    Sounds good! My point of view is that the submissions should be given the opportunity to stand on their own merit, rather than being skewered examined in place.

    I'd prefer the articles as-is, and commentary in the comments, for what it's worth?

    General What are the failings of the MTG cardpool?

    One problem for us as cube designers (sort of) is the constant retreading of the same ground, due to how magic as an actual product has to be designed. Each set white, say, will get some dinky creatures that have some sort of synergy, some boosters for their army, and some hook into the...

    I nominate the one most advantageous to those in the UK.

    I'd totally write something if I had any idea where to begin with doubling stuff up, and any sensible way to test ideas (lack of playgroup :<)

    General CBS

    Is equipoise hateful? I'm guessing yes, because you get to target their biggest threats, or at least their biggest walls.

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Maybe we're overloading words too much to be useful then. I did just dig up this thing, which indicates Wizard's aim of Aggro → Midrange → Ramp/Combo → Control/Disruptive Aggro, although I'm sure there's another article which lists this as 5-fold with control -> disruptive aggro. It seems like...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Without irony, not try and force traditional beat-down-from-turn-1 agro? Is it possible to make things like ludevic's test subject, calcite snapper, etc to stall early game, then bounce/whatever their early game and convert into big threats?

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    What does a cube have to look like for 1 power one drops to not be embarrassing? Is such a cube desirable? [pick your favourite real format] clearly has 1 power one drops and isn't awful, so something is going on here.

    Also, delver presumably slots well into the guttersnipe/young pyromancer/spells thing.

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    On cantrips: It seems to me that if these are in your (delver) deck in cube, they're there for flipping delver and just barely smoothing out your draws. So with your 15 cantrips, of which 13 are in a draft, of which you can get, like, 8? If you play them all, then you can spend turns and mana...

    General Color matters / devotion

    So far, devotion is only on permanents. There's plenty of space we haven't got to yet.

    I hate everything you like

    I'm on a 9 game losing streak in dota. Hmm. This is me hating a thing I like. I still haven't got this thread figured out.

    I hate everything you like

    I don't like the idea of utility land drafts, but couldn't explain why if you asked. E: wait, am I doing this right?

    The OkCupid Experience

    If you have the ears down, you aren't a manly man who is manly. Some ushankas don't actually have the flap down, even thought Russia has like -30 winters, because fuck not being manly.

    The OkCupid Experience

    It turns out that the hat that I wear I thought was called a trilby rather than a fedora, but it turns out that what the internet collectively believes to be a fedora is actually a trilby, and I wear a fedora. Today it was cold so I wore an ushanka (or уша́нка) instead. I also own a panama hat...

    The Book Thread

    They are (were?) mostly stand-alone, but there's a couple of sub-series; I think Guards! Guards! is the first of the Watch books, so you're fine there. Of course they're not bad out of those sub-sequences, but you lose some of the context. I'd recommend not starting with the earlier books, as...

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    I need to prep for D&D next weekend. It's mostly done, but need a bit more planning in case/for when the players go somewhere I've not planned for. Also, Dota.

    The OkCupid Experience

    I wear a fedora :< Of course, I wear a fedora because it's fucking classy and it goes with a button up shirt and a jacket, not because it's "cool"; I may be 50 years out of date here.
