As I lurch towards adulthood I have found I have not only less time for the things I love, but also the things I hate. This weekend I was to go to a soccer game during the Saturday morning prerelease and to teach various pointless lessons during both Sunday prereleases, and midnight prereleases...

i dunno, galepowder is pretty low-power over here (though it does go well with birthing pod), but i imagine there are cubes that want both, one, or neither

but it should be fun which is why i went to the prerelease on mushrooms

this entire debate is a giant waste of time. has anyone played with the card yet? (i haven't)

I WISH THIS WORKED :( people would get a bunch and not play most of them. the snake format is perfect for these cards.

the libertarian will note the 25932857 posts devoted to detailing "what happened when we tried this and why it didn't work" i think a decent place to start (aside from those threads) would be 4 nightveils, 4 thassas, 4 masters, 4 cloudfins, and another 8 or so devotion slots. for an encore you...

nah, those cards are a little more flexible. for example, people pick them over other cards, put them in decks, and use them to win games. (i'm all for the anti-power-max mindset but pretending Cloud of Faeries fits in one of our Cubes gets us nowhere, of course trying to put it in once will...

you never want to draw 42.5% lands in a 17-land deck, always fewer, but the penalty for flood is lesser than the penalty for screw (even if screw often beats flood)

now this is true, but then Dack could do nothing vs aggro which is depressing there are all sorts of engines in modern Magic (from Phyrexian Arena to Ephara to Bloodbraid Elf!) and I'd argue strongly "runaway card advantage" was a much bigger thing "back in the good old days," what with...

i think it's OK to be reactionary so long as there's a liberal dose of self-awareness and acknowledgement of one's own limitations when it comes to evaluation and judgment (everything is always in a perpetual state of decline! kids these days -- I can't help it!) not everyone has artifacts...

That's the interesting thing -- conventional Cube curves look exactly like retail limited (tasteless pants bulge at 4), but on here the curves are much lower ... nevertheless, I often find myself running 17 lands, even with say "naya midrange with some pods and 3 dorks." They aren't all that...

but he can't ruin the game when it's already been ruined!

Oh, it is. I mean, you're certainly right that U is the worst color for it, and it represents a big cost in a Cube without much fixing like yours, but it's still so overwhelmingly strong esp. given said Cube's lowish power level that, well, you know. I'm not sure "U/G Opposition is the best...

oops, you can't "attack" artifacts and enchantments. those card types' non-interactivity have been proven again and again in venues from Vintage Stax to Legacy Enchantress to Modern Affinity to the low-removal, unpopular limited environments of SOM and Theros, I'm not sure how one would go about...

Most of what Dom's suggested is identical to what made me despair for this kind of thing earlier, it's just that other decks don't want these cards at all so it all becomes rather poisony in addition to being underpowered and having by the nature of Cube a lot of 'bad fair' matchups. Looking at...

i swear modo's coin-flips actually are rigged, though

i dunno, it might be OK since they wasted some tempo bouncing your thing i like the artifact-stealing thing and you should too because Cube needs more ways to deal with Artifacts. Arts and enchantments are way more annoying than walkers in a vacuum because you can't steal them, and you can...

dack is awesome you guys are fools if you're not at least testing it. of course it could still be no fun at all.

If it fits well for a powermax cube for lovers of artifacts, must be great fun for those of us who don't edit: graveyard and looting themes are so lame ... said nobody ever
