    I really like Wrath of Sod. What an interesting design! It would need tons of development, though.

    I really, really love these cards. They feel so much like something out of Cosmic Encounter more than Magic. Love them :)

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    All right, so I'm taking Nanonox' advice to heart and making some changes. OUT Quicksmith Rebel Burning-Tree Emissary Lightning Mauler Gravecrawler Anje's Ravager Quicksmith Rebel has been dissapointing. He's solid, but he has too much competition to shine. First, if you are into artifacts...

    I didn't play back then, but getting your creatures repeatedly Submerged must have not been very fun. I mean, free hate-spells sounds...painful. Massacre is brutal, dropping a sweeper and keeping a counterspell up must be a hard move! By the way, playing Stasis and seeing your opponent...

    Sure. I do not think highly of the whole Leyline mechanic. The whole idea behind it is that you can get a enduring effect for free if you have it in your initial hand. Free spells are already questionable but making them free based on the luck of the draw is kind of dumb. In practice, they...

    Leyline of Abundance is a shitty design so I won't miss it.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks for the thoughts Nanonox! Now that you mention it, it does seem totally true. I actually looked into Legion Warboss and the like, but they looked kind of snowbally so I dismiss them . Now that I've played with and against it in Standard and saw how they work, I think it's fine to add...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I've booked several weeks of boardgames and L5R so I have even more time to polish my cube. First, I built this "Lands deck" that is much stronger than it seems at first glance: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/1194664[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Zuran Orb Ones 1 Burst Lightning 1 Elixir of Immortality 1...

    Anje's Ravager Stromkirk Occultist Which one do you think is better if you want to support aggro and control?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Job search, 18XX and Dune have taken most of my time lately but I wanted to work on the cube a bit. It's going to take some time for me to be able to get it done physically so I've been able to change some slots and experiment. There have been no important changes, though. I've just added more...

    I'm glad they are making more sagas because it's a great mechanic.

    Personally, I think Llanowar Elves would have been even a bigger "problem" than Goose since it's repeteable. The mana fixing is good and with Elves you wouldn't be able to run UWG but I think Elves are more powerful than Goose and the white splash doesn't matter for Oko. When Llanowar Elves were...

    Retreat to Coralhelm What can you tell me about this card? Wadell runs it and I'm very intrigued. I run 20 fetchlands which seems required.

    Hey Nanonox. You are probably right about Birthing Pod and perhaps I should double-up on it. I haven't found Collected Company to be as difficult to build around because it's an overall good card but I'll keep it in mind. I think I'm going to add a 51th green card for a second Pod. I used to run...

    All right, I'm finishing my cube and preparing myself to make proxies and start picking up cards. Are there any cards you think wouldn't work? Anything that sees ugly to you? Let me know please! :)

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    So I've finally gone and filled up all the remaining slots. I'm going to do a round of cuts and suggestions from you guys and then go to the printer and start picking up the cheap cards. Let's get it rolling for real this time. If you have any suggestions or think certain cards don't work...

    General Current opinion on duplicates and other Riptidian/Waddellisms?

    I really like Looter il-Kor as a duplicate. I think replacing your Merfolk Looter with a second copy of it is a plain improvement. They are pretty much the same card except playable in more archetypes. Either way, nothing has improved my cube more than moving two double fetches.
