    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    First, I've enjoyed the thread on the UR artifacts archetype and I think I'm going to change Blue a little to put the key cards in. Note that Blue still hasn't been revamped from scratch. IN Golos, Tireless Pilgrim Retrofitter Foundry The Antiquities War Urza, Lord High Artificer Platinum...

    It does stonewall aggro, I remember a couple games in draft I faced it and would have lost if my opponent had been a little more proactive with it. The ability to stop one creature and kill more with its ability is strong. That said, I'm less worried about the effect it has on aggro as I am with...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I took Nanonox's advice and didn't work on the cube for a few days. When I came back, I felt I came back to the problem with a better perspective. So it was great advice, thank you! First, I'm going to revise my green top-end to look like this: IN Titania, Protector of Argoth Pelakka Wurm...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    No need to apologize! Criticism is welcome, and that includes what doesn't work with my cube. Your thoughts are interesting because they mirror concerns I already have. - I haven't been able to get Replenish/Rector to work and I'm not sure I can get an enchantment theme going while...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Attacked? Not at all! Think about how much better Magic would be if all colours had access to mechanically-appropiate card draw or removal and how the cards you have put in your cube work towards that goal :) Still, I'm a bit tired of working on my cube. The main issue is that I mostly test by...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Really, if I start running custom cards soon my cube would be 80% custom or slight variants! Still, I'm extremely happy with how 20 Fetches, 20 Duals have turned out, I've been thinking to increase to 25 Fetches or add another 5 mana-fixing lands.

    I'm jealous, today I was looking into pauper just to be able to play a Baron-like deck with Stream of Thought.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I claned up my lands and now run these 5 utilities: Wasteland Rishadan Port Mishra's Factory Mishra's Factory Ancient Tomb I'm a bit thorn about replacing the Port with a second Wasteland to better support aggro, tempo and Crucible of Worlds but I don't want to punish splashes and three...

    Sin Collector, no doubt. What I like about it is that it combines raw usefulness with synergy. He's cheap, easy to play and easy to put in a deck. You can play him in control, aggro, tempo or midrange and make your deck more interactive. In that sense, he provides quality of play to the cube...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Hey, Nanonox, thanks for the suggestion! I indeed have, at least some of them. While they are fine cards, I've found them a bit weird. They are like guild cards that go in two guilds but I never felt as comfortable running them as I would with an actual guild card. Warden: Played it for some...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Some random thoughts: Two sets of fetchlands and two sets of duals have been a massive success. They have made drafting more tense, more interesting and the decks more varied. There's this fear that very good mana fixing leads to drafters just "picking up the best cards" but I haven't found...

    For me the biggest deal about this card is that, if it exists, there must be some kind of graveyard support in white in this set. The problem I have with white graveyard strategies are not the payoffs, but the lack of discard-matters spells at all

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I'm not sure of the right cards or amount of archetype-support that would be best, but I think I'm going to try this: First, I'm pretty sure I want 3 "big mana" artifacts: Worn Powerstone Thran Dynamo Gilded Lotus I'm also sure I want Mox Diamond. It's not the same type of card, it's...

    Very nice video. I want to say: Love the production values, you have gone a long way since your first videos :)

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Ok, since we are talking about durdling, let's talk about a card that is neither high nor low in power, but simply...interesting: Elixir of Immortality (Spoiler: I really like this card, even if people play it in the wrong decks)

    The art is fantastic, a shame the card isn't great.

    I keep looking at the card and it just looks so..wrong. Why are the Phyrexian mana symbols so much larger than the 4? Oh no, I just realized hybrid mana symbols are also larger than normal symbols. Sorry everyone, the game is broken.
