    Can't go, work stuff is imploding atm :/ I'd definitely be interested in some sorta riptide hangout thing down the road, this one just doesn't work for me sadly

    *SPOILERS* Star Wars: The Force Awaken

    Finally saw it. 3d was fine; my only issue with it were white light sources off in the background which I found blurred more often than not. Overall I enjoyed it, agree with a lot of the above, it may have gone back to the well one too many times with certain things. I didn't mind the cantina...

    Article CubeTutor Champion Contest Champion

    I didn't receive the memo that he wasn't cool any more until after my submission :P A lot of my drafters actually liked the archetype, but I'm trying different stuff now. At present they've been replaced with a bunch of disruption dudes like Thalia or Imposing Sovereign

    Bruh. Totally spent >1 minute looking through the spoiler trying to figure out which card you meant before I gave up and wrote this post to whine about it.

    General Sunday January 10th Draft Sign-ups (2PM EST)

    Post up stream links beside attendee names if possible. While I can't attend I may be able to hop on mid-draft and take a peek!

    General PennyPincher,JasonCube,EldraziDomain,PortableFlower,SHARZAD,Modulabuns,Ravebuns,

    I think what I've learned is maybe I break singleton more than most people do?

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Am I alone in my dislike of "uncounterable"? This could be blue bias showing, but I've really started feeling the same way about hexproof and uncounterable as I do about protection. All of them are forms of reduced interaction. I do on the other hand, like voice of resurgence, thalia, or...

    General Fight Club

    In my experience this almost never happens. Could be a quirk of my playgroup, but black is one of the most hotly contested colors (probably because people understand it really well over here). Getting into confidant wars against the person who drafted the other one is always fun. Who can...

    General CBS

    CBS just means "cube bullshit" so kind of whatever you'd like to post that pertains to cube in general. It's kind of a catch-all for anything that doesn't warrant writing an entire thread. As for your question, without seeing your list, or getting a vague idea of your power level, it's...

    General New to Cube- I could use some help with percentages.

    1. I think this is probably the biggest motivation to play at a lower power level. Being able to explore sweet interactions with cards that never see play is really cool. For me personally, the density of interactions found at higher power levels proved too attractive. But as someone who was...

    General Fight Club

    That's fair, totally respect that choice. That said, I do wish I could sell you on proxying up the cards you do want to run (any of them where you don't have power level concerns). To me this is a very natural extension of the breaking singleton argument. If you've already gone through the...

    General New to Cube- I could use some help with percentages.

    Definitely. The best way to do this is to use CubeTutor. Most of us just post links directly their in our signatures, lots of folks keep a thread in the cube lists forum as well. It's free to use and has a ton of functionality including some testing options. I'd recommend uploading your work...

    General Fight Club

    Write in candidate: Priest of the Blood Rite also, re: arena, I've been reeeeally happy with my decision to cut it for a second Dark Confidant. I know they're not really the same card (I think they're not even close to as similar as they look on face value), but I find Confidant just results...

    Article ChannelFireball: Archetype Design

    Agree completely here. The card is really good in the archetype that wants him and pretty shitty outside of that. Feels poisonous to me. It's the kind of card that you want in a wtf123 powercube but not something I'm interested in for my own.

    Grillo Vs Kirblinx: Non-Red Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    Glad the site helped you guys out! Definitely PM me if it ever does give you trouble. Would really love to see games from this cube streamed, but I'm glad for the coverage either way :)

    Safra Vs Ferret: Non-White Safra's Cube Grid Draft

    Wow! Lots of activity in this forum since I last checked it. A few thoughts: one, where are the links to stream highlights/exports?! Two, I'm curious what the cloudshift issues were. Aetherthings are a known issue IIRC. The others would be news to me unless they were collection issues.

    The Video Game Thread

    PlaneScape: Torment definitely. Don't be afraid to give yourself a hint from a walkthrough of you get super stuck, but otherwise try to just play it. The best thing is you'll be ready for the new Numenera torment when it finally comes out!

    General New to Cube- I could use some help with percentages.

    Hey, glad to see you posting! The other replies have some great info already, but I wanted to add my voice to the chorus with a few tips and some encouragement. Let's do the encouragement first. Something I learned when I transitioned from being a new designer to feeling more comfortable is...
