    I don't know if this is the best place to talk about it but Boseiju, Who Endures is increasingly seeming like a massive mistake to me. The fact that all green decks now get a free mainboard naturalize/field of ruin at no real cost is the kind of warping metagame effect I hate in card games. It's...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Some small changes to improve card types or simply make everything more well-rounded: Add: Lodestone Golem Containment Construct The Golem is a beefy 4-drop that fits well in a wide range of decks. I hope it boosts artifact, taxing and ramp decks. Containment Construct is very much worth...

    It's a good card that gives Boros card advantage and ties into several themes. It's good for slower, big mana decks and also more aggressive ones as a finisher. I think it's a much cooler and more interesting card than Tajic. It is very strong, though. I wouldn't recommend it for lower powered...

    Sigardian Evangel Isn't this an interesting card? You can just have a supply of proxies if needed and it seems more interesting than a straight X spell. What do you think?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    A couple friends cornered me after playing at the club and asked me when we were going to play with my cube again. On one hand, I can just take it with the improvements I've made so far and it will work perfectly. On the other, I want to keep working on it! I just saw how you can boost...

    Which cards do you like to enable or support super-ramp as an archetype? I'm curious

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I couldn't sleep yesterday so I kept thinking. Perhaps I should support Superramp and Monster decks. They are very natural archetypes and it might not take many slots to do so. I also saw people use Lotus Bloom into Tooth and Nail and now I wonder if it's a way to sneak in storm cards. Oh no :(

    Waterfront Bouncer is fantastic. It's the kind of card that is exploited on every angle: Bouncing your opponent creatures, your own and as a discard outlet. It's fun, too, so I recommend giving it a look.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Crucible has proven itself in my cube. The main reason you don't see it much is that it archetypes its best in, like Wildfire, are so well-tested that I don't have to draft them anymore. More over, the decks I test the most tend to be ones that don't want either card so they are...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Yes, the question is: Do I need to spend three slots on this kind of effects? Or is two enough for my cube size? I like the variety, for me the question is if I really need the slots. Because a green 3 is a very contested space, for example.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Question. Do I need two or all three of these cards? Life from the Loam Crucible of Worlds Ramunap Excavator I'm thinking the last one might not actually be necessary

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Ok, I'm going to start with these two very small changes: Llanowar Elves -> Ignoble Hierarch Foundation Breaker -> Reclamation Sage And then see what more I can change.

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    I don't think you need much to create artifact aggro decks. Strictly speaking, I don't support artifact aggro in my cube, it just comes up naturally. The reason is that I have a lot of good support for artifact decks in URb and enough versatile fodder that it just comes up naturally. The only...

    Nanonox's 1vs1 cube

    White was the best colour in my cube and it might still be. You have great creatures, a good range of high-quality, broad interaction and it pairs well with all other colours. You actually run Skyclave Apparition, Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile so I would be surprised if it wasn't good...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    The issue with Jolrael is that she keeps reading better than she actually is. Look at the deck you posted, there are only four cards that trigger Jolrael and one of them is a land. I've often found myself I just didn't have enough cards in my deck to support her, even if I tried. I soften find...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Talking about tribal, I don't think this card really works: Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse I feel I end up cutting her or that I run her in shells with so few creatures she would get blow up the moment she got into play.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Since my goal is to finish the current iteration of the cube, I'm going to add a few cards to round things out: Priest of the Blood Rite Cathar Commando Yawgmoth, Thran Physician The Antiquities War Yawgmoth may be overkill, but I don't know what else to add and it's a fun card. -- I want to...
