Given everyone's well-documented love of Modern Masters it seemed like a good starting point for a less powerful Cube, where interesting ideas that can't compete in a power-maxing Cube have a chance to shine. We have fewer constraints to work under than WotC did, not being bound by release dates...

Now that we've had time to digest the set, the consensus seems to be that Theros was a very disappointing set for Cube. To a degree this was inevitable - our second trip to Ravnica spoiled us as much as the first, so Theros was bound to be weak by comparison - but the more fundamental problem is...

I think I'm in love.

Currently looking at this for Standard: but I'll be looking intently at this after M14 comes out: and experimenting with this for Modern: CML needs to get his Martyr-loving statist ass in here so I can sing odes to Vizkopa Guildmage.

Here we discuss individual cards in more detail than the passing mentions we often give them in threads. I'll start: Man, everyone loves Young Wolf Wild Mongrel! What a guy. Wild Mongrel's a card I'm going to be a running a full pack of. It's one of the premier 2-drops not just in green...

I'll do a proper writeup and introduction for this in a week or so when finals are over, but I want to put this here for now to get people's first impressions. I want the finished product to be smaller but this is full of ideas I'm considering. Current project (as of Feb 2014)...

This thread is for ideas you want to discuss but which don't really have a place yet, and to collate these ideas in one place so that discussion doesn't have to span multiple threads; once an idea becomes more fleshed out and worthy of its own thread, it can graduate from here. To start, fun...

It looks like the Core Sets are continuing to be excellent stand-alone sets. We've only had about 1/3 of the previews (including lands) and there's already a few cards to discuss. Liliana's Reaver Creature - Zombie Deathtouch Whenever Liliana's Reaver deals combat damage to a player, that...

In a lot of Cubes, Red is probably the least interesting colour: you can make a R/X aggro deck, you can sprinkle a few burn spells in your control deck, and - if your Cube supports it (and not many do...) - once in a while you can draft the Wildfire ramp deck. Meanwhile, every other colour has...

This is an idea that Jason (iirc) floated on the Google group but was never fleshed out any further. I think it's worth discussing though, even if only as a thought experiment. We've all run up against the problem of having to cut borderline Cube-worthy cards from our lists so as to not dilute...

So, if you saw the Cube that I posted on the Google group a while back, you know that I enthusiastically embraced a lot of what Jason was trying to do, from the general ideas to copying some of the specific subthemes. However, a lot of the stuff I want to support, either by doubling up on...
