    It’s like if you run a 360 card cube but 12 people turn up: pull out your second cube and split into 2 drafts of 6. If you have a 20,000 card cube and more than 444 people turn up, you’ll be glad you brought that second cube.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which card most resembles your worst nightmare?

    Thespian’s Stage I used to do a lot of amateur acting when I was younger. At times of stress I have a recurring nightmare that I wake up, having slept through all the rehearsals, and have to go on stage not knowing my cues, lines or movements.

    Which Riptide smilie would best express my amused embarrassment?

    Has anyone played the Arena Cube? There seems to be a bug where if you target Sublime Epiphany in your graveyard with Torrential Gearhulk’s ETB abilit, your opponent is thrown out of the game before the ability resolves.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Worst card to lose to & best to win with?

    With powermax cube you risk only having powerful cards to put on the deck. I’d be more annoyed in a Riptide cube where I get three fetch lands put back because it’s okay to break singleton.

    Light-Paws may not be the wordiest Magic card ever, but is that the longest sentence?

    General Weekly Fun Q: Worst card to lose to & best to win with?

    I’m waiting for Jeskai Ascendancy: the Movie. The card art looks like a poster of a ragtag band of misfits who learn to put aside their differences and defend their home from the evil Sultai horde.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Worst card to lose to & best to win with?

    Favourite to win with would be something like Sign in Blood but Foreboding Fruit or Fell Stinger would be just as good. It amuses me to give my opponent two cards but allow the life loss to finish them. Worst to lose to would be Scute Swarm also Pack Rat or Sprout Swarm. Anything that...

    Onderzeeboot’s response got lots of likes. Think of your comment as the pass that set up the goal.

    From your cube description: “Very few planeswalkers and other easy engines”. Whilst Bitterblossom can be used as a synergy card (for example with Smokestack, which is in your cube) it tends to warp games around it if unanswered. It is similar to Pack Rat which, though also a discard outlet and...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I agree with blacksmithy’s analysis. I don’t even think there’s a lot of agency on modes I and II - you can usually judge whether an opponent is likely to have mass removal, and by turning any creatures into mana dorks it is usually correct for your opponent not to hold removal back. I do think...

    Thanks for the insight, Onder. The list you link is interesting. Startle was the only “real word” card name I could see that had a set-specific mechanism (Decayed).

    Conscript is a sweet design, but how has it not already been used as a card name?

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which Magic outfit would you wear?

    It’s a bit like Topsy Turvy in that regard. I once had it in a deck with Capsize for an infinitely long turn.

    Wow. I’m never going to complain about Magic art, frames or graphic design ever again.

    General Weekly Fun Q: Which Magic outfit would you wear?

    But that one was ten days after the first, so Velrun is averaging once a week. Anyway, I have a fondness for overcoats (my main one is 1938 vintage, and weighs about 3.5kg). A lot of pirates have nice coats, but I’d probably go for as his coat is nicely understated.
