    General Fixing Mulligans, Improving Games

    yeah i ran 20/360 in my test along with another 20 painlands (proxied a finished cycle). The density really needs to be there for them to do work in smoothing draws because they need to be in enough opening hands to fix the bad ones. Aggro decks in my cube usually played them turn two to try...

    General Fixing Mulligans, Improving Games

    I play with a variety of newish players who benefit from a little extra hand-holding, and that's definitely part of why I'm so aggressive with the paradigm. Mostly a joke though, i still have expensive cards! Every colour gets a six drop and there are even a few sevens. :3

    easy solution: cut everything over 2 mana don't you play mostly multiplayer? I've never found this anywhere near as daunting there thanks to sporting agreements to 'pick fair fights'. also if you lower your CMC mode to 3 this is mitigated a little - in my OG cube environment you'd probably...

    I'll test all three and see how they play, I guess! I was thinking about how many good black cards cost life, and the difference between Thoughtseize and basically all other discard spells. I like that sometimes the non-thoughtseize discard makes you take unplanned lines (oh shit i should really...

    this might be the least-balanced custom card idea i've had yet but would any of you be interested in a Distress that cost one black mana and one phyrexian black mana? i recognize i've basically suggested 'Thoughtseize, but slightly better". Which of these is most interesting to you guys...

    We used to do half-mulligans of 7/6-scry 1/6/5-scry 1/etc with an unwritten rule that you didn't spend too long shuffling and slowing down games, but I think i'll be switching to the new mulligan rules to lower my barrier to entry. There's already enough complexities for new players that another...

    Oh hey so it is! For some reason I thought it was just {T} to put a counter on, not {1}, {T}. Fixing is probably better and not needing to tap to remove counters probably does more as well. i should probably read cards carefully b4 i post about them but i'd probably get even less done

    Card/Deck Prison in Cube

    I haven't played her ouside of EDH (and then only against a POS opponent) but outside of some really particular environments i don't know that a tricolour six-mana creature that's sometimes just a 5/5 flyer is gonna cut it. I'm definitely going to try her in the powered 180 skeleton i'm working...

    it's been in my ULD for like six months and nobody's ever picked it though i don't have an image but there's some commons spoiled and one of them is 2U mana leak with spell mastery: scry 2 and it's even at common! god bless this format

    that's kinda been my takeaway tbh, this recent Modern price spike hopefully should finish off a set of shocklands for me. I traded like half a dozen cards and just proxied them, I'll buy them if they drop again i guess but for now it's been weird seeing all these commons and reject rares turn...

    Card/Deck Other applications for Lore Seeker

    when we've had it in we've played it as either an extra 'pack' of Cube cards or a prize booster if I had any. I'd also suggest from personal experience with a slightly different thing that you find some way to mark the face of the sleeves of your Pandora's Box cards so it's easy to pull them out...

    the rares have been pretty interesting so far, i'm excited for this as a draft experience. i bet we get some really cool cards when they dump the uncommons

    game-ruining bullshit, but I spent quite a while thinking it meant 'good rare, bad slot' (i.e. a card for Constructed, not limited)

    I'm so stoked for all this! I don't know if i'll get a champion subscription but i'm excited about the sheer mass of functionality added for example, did you know your cube now has a sideboard? or rather land binder page? also, i own ~$300/~$1600 for my Cube, which is simultaneously more and...
