    General Fight Club

    I really, really like Sphinx of Jwar Isle. People call it boring, but it reliable ends the game in a non-mana intensive fashion. Basically every other 6 mana finisher "goes over" it in terms of power, but I'm not usually looking for "game turn aroundingness" in this spot. The fact that...

    I'm not too entralled with arbor. Green Sun's Zenith is already a massive card, it really doesn't need to be llanowar elves on top of everything else. I think most people are happy with enough running mana elves as is, they don't need them to have every single green creature in your deck as a...

    I've played a lot of Dominion and its a decent game. Its not my usual type of game, but its very playable. I can usually stand 3 or 4 hands before I get bored. They key difference between Dominion's lack of theme and Weiss Schwarz lack of theme is that Dominion presents it theme as being...

    If you've ever wondered about the question: "How much does a game's theme matter?" I suggested you look into the game Weiss Schwarz. As someone who is really into games, I find this title strangely jarring. If you've never heard of it, Weiss Schwarz is a CCG. The premise is that you make a...

    I am generally disinterested in party games, but Balderdash is pretty fun. However, Eat Poop You Cat has replaced it as my party game of choice. Bonus points for being 100% free.

    It isn't that rare. I would never put the card in my deck for the express purpose of casting that side of the card, but once in a while its relevant. Sometimes a shitty green lava axe is all you need and when it isn't reanimate is a decent place to be. Note: I haven't run the card in years.

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Changed my mind on this. Getting a little burnt out on decks with ridiculous mana. Going to try a 540 with lands straight in Probably going to be 100-110 lands in the list, so mana will still be great. Speeding up the draft process is also a big consideration here. Should be playing on...

    Selling Indonesia last month for $200 is really looking like a good decision.

    I'm not feeling fiery confluence for the above reasons. If a player stabilizes outside of bolt range, that should count for something.

    I don't really like the goggles, its not what I want from 5 mana. Starfield of Nyx is really where I want to be with do nothing 5 drops. Daretti, though, is pure awesome. He digs so deep. You don't need to build around him at all and I don't think the red artifact deck relies on him, but...

    I'd love it if we could take a lot of the sexual baggage out of our language. I hate how in order to talk succienctly I usually need refer to people's sex even though its usually more likely to damage the conversation (by bringing up irrelevant connotations) then add to it.

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    I'm gutting my list again, probably be down to around 400-420 cards not including lands. Will probably try to bring it to 450 when all is said and done. Still going to draft lands separately and have new ideas on the issue inspired by an idea my friend came up with, will expand upon in a...

    Shun Yun is explosive, but mana intensive. He offers huge rewards for playing risky/narrow cards like spectral flight or shadow rift, but you need to find openings because if you go in at the wrong time its even more of a blowout because you lose the two extra mana on top of everything else...

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    So, my last draft was kinda shitty and I did some cube composition analysis to see if it was just a bad split or if there might be a problem. It turns out that I'm running way too much removal. Like, not even close to where I'm looking to be. At some point, I wasn't running enough removal, so...

    My thoughts. There are no eldrazi cards here because I hate them. Tier 1 (Definitely buy, almost certainly have a spot) Oath of Jace: While it has less raw power then Compulsive Research and less synergistic explosiveness then atunement, Oath of Jace is a good compromise between the two...

    This is a fuckton of lifegain for the cost on a card that actually does something.

    For a one mana premium over Bonesplitter, you get an attacking dude instead of +1/0. Seems pretty interesting.

    Really not sure about "Generic Value 3 drop". Seems pretty Kitchen Finks-esque. Brainstorming something stupid on top in response to it dying is going to be insane. I guess I haven't fully comprehended the opportunity cost of the colorless mana symbol yet. You can't fetch sources for it or get...
