Is this about best green cards or best green finishers? I think Jason's Least Favorite Card is awesome against everything (except baneslayer maybe) as a finisher. Some of the most highly drafted green cards I run are Sylvan Library, Argothian Enchantress, Birds of Paradise and Garruk...

I think your cube is really cool. Anyone who cubes Flickering Ward and TWO Gray Merchant of Asphodels is good by me. We share some overlap in a few "not-typically-cubed areas" in our designs, but are also drastically different in a lot of others, which is great for comparison purposes...

Fortunately for my wallet, I'm not a fan of the Guay plains. If I were to switch my Mirage ones for anything, it'd be Tempest.

My friends land box is half Zendikar basics and half White Border Modern frame and, without fail, half of the players choose each even though there are more then enough for everyone. Personally, I only use Mirage basics, but if I can find a few more, I was considering switching to Rebecca Guay...

With snow coming tomorrow, I am hoping that my order comes tonight so I can spend all day designing my next update. EDIT: And they didn't come. I hope they deliver mail tomorrow. . .

When we land drafted in our 8 man draft, basically we did are first 2 picks normally, then people just started grabbing stuff and if two people wanted to grab the same thing we used pick order to tie break (sort of like waiver priority). It wasn't elegant or applicable to online drafting, but...

On topic of CML's article proposal, I recognize one name on his list of authors (Flores used to write for the Dojo a million years ago when I cared about constructed), so I really wouldn't "get it". I'm a hobbyist magic player playing in a casual format. The only thing I care about is making...

I've been cubing for a long, long time and I have to say I'm having as much fun playing it now as I always have and am having less randomly shitty drafts due to some broken design element. And less importantly, but in another way more importantly, I have more fun designing and developing then...

I won't speak for anyone else, but I do not run Kiki because I find that, on a conceptual level, I don't like the paradigm of "get two cards together and you win the game". When you add in easy access via tutoring and redundancy in the two cards you can combine to win the game, it seems...

I think enchantress is pretty good already. The only "poisonous" cards are the enchantresses themselves. And replenish, if you run that. Cards like flickering ward, shimmering wings and mark of fury are great with enchantresses, but they also support heroic and extort like a boss. Also, they do...

God damnit, I have every card in Alfonso's image except mana bloom ready for my next cube update, now I need it too. . . Thanks a lot Alfonso! (You figure out if that was sarcastic or not!)

I really do think Shred Freak is just bad. 2 mana creatures that just attack and block need have 3 power or evasion. The rare few that don't bring some kind of huge combat advantage with them. Not only does Shred Freak bring none of those, on top of it he has 1 toughness. So besides being...

Alfonzo: Its definitely a thought, but I don't think Lions or Vanguard is going to survive the next update as one drops are going to get drastically shaken up. We'll see.

Dom is 100% correct here. The only thing that matters is how your cube plays. Having arbitrary sections of identical size is not really a contributing factor to having a cube that plays well. Personally when I sort my cube for upkeep I sort like this: Multicolor White Blue Black Red Green...

Common bond can target the same creature twice, while Reap what is sown can't. That said in beta. . . Gray OgreUthden Troll Hill GiantRoc of Kher Ridges

I have to admit, while philosophically a deck with eleven twelve 4+ mana cards can't exist in my cube, this list really speaks to me.

For next update: Double 1 drops, BNG and up to 4 tribal special rules, hopefully by the end of next week.

I'm not commenting on whether or not its balanced, I am merely saying that the direction things are going is not the game I want to play. Lots of people seem to be enjoying it so its fine if I'm not one of them.

The thing about most of the "play an extra land" cards is that even moreso then usual ramp cards, they run you out of steam really fast unless you have ways to grab extra cards into your hand. I'm not sure the incentives are enough to make up for the inherent disadvantages.
