Again, the explicit message of the top-right image and the bottom image together is: "black people should not protest police violence." Are you saying that this is a racially- and politically-neutral position that isn't in conflict with the movement for black lives?

I wasn't going to comment, but Onder, the picture shows on the one hand, BLM members protesting over police indiscriminately executing black people, and on the other hand literal Nazis. It suggests these two positions are exactly the same. I.e. that "police should not be able to kill black...

I've never really enjoyed core set limited, but M21 has been an absolute blast to draft. There's enough archetype cross-pollination that the drafting process itself feels very non-linear even after you've ostensibly locked into a theme. I'm constantly finding little synergies I hadn't...

I cast a /lot/ of Mageta the Lion when I was a kid. Fond memories!

I personally found your last breakdown super helpful. For one thing, the way you forced yourself to have enough themes for each color-pair ended up naturally revealing certain cross-links (e.g. I think oath reanimator ended up being under Selesnya even if it's only because you couldn't figure...

In my current cube iteration green is pretty heavy on spell velocity, but mostly creature spells. Usually the bottleneck to velocity is mana generation. In blue you can increase your spell to mana ratio with something like: Frantic Search Cloud of Faeries and green kinda does the same thing...

my thesis title "The Meme Cat and the Historical Cat: Essays in Digital Ontology"

I've kept it in for a long time now because it feels like the potential for something fun is so high but it's only ever been a trap for us so far. Usually either doesn't do anything or you would have won without it. Only cool board I saw was together with Sai, Master Thopterist and a bunch of...

Alright, I have a starting sketch: https://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/142165 I've intentionally not tried to wrench it down to something really tight while still in the early stages. I'll be doing a remote draft this weekend to get some preliminary data on how it plays. Meanwhile...

This looks like exactly where I would start for a typical black white synergy section in a riptidean cube. But that's not the feel I wanted this particular list to go - I love Lurrus, but it's not quite right for this project. He's a 3 power lifelinker for 3 with an ability that doesn't feel...

I made three very dumb blue decks: Ones 1 Amulet of Vigor 1 Ancient Stirrings 1 Candelabra of Tawnos 1 Crop Rotation 1 Expedition Map 1 Ponder 1 Sakura-Tribe Scout 1 Spore Frog Twos 1 Cloud of Faeries 1 Dryad Greenseeker 1 Everdream Threes 1 Azusa, Lost but Seeking 1 Dryad of the Ilysian...

Did a remote draft over the weekend. Going in, I remembered this thread and Selesyna without a splash has historically been a rare color-combination for us. I gave it a go and ended up having a great time. I think like Sigh said, there's enough cool stuff in Selesnya to have a spread of basic...

Is there space for a food mini-package to help span lifegain, artifacts, and sacrifice across green? Maybe the clunky nature of the tokens and gaining life is not worth it - depends on the speed of the environment I guess. But getting those Fangren Marauder life bursts sounds sweet. Start...

Okay I put together two Orzhov lists (I decided not to aggressively cut down to 23 cards to leave more potential includes for building the starting cube list). At the bottom I'll put some other cards I'm considering. There's probably room for a great combo sacrifice deck, but that's been...

No, I was totally gonna do Orzhov but July was about the time when my workload approximately doubled and it's been pretty rough to find time/energy since then. But I guess now at the end of the world it feels reasonable to revisit. Besides these two decklists are super inspiring. In the first...

Love the card selection you've got going here. I figured I'd give it a whirl and see if I can give you any ideas. I'm probably going a bit too weird for where you want this cube to go so... free disposal. I started by thinking maybe there's a less combo-y, more aggro +1/+1 theme. Might play...

This is perfect, very well said.

I've been working on putting together some version of "aggro" for my environment. I roughly envision this as meaning decks that are low-to-the-ground and pressure the opponent's life total. I started the move last September and in the last couple months, I've struck upon 3 themes that I'm more...

I'm very sympathetic to this. I had one too many narrow artifact support cards and since those cards were concentrated in UR it made it less natural to run artifacts outside that color combination. I may more drastically cut back on "artifact only" cards in the future to let people focus on...
