I do love Netrunner and I hope you enjoy it, however once you get to deckbuilding you will probably notice that Netrunner does carry over one of the design problems that people have with constructed Magic: heavy-handed hosers to counter powerful cards. It is really not interesting to be blown...

Netrunner is fabulous. The original game was very good, but it had some big problems. The new release is very good and has some questionable design decisions, but so far no problems. It is very accessible and, importantly, it is still very early in the run. You could easily get completely...

My favorite card is kird ape. He's still the king of the beaters in my heart. My favorite cube card is shelter. My favorite constructed card is goblin grenade. When I'm playing constructed, I don't want to see your witty combo. I don't want watch you outplay me with your amazing gameplay...

Like I said before, I have blatantly stolen this idea. However, I have used to push most of my manafixing out of the cube into the supplemental draft. The only mana-fixing lands still in the cube are the Ravnica Shocklands, Onslaught/Zendikar Fetchlands and the 5 color lands. This was done...

I disagree with the assertion that casting spells is fun. That's probably the source of your curiosity.

I don't mean to say cube should play like limited. What I mean to say is that cube "looks" like a limited format, so it shouldn't surprise us that people will expect it to play like one and design it to play like one. When people figure out that their cube doesn't actually play out like it...

I wouldn't play Tinker with Elbrus. Even if it is a complicated Natural Order that can be disrupted, its over my over my threshold. I would probably play Tinker with Staff of Nin. The most abusive card I run with Tinker is Batterskull. I'm not sure I like it, but I'm living with it for...

I just added Tinker to my cube. The reason I added it was because I recently had taken out the last stupid tinker target: Myr Battlesphere. Tinker IS a fun card. Tinker is fun in the same way any tutor is fun: its lets you build a toolbox of answers or act as a second copy of your best card...

I think when people make a cube, they start with the wrong question. They ask, "What card so I want in my cube", when the should be asking, "What do I want my cube to do?" Then they get frustrated that their cube doesn't do what they want it to. I think people expect the principles of good...

When it comes down to it, cube looks like limited. It has the same rules as limited. It plays very much like limited. To that end, it shouldn't be at all surprising that people go into with the same mindset as playing limited, rather then trying to apply "what constructed decks look like."...

Don't forget vine trellis! People always forget vine trellis.

I currently have tagged electrolyze for removal once my DGM order comes in. I like the card and all, but as mentioned there are so many other similar cards that it is completely forgettable. See also: forked bolt, fireball, flames of the firebrand, aurelia's fury

I ran sunlance for a long time and it is very good. I like it much better then oust or condemn. The only reason I took it out was because I was because I wanted less removal in white, not because it wasn't pulling its weight. It hits such a large percentage of creatures, it is seriously sweet.

Mikaeus, the Lunarch has been the unexpected stud for us. I actually didn't even buy this card, I won it in prize pack from a retail draft. One day I just decided to give it a run and every game he just found ways to produce positive outcomes in ways other creatures simply wouldn't have been...

Magic is a very good game. I play it more then any other game I've ever played. I love cube, because it allows me to play magic without all of the baggage that accompanies constructed and retail limited. Overall, I'm a casual player in that, in the end, Magic is just one of the many games...

I believe I ordered 30 cards from this set. I don't think I've ever ordered this many cards from a single set, and this is a small set! And I didn't get Skylasher or Voice of Resurgence, although both are really good too, I just don't have a desire for the first or a spot for the second...
