    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    Since I had all my files open to make the post above I thought I would look through and post some of the highest posts before 2015 (as there really isn't enough to warrant their own thread) Pre-2015 most liked posts (10 Likes) 1. Tom - I Built a Box! 2. Suicufnoc - Vinelasher Quirion...

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    I'm fine with ruining the magic mystique (at FNM they call me the crusher of dreams). First a little backstory: So a while ago I had a domain and hosting I had purchased (fruitlesspie.com, now defunct) just some university assignments. After I had finished the assignments I wanted to see what...

    Site News How to participate in a RiptideLab Draft

    No, it is rather painful too. You can either add a 1 to every line on the text file, or you can do what I did and pass it through another program (I used tappedout.net. Copy and pasted the text. Then exported it to MTGO). I create a binder everytime I do a grid draft, as when you trade they...

    Card/Deck Three Colour Cards in Cube

    One of my favourite ever wins was by my Battle of Wits deck against some poor opponent playing mill (yay, auto win?) although I was struggling at one point when Consuming Aberration came down. I managed to remove it and resolve a Karn. At that point I was exiling cards from his hand as there was...

    Yeah, I should have forewarned about the possible incoming of alerts on 6 month old posts. :p My post was only ~30 minutes live before all my like counts were screwed around (it is hard not to like some of these posts though once you read them). I want to give some props to the following...

    General MODO Cube Redesign

    I was surprised that no one wants to talk about the latest updates to the Legacy Cube™. So I thought I would necro this thread to see what others think of the changes. They were posted here but I will give you a breakdown of what they changed to save you giving the mothership another page visit...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Yeah, you really did come from MTGS peasant cube forums, as that was pretty much the one card they unearthed that wasn't standard power-max. I am a big fan of the card. I did a quick search and I seem to be the only other person who has tried to talk about the card. There isn't really any...

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    I wondered what the posts were throughout the year that the community liked the most. So I decided to make a web scraper to find out this data. I wanted to write up a top 10 or 20, but there ended up being 21 posts with 11 likes or more, so a top 21 it is then. Also be aware that I...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    So, I am terribly late to the discussion, but thought I would throw my thoughts into this matter (since my name was being thrown around). The Skeletal Vampire did indeed save his bacon. He was getting beaten down by 2 3/3 flying golems. That was only source of air defense at that point. Grave...

    Article CubeTutor Champion Contest Champion

    Thanks for picking my entry! I feel it is like most of my assignments I submitted in university; Quality documentation can save a mediocre result. While I am not saying my entry was mediocre, there were a fair amount of missteps now that I look over it again. Probably because I was on a high...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    So, after all those Penny Pincher Grid Drafts I wanted to help contribute to your cube in some way from my own experiences. I know you got a decent amount of data from you watching all the games but I wanted to throw some more your way. I was wondering what I could talk about, as I wanted to...

    Kirblinx vs Modin: Non-Black Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    I'm not entirely sure what you did wrong there. Here is your deck after extracting the URL: Yeah, I had a Krosan Restorer out at the end of that game. You can see it on the video. I forgot to mention it in the writeup (it was rather long and didn't know what part to leave out to make it...

    Kirblinx vs Modin: Non-Black Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    Just for you Grillo: Be wary, there are several things I am not a fan of in this video. It goes a bit too fast, there are some lag spikes, half the chat is chopped off and is silent. Other than that, it is a good enough representation of what happened that game. If you want me post any others...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've given it a try in my cube (which is extremely rough and only been drafted once, you have been warned) and it fit into a UB control deck. It worked well as a finisher of sorts, as once the board is clear every threat from there on should cost them more mana to cards than it will for you to...

    Kirblinx vs Modin: Non-Black Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    So, we started with a fairly uninspiring first pack into a draft that many which-ways. Pack 8 I had real trouble deciding which way to go (it was my first pick). I somehow ended up in a value splicer build after picking up the Ghostly Flicker early and hoping to get the combo. The mnemonic wall...
