mmm I did say no Planeswalkers. This one might be low power and or interesting enough to leave in. I'm trying to think of anything that has a similar ability, but there isn't anything that lets you fork for 0 mana.

If anything I think making videos is easier. You don't need to write down anything unlike those pick breakdowns. All you are doing is saying what is in your head. All the videos I made for the Penny Grid League were way easier than doing the writeups as it just happens during the process...

Enchantments and lifegain you say? Palace Siege Demonic Pact Blind Obedience Starfield of Nyx Blind Obedience may be a big strong but we'll see. Can always change it out in the end. Goal is to turn on your Demonic Pact and kill it with creature removal. Seems tech.

I agree with everything you say above about the Grid Draft format Grillo. Let's have a look at what decks everyone drafted: UB Ninjas (Aston) defeated BUG Value Grind (Grillo) UGb Flash (Melty) defeated UR Artifact Control (Kirblinx) RWG Beats (Melty) defeated WB Kitty (Grillo) BGrw Value...

Yeah, more of a dragon cube. I like to call them Battlecruiser games, as they are big and slow. Same thing really. Pretty happy with the adds so far. I noticed that Ichor Slick actually breaks the rule for removal (costs 3) but seems situation enough and is sorcery that I am happy for it to...

Decided to make a Riptide Community Cube to make our own version of the Legendary Cube since I had such a blast playing it. If you have any ideas about big splashy plays or what was wrong with the MTGO Legendary Cube, then feel free to throw some cards into the cube. Let's see what kind of...

I thought it was about time we did another community cube here at Riptide. This was all inspired by the MTGO Legendary Cube (ver 2.0) as it allows for large splashy plays, silly buildaround cards and light removal. Since wizards retired it early, it could be safe to say that we could never see...

Alright, now that Grillo and Melty will be playing their game within the next 12 hours or so, I guess it is time to reveal how Aston and I went. If you watched his stream or dug through my youtube channel you might have been able to guess. So first off, the videos: Now onto the match writeups...

I didn't think nested spoilers worked on this forum (I tried to do them on the guess the magic art forum game and never got them to work). I've been thinking about this on and off over the past week now that the Inaugural Penny Grid League has pretty much come to a close. The fun parts about...

Sorry for the late reply. Geistblast was pretty average. I had high dreams of copying a Rise From the Tides but 9 mana is a bit too much. It did let me double up on Tormenting Voice in a couple of games, which was pretty sweet. Made for a better Thoughtflare (Discard 1, Draw 4 for 5 mana)...

So a friend bought a box and we had a six-man draft. I thought since it was casual, I would try and draft something obscure. Saw Rise From the Tides after a first pick Geistblast and decided to go all in. Ones Twos 1 Rattlechains 1 Manic Scribe 1 Kessig Forgemaster 1 Daring Sleuth 2...

Actually digging deeper, it looks like they did pull it early. It's a real shame that it had do be done this way though. They could have just let it run its course then never use it again. RIP Legendary cube. You were turning into something great only to be cut down by the power-hungry masses.

I knew Aston would be in white blinky value town, so I tried to go underneath it with goblins: Realising this was a bad idea (no thanks to mulligans) I shifted to the big Mystical Teachings variant: I'm going to keep people guessing as to whom the victor is at this point...

Round 5 Non-Green: Aston vs Kirblinx The one for all the marbles. Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16

I didn't even recall them saying it was going to be up. I joined a queue thinking it was a Legendary Cube Draft, little did I know. It seems like they have tacked on the most recent changes onto the article with the changes last time (so now we have no idea what the changes were from the...

I miss the legendary cube already. Who the hell allows someone to assemble this horrendous beast of unfun: I did lose in the final though, to mana screw then Thespian's Stage + Dark Depths Combo. But geez, if this deck didn't lose to itself nothing could beat it. This isn't just Super...

So Aston and I will be playing in the finals in about 9.5 hours from this post (Saturday 9am GMT) Jason should be streaming our matches (don't think we are going to have hand cam going, it takes a bit to work). So if you want to come by and check it out please do. Appropriate links will be...

I don't it really needs to be said, but from the amount of drafts I did, you can tell I really enjoyed the format. From the previous iteration they did a good job of reinforcing the 'battlecruiser' style magic they were aiming for with this cube. Taking out a lot of fixing and mana rocks was met...

I claim this is all for research, but I feel I may have an addiction. It is just so easy to win in this thing. Another swath of decks, this time all in the single elim queue: I want to talk a little about that Mardu deck in the middle. I was getting hated out in all the colours I was picking and...

When I finally got around to replying to the post I didn't even realise that is what it could be. I wonder what would have happened if Grillo was the first to reply. I thought I was being fairly contained in my response (surprising, I know :P). All I could picture in my head while I was...
