ignore what i said and do this

Big fan of inner sleeve bottom left corner colored dot stickers for solving these kinds of problems. Unobtrusive and simple to understand. I'd go with something like black/blue/white/grey or something to make it color blind friendly (which set symbols AREN'T ugh)

I'm gonna try to find some time to attempt to do this using nothing but cards from my bulk boxes.

admirable that you've decided to up the ante on this challenge from "eat a single magic card" to "eat an entire sheet cake"

bro if train doesn't eat this fuckin siege rhino I am demanding a recount

I got interviewed on Recross the Paths this week :) https://open.spotify.com/episode/2zCOq4QmRH9sAsGiufkeP6?si=fe524e3552a24bae

The way the randomness on Stormbind actually plays out is that you play it in an aggressive deck and use it to finish out the game whenever you top deck lands or other useless cards in the late game. Or you can try to high roll with it, or build around the downside, or go for a bunch of...

I think I'd take Waterfront Bouncer here, it just has this like inherently bullshit quality to it and it also lets you do cool discard payoff stuff if you can make that happen. Here's a pack from a similar cube I'm working on:

Yeah my approach to this is to just give green good sac fodder that plays well in any green deck and then allow players to draft green alongside black and/or red to do sacrifice stuff. Stuff like Strangleroot Geist and Viridian Emissary are good for this. Turntimber Sower is also interesting but...

Here's one I've been having fun with lately: Jack in the mox This card initially appears like just a dumb non sequitur joke but it's actually a pretty great parody of the way that fast mana functions in magic. Takes the high variance of fast mana openers and rubs your face in it and lets the...

Fwiw since nobody answered I would say on average it is probably stronger than Call of the Herd, but doesn't fill the same role. Call of the Herd is like the ultimate midrange curve filler thing since it's always a 3 -> 4 if you need it to be, and it has the extra flexibility of being a meh 7...

I think you mostly just want to think of the card in terms of card economy. In a slow enough environment where you expect the flashback to get paid more often than not, the card is essentially a very slow 8 mana 3-for-1. So you gotta decide if that's what you want players to be able to do or...

no I think watching brad battle demons on his cube blog is a core feature of the site and shouldn't ever be changed

this shit rocks i have no notes please tell me how the fuck you pronounce "Isdodyakh" when you talk about this cube out loud

This is probably gonna be the only set I scrub through the whole card file this year.

I don't think this kills magic for me since I think my investment in cube will stay exactly as its been, but the stakes here are basically "how much fun is it to keep up with new magic releases and the game as a whole instead of just doing my thing" and we are rapidly approaching "not fun at all...

I think you should try it this sounds fun. I think worst case scenario is that it's a dud and whomst among us doesn't have a few duds in every draft.

There are many other options for this type of guy if you think conscript is too good, are you already running any of the other ones? I think Dread Wanderer is a pretty solid slightly less good one of these.

I think it really depends on whether or not you want your aristocrats cards to be playable elsewhere. I really like including cards like Cult Conscript and Bloodsoaked Champion because they can go into the all-in sacrifice deck, or they can just be a solid 1 drop for an aggro deck that...
