Good link. I would agree that most Riptide cubes fall into the 'midrange' archetype, which is the style of play I generally prefer. There's a lot of other good articles on that blog too. I particularly like the one about green card quality spells.

It is cool, but my brief experience with playing with cards that you had to record stuff in the middle of the draft like Paliano, the High City are that they're way more cumbersome than they're worth. Of course, that was during the stretch of time where I was doing a lot of drafting in bars, so...

Thanks. Had me worried there for a second.

This card is super cool. I don't know how good it is in a 2 player game, but I do know Council's Dilemma is way less awkward in a 2 player game than Will of the Council.

Huh. I also like the card, but I find that I've used the Unsummon ability way more than the Remand ability. Interesting.

I've played a cube that did this. It made the game way less fun, actually. Since you never had to worry about colors, you just took the best card out of every pack, completely killing any interesting decisions in drafting and the ability to signal. The decks all kind of looked the same. The...

Do you mean just in this deck or in the cube in general?

Oh no. Did I walk into something obvious? EDIT - I just read the part about the eye flicks which I skimmed over before. Obvious troll is obvious, I clearly DID get dumber by reading it.

I feel dumber just for reading that post. Math does not work that way. And even if I accept the author's premise, I probably still wouldn't play Gain 12 life for W.

I'm pretty sure if you're playing Conspiracy sealed you're officially Doing It Wrong. It's a class 3 Violation of Play and the Fun Police will take your cards away.

I'm pretty sure that's the point. I'm sure most of us are pretty Spike-y, but it's not like cube is a ruthlessly competitive tournament format. We do this for fun, and as a noted Xbox Achievement Whore, achievements are pretty fun. I don't think I'd attach any in-game effects to them. They're...

Found this browsing through Forsythe's twitter. I don't know what's going on in this dude's cube, but I love this idea. What sort of achievements would you come up with for your cube? Maybe that's a thread...

Griselbrand As long as we're talking about black control... Let's say reanimation and cheating big creatures in general isn't really a strategy in your cube. Can you run this guy? Is he too good? Too bad? I have a sweet GP promo in my binder, should I put him in, coach?

I feel like the answer to that question should always be 'yes.' Hmm. Blackmail was originally going to be my pick, but maybe I do want Duress instead.

First, allow me to get this out of the way. *ahem* "Fuck Dack Fayden." Generic white dude Ral Zarek wannabe. Second, Alfonso Bonzo drafted this deck from my current list with an eye toward Kaya. I think it works. Whaddya all think? www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/584022[/url]"] Ones 1 Enlightened...

Y'know, right after I wrote the post I took a look at the deck again and decided that I should probably cut something for an 18th land. Probably Sakashima's Student.

Thing is, I want to run her, but she's not really where BW is in my cube. It's all about wide aggro token strategies with sacrifice and disruption and lifegain all sort of mixed in. Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and Sorin, Solemn Visitor both fit way better than Kaya. But she's so cool she makes me...

Should Conspiracy 2 spoilers get their own thread? I feel like we should have a thread. Last set gave us a ton of good stuff. As for the card itself, she's kind of like a planeswalker version of Obzedat, Ghost Council. That's pretty neat.
