Scrabble is an extremely abstract tile placement game with a thousand page rulebook on legal placement masquerading as a word game.

I've messed with tectonic break in the past along with bend or break, impending disaster, boom // bust, Scorched Earth and mana barbs as pseudo-Armageddon effects for red. Each of these cards much bigger weaknesses then armageddon (not shocking) that make their inclusion tricky. With Tectonic...

I assume one could. You could target squire and replace all instances of red with blue. The fact that "all instances" happens to be "no instances" isn't relevant as it is "target permanent" not "target permanent with a color word or basic land type in its text box."

I run exactly one foil card: Rebecca Guay Path of Exile. I hope that like the Steve Argyle Blood Braid Elf, that art eventually gets reprinted as a non-foil, but I'm not holding my breath. The printing of the cards I run depends completely on the card. I usually often prefer white...

A sure sign of progress is being confused and complaining about how things aren't as good as they used to be.

counting to 5 was never my strong suit.

On a different note, is there anywhere you can pre-order single from these decks? All the stores I usually buy from are already sold out.

Fiery Justice has always been playable. I also find it cute that it is the three colors that Fire Covenant isn't while serving the same purpose with a reversed drawback!

So, in order to deal with the obsolescence of the old 2/1s, I made up my mind to update them. Savannah Lions gets banding. I mean, duh, I love banding. Jackal Pup gains flanking. But, what to do with the worst of the worst, Jungle Lion? Option 1: Leave it be. Its not actually obsolete...

Does anyone else have this problem? I've been muddling along in my next cube revision for a while now. A month at least, and its really not getting anywhere. I think to myself, I need help. And then I realize, I'm part of a cube community that exists (at least partly) for the very specific...

Life from the Loam works best when your deck can passively utilize the extra cards in your graveyard. If you have a pile of Green/Black graveyard matters cards, adding a Loam to that pile probably makes it better, particularly if you grab something like cabal pit that really works well with it...

True Name Nemesis is an awful card. Dauthi Maurader and Latch Seeker are borderline cards that in the right environment can be valuable contributors. That sort of effect needed a little boost to be playable, not godmode. Why does the best aura/equipment carrier in the game also need to be an...

Apparently, commander sets are where they print cards that make absolutely no sense? Temporal Spring is Green/Blue, right? I guess not being able to target a land, becoming an instant, lowering the cost and adding a scalable upside somehow turns this into a white card? This card is amazing...

This card double triggers heroic, can add up to 8 damage over 2 turns on offense with a double striker and, perhaps most critically, can be used defensively while still providing an offensive boost next turn. In (admittedly limited) play, it has been extremely fun.

As a wise man on this forum once said, there are a lot more 3/2 and 3/3s for two in the world then there used to be. You probably want to cube some of them. As the days go by, have been beginning to think thatGiant Tortoise is preferable to Omenspeaker as it kills the 2/1s AND blocks the 3/3s...

The curses seem like a lot of fun. I particularly like the black curse. I'm not sure about how useful they are though. Are they weak to board wipes (because they undue everything) or strong against them (because they stay on board). All in all, they are cool but don't really change the...

I think you will quickly find that while this statement is partially true in a purely literal sense, it is completely untrue in practice. If there is a card so good, that it is unconditionally better then having 3-7 extra cards from your deck, that card is probably making games unplayable.

Bandage and Heal are also very good in this format. Lava Dart is beastly, with Geistflame and that other flashback burn spell whose name I can't remember are very good.

While it is true that Black Vice is an extremely uninteresting card, in a cube with nothing but one drops its damage potential is pretty poor. If you get it on the play turn 1, its a one mana lava axe, which is pretty dumb, but in any other situation it is only going to net you one or two damage...

Oloro seems like he has basically the lamest mechanic ever put on a Magic Card.
