Liliana also looks super sickly in those first three cards, whereas Professor Onyx looks like she's eating three meals a day, bathing regularly, getting time to relax, not being tormented by demons, free of ancient cursed artifacts, etc. ------- That is some heinous alternate art. Actually...

It was, but the key difference is that with Tragic Arrogance YOU choose what lives, whereas Single Combat says that you choose what of your stuff lives and your opponent chooses what of their stuff lives. So it's a lot worse :/ The "can't cast more critters" bit is nice, though!

Danny Trejo is super into Magic, oddly enough. There was a commercial for Arena with him and Day9 a couple years ago. Edit: (actually)fixed the link.

Sorry for the double-post, but I think we're not quite seeing eye-to-eye here. I've played a lot of RPGs, not just D&D--Champions, several branches of Fate, Shadowrun, Lancer, Everyone Is John (yeah, definitely not another game I'll play again now that I look back at it. But an interesting...

A lot of us who've started cubing within the last year have our cubes solely digital due to *recent events*. Plus, there's also the argument that buying singles isn't buying from WotC (though if you look at the economics you totally are, just indirectly).

Oh, absolutely--everyone I've met in person playing D&D is wonderful, and I've been playing for closing in on two decades now. (Yikes.) I was mostly talking about the people who write the sourcebooks, who seem like a fairly small group of people predominantly made up of middle-aged guys who have...

Echoing what Onderzeeboot said, that's really foul. I knew that D&D was a crusty old boys' club, or at least had guessed, but had no idea it was that bad. Thanks for writing this all out, LadyMapi and Japahn! I agree that the tactical puzzle in D&D gets really boring after a while, which is part...

Okay, I have to bite. What is it about 5e that chips your teacups? I've never played it, but it seemed like 4e bones with 3.5e meat over them. For reference, I played a small amount of 4e, a lot of 3.5e as a kid, and in college I either played 1e (yes, really.) and something that was half...

Again, don't want to put words in people's mouths, but I think that the joke just came up because the image was displayed in the thread. Given Velrun's casual tone and the professed lack of belief in the joke, it seems reasonable that this was a spur-of-the-moment observation that Velrun found...

I think the joke is that the art of Chromatic Star shows, from top to bottom in the right, blue, green, white, yellow, red, and "black" light. As five of those colors are the colors in Magic, it implies that the star is changing light of any color into one of these colors. Yellow's inclusion...

Foulmire Knight is kind of crappy, yeah, but its crappy in a way that a lot of decks are happy with it (lower-level depending, of course). It's a one-drop for aggro, if you like that sort of thing, and the deathtouch makes it an effective roadblock in slower decks. You can run it out on turns...

BRB, revising my mental image of Robber Baron Jason Waddell with his twisted scheme to profit off of all fifty people in the cube community :) For real though, things cost money and I happen to like this thing. It sort of feels like not tipping at a restaurant or jamming out a street musician...

This probably isn't quite the right thread for it, but oh well: I use an ad blocker and want to chip in a couple dollars to server costs in lieu of disabling it. Is there a good way to do that?

What are some common pieces of advice/common heuristics about Cube that Dom thinks are misunderstood? In the same vein as Aston's question, what are some themes Dom thinks are underutilized? What themes are overused? What is it that makes a Cube great for him? (Originality, depth of gameplay...

Hey, Nemo, that's a gorgeous mockup, so much better than my copy-and-paste monstrosity! What program did you use to make that? I especially like how the frame is uniform all the way around. If it's a custom frame for MSE, would you mind sharing it with me, please? I'm thinking about proxying...

That's a good point. Let me rephrase that to "Bone Miser has a much higher ceiling than the Lamia, with a somewhat lower floor." Lifelink is good, but a 4/4 for 5 without an ability that helps it win in combat is behind the curve for most cubes I've seen, at least in terms of attacking. The...

That's a great article! Frankly, I wish there was a frame with the clarity and brightness of the M15 frame, as well as the artist info, and yet the heft of the lines of the 8th edition frame. There's definitely something I don't like about the rounded lower corners, and I'd rather just have them...

I know I'm about to complain about readability of frames in the TSR thread, but while those mockups are lovely, there's something about how the mana symbols and text boxes are integrated into the art in the Japanese versions that makes me go nuts for them. Is it possible to make an Opt and a StP...

Agreed that the Lamia is likely better at actually doing things, despite it being a weaker card overall. The last line of text can also do work in UB or RB, maybe even GB.
