I write as unprofessionally as possible. Words are just fun. Also I have an incurable flair for the overdramatic. My actual profession is as a programmer. I rather hope to have a chance to dip my toe into web services while I'm here. Glad to be the purveyor of chuckles. 'Tis a noble honor.

Oh dear, was that my cue? I currently reside in northern Virginia, not too far from DC. I first played cube as a side event at a Super Smash Bros. tournament in the area and it was a blast. I remember imprinting Austere Command and Fireblast on a Panoptic Mirror, losing badly to a Karn...

When artifacts are just one of many themes you're trying to push, you need cards that are already playable on their own but give extra benefit to the artifact deck, sometimes for subtle reasons. Depending on what your curve already looks like, Galvanic Blast, Kuldotha Phoenix, and Indomitable...

I've always been a big fan of Carom for its extreme flexibility. Killing Birds of Paradise, saving your creature, and drawing a card is actually a real thing that happens, but then you can also cycle it as long as there are at least two creatures in play... I think its best case is on par with...
