    Boom // Bust For those of you running lots of fetchlands I would definitely give this card a try. Also, as part of my recent 'cut all the aggro cards and replace them with gold cards' kick, I've been liking: Sedraxis Specter

    General Two Thoughts on Cube Design

    I like most of this. I would caution that, while players indeed mostly don't give a fuck about the structure of the Cube, you have to be somewhat aware of the expectations that a perceptive drafter is going to have/acquire. As designers we're omniscient regarding the contents of our Cubes, and...

    General Battle Box

    Early thoughts: - With guaranteed land drops each turn your hand fills up very quickly, so you need a lot of cheap cards to a. dump your hand more quickly, b. have more decisions to make on any given turn, and c. ensure your basics/Guildgate sequencing actually matters (e.g. if you have...

    ditto many of the Level Up guys; really anything that lets you incrementally spend spare mana

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    I love Courser. I just love lands in general, especially anything that lets me play extra lands or lands from different (/erogenous) zones. Oracle of Mul Daya is delightful. Halimar Depths for the land draft? Valakut with Prismatic Omen or Scapeshift in the Cube?

    Play Lavamancer with the Torment art, play Spikeshot Elder too (it's got a lot better with Bestow if that's your thing)

    Card/Deck The Heartbeat Deck

    Capsize is clunky and slow unless it's absolutely dominating, which makes it really awkward either way. Genesis Wave is a really fun card, but I'm wary of including the less powerful X spells or the really expensive mana sinks (Eldrazi) when they don't fit in normal control decks.

    Card/Deck The Heartbeat Deck

    I've always had a soft spot for mana doublers, being one of the few holdouts to still play Mirari's Wake. Sadly, 5 mana of multiple colours at sorcery speed is a lot to commit for that effect, especially when the tacked-on Anthem is often irrelevant; sure, you almost certainly win if you untap...

    General How do YOU plan to use the various Conspiracy cards?

    the worst part of this thread is easily the 'YOU' in the title the actual 1U Twincast is sweet though

    General Color matters / devotion

    Betting is a mechanic of the game. The game is configured to have hidden information in a way that injects an element of skill. That's a feature of the game, not a byproduct. A form of poker in which you always won by having the best hand would be dull (and 'having the best hand' is entirely a...

    This is absolutely not true and I'm surprised to hear you say it.
