    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    Pentad Prism is very playable in both fair and unfair decks, btw. Love that sucker

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    I have a real as-fan of dragons and I'm interested in making Dragonstorm work, but 9 mana is SOOOO much. I think it's probably easier to stick with stuff like RUG Sarkhan and his ultimate. Overall I'm pretty iffy on what storm really offers an environment (a combo deck that makes the drafter...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I haven't played the set yet, or drafted with any of the new cards. How are we feeling about our includes in the light of day?

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Another great piece for Persist combo that happens to be the same colours as Finks and Redcap, the two best (and only non-glen-elendra-archmage playable) Persisters: Rhythm of the Wild

    General Microsealed for 5 - Feedback Requested

    I really like your scoring system. I think this has a lot of promise.

    General Fight Club

    I have insane mana fixing so I run Crackling Drake. It goes in 2c decks with a splash but not 3c decks. If you have 3c decks you should play Enigma Drake.

    The Train Station

    Something I've found very successful is the addition of Academy Rector, who secretly also supports everything else you're doing with enchantments (Bargain, auras, reanimator, enchantress, and then your normal-type fatty cheat stuff with Lay Claim or the Theros gods). I thought I was just adding...

    Card/Deck Control Mirror Matches

    Maybe it's the legacy player in me but I think JTMS is pretty fair. Compared to stuff like Show and Tell, anyway.

    General Fight Club

    No energy in the cube. Slimebind was solid in retail limited but next to stuff like Chainer's Edict it feels a little TOO cute. I thought about Trapped in the Moon but I don't really want blue to have an o-ring. I do care about the cantrip. Enchantress is built around chewing through the deck...

    General Fight Club

    There really was. I never finished Mad Men and I've been doing that over the last month or so and it's just so much cohesive and good than a lot of other shows are. A lot of people say we're living in the 'golden age of television' but I think you're right that it probably ended in the mid 10s...

    The issue of a pipeline to Nazism is something that seems to have happened to, like, a third of the internet's content creators. Youtube feeds white nationalism to children in, like, a mere 5 autoplayed videos. That should be abhorrent to any thinking observer, but instead, people tell you that...

    Sets (RNA) Ravnica Allegiance Spoilers

    I found it to be pretty clunky in testing. There's a Standard deck that plays this and some number of Gutterbones Judith, the Scourge Diva and then other sacrifice fodder stuff. the mana from Priest of Forgotten Gods goes straight into a Gutterbones trigger - in Cube, this could easily be...

    General Modern Horizons

    I think the testing team have probably done a solid job making sure they don't break Modern, or at least if they do break it to have broken it in a limited and interesting way. As a Legacy specialist, though, I think I am quietly worried and also excited about Modern Horizons' impact on Legacy...

    General The Alter Thread

    Going down a card is a real cost. I like Mystical Tutor and haven't found it to be problematic. (or, at least, it's less problematic than it is useful)

    +1 to Goyf. love that dumb idiot beater, have run 2 copies in the past and would happily do so again if there weren't too many awesome green 2s

    General The Draft Exchange

    drafted the KYOOB! Started with an first-pick E-Wit (maybe my favourite first-pick ever? goes in so many decks and I love them all) into Deathrite and Winter Orb. so: aggro-stax! www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1059839[/url]"] Ones 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Bonesplitter 1 Deathrite Shaman 1 Joraga...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I was also about to suggest 'basic land card' ! Great minds......... more custom conspiracies: at the start of the game, after taking mulligans, each player gets a lotus petal at the start of the game, after taking mulligans, each player loots 1 conspiracy scroll -- {2}{W} Instant: Tap...

    The Train Station

    I like this a lot. A 10-point scale is good; granular but not excessive. There's already an existing 10-point scale for talking about cards' power levels in Limited that a lot of Magic players are familiar with, though - the half-point rankings up to 5.0 that are attached to LSV's set review...
