The nice thing of seeding is that you actually have to draft the lands, so you get not only the fighting over fixing, but also different distributions because a 4-color drafter naturally is more hungry for mana fixing than a 2-color drafter. I don't mind that :) What I like about seeding like I...

All of Kirblinx's Most Liked Posts of 20XX threads are S-tier (here's a link to the latest one). They contain links to all posts that garnered 10 (give or take 1) or more likes in the year they were posted, and it's been running since 2015! Honestly, they should contain nearly all (if not indeed...

You can only play one land per turn, and lands by definition don't have a casting cost. Though I agree it's a more flavorful solution, it plays much worse and is much harder to design for. A new permanent type requires a bunch of additional rules, so it better be worth it when you introduce a...

Hadn't seen it either, very interesting read. I'm at 64 fixing at 450, but I seed my boosters to always include at least 1 land. I wonder how that changes the math. So, according to this article, you should run 60 lands in a 360 cube, which translates to 75 in a 450 cube. That's 16.7% of the...

What else should they be? Even in modern times, the Theros gods with their "I'm not a creature unless X" templating only work because they have two card types, enchantment and creature. The lurker creatures certainly aren't artifacts, and they aren't creatures unless some specific event happens...

I never had too much trouble with wrapping my head around the concept of sleeper enchantments. It's funny how our reception of these concepts differ so much between persons. I always interpreted the enchantments as being the "presence of danger", but the monster needs a trigger to get lured out...

What I meant (and what I said) is that these do not necessarily feel like enchantments. Obviously there are enchantments, like Font of Fortunes, that sacrifice themselves to draw cards, but it's not an ability that is particularly associated with enchantments. There are 17 creatures that...

That's another solid point. I agree that nothing about that text box at all signals that you're looking at an enchantment. Really, it's only the frame and the type line that tell you it's an enchantment, and nothing else, and that's what's confusing people. It's just not, as MaRo would call it...

Yes, because they live in the command zone, they don't go into your hand. They're basically spell tokens, that cease to exist as soon as they are cast :) PS. By the way, I'm stoked that you are still using scrolls @Chris Taylor :D

I'm typically only looking at a card's border peripherally, my main focus is on the art. Obviously you can tell these are enchantments, if you are looking for it, but the main nuisance (because I wouldn't call it a problem per se) is that the artwork on the enchantment cards themselves is not...

Yeah, you're completely right, but I don't like being cynical, so I just recognize it for what it is, understand why it is what it is, shrug, and move on. I'm not playing MtG because of MaRo or his articles, I'm playing it because it's a cool game. I'll ignore what doesn't work and embrace what...

Krosan Tusker is a green Divination with several upsides*, that's pretty sexy. *instant speed, can't be countered, bins a fatty for reanimation/recursion purposes, is a fatty split card in the late game

Oooooh.... Am I right? Probaby not, because this has only one printing...

Do you have delirium cards in your cube? Because if so, Tanuki is two card types that you can easily bin.

Mainly the Dack Fayden art in FLooting (thinking this was perhaps the un-clue) and the various library manipulation cards in your set.

The Sort does something weird. Compare your default sort (the top one) with an edited sort that uses 'Color Category' as the primary sort instead of 'Color Category Full'. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/8vdn https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/8vdn?s1=Color+Category I have no idea why this is...

Is it... ?

Maybe the clue is silver-bordered and banned in constructed play :P

English people be wondering what a bed-ring is, and what God has to do with it :P (obviously it's a halo that protects you from sinful dreams!)

This thread has derailed into prime shitposting. And it wasn't even my doing! :D Back on topic, what about SEC, or Signposted Emergent Cloudbursting? (Yes, I made it a verb!) The idea is that you make a conscious effort to layer in cloudburst decks that consist mostly of broadly applicable and...
