    I think we both agree.

    Maybe, but I also think that's a really lazy way to dismiss an argument. As for the above. Maybe the most people think black -> white is what transracial refers to, I doubt people use that definition for Teferi, seeing as, well, he's always been black. Well shit, I got into it.

    I gotta chime in, cause I happen to be non-white and I find this hilarious. He obviously went from being west African to east African. I don't blame non Africans for not noticing, but when people say they don't see a difference I imagine someone taking a picture of a Pakistani and a Korean and...

    Is it normal I feel way too dumb/uninformed to understand most of this? I can't even tell who's arguing against who... The only name I recognize is Jordan Peterson. I'm going to have to actually read this, rather than skimming over, and I'll have to watch the vids. Welcome back, Grillo.

    A deceptively bad cube

    Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to support it, I fear the number of additional changes. In response to the Stroke of Genius comment, I'm actually quite a huge fan of Careful Consideration, and I've been very against the idea of cutting my second one (you can see people have started...

    You might be right, I sort of felt like teachings didn't fit in anymore, but you're probably correct.

    A deceptively bad cube

    Just got the cards in the mail. Some changes as I sleeved: Ajani's Pridemate -> Heroes Remembered Flamewake Phoenix -> Hell's Thunder Colossus of Akros -> Perilous Myr These three cards were mysteriously removed and refunded from my order, before shipping, but without notice... I've re-ordered...

    What? Your cube is oversized? Customs?

    Untap, Upkeep, Draw, Sagas. You should almost never be losing creatures.

    A deceptively bad cube

    Draining WhelkWydwen, the Biting GaleHavenwood Wurm Are the only good targets for Mystical Teachings. I really like the card, and those cards, and without it, I might cut them. But this also seems quite a stretch for the theme, and I should maybe ditch the Teachings (I do count both Mystical...

    A deceptively bad cube

    Not a huge fan of Strategic Planning, but it does fit quite well. I technically only count 3 blue draw cards at 4 CMC, but the 4 hybrid CA cards at that slot really do push it. I quite like the 2 Careful Consideration, and I feel Deep Analysis is needed. I did have two Think Twice, and cut on...

    A deceptively bad cube

    Not counting Abandoned Sarcophagus + cycling, I have the following breakdown of cards castable from the graveyard: W: 2 U: 10 B: 9 R: 12 G: 7 Which might be low if people are fighting over these, I'll have to see how Innistrad faired. I do have self-mill, more in UG, but I was hoping looting...

    A deceptively bad cube

    Hm.... Out with the old, in the with new. Cube is becoming a 2.0, a bit too many changes to just modify the cube tutor list. Honestly, the driving force behind these changes is not that I think I'm making my old list better. I'm making a more ambitious, more interesting list, that I'd want...

    I'll keep it for now, the cube hasn't been drafted enough to get a good feel for it yet.

    General Lorewyn Art Discussion

    My understanding: He likes to see magic cards like lego pieces, for him, the fun is making something cool out of the pieces you get. Everyone feels that way though. The difference is a kind of scale for how much hand-holding you want. Someone might want a guide to follow to build the thing on...

    General Pick 3: Cards Since Battle for Zendikar

    My UR has a Flashback / Aftermath Burning Vengeance theme, which is opposite of what this does, but the "lots of spells in your graveyard" was a close 2nd place. Do you think it's worth switching?

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    Cut // Ribbons stood out as a very strong card in my cube. Is this behavior we want?

    You probably mean peasant, but yeah this is a thing in my cube, although I was not aware of cache raiders. Nice find.

    A deceptively bad cube

    The idea is that I split decks into Tempo or Value, not aggro or control. You either try to win before the opponent can stabilize with mana, or you win by drowning them in cards advantage. While there are a lot of fliers in blue, I feel like blue ends up being way too slow as an aggressive...
