    General Balduvian Trading Post(s)

    Ferret dug up a really sweet post while we were jamming on Cockatrice, something about divvying your deck up into two piles, one 'mostly lands' and the other 'mostly spells', and players would draw from the pile of their choice. I wish I'd kept a link, but I'm sure at some point he'll be able...

    What about Phylactery counters? I don't have any designs that aren't awful but I feel like it's an interesting design space. Phylactery Lich

    Yeah but then I'd never use my Scissors Lizard / Paper Tiger / Rock Lobster set

    pucatrade is sweet, most people will be selling off draft stuff hoping to turn it into Eternal playables, which means that if you wanna offload one or two Standard roleplayers for a buncha old draft commons it's more or less perfect. You want the PucaPower javascript extension if you're going to...

    2-1'd (due to absurd mana issues, i straight crushed all my rematches) the modo pez cube again with mardu aggro. No real synergy, but Boros Charm, Blood Artist and Brimstone Volley were MVPs. now i'm 7-2 in the cube for matches and 22-7 in games. peasant is fun! 4-man draft (with packs of 15...

    Conan, what is best in life? Gambling for Reanimate, discarding your Griselbrand, and hearing the lamentations of your Villain.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Gamble is a weird card. I've played it in Constructed - Jund Depths (great) and an Aggressive Mining brew (terrible) - so I feel kinda qualified to speak to its strengths but tbh i'm a scrub who knows nothing so caveat lector Gamble is pretty strong. It's a powerful tutor that sometimes just...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    oh hey if we're talking about LSV vids, check him out in the VSL with Fastbond/Doomsday. Not saying very much but he turn 1 kills game one and it's beautiful, g2 is much closer but still almost no contest. god i love doomsday (match starts at 8:04)

    Flashback back-to-back drafter's hat 'this or that'

    This seems like a fun forum game, and you're all lucky I stopped the title as early as I did. Here's the idea: 1. Go to your saved decks on Cubetutor, and sort by date (oldest first). 2. Pick an early draft you don't really like; whether that's an archetype you've gained critical distance from...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    If you don't run rituals it seems like a fairer 'fair yawg will' but if you do, or have several strong cheap spells available, it's incredibly dangerous. That's my opinion, anyway. Plus, the flashback on Past in Flames is one of the bigger reasons to play the card imo, it gives you a redundant...

    General Is this a deck?

    i like to put a good card with another good card in my decks but i'm old fashioned like that. Stromkirk Noble already has some pretty relevant evasion on him in many limited environments, I don't think waiting until turn 4 (turn 3 with a mox!) is necessary
