    Meddling Mage Grid #1

    Thanks you so much for the games (and recordings), Kirblinx! My assorted thoughts on the draft: Goblin cards don't seem to go well with blue or white, making red a bit less interesting. I was worried about my total number of playables, but hate drafting seemed more important than acquiring...

    Meddling Mage Grid #1

    I've meant to write about grid in general and feature this plus a few others, but work writing has my mental inkwell all but evaporated. So, there are no posts detailing this lil' bitty. I will say the nature of grid's 5-6 of 9 card selection (with 1-2 probably not making the deck) leads me to...

    Meddling Mage Grid #1

    James picked 'em up from me; teamwork at its finest! Hopefully, a few find there way into other grids/cubes. I have not yet played it, but it's incoming over the next few weeks in paper! Hopefully, it is somewhat fun to play! And anytime that isn't midnight-5am us central would work for me...

    General Building a Retro Cube

    I started playing competitively at destiny/6e. Creatures were not one hit KOs. In general, card impact of permanents was low. Try cubing cursed scroll now; that card was overpowered in 99. Masticore was grbs. I would probably stop around Odyssey and use old extended as my legality basis. The...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    For some reason, Scion of Darkness led me to the following question: Would a 'Soultitan-class' creature (think Soul of Zendikar, etc.,) be a good inclusion if it had {Landtype}cycling? 3RR Soul of Kaladesh Creature - Avatar Mountaincycling R 2RR: {Forked Bolt}. RRR, Exile this from your...

    General Emotional Spikes in Cube Design

    Been lurking awhile on this topic and hope that this ramble is somewhat coherent given my time constraint! (FWIW, I imagine this topic to be a pickup artist spinoff and want to manipulate unsuspecting MTG players into drafting with me and enjoying it.) Your player base's buy-in of the...

    Sets [EMN] Eldritch Moon Spoilers Thread

    I enjoyed "The Thran"; the tale of Yawgmoth's ascension. Though, I recommend steering clear of story in general (unless you like disappointment). "Rise of the Eldrazi" captured my imagination for a conceptual album showcasing the roiling Zendikar into the awakening and immediate aftermath of...

    The Music Thread

    Here is some silly Jap-anime-tal that you may enjoy: the vocals are ~all~ over the place. there is a bit in the 4th song that are inhumanly harsh (and lovely). [edit, i cant remember which song, but i reckon you'll know when you hear it and have involuntary physical reactions]
