    General What's the play?

    In a situation with a custom card and a polite request from a real, live player to change it, I don't see much reason to keep the name aside from being contrarian.

    General [Grid League] Penny Cube Grid League

    I'm definite into this idea, but I'm in the middle of moving so my time and computer access will both be limited in the short term. I'll check in once things are more settled.

    Right. Should we grade purely on cool and interesting design or also from a balance and development? Most cards can be tweaked a bit to be playable in any cube meta.

    Conspiracy 2 plus Eternal Masters should really make this a great summer for cubes! I'm actually pretty bearish on EM making Legacy more affordable, but I bet there will be quite a few fun but pricy reprints that are good for us!

    Looks like we're getting Conspiracy 2 later this summer!

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Madcaster Mage - {1}{R} Creature - Human Wizard When Madcaster Mage enters the battlefield you may discard a card. If you do, add {R} to your mana pool. 2/1 I'm not enough of a rules guru to know if the timing works for madness with the way I have this templated, but I think you get the idea.

    Heh - I think if anything that it's too easy to go overboard on removal in B/R once you start going deep, as there are lots of repeatable pinging and disfigure effects that can clear the board and slow down the game. I'm halfway through a first draft, and even if I never build this in paper it's...

    I don't know exactly why this idea has borrowed into my brain, but I really want to rig up a list for a pure Rakdos cube.

    Sets [EMA] Eternal Masters Spoilers Thread

    Modern Masters and Vintage Masters have set a pretty strong precedent that almost all the commons and a good chunk of the uncommons are going to be dedicated toward crafting a draftable format. It's possible they'll let some chase commons and uncommons guide what limited archetypes they bake...

    Sets [EMA] Eternal Masters Spoilers Thread

    Rumors are going around that a few dealers have a full leak of the set list. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out if it's proven to be true.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Not to pick on you, but I think people get too hung up on using the specific words "counter target spell" rather than stopping certain types of spells and effects. Feed the Clan is one of the best counterspells ever printed against burn decks, etc. That said, cards like Remand and Delay seem...

    I do wonder how much influence Modern Masters (and to a lesser extent, VMA on MODO) have had in showing people that you can craft cubes (whether singleton or more like a draft sim set) that are based more around archetypes than just generic blue control, green ramp, and red aggro.

    There's no time for compassion when Eternal Masters is coming. Everyone for themselves!

    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    Topplegeist is a really well designed 1-drop. You don't feel bad casting it T1 to start beating down, but it's never a completely dead card and has more play to it than another Savannah Lions with some trinket text to hose the current Standard metagame. Love it!

    So at least on these uncommons, it feels like delirium adds no cost to the base card and is just a free bonus for getting your 'goyf style going. That flavor...

    Card/Deck The Gauntlet - Limited/Constructed Duel Decks

    (Disclaimer: I realize this project isn't completely on-topic in terms of cube building, but I think there's enough of a shared interest to make this a kosher thread. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to move it.) While I love cube, I'm always looking for other ways to have fun with casual Magic. In...
