    that's why it would ideally be a cooperative project with cubetutor

    i tried a game while mescaline cactus kicked in once. it became harder and harder to see the competitive point of the game. eventually i started just discarding things eot instead of playing them (or even cycling them as it was an astral slide deck) because i felt like i was already "safe and...

    RipLab Marketing

    imagine this: i'm in a thread where someone is talking about Blink and i've never seen Goblin Settler before. i hover on it and a box comes up with not only the card image, but a box alongside where i can see the % of cubes that run it, its archetype tags, and options to "add to my cube...

    any kind of deal you can strike with cubetutor would be a huge deal. it's THE hot site so anything from cross promotion to integration (update my thread and cube on tutor at the same time for instance) would be hugely beneficial.

    Site News Introducing Matt Kranstuber to the RiptideLab team!

    i'd been hoping to see you around here kranny. to land you as an admin is downright exciting. i had kind of disappeared from here for a hot second while fantasy football started to cut into my Cube interest, but this is invigorating news that makes me want to do the primer work i've been neglecting.

    Site News Riptide Lab Road Map

    glad to welcome you, kranny! got to be honest, you're a "big get" for this little site. good things brewing here. : -) for the love of god restructure the site. i argued it then and i still think it now; the reddit style scroll down list of threads look is ugly and unproductive as fuck

    Card/Deck Supporting Pox

    my room mate and i were smoking this morning and magic talk lead to analyzing a random pro tour top 32 from 99 and i realized i hadn't included oath of ghouls which is probably worth testing as a redundancy for oversold cemetery. this is a cube weekend for me, and as those are rare (as is my...

    Card/Deck Supporting Pox

    tbh those are some of the more notable"anthems". enchantements don't get much love from r&d, so now creatures like sublime archangel and company have dominated that design space. there's a few interesting enchantment anthems like muraganda petroglyphs but for the most part they're on the lower...

    Card/Deck Supporting Pox

    thanks! stinky is a good call! i'll skip the wildfire primer then, cause the more people start working on these the faster we can get them all presentable and bundled in a pretty list of links for the aspiring cube designer/ player

    Card/Deck Supporting Pox

    i agree about death cloud. i don't run it and i think it's too expensive and clunky to be a lynchpin like Pox itself is. i can also agree that too much triple black can be bad for your format. i try to avoid triple colored as much as possible and have very few left in my cube. black does end up...

    i forgot goblin bombardment and mortarpod! thanks! not at all! in fact i think your points deserve inclusion in the primer itself. a sort of "what if i run a Modern Cube?" section. if you don't mind of course

    i could provide you a couple dozen links about why abstinence only education is toxic and dangerous to people, costs everyone more money, doesn't work...ect. i don't think that's gonna help though

    General A neat idea for testing...

    the rosewater/forsythe regime lost sight of that a long time ago though. and now cube designers are going along with the new ridiculous power levels without stopping to questioning it. so frustrating to watch

    General A neat idea for testing...

    good read. i like that line about distinguishing "good for and good in your cube. i'll probably start using that now when i explain my banned list to people. (pssst....there's a "he's" where there should be a "his" just above the wall of reverance pic)

    Card/Deck Supporting Storm

    it is, and your right. this in its current state is more of a designer checklist than full primer. i still intend to put a lot more work into these before they are what i would consider "done". i mostly just want to get the skeleton and gruntwork of listmaking done to get people talking and...

    Article Rethinking Red

    i recently added Blasphemous Act to try to help out Red controlish decks (usally wildfire based).i like that one a lot and am always on the lookout for more "big red" stuff. i also support storm and sneak attack, so i like to think that red can be versatile without becoming inconsistent at...
