for a combo of fun and price you really can't beat the u/r combo decks in modern of which there are three 1. Nivmagus elemental aggro/combo. i play this from time to time on mtgo. it's intensely fun, very fast, and if you can afford the erayo, soratami ascendants than i think it's actually quite...

i left the game for the ~3 and final time a couple of years ago. after years of brewing decks that sent my team mates to nats, day 2 of gps and such i was finally just too fed up. wizards had altered the fundamental makeup of the game so much that it didn't even feel like the same game i had...

i wouldn't say this is true in every cube, just theirs in particular. with so many cards in the format and so many unplayable cards there is virtually no way to assemble the appropriate density of enablers your archetype will need. so the oddball powerhouses like dream halls and shelldock...

while i agree with the overall sentiments and most of the details of your points, i disagree on the shelldock. i think it is an important card. by itself it's just some card, but for multiple archetypes shelldock was part of a whole class of cards that keep getting the boot. storm, reanimator...

mostly ramp because it's just better than every other deck in their cube. this wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't for how i keep ending up in it. at the start of drafts i'll usually stay open and pick on a combination of power and flexibility because i don't trust the people around me to...

i'd like to take this opportunity to say that i find your viewpoints very refreshing, and it's one of the things that made me want to hang here. very few people are willing to talk about things like the toxic culture of the game, and WAY fewer have the insight to actually saddle wizards with...

one of these days i'll probably do some drunk posting and that will be an ideal time to post my ranty story about why i hate cedric phillips, and the companion story "how my room mate got some modicum of revenge upon him at an Origins convention 5 years later". but i rarely drink so that who...

omg fucking kill me this modo cube is such garbage i've spent all day losing to terrible decks : -/ it's just depressing to draft with these scrubs knowing shit like "this mono red aggro player just beat me but i know for a fact that they let a sulfuric vortex table".

General Bullshit Thread chit chat, chit chat I get faded and hang out in chat threads, hope some of you do too MTGO Cube is back is back up tomorrow! Lord knows it's a pile of shit excuse for a Cube, but I just can't help myself I'll be playing it anyway. I may end up streaming some of it with...

e: here is the code to use this image [*URL=http://www.mybannermaker.com][*IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FQte34p.jpg[*/IMG][*/URL] remove all *s it's just a shitty banner maker site creation, but feel free to use it for now while I wait for real artists to get back to me about a custom banner. e2: if...

That was me. Just trying to be proactive. Already messaged you and Eric the password. e: there's a gmail too because I wasn't sure if you'd set up one yet. The.Riptide.Lab@gmail.com in case anyone has occasion to use it.

Tinker: I run Darksteel Collossus and Platinum Empirion. Platinum Angel was pretty dissapointing, and I run a very low power cube, so I can't recommend it personally. Blightsteel would probably be "better" than Darksteel, but I don't want infect in my format, and I certainly don't want a...

Talismans are different because you can only get one color at a time out of them, and almost as important is the fact that you'll often find yourself tapping them for a colorless. Paying one life for the colored mana doesn't seem huge, but lots of decks already pay life and that shit adds up. To...

Understandable to keep things centralized for now, I'm just an organizational freak so my mind jumped to it immediately. I'd love to see the google group, but mostly because I'm a nosey fuck. Which brings me to another thing, please god tell me no here cares about profanity and adult...

You have a good point about Coalition Relic, and while I still run it in my Cube I would definitely agree that it is an extremely powerful card. I doubt I'll cut it any time soon but it's more about it being a personal favorite of mine. I like most of your choices as well, and I'm glad to see...

Make a thread and take signups man, I'm sure you can get people together for that.

Yeah, it sucks that such a large percentage of the cubing public can be so dogmatic and reactionary, but at the same time our positioning as basically 'heretical' also acts slightly in our advantage. If we have a reputation for being out there it will probably help keep us from drowning in white...

I've got a touch of the Flores self-promotion in me ; -) I'll be keeping this topic in mind, and I'll bring up ideas as they come to me. Having a forum already established as "home base" and a Great Name(!) really help to get things rolling, and I intend to try to help establish this place...

Good points ITT on Chrome Mox. I've loved this cards since its days in Type 2 of turn one chrome mox, great furnace, slith firewalker, attack, go. mountain , molten rain, go. And that really is where it shines, in aggressive (preferably mono or mostly mono) decks. You want to cheat on mana...

There has been an outright aknowlegment iirc by wotc staff that they are "aware [the licensing program] is something people want" and while they claimed it was something they definitely wanted to work on, it didn't sound like anything that would be happening in any kind of immediate timeline...
