    Sigh, a Cube

    That post pro-tour Hollow One hype. I feel like half these cards have doubled in price :\

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    Probably a bit late notice, but do people want to do a draft this Saturday, I guess at the same time (21:00 GMT)? I would have done it next week but I am going to be away, so half a weeks notice or 2 and a half weeks notice. I only need to get cards back from one person (Gozmit) so it...

    Tea for Two

    How do the infinite combos fair in your cubing experience? I usually find them a bit unfun, as winning out of nowhere is a bit harsh. Splinter Twin/Kiki-Jiki/Saheeli Rai combos are the ones I am referencing. Two card combos that win are a little harsh. Also, how many of these cards would see...

    So we didn't get a full draft, but it wasn't a complete failure. We had 5 forum goers come and a random was hanging around on dr4ft.com, so we had 6 humans and 2 bots. The users were: Kirblinx, Safra, Taamas, Gozmit97, McMenno We played a couple of games, I played against Gozmit and McMenno...

    General Rivals of Ixalan (RIX) Spoilers

    Felt like a control deck of days of yore. Just remove everything you see that is a threat then have a hard to hit beater (Soul of the Rapids, Slippery Scoundrel) and watch them squirm. Also, can I just mention how great Warkite Marauder was. Made for a decent clock, and also managed to allow...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    Yeah, that is fine. I'll still be up around that hour. Still want to do a trial run just to see how painful it all is. Can just run bots for all the empty slots, do a couple of games and call the experiment complete. We'll try again in a couple of weeks, unless people are keen to try next...

    This is what I drafted last weekend... Have I mentioned that drafting triple small set is weird?

    I think we may get close to getting a draft to fire. No one has said definitely, but these are all the people who have given some sort of indication they can/may come: Kirblinx Suicufnoc Grillo_Parlante Jonas Taamas McMenno Safra If we do fire, I think the only person who would be streaming is...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    So how about trying this weekend, on Saturday at let's say 21:00 (9pm) GMT? Even if we get six, at least we can trial to see if everything still works (draft.wtf no longer exists, need to see how dr4ft.com works). If you could throw a possible confirmation in this thread or the discord...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    Some of us already do this over on our Cube Blogs. These are usually my favourite posts on the site and I throw them a like whenever I see them. I don't know if it is worth having a whole thread dedicated to match write ups, but since this thread gets more views than the cube blogs then maybe...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    So doing a bit of a bump on this, as we have a MTGO account with cards that aren't being used. Plus it would be nice if our community got some content made for the world to see. This is obviously just a pipe dream at this stage, as when we tried this a couple of years ago we could never get...

    I feel like you wouldn't even need the temporary mana unless the game is lightning fast. Wouldn't the best course of action just be to choose 2 empty mana crystals for the first 2-3 turns then just start drawing 2 cards a turn from there onwards? Also, wouldn't this only really matter for the...

    FFTCG Max 5 Backups (land) Any card can be discarded for 2 mana of the cards colour Have to pay to play Backups (max of 5 in play at once) can tap them for 1 mana of their colour So most decks have a decent variety of backups they can play and the first turns consist of playing the backups to...

    So I have been enjoying the Final Fantasy TCG and seems to be a well structured game here is how it works with your analysis. FFTCG Restriction: Fairly functional to Magic Attacking: Can only attack players, can attack in groups, attacking done in stages Defending: Can block with one...

    Well, Wizards has no idea what they are doing but all of these cards are in the Vintage Cube: Mesmeric Fiend Kitesail Freebooter Brain Maggot So to answer your question... You need to be EXTREME HIGH POWER to run the Freebooter.

    Link has been fixed. Sorry about that. Have to do all the links manually and sometimes my copy/paste clipboard gets a bit muddled :p Alright, now to get on to: Posts Per User in 2017 So this is pretty telling when compared to last years stats. In 2017 there were only 5,959 posts made...
