James: I used the Magic back sleeves when they first came out. They were ok, but became damaged and/or unpleasant to touch quite quickly. I use them for a smaller, secondary Cube, but mainly because I'm too lazy/cheap to find something better.

Really like Shapeshifter Whelp and Brass Cave.

The Eldrazi Spawn theme looks awesome. If I build a C/Ube or something similar, I'll definitely give it a try. I imagine the extra 1/2 a card counts for nothing because it isn't a 'full' card.

The thing about Standard manabases is that they can't be partially designed to fix mana: most of them consist of 12 duals + 12 buddy lands before they even consider the Innistrad spell lands or anything else. In Cube, even if you take as much fixing as you can you'll only realistically end up...

wow, Rain of Daggers looks sweet. If my Cube was more creature-centric, I'd play that thing in a heartbeat.

I wasn't seriously considering Reaver, I just wanted to post a M14 thread and thought talking about just one card would be a bit pointless :P

Some fun ones from the MTGS card creation contests: Primal Avenger 4RG When Primal Avenger ETB, destroy all nonbasic lands. Put a +1/+1 counter on Primal Avenger for each land destroyed this way. 2/2 (could probably be reduced to 5 mana?) Master of the Oven R R, Sacrifice a permanent...

Yeah, I've never understood why a lot of Cube designers want people to have to jump through hoops in order to have a decent manabase. Casting spells is fun! It's neither enjoyable nor skill-testing for one player to not even be in the game because their 9-8 manabase doesn't come through. People...

v3 is an abortion but people have got used to it; it's a mark of how bad the new client is that people are comparing v3 favourably to it. The trading system is clunky and inefficient, deckbuilding is harder, the interface is clumsy, and the gameplay is confusing: there are things moving around...

Absolutely love Gracewalker.

idk, I've found myself souring more and more on cards that don't do something immediately. Sure, Master is good if it lives, but the same could be said for a lot of cards.

...Chris is praising a Wizards product?! When can I expect the apocalypse?

Here we discuss individual cards in more detail than the passing mentions we often give them in threads. I'll start: Man, everyone loves Young Wolf Wild Mongrel! What a guy. Wild Mongrel's a card I'm going to be a running a full pack of. It's one of the premier 2-drops not just in green...

Nice, welcome Matt!

New list (different Cube on cubetutor) here: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/740 I think 540 is about the right size, so some stuff needs to go. As much as it pains me to say, taking out the Storm stuff would bring the size down and make the Cube a bit more consistent overall... but it's...

I'd rather run Vivids over trilands but I'd make an exception for Murmuring Bosk. A fetchable wedge-land is sweet.

Warden of Evos Isle Creature - Bird Wizard Flying Creature spells with flying you cast cost less to cast. On Evos Isle, the swift and formidable aven enforce the will of the ruling sphinxes. Illus. Nils Hamm 2/2 It's a narrow and marginal cost reduction card, so naturally I'm in love with...

PMed it in article form to Jason.

I'll touch this up tomorrow (today? idk anymore. Time is a foreign concept at this point) and try and make it suitable for the front page.
