    General Fight Club

    I dunno guys, I think nowadays I'm about that Wishra's Light life.

    I like both. I feel like Daze is cooler because it has more play, but I like counterspell variety

    Sets [ORI] Magic Origins Spoilers

    I dislike renown both in cube and retail limited for exactly the reason Grillo states. (or because I lost to renown creatures at the prerelease)

    I think you need to nurture the Riptide couchsurfing program that you and Wadds started James. Nothing quite like flying across the world so you can stay inside and do the same shit you'd do at home, amirite?

    General Fight Club

    Have you thought much about why you don't like it in cube CML or is it just more of a gut feeling? I kinda like Daze, although I get gotten by it a shitload. But I've never actually played Legacy so I think that's making me a little biased in favor of playing the card.

    General Thy Times Of The Great One Cometh!

    Yeah I just really don't think Draco is good enough. Fun thread though!

    General Fight Club

    Yes. Because everything else in the game is allowed to deal with problematic permanents at any point in time after they resolve. Counterspells trade the ability to interact at any point in time for the ability to interact with any non-land permanent (or non-permanent!).

    General Fight Club

    I don't have much to add to the raptor discussion, but I'll go ahead and represent Team No-Uncounterable just for the sake of argument (although a few of these posts are pushing the unfriendliness line IMO) I don't like running uncounterable stuff because I've intentionally pushed hard to make...

    I find FTK good but plain. I do still run him, but I find murderous redcap more fun to play with

    My First Cube

    I can't honestly feel a difference with window decal/transparency method. 100% agree that the quick and dirty printer paper stuck in the sleeve over a common with no tape/glue stick/whatever works just fine. This is how I have all of my nonfoil'd proxies and it makes swaps a breeze! (I don't...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    I mean I guess this is what ULD is all about right? It doesn't cost a ton to include it in ULD. The only downside to doing so is choosing to do so with too many lands and making people take forever reading your ULD pack.

    My First Cube

    Agree 100% with Chris here. Shit takes forever. Prepare to finish entire seasons of things on netflix just de-inking foils. My current method for customs and cards I'm not confident on is just photo paper in front of a card. If I like a card a great deal, I'll foil it out. I also allow the...

    My First Cube

    I run a set of duals, set of shocks, double set of fetches and it hasn't felt like too many, so I wouldn't be shy about including that fourth set of something. You'll probably have to just feel out what you wanna do for that last set. I like the doubled up fetches because there is just an...

    2nd string cube

    Some examples (didn't have time to get through all five colors) Spectra ward, decree of justice, isleback spawn, dragonlord's prerogative (replace with cheaper instant speed draw), either rune-scarred demon OR baleful force but probably not both. Like I say, you've picked fun cards that have a...

    2nd string cube

    Just drafted it, there's a lot of fun stuff :) I feel like your curve is still a bit too high. I accidentally ended up in a BG ramp/controlly sorta deck just because I picked a couple of fatties early and then all I saw were more fatties. As a completely arbitrary reference point, I think I run...

    My First Cube

    I use the transparency method for proxies. It's a fair bit of work but damn do they ever look sexy. Just google "mtg transparency method proxy" and you'll find enough to learn how to do it. I think the cool kids all use laser printers and just print directly to blanked cards now, but I can't be...

    My First Cube

    Basically what Grillo said. My only other advice is: 1. proxy up better mana-nobody cares if your cards are real, they care if their games are good. (Standard riptide Rx for a 360 is double shock double fetch, dunno how that maths out at 450) 2. break singleton so you don't have to run stuff...
