dunno what you're talking about, set is full of bangers :p

skeletonized :p

Mitotic Slime One of my favorite cards from when I was in high school. Perfect example of flavor absolutely hard carrying a clunky text box. So evocative and still plays well in cubes that are low power and care about the board.

it also helps that talking about cube on reddit sucks lmao

Yeah I do not think Vinecrasher is particularly strong and won't hang in most cubes, but in Fair Nuff where there is a shitload of support for like every axis of the card and 30 copies of Ash Barrens and a very modest power level, it gets the job done.

it's hilarious that people keep saying like "oh but this place ain't active like it was" like i'm sure shit was popping on here in like 2014 but y'all this is a traditional web forum that still gets daily posts in 2025. that's an amazing thing to have.

Centaur Vinecrasher Here's a cool weird one that I don't think I've seen anywhere besides Fair Nuff lol. My playgroup loves this card. Gets people into the lands deck in a really weird sideways type of way, and it is always funny when someone discards an Ash Barrens or whatever and you get to...

Also probably worth noting that the dominant MTG cube discussion forum when Riptide was founded was MTG Salvation, and you can probably trace a lot of the seeds of these ideas back to a desire to NOT design cubes like Salvation did lol.

I don't think that there is a strict definition of what it means for a cube to be "riptide-style" and I think it means different things to different people, but here are some things that I associate it with: -Eschewing a strict focus on power for a focus on synergies and the interactions between...

are you two gonna kiss or what

I'm gonna second (third?) Blackmail. Maybe my favorite card of all time. Having that card cast against me was one of the things that made me want to start building old border cube. The multiple layers of bluffing and decision making on both sides of the table is just unmatched. And for just a...

In Old Border Kitchen Table: kjeldoran outpost raven familiar (this beat out morphling lol) twisted abomination (think this is because the oracle is including regenerate reminder text? this beat out necropotence lol) urza's rage (probably gonna cut this eventually it's so much squeeze for so...

(this cube already has geddon and shit in it i have no problem with this, if you pull that off after casting a 6 drop and dumping a bunch of mana into it then you deserve it!)

(i was gonna make this look good but got annoyed before i could bother) The set Scourge (2003) is rather infamous for its failed attempt at a dragon theme. With only four (???) dragons in the whole set and the hilariously broken mechanic Storm stealing the show, Scourge completely failed to...
