    In defense of Jor: At that point I was like "I put in my time for my metalcraft value, I'm gonna RUN some metalcraft value!" If it wasn't so late, I'd have put a basic mountain in just for a third source lol. I picked the splicer first, and second-picked into glassdust hulk... but proceeded to...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    I'm trying to find the best way to describe how good this card is... it's tough if you haven't played with it (and this ISN'T EVEN COUNTING CBS COMBOS LIKE sphinx's tutelage). It makes it impossible to sculpt a perfect hand, but on the flipside is literally endless gas attached to a 5/5 flier...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    I've tried him out in my cube multiple times, and could only conclude that he's cancerous. Maybe it's just my cube's power level, but ho-lee-shit does he turn even the most innocent of draw-based effects into a serious win condition. And that's on top of a body that's really par, especially for...

    Honestly, the pack is pretty weak. Pack rat is there for Mono-B beats/Golgari synergy/reanimator synergy, so it isn't a bad pick. My cube isn't -really- vintage cube. It has no storm archetype, as I find storm to be absolutely cancerous to a cubing environment. There are also no signets, so it's...

    Palinchron isn't a card that I've thought about for some time... how does it perform in cube? Honestly, I really don't have much cubing experience with it. This is an interesting pack. A good rule to remember for powermax cubes is that lands become MUCH better once the power level hits a...

    Hey, this could be an excuse to actually run Deathrite Shaman... So... lands = to the amount of life you have? This could actually be a great bit of redundancy for the Zuran Orb combo!

    Wildfire and Upheaval can go in the same deck as they do share complementary game plans, though Upheaval is a bajillion times better as the U/G deck. You're not wrong about Garruk not being horrible. Spitting out 3/3s is great when your opponent cant respond (there are several Legacy decks...

    I forgot to include a key bit of information: The -reason- that Wildspeaker/co don't help as much is because you aren't likely to have any lands to double-tap when your wildfire resolves :p It's possible of course for Wildfire to dip into green for Cultivate/Kodama's reach to secure future...

    Yeah, Naya's always been one of the more awkward color triplicates. I think they did a real great job defining the Khans triple-colors, so I have high hopes if they eventually return to Alara/remake the shards.

    I run the Wildfire Archetype in my Cube. It contains both wildfire and burning of Xinye. The Wildfire archetype is an interesting one, and often includes mana rocks just as much planeswalkers, as a way of keeping your lead. Signets/etc. are all excellent in Wildifre as 'mana dorks' that don't...

    Thanks for giving my cube a shot! That's rough. Metalworker is kind of an odd bird. A bit of a trap card, as it doesn't do anything unless you already have a decent amount of mana rocks. Of course, it's amazing when you're able to go deep, so every so often there'll be the guy who all-ins on it...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I think that energy would be best restricted to a single color pair, maybe U/R (for that U/R token guy and dynavolt tower, maybe?) in order to be able to fill an archetype without breaking singleton. The problem there though is that you basically have a deck that's either 'strictly worse'...

    I agree completely with the sentiment that those voting for Trump may be disappointed when he finally takes the Presidency... His first steps as an outsider will likely to be attempts to make himself an insider. The only consolation in that fact is that his attempts to do so may well necessitate...

    I mean, hold on. Let's be real here for a second. That describes most of the candidates for presidency. Obama for example, was a Senator and went to Columbia U, to say nothing of Romney, Bush, Clinton etc. If you're not into voting for someone of the upper crust, then aside from Bernie you're...

    Even the shitposters in this community are pure class. When you hear someone talking on the TV and Radio constantly about how shit you are and how shit your beliefs are, you keep your mouth shut- even if you do believe that you're just. You can feel the bitter, vicious sentiment in the air...
