So we're giving advertising a second go on the site, because hey, there are bills that need to be paid. Yeah, they'll uglify the currently-quite-pretty forum templates a bit, but that's kinda the price we gotta pay. If you're a regular here, or even if you're just a lurker who has benefited...

It's pretty well established at this point that both Innistrad and Theros blocks have been universally excellent for cubes of all shapes and sizes. But what about Return to Ravnica block? After having more than a year to soak, any standpoints or disappointments? Sphinx's Revelation I don't...

I didn't get to play any games during the draft. But I might as well get some use out of that $50 draft recap button that Jason commissioned on drafts.in. Jonas did this for us a few months back, and I had a hoot reading through it, so I figure I would pitch in this time. So here it is, the...

I'm gonna start with the premise: the die roll matters in cube, and it matters quite a bit. Without any hard statistical evidence in my back pocket, I can't tell you exactly how much it matters. But I've seen enough anecdotal evidence over the years to tell me that it's not an insignificant...

We'll be undergoing some site maintenance over the next day or two to make some changes with our hosting provider. There may be intermittent site outages as a result. We should hopefully be back at full capacity soon.

Fireslinger Cunning Sparkmage Vithian Stinger Like their close cousins, the tappers, the pingers are slightly (read: super) annoying in Limited, but almost never make the jump to Constructed. (Save for a brief period where Stoneforge Mystic and Basilisk Collar formed an unholy alliance with a...

Gideon's Lawkeeper Goldmeadow Harrier Tappers in white are traditionally pretty (read: extremely) annoying in Limited, but are next to unplayable in Constructed. Do they do anything in cube? Lawkeeper keeps bouncing in and out of my list, but I never really paid attention to whether he was...

Yes, yes, we know the Titans are all amazing and game dominating. After that, though, it seems that the power level of sixes across Magic drops off a cliff. I noticed a huge hole at six cmc in my own cube, and I could use some ideas. What are some unconventional but effective six drops that you...

Anyone going to be coming up to the GP here in two weeks' time? Calvin and I are most likely gonna be there on Saturday. Would love to meet any of you folks on here if you're going.

Jason and I are backing off a bit on our original stringent "No Signatures Allowed" policy. We're thinking that, when used in moderation, signatures can add a bit of personality, and perhaps help readers to see the person behind the posts. No images for the time being, but URLs are fair game. So...
