This is kind of vague, and I don't have any good answers in mind, but does anybody have any concrete ideas about ways our cubes are held back by the limitations of the printed Magic cardpool? The first one that comes to mind for me is that the strength of black has been too heavily placed into...

Blood Scrivener This card is terrible. What else should I consider running?

http://riptidelab.com/channelfireball-store-credit-contest-details/ I’ve never been more excited about cube design than when I was figuring out ways to make multiples of Gravecrawlerand Birthing Podwork in an integrated draft environment. They came in together as part of a large-scale overhaul...

Squee, Goblin Nabob I have lied to myself for years telling myself this is a cool card that belongs in my cube. But it's never been in a winning deck. It usually doesn't even end up in a deck. It's kind of a turd out there. I mean, I love him but, man, what a shitstain, right? I even had this...

Five years ago, I was slumming it in Pittsburgh. My (then) wife and I were using Craigslist to make other couple friends, and we met some couple who was slumming it in some apartment a few blocks away. The guy was a scruffy artistic type, working now as a math teacher but he would disappearevery...

Uh, so I'm going to play with a big ball of fire and invite CML to do a live (gulp) Chatcast alongside yours truly, where I'll attempt to do my best to reign in the tangents while my guest leads us on tirades that seek to connect the failings of Avacyn Restored limited to Nietzschean philosophy...

As many of you know, I started a project a while back called the Cube Academy (http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/), which stalled out on my end for a number of reasons. I still think it's an important project that's important to our site and a good resource in general, and would like to finish...

It's been 7 months since we migrated from this bad boy. Happy browsing! https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/riptide-laboratory

The thread for being curmudgeony.

Apparently I have some CFB store credit stockpiled from before I disappeared from Magic, and I was thinking of being generous with it for some unknown reason. I wonder, is there some contest I could run with credit as a prize? Should we try to use it as evangelism? I could run like, a new user...

Tell me about the awesome things that are happening in your life when you're not sitting around a table waiting anxiously with 6 other dudes and wondering if that asshole is going to be late or just not show up at all.

And maybe use the handy dandy card image tags because one of us never really got around to studying the visual spoiler and hasn't played Magic in a long time.

hey guyz. so i turned in a characteristic CML performance at the SCG opens, starting 5-1 and dropping at 5-4 in standard and playing excellent magic at legacy for four rounds before fucking up in a fashion that brought about much self-loathing. it was very "me in 2011" and I'll try to do better...

I am interested in designing / contributing to the design of a budget cube that can be put together from scratch for <= $100. Testing would be done with real matches on MODO, with RiptideLab purchasing and hosting the cube. Currently I don't really have the time to do this solo, so I'm looking...
