I mean obvious that Journey is great for enchantress hopefuls, but a lot of those cards, particularly some of the constellation ones, are pure filler with unpleasantly low power level. We might get a couple more crossblock support cards over the next year, but this is probably it, so if we want...

It was mentioned that he had to cut down to 5 total posts from 6. I have it in my land draft binder and no one has taken the plunge. I'm not sure its very well positioned in my cube, though.

I run over 70 enchantments in 384 cards and could easily push it higher. The enchantresses are great cards. Replenish is legit in W/U, but a little too narrow to run with, but I think that will change next update when you can, say, Fauna Shaman enchantment creatures into the graveyard.

Ok, as someone who doesn't pay attention to constructed magic, I'll ask. What is it about that deck that makes it work and is the card pool available to slam it into a cube? Is it just leaning on the ridiculousness of Master of Waves or is it something deeper in the design that we can extract?

Of the people I play with, 0%.

How's shipwreck siren? Baleful strix is a reasonable card and all, but sort of unpleasantly agnostic, I was thinking of trying her.

Dack would be a 100% perfect card for the vintage cube. Whatever happened to that (not that I helped)?

Well, I have heard myself telling people that 17 land is a pretty safe choice if you aren't sure, I just didn't realize it was "set in stone"

I was unaware that the 23-17 land split was a hard and fast rule in cube. Is this "common" knowledge (of which I am blissfully ignorant) or a trend you've noticed? Granted, my cube has a pretty aggressively low mana curve, but I build more 16 land decks then 17. 15 and 18 aren't unheard of.

Speaking of Nivmagus Elemental, can that card do anything in cube or is it purely the constructed thing it looks like?

Its like getting hit with an annex that cascades into a merfolk looter (but better) for 3?

Well, its like THE blue heroic enabler, so without that I think the stock drops considerably. However, its nice with wild growth/utopia sprawl/overgrowth and the red spells matter brothers. So, that's two decks it can go in. It'd be good with inspired too, but I'm not sure inspired is...

On the other hand, if your artifacts don't highhandedly win the game when stolen/not stolen, do we really need to punish people for playing them with a card that steals them AND leaves behind a double looting planeswalker?

Things I've noticed about blue aggression: 1) Aura based aggro decks love blue. Countering the card that blows you out is completely sweet. Filtering away the redundant cards is also sweet. 2) Throwing a couple delvers into a control deck is sweet. If you draw them early, you clock them...

Changling Bob seems like our resident player. I sold my collection last month.

That's the most frustrating part!

I can never plan these things out until I have the cards in front of me, but the short answer is a lot.

Its tricky because some Planeswalker abilities are best compared to permanent effects (which stop being permanent once you use a different ability) while others are just one shot effects. Also while is is completely true that JtMS's +0 is brainstorm, in practice it seems different because if...

Remember when the opponent cast control magic on your dude, it only cost three mana, you couldn't destroy it and on top of that if you didn't waste a burn spell, extremely specific removal spell or an unblocked creature in the next two turns they got to filter 2 cards and then cast a second...

No, seriously, I hate this card worse then TNN. TNN is just a stupid card that makes games hugely unfun for everyone involved, but in a consistently boring manner. Dack would be completely playable if he only had the +1. That would be a fun, cool card. However, he has that -2 of steal artifact...
