    Article Parnell's Aggro: Subtractive Design

    I enjoyed his article pretty much and I have to say that I actually run all of the aggro offenders he listed. (To be fair, both Huntmaster of the Fells and Kitchen Finks are very likely to be picked by aggro players just as likely as they are to be picked by midrange/anti-aggro decks.) I don't...

    Required Reading

    Yeah, but even then you can filter this kind of stuff out. It's not like everyone always makes good assumptions anyway. That's why I believe you need some repertoire of references so you have some idea on which points might be valid or not. Also, never trust forum people. Never. Not even...

    Required Reading

    This thread is why I love this community s2s2 Don't think I have many articles or material that are specifically great concerning cube design, but I will unload some of my favorites on game design here. Most will be focused on digital game design, but I guess you can filter the content and get...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Graveyard Hate

    Well, you could even try going the other way around including some mill strategies as counterbalance. (Like dumping your deck like that, don't you? So here is your whole deck in your graveyad then, good luck trying to draw a card, dude!) Again, mill is not a very easy to support archetype, so it...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Graveyard Hate

    I'm not exactly sure what is the problem now. Is it all kind of reanimation strategies or mostly Crucible+Wasteland and Loam+Raven's Crime that are giving you trouble? You could try cutting both Wasteland and Raven's Crime if those are your main issue. I ran you cube through TappedOut about...

    Article Rethinking Red

    I really like the fact that you are giving more love to Faithless Looting, as it is one of red coolest spells. Another card that you might play that is great with storm is Guttersnipe. Also, Flame Jab might also be cool in this type of deck as a cheap source of spells and a way to get rid of...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Graveyard Hate

    For additional grave hate, I have Withered Wretch. I don't think it is as bad as people try to make him. It is a good enough creature that happens to be friends with Gravecrawler. Nezumi Graverobber has been less impressive in my cube as it seems that he is a bit too hard to flip on average. I...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    Hey guys, thanks for the comments. @Eric: Thanks a lot! The spreadsheet took me a while to get togheter, especially because I was trying to use a scripting API to auto-fetch all the card data, but the database was out of date and I spent way too much time before getting pissed, ditching the...

    Pendrell's Cube (576 cards, powered, uses a test pool)

    NOTE: This thread is retired, but the spreadsheet still points to the updated version of the cube. Hey guys, decided to post my list here to see if I get some feedback. I have a thread at ol' sally, but never got much feedback there, so I figured it would be good to post it here as well. I'll...

    RipLab Marketing

    I think it might be good enought as is. Tagging does try to improve visibility for topics, so it was definitely weird having a "hidden" tag. I think this might be enough for a while, but hey, we are here to test new ideas and see how they work. If tagging or categories start to split the...

    RipLab Marketing

    Just my 2 cents: I think that before any more serious undertaking in gathering more users, we should try to organize the threads a little, maybe adding categories for stuff like (post your cube here), (card/archetype evaluations), and whatnot. With more users, we will get more threads and...

    General Playing Favorites < 3

    Overall: Kozilek (best commander top deck ever) Cube: Dark Confidant with Geist of Saint Traft a close second (I like bob the most, but the tempo deck that plays gost is way cooler) Contructed: Long time since I don't play constructed, but most likely Remand. I have fond memories of Vinelasher...

    Article ChannelFireball: Dragon's Maze Review

    I really liked the fact that the article dodged the common pitfal of spending a whole paragraph for each card just to point ou what the card has written on it for most of the time :) I disagree with Pyrewild Shaman, as it is not simply a pump effect. Yes, it is better as a pum effect, but also...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    Hi Jason, just noticed you are not running Vinelasher Kudzu. I feel like it is a card that would work out wonderfully in your cube. Have you tested it yet? (reference)
