    Sets WOTC - Shadows over Innistrad Cube All-Stars

    Already tried it, card isn't good enough as is in a typical Riptide list. I haven't tried yet but I suspect etb shoot a creature for 1 is enough eratta to make it playable. Card is good but you can't afford the *tempo* hit in our cubes to cast a thing that doesn't affect the board for 1UR.

    You may be right, I'm just really afraid of the feel bad that is having it sit there all game never triggering again. But you're likely right that just looking at it as a 5 damage burn spell that I may get to rebuy probably still makes it worthwhile. I didn't know about the karador! Is that the...

    Article Rethinking 'Rethinking Red'

    Good article. Chiming in real quick to say that if you run customs and also still run champion of the parish, type shifting the tokens into humans is pretty cool. Don't make it an instant like I did though. Surprise 1/1 -> 4/4 champs aren't cool (unless they are in your format)

    General please critique my (first?) Doomsday article

    The Zenith line made my ears perk up. What other interesting stuff is possible if one of the cards in my DD pile is elixir of immortality ? Is a non-combo, grindy value plan viable? Obviously it's worse than just winning, but maybe it's an interesting space to explore?

    General please critique my (first?) Doomsday article

    Does it say something about the riptide aesthetic that so many of us like to write asides in parentheses? I wanted to be really meta and find a way to add an aside to this (I guess I just did) but I thought it'd sound forced. Oh right, feedback. This is dope and I agree we need to discuss other...

    Yeah, I know how MDT feels though. I posted to gripe last week when I was the one waiting days on end for somebody to kick the ball back to me. Let's all just agree to not feel snubbed if we end up in that boat then? :P

    "Better for cube" and "more balanced" are two (possibly related, but) different things. Let's take her argument to the logical extreme. We're saying 1 is more balanced than 4 right? What if my entire 360 is Runeclaw Bear? Environment is totally out of whack. Green decks are busted AF amirite?

    I don't think we've had enough. I've been meaning to do another one soon, just started a new job the past couple weeks so I've got a bit less time than normal.

    Thanks a ton! :D I've been doubtful lately about whether lab man and forgotten creation are worth their inclusions. Seeing it now though I think it's totally worth spending two slots, especially in blue, to allow something like this to be possible. The next thing I'm looking at is whether I...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    Excellent thread. This is something people should be making conscious choices about, and I think that decision isn't immediately obvious when sitting down to make a cube for the first time. That said, despite having a very casual playgroup, I've opted to never sacrifice my intended design (not...

    Such a fun draft!!!! The Khans of Alara cube really does evoke Alara for me, which feels especially nostalgic as ARB was the set I started playing magic in. I think I have some options with the build but this was my rough cut: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/532565 the draft:

    I'm glad you enjoyed it that much! I really like drafting yours as well, glad I get to do so again. I think the greed is pretty well balanced out with the way you pivoted all of your duals off of green, and shored that up with the mox and the DRS. I think if you play careful with your lands and...

    http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/532288 deck is weird and good and cool. I built out my first version of it as this sort of aggressive midrange tokens thing. The card quality is so outrageous though that it could easily sideboard into several other builds. I dig it.
