    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    He had fun. It was a nice casual, social experience for him. Afterwards he was asking if we would be drafting once a month, and sounded excited. If there had been competitive brackets and shit talking, maybe he would have had a bad time, but you guys were all great. MTGO went smoother than I...

    The Penny Pincher Cube 2.0--Inventors' Fair

    There seems to be issues with the recording for the match vs. aston? Thankfully, it seems to have worked itself out for the part of game 3, right before the engines come online (19:31 in the vid), which tbh I was hoping that you would record. I knew something sweet was going on when I heard you...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Have you had it come together? Would be cool to see. I drafted this cool looking deck in your format, but didn't have the balls to run the double primodoxs, because I wasn't sure if casting and recasting splciers was too slow? www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/878160[/url]"] Ones 1 Chronomaton 1...

    That looks hot. I was also thinking some of the new explore creatures from Iaxlin--feeds the gy at the same time and all that.

    A deceptively bad cube

    yeah, what you want to do is include more 2/1 flyers for 2. You'll want those to power the ninjas anyways. skyship plunderer spined thopter looter il-kor Are pretty big cards for that deck, that I run. Ninjas like tokens, shadow creatures, buffs (equipment, bestow, auras), flyers, and...

    A deceptively bad cube

    I'm not sure what to suggest about the aggressive blue creatures in U/r and U/b. There are some more 2cc evasive flyers or shadow creatures you could add (to carry equipment), but for U/W you say already have enough flyers? Whats going on there?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Yes, thats all true. Both perspectives on the card can be true at the same time. All I'm saying is that people are really bad at judging probability, and that even if they judge it correctly, they may not even care. Thats pretty much to be expected, and something to think about when deciding...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Eh, it’s about the same. Especially if you run interesting build arounds, people wants to play those cards generally, and will shy away from interactions that could prevent them from playing them. I know you didn’t say this, but I want to stress that it’s important not to frame this way of...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think you would ideally want fetches in the mana base. In a singleton format, no one wants to accidentally cuck themselves by sending some critical card to the BOL. I know my drafters would be shy of it for that reason.

    General On clones

    I think metamorph feeds more into our discussion of artifact section philosophy. Since artifacts require no color commitment, they are strategically better first picks. Pushed, or even just strong artifacts are often times the "correct" first pick, over anything else in the pack. Should we...

    General Optimal Draft Variants for Less than 8 Players

    I think I am going to experiment with this, and let you know how it goes. Really interesting topic, and something that I think could help a lot of people. I've seen this for years where players design cubes around the assumption of 8 players every draft, but the reality is that attendence...

    General On clones

    These ones look interesting, mostly because they take the effect out of blue, and make it more universal mirrorpool soul foundry mirrorweave Mirage mirror I might experiment with mirage mirror, now that GPG has been taken out. Mirrorpool looks like memes, and its especially nice that you...

    General On clones

    The only problem with clones is that they tend to be generally good cards, so they don't always end up getting to the synergy player. That being said, rite, followed footsteps, and prog mimic are all cards that people enjoy playing. Maybe followed footsteps is the card I should be looking...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    That looks like a brilliant card to try, if you're in a slower format that wants the consistency that tutors bring, but don't wish games to be reduced down to executing tutor sequences behind a removal wall. I really like how its another card that puts the emphasis on library quality, and the...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    I'm going to talk to my players tonight, and see how many I can recruit. Its a little awkward because thats 10PM our time, but I might be able to get a couple. I'm thinking maybe 3 from my group, +you, that should give us a good base to plan around. I prob won't be able to get them to hop on...

    Its probably fine as destroy, if there are color pie issues? Card looks dope. If it existed in the real world, would prob be mythic or have a higher cost?
