well that's just dumb. to be clear, i used to do the same ('work with what i have'), and my cube got much, much better when i accepted a gift of high-quality dual proxies so my fixing wasn't bouncelands and signets. the cost constraint is just about the least interesting part of magic (a...

Sylvan Library fistful o' magic cards

Cube today was hilarious and fun in spite of my idiotic card choices. I'm going to try toning down the Gravecrawler stuff a little since "the Gravecrawler deck" looks a little too similar from week to week, and, if that doesn't work, I'll look for some more cross synergies beyond B/R devotion...

Sun Titan is better than Prime Time in Cube most of the time, I think. Looking at the context in which they see constructed play, this makes sense. Finding something to fish out 3 or less is easier than setting up a big Prime Time turn, it's either a guy that finds a couple lands or complete...

i tried this so y'all don't have to

i own 0 goyfs and i have one in cube. its power is context dependent, going from completely useless in grim mongo cubes to somewhere around a 2.5/3.5 here (if i had to name a number). i've thought about goyf and granularity in magic design (what if it cost 2.5? what if it was a */*+.5?) and it's...

needs the good ol anotak treatment (buffing imo) i feel the same way about teeg, nobody really played him over here, but i guess he'd be better with more wraths. maybe add in a second Green Sun's Zenith again to find him and QPM and the new Naturalize piker.

Because I want to dreamcrush my opponent without having to worry that my asscrack will end up on reddit. #YesAllMagicPlayers Because I want to be judged for the power of my cardboard, not the power of my shower. #YesAllMagicPlayers Because he stared at my [man]boobs the whole the whole time we...

There is a nice pvddr article about it http://www.channelfireball.com/home/pvs-playhouse-learning-to-play-lands/

a masterful satire, i would copy-and-paste this into my next fiction thing but audiences might find it a little too obvious

i have never seen a cube without QPM oic

can we talk about gaddock teeg

i LOVE terese nielsen's art, but most of my favorite terese pieces involve trippy shit like nature's spiral. natural order is a cat killing something, which is even better. i haven't minded most of the recent art, but the best art in Magic history is easily in Mirage block. it makes me think...

utopia sprawl is cool. i probably wouldn't add multiples to make a theme, but the arguments that "it's good enough elsewhere," "green possibly wants more 1-drop accelerants than singleton can provide," and "the theme is subtle enough in both size and upside" are convincing. the thing is, it's...

yes, i agree enjoying dissent is an important skill especially in a game where subjectivity is built into the very design

i don't want that so much as i want Blue to be strong enough to fit into 1-5 color decks, like the other colors. when people start talking about how 'the control deck' loses to the 'zombie deck' which has trouble with the 'zoo deck' i start to worry my archetypes are too rigid. when people say...

you are not permitted to run Natural Order if you use the portal art i generally think of omenspeaker as augur that whiffs 100% of the time. augur is better for development here and his ability is fun to draft around.

That is a steep power curve you have in the original post. I run only Slime, Primal Hunter, Tusk, and Silverheart in the interests of keeping the curve down (Boon Satyr is more of a 3). Ajani, Mentor of Heroes also shows up in my earch I also don't find many of the other options rich in...

teeg eh? never gotten anyone to be interested in him in my Cube. describe what teeg does over on your side of the pond p.s. i am an ash zealot man and would not consider running eidolon in standard burn but in cube he is great fun. if you have supported aggro cards like that and Sulfuric...

well then quit being a humorless moralistic white knight cuz this kind of auto-da-fe is exactly what makes other sites useless. it's not that i lack empathy -- i understand what you're saying -- it's just that i don't always care not to turn this into a meta-discussion of internet etiquette...
