    Card/Deck Theme in black and white

    You know, BW sucking is a common problem in MTGS cubes because it lacks the tools to compete with the U decks, but I never had that issue. The unifying theme is "virtual card advantage" or "mana efficiency" or "value" exemplified by cards like Lingering Souls and Sculler, which is why those...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    gray merchant is pretty broken when you play it t3 instead of spending 2 turns playing permanents that might have black mana symbols, really it's almost as next-level as the empty-board evoked shriekmaw and only slightly less decisive than the sphinx's for 8 with 7 cards left in library. even...

    it's a pretty bad card in fair contexts, i'd be worried more about a lack of power than anything else

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    Domri is def worth a slot The way cantrips end up being taken in my Cube is every blue deck will have a couple, and nobody will splash for them. This is fine with me. Brainstorm takes a lot more work than the other cantrips since it's so bad without fetches (or some other way to abuse it...

    Rewind is worse than Cancel. What is the Cube control deck gonna do with all that mana EOT, cast Mystical Teachings?

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I heard that game was way better than Magic from multiple sources who can be trusted on this matter. It filled me with narcissism and rage when some of the stated reasons were "all the cards were playable" (i.e. flat power curve) and "all the cards did more stuff" (i.e. high decision density)...

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    I'm on board with buffing blue by buffing the "Brainstorm package." The question is how to develop it: -Is a weak interaction with Lash Out enough to justify Lash Out's inclusion? -Is synergy with a card I don't otherwise like in Future Sight enough to justify Future Sight's inclusion...

    HAHAHAHH good find. I updated it and put it on my blog, things have kind of gotten out of control. Nowhere in Magic will publish it, so I've redone it for mainstream consumption and will be exploiting my few connections at full throttle to get this published somewhere with 203952x the...

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    yeah to say nothing of Miracles. how many brainstorms? 8/450? are we gonna use the top effects in addition to fetches, or are we gonna add more fetches (say 25/450) to compensate?

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    yeah, blue beats in legacy is pretty mono-dimensional and a lot of it had to do with a weakness to spot removal. think of it is as a counterweight to Abrupt Decay, though it's bad against golgari charm and shit. CT you goof Tarmogoyf is a super-interesting card in cube and legacy and I am...
