    General Polycubing and packages

    I probably should, but I don't. I don't think I've ever run into them locally and I've never considered ordering on the Internet...

    General Polycubing and packages

    Hey, I'm also trying to do something similar to this. For me I'm creating all the cards in Magic Set Editor (though no custom cards) and using the set symbol to denote the package. Before my cube was 0% proxy and now it's going to be 100% proxy just for the set symbols. This also allows the...

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    The Djinn is pretty sweet from a Johnny perspective. That said, it's a three-card combo that you still have to spend five mana on. Unless the entire cube is slowed down, most people are probably going to run more consistent five-drops instead. I may have to steal that Djinn though... it's...

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    I love Courser in general. It does have odd interactions between it and some of the normal Brainstorm activities. Opponent gets to see all three cards that you draw, and one of the cards that you put back. To hide something from Brainstorm, you now have to put it two cards down and can't draw it...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It is a cost, but it's also one of those things that's sometimes-a-cost, like discarding a card. Look at your cube and see how many guys you'd be willing to bounce just to get an extra go at their ETB effect (or Leave the Battlefield, for those few cards with that trigger). The higher the...

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    I'm more broadly accepting than most, but many of those I wouldn't really run unless you can show me a sweet synergy or five. Primadox gets an include because (unanswered) he just keeps doing his thing instead of doing it just once. That said, Stonecloaker is currently in my cube (it's been okay...

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    The deck I posted as a then-standard deck. There's a lot of things I could/would have done differently with a wider card pool. I was just explaining where I came to love Roaring Primadox. In cube I'd have to think about how badly the green creature restriction hurts me. There's a lot of Blade...

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    Primadox has only seen play once (one of the curses of changing the cube probably too-often), but my opponent did groan when he saw it, so that says something. My first actually good deck that I designed (note: many people designed this deck, it's not difficult, but I did it independently, so...

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    Hmm, I hadn't noticed that they were all 2/2. I looked through the physical cube to make sure it wasn't ALL 2/2s. There's a lot. Like, a lot a lot. But there's also Wolfir Silverheart Skinrender Medomai the Ageless Conquering Manticore Roaring Primadox Sun Titan Griselbrand Thragtusk

    MY EARS ARE NORMAL SIZE! If anything they should look small because my head is so big I can't wear any hats ever.

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    I haven't had a new person join the cube group in a while. I am not used to having to explain the themes and maybe I need to get better/more up front about that. I can say though that the last games we had the winning deck used Resonator to great effect and before that the winning deck used both...

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    While the power level is anything but flat, I disagree on any of them being truly unplayable in my cube. I thought the point of this site was to get away from blanket statements of unplayable?

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    As my sig says, my cubetutor is virtually never up to date. And I'm currently playing with my strangest idea yet with regard to modular cubes... so yeah. But currently it supports white and green beatdown, because that's all my wife will play. The rest of us are into oddities, so there's Grave...

    I sometimes wonder if I'm supposed to know things that you're referencing.

    What about this in a graveyard-centric cube, with flashback and Snapcasters all over the place? Shaman's Trance

    General P1P1 with Marshall Sutcliffe and Rashad Miller

    So I just went to GP Minneapolis and wanted to get some signatures. To make things somewhat interesting, I took a cube pack and had Rashad and Marshall pick their card and sign it. Now for funsies, I'm posting that same pack. Pick yours, and there's also the metagame of trying to guess which one...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I wish Grave Pact didn't cost so much black. I really want a similar effect that's playable in a black red deck where the two colors are mostly even. For not super-Johnny cubes though, that thing costs four, is hard to cast, and doesn't do anything by itself.

    I managed to move into an archetype I have wanted to support for a while, but for the first time it came together in a big way. I feel odd posting the 3-0 thread because 1) I barely lost in the end and 2) Our group does single games 99% of the time and then just redrafts, so there's no such...

    Grand Prix Minneapolis

    I'll be there. I live in the area so no need of the hotel or anything. On the flip side if there's time for it I can totally bring my cube to the Mall of America. That's my usual spot for cubing. It's a public place, accessible by public transport, and anyone looking to nab cards isn't gonna go...

    Convoke makes all the inspired guys a bit better. Unfortunately it's one-shot and there's only like one or two good Convoke spells that I'm aware of. Paradise Mantle? Okay, I'll admit, I like Pain Seer in general and have thought for a long time how to make him good in a constructed deck and I...
