    General Weekly Fun Q: Which land would you rather live in?

    Small issue with the above: None of those places have internet. Or Magic Cards.

    In a perfect world, this would be an option, but "hexproof from control decks" is probably beyond the scope of what they want out of this mechanic

    General CBS

    I used to feel the same, but looking at where the mechanic is actually used, everything printed into standard has ward 1, 2, 3, discard a card, or exactly 3 life, preportional to their cost and color. Iymrith, Desert Doom has conditional ward 4, and I've already explained why I love that...

    Only here can I wax poetic about how a card manages to occasionally trade card/mana neutral as a 5 drop for ~400 words and somehow that ends up being a selling point:p I should clarify: This isn't a dig. I do actually run this card, after all

    General Gold Plated Cards

    Honestly the mind just gets its rankles up when literal gold is involved, you end up feeling guilty by what else this could be doing. Contrapoints goes into this icky feeling here if you have 5 minutes. Once you get to the end of her bit about buzzfeed you'll get my reference here, but the video...

    I just wanna give a shoutout to a mechanic we all love and heap some praise on it: Ward fucking rocks And not just because it's not hexproof, though it does deserve praise for that as well (not that they've stopped with that bullshit) I was watching Jeff Hoogland's spoiler review of the...

    Given how weak D-Tutor is in my cube, this might just be find translated to "search"

    General Do You Not Update?! A poll to discuss static cubes

    I feel like this fits well into option 4 I'm not quite as zealous as you, but I do the same :P

    I just wanted to share the joke, I'm making a new catcar with the nerfs in place to help differentiate :P

    General 2 Card Archetype [Shitpost]

    You know for a second there I forgot people don't like proxies and was wondering why people would have an issue with you putting actual legal magic cards in your deck

    General Alchemy

    Discover is one of the few ways to introduce actual truly novel decisions into a game. You can plan for what's in your deck, you can make a bit of a plan (Meta game wise) for what's in your opponents deck, but when you're just getting cards from the game writ large? That's something you can't...

    General Alchemy

    I mean we view these as paper only players would because we want to cube with them. We're here to cube, and (AFAIK) there's what, one person here with an arena cube? Even talking about them in terms of pure game design is helpful, in its own way.

    There's also rebalances of standard top dogs: This is legitimately interesting. One cat but crew two makes removing the car a lot more palatable. Same idea here, goldspan losing the psudo ward means you won't just get mana leaked off killing it before it gets an attack off If I'm putting any...

    General Cultic Cube video series

    It occurs to me some here may not have heard the best FoF story, back from it's time in standard. To set the scene, we're in a post board game between two of the main decks at the time: UB control (Basically FoF and a pile of counterspells, including the original), and RG Fires (A midrangey...
