one of the things i'm used to seeing when idiots of the genus Magic: The Seattling (you know, the kind of morons that go to EDH league until someone else has a divergent definition of fun, go to Standard FNM regularly, dream of going 4-0 at Standard FNM, and pride themselves on level-0 knowledge...

Seems like new threads spur a great deal of discussion, so, in the interest of bringing the forum alive, I'm going to make 1-2 a night for a week and see what happens. In this thread we will talk about such abstract notions as what each color ought to 'do' in your cube the dangers of having...

conventional wisdom, which has been wrong about most everything else (headed as it is by geniuses like this) says cubes should have "~50%" creature spells (i.e. creatures/total nonland cards). my cube (at http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/114) has 56.3%, if I classify some token-makers like Gather...

Lovers of Ice Age (there are two of us) know that the set known for such limpid powerhouses as Chromatic Armor, Ice Cauldron, and Balduvian Shaman also produced tasteless and convoluted effects like Pyroclasm and Anarchy, to say nothing of Demonic Consultation and Necropotence. "TL;DR."...

Y/N, Cubers and Cubettes? Not only does it have the second-best flavor text on a card with casting cost R, it also looks like a probable reprint in 2030's "From the Vault: Jason Waddell." Discuss

"True glory consists of doing what deserves to be written, and writing what deserves to be read" -- Pliny the Elder So I'm wondering if anyone's made a hole for Glory in their Cube: "Same lettering as on Supreme Verdict ... same colors, too." OK, what I really mean is ... "Hmmm ...

So anyone who reads Wescoe's articles (and you should, if you like Magic media) knows that BW Tokens is a thing in Modern, and that it has, in his words, "game against anything." There's nothing quite like laughing at their Wrath and making four vigilant flying 3/3's the next turn. The strategy...

(Maybe we could turn this one into an article too, once I've synthesized all the smart things other people say with the better thoughts here...) The original Mirrodin block had bad art, an ugly new card face with ugly gray mana symbols, bland flavor, bland flavor text, a cheesy plot, and...

BenS is one of the few top MTG players that maximizes the function (charisma * popularity * visibility * results), so his articles are always a treat. http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/stark-reality-drafting-the-hard-way/ You could draw analogies between his methods of consistently...

back in the day, when men were men and creatures were shit, control ruled magic like the dragon king ruled westeros. it was 'interactive' in the sense that big brother was 'interactive' with winston smith, or an autistic person is 'interactive' with you on a date: the blue mages may not have...

HOOOOOOLY SHIT it is good. I gotta run to a soccer game so i'll keep it short: the tribal synergies don't really result in linear strategies. like i hate tribal for the most part because it's so oppressively parasitic and lazy and easy but the archetypes work well with one another. the poison...

who's your favorite poet? john mill-ton! favorite philosopher? john stuart mill! favorite nba hero? reggie miller! favorite bit of chaucer? the miller's tale! favorite sitcom antihero? andy millman! favorite george eliot novel? the mill on the floss! favorite eschatological cult? the...

so one of the tenets of my cube is that every card ought to be main-deckable; considering how much i love cards that go in multiple archetypes, and how much i love decks that try to do a bunch of things passably instead of a single linear thing obsessively (your decks are vendilion cliques, not...

so the initial purpose of this post was to ask everyone what their play-groups looked like and how that jived with their cube design and though i'd like to do that i thought i'd explore the issue a little further. when i started playing mtg again it was with a bunch of old friends, one of whom...

--OP-- new list (updated pretty regularly): http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/114 old discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/riptide-laboratory/JY-7jDYCn4o newest update (as of april): out: elesh norn, planar cleansing, borborygmos enraged, bonesplitter, wash out...
