basically Threaten + nice body + removal assuming that you have a target on the other side. I'd use the second one. Instant speed removal is handy, but 3...

    General Beginner Mistakes

    I think it is if that's your default when designing a cube. If you like that sort of thing, go for it, but it's not necessary. Most featured cubes or "best cards in cube" lists just list out really powerful cards from Magic's history. That gives a beginning cube designer the false impression...

    General Beginner Mistakes

    - Powermax - Too many multi-color cards - Cards that are way too narrow in design - Trying to support way too many things in a given color - Unwillingness to cut a "staple" to promote better gameplay - Over-reliance on other cubes as reference As I've been making my first cube over the last...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It looked sweet 2AM last night when I read it as "Choose two creatures". But now it's just ass and terrible and I'm full of regret. This feeling is familiar. Also, it's interesting when looking back on old cards and seeing all the cool names that they used up on cards that suck.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    How many hexproof/shroud finishers are there in smaller cubes though? I've only played in a handful of cubes, but the only two that come to mind are Thrun and Inkwell Leviathan. Damn, I really wish it was just "Choose two creatures controlled by any one player". Would have been so sweet.

    Shit. I really don't know how I missed that, I seriously thought it was just "choose two creatures blah blah" and ran with it. Need new eyes or stealth errata. Way less awesome now :(
