    General The Idiosyncratic Component Obession

    I've never had an issue with proxies before. I've also never met anyone in person that dislikes 'em and wouldn't play against someone using proxies outside of tournament play. I also have come to understand that I don't want my budget limitations to interfere with my friends enjoyment of my...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    Searing Blaze does looks cool. Going to my Test Queue :D Since I don't want this post to be extra-bland, I'm also going to list at what I'm looking at cutting for my unpowering of the cube (and subsequently, all cards that are underpicked/underperforming that would aready be going in my next...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    @Jason: As soon as I sit myself through some of the ideas and need that I have when playing with my list, I'll compile my thoughts and start a new thread for us to discuss these things ;) Right now I have something in mind with venn diagrams for multi-purpose cards and some automatic stack-rank...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    I could see any cube having Gravecrawler, Tombcrawler and Crawler of the Grave in their lists :D I was thinking of something pretty much like what you said, but I still haven't figure it out how I want to visualize that data. I'm also planning on how I'm going to fine-tune the information...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    Eric, thanks for the suggestions! I haven't kept track of the percentage of removal spells that I have available for a while now. I guess it would be a good idea to integrate this in my spreadsheet along with a few other minor functionalities that I was thinking about. I don't really want to...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    Since I never get any feedback from my MTGS thread, I might as well bring all stuff here (which more than makes sense, since I spend more time in this forums than on MTGS cube section). In the near future, I plan on bringing every single piece of data from my thread there, including data from...

    Cube Tool How do you want to enter a cube list into a computer?

    Looking good! Just a question: Why are you saving space just under the quick add button if the card addition is hidden? Not sure if this would be too hard, but I feel that it would be a bit better if the hidden stuff from quick add pushed the table below and didn't lock table interaction. Maybe...

    Joraga Treespeaker also grants you 2 mana on turn two to cast Superion ;)

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Mox into Delver into upkeep Brainstorm seems quite powerful to me :D I wouldn't play with so many 5 drops, though. You had some really cool sideboard stuff.

    So, when are you posting the next draft?

    Article CML Drafts the MODO Cube

    I watched the first three videos and I almost puched my monitor about 3 or 4 times: First one was when Marsh Flats was passed, second one was Jace over Elspeth (if Marsh Flats was picked earlier, could even try to splash it), then playing Gloom Surgeon over Oona's Prowler (good with the ninjas...

    600 Unpowered, Lower Curve, No Planeswalkers, Synergy Leaning

    No idea why I had the Titan there, but there was some logical reasoning when I built that list. I guess it was because game one I could better survive against control decks and side it out if I needed more speed or something. Either way, Opposition control would definitely be the best way to...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Equipment

    @CML: Dude, drop that MODO cube! Drafting it won't make it any better and will only make you hate abusive cards more and more :p Maybe it's just in my list, but Body/Mind has been the one that always hits harder and ends game more consistently than any other swords, especially against...

    Forum signatures

    Isn't it possible to just limit the number of characters and disable img and spoliler tags in the signatures? You could even try to make signatures default to aligning to the right or center so they are not always in the middle of the conversation. I mean, at least so far most signatures have...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Equipment

    I'm not sure if things would go exactly as you are saying. Most people who plays swords are very aware of the impact they cause on games. The thing is: a) Their impact is relegated because there are other powerful cards with swingy effects in their cube. b) The environment they are played...

    600 Unpowered, Lower Curve, No Planeswalkers, Synergy Leaning

    On a second note, it does looks like the lack in fixing makes up for the huge amount of things going on with the cube by making games run a little longer so things fall into places, but if the games are supposed to take a while longer, I think that big finishers like Grave Titan and Wurmcoil...

    XenForo Skins

    The way I see it, it would be between PixelExit and the current. BluePearl has way too many details and looks too noisy and SoftResponsive looks bland and adds no real interest to the forums. I voted for our current one because it looks better on higher screen resolutions and looks cleaner...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    On the bullet points: Yeah, I'm going to have to test these cards out and see what happens. I think my next iteration on my test pool will be radically different from what I am trying out now. Good thing is that I won't need to make cuts until I have the cards tested and approved and by then I...

    Hey! Took a good look on your list and runned a couple of drafts on cube tutor and I really can't say much about your list yet. I think I should have played with your group to give better advice. This is what I came up with in a draft after a first-pick Arc Trail...
