So, you mean a invasion/odyssey block cube? You know what, it might work. Thing is: the main abilities in odyssey cube are great, but are parasitic to each other: Flashback and treshold are at odds to each other. Even taken this into account, that block was seriously great. Oh man, do I miss...

Just sent a list with links? My family gave me a hard small suitcase for my cube (without me having to sent a link).

Always! Rule Q of mtg

The thing is: in the oracle text all is there, the mana value, type, text box, and power/toughness. To complicate it: the power of a card depends on it all. If the casting cost (yes casting to include evoke etc) is too high, then the card is bad. To further complicate it: the strength of a card...

The thing with value is that it is artificial. A deck with rares and uncommons will have that the rares are more worth money wise, while they do not necessarily are better. That is why I proposed to look at the top 8 deck lists of major tournaments in eg legacy, modern, and standard. And please...

I would try to leech top8 decklists of formats, or your format of choice. That and the banned lists of the non-commander formats. Monetary value is not a good metric at all.

The thing is: one knows when cracking the junk it could lead to not being able to use that card. If one goes into it without this expectation, then that one is fooling him/her/it/whatever self. I know that when one needs a land from the deck and draws a non-land card during the regular draw...

The thing is that yes you will have feel bads. However, a clue cost two mana. How many times will you lose the game due to this mana investment? Does that make you feel bad or is it that you kinda fool yourself and does that not make you feel bad?

Many? Combat tricks can be used in your attack, counterspell is, as much as I like to taste the salt of my opponents to see their plan thwarted, not something I cry about when I do not draw it. It feels like junk suffers from the same fate as self mill. It is hard to see a great card go, but...

Why? Just sac it after your draw. if you cannot play it, then it is most of the times better since you would likely not be able to play it when you draw it next turn.

But stonewall it with: beloved chaplain Metathran zombie Fog bank Pacifism Pacifism is kinda cheating and works against a lot of creatures, but it does not work against sheoldred/etb nonsense of these days.

There are already so many great examples of cards from that era. Invasion block was great. That era has a ton of cards which change the rules of the game without being bombs itself. E.g: worship Smokestack No mercy Crumbling sanctuary Dueling grounds Ensnaring bridge Noetic scales Together...

You mean a standard deck like: birds of paradise Fires of yavimaya Flametongue kavu Shivan wurm

It is a green card, greens power is to have strong creatures. Yes, it can happen that you do not have the biggest boy in town ready to attack, but that should be a rare occasion. Unless you do something completely different with green in your cube. Plague winding an opponent is almost always...

The beautiful part is that it is non-interactive due to the split second and hexproof… blegh

All I can think about when I see that card is: Hey, removal for one green mana! (Just play it before you attack what you planned to do anyway.) It could be even played as protection or a fly catcher.

My choice of words was not what I meant. The thing is, sometimes people will get upset no matter what you do. What is accepted changes over time. Sometimes something meaning changes a lot, e.g., a swastika. Banning all swastikas would be something that many religions would not like. At the same...

The problem is: what’cha want? Of all these blocks it is possible to make a block cube. It is also possible to make a cube using cards from all these sets. A few things to keep in mind: Creatures are way, but I mean way, weaker than now. Still and surprisingly, the cards that are really...

Well, if a stereotype has been used for some time, then the ones not hurt by that stereotype can get upset when one stops using that stereotype. There were riots in the Netherlands about part of the Sinterklaas myth (from which Santa Claus is derived). The Dutch version of krampus, called Piet...

I do not know, there are pros for keeping it the same and cons since one can do a lot more online. All I know from my experience with the commander decks of brothers war is that the game has become really complex and that boardstate errors/reading errors are made more often than not. This is all...
