Also my god I have never seen Cogwork Librarian more in his element. The irl roto is where that guy belongs. People picking it up like every time it gets put down, tossing it back onto the table later and making a big play like a chekhov's gun going off. So fucking cool. I'm so happy we decided...

Rotisserie Decks (you can deal with these shitty kitchen counter pictures i am not typing all of these out lmao) 5-Color Lands Control *looking through draft pool* "I'm pretty sure my deck can't win a game." *proceeds to not drop a match all night* Mardu Aggro Aristocrats This deck made me...

Hi! Haven't been posting in this thread very much because I am pretty happy with where this cube is at and I've been focusing on other projects. I still make some swaps here and there when things are too shit or too good or fucking lame, but I don't think I am ever gonna make a sweeping change...

I've also gone down the "thinking about Pandemonium+Saproling Burst" road but I think the problem is just that when you cast Saproling Burst the game is almost always over anyway, which I think applies to a lot of cards that "combo" with Pandemonium.

boot is right I always come crawling back to splitter after cutting it

Wow Zombie Infestation rocks I might have to try that card. Some other cool weird stuff in this lane: stormbindhermit druidpatrol houndsterravore

I think we are at a point where curating an "old border" cube is a pretty different project than curating a cube that actually exclusively uses old cards. They have done so many old border reprints of new designs and so many of them are extremely powerful cards, that the card pool you are...

I think it isn't really that hard to understand, especially if you are a Magic player and read Magic cards all day, but if you barely think about Magic like most of the people I play with, the phrase "but not more than the toughness of the creature or the life total of the player Drain Life...

Definitely the biggest hurdle I've had with black and trying to support Necropotence is that the pickings are actually quite slim on lifegain in old border black. You're making me take a second look at Corrupt and Vicious Hunger haha. Drain Life would be perfect but it is one of the most...

Here's a package that's been somewhat emergent in Old Border Kitchen Table: goofy GR turbo ramp channel fireball combo type shit On top of the usual suite of dorks and rampant growths, you can throw in some of these more explosive mana cards: channelTinder Wallmana flaredwarven ruinsgaea's...

Something else cool you can do with enchantments in old border is a GW aggro auras package. I ripped this idea from the Original Old Border Cube and have been tinkering with it. Pretty fun if your cube is board-focused. Start with some classic good auras: RancorArmadillo CloakElephant Guide...

My old border cube is going to be one of the featured cubes at CubeCon 2025 wahoo thank you to all the weirdos here for helping to get me into this goofy format.

also go to bed train what the hell

sazh's chocobo this card is epic end transmission

buddy you just gave me the biggest layup of all time juggernaut

scion of darkness Probably the coolest old border cycling big dude besides maybe Eternal Dragon. I like that the card doesn't just pay you off by letting you reamimate your own stuff so it has a lot of game-to-game variance on how much the trigger matters, while still being solid as just a big...

I wasn't fast enough to talk about Mirrodin Besieged but here is a post about Accorder Paladin anyway: Accorder Paladin Wow it's Accorder Paladin! He's your best friend! This guy was the first in a long line of one of my favorite card genres: 2-mana 3/1s with some upside. And what a goddamn...
