    For a few months I was running Jack-in-the-Mox, which would 1/6 of the time blow up in your face and other times would tap for colorless. I thought it was great fun (and, on some level, it was great fun) until one of our competitive heroes claimed it was "the best card in the Cube by far," which...

    Yeah, that sounds about right for those sets. My advice is to look for stuff that overlaps multiple archetypes, i.e. RW/GU could share Adventuring Gear or WB/GW could share Hopeful Eidolon. But then that commits you to a lower-power-level format, which comes with its own restrictions. If it...

    Ya but who am I unless I hold myself to a higher standard? Maybe MJ gets away with it because he admits he's wrong sometimes, which is my strategy, but it fits in so, so poorly with the Magic gestalt and nerd social fallacies in general

    the depressing thing is riplab could do pretty much anything and be considered by the Lee Dulles of the world to be the same one way or the other. this leads me to believe we should grandstand in the most absurd and indefensible way possible cuz f it dom you must have some suggestion

    yo Wadds you'd post the same (esp. about a poster who had stuck around for a while) and feel the same, way plus there's a substantive sentence or two below. come on now, we've gotta be above getting all twatty on a third party's account, or else who the hell are we? beyond that cut out the...

    I apologize for my tone. I mean not to beef with you but Moxen. Moxen do make for a busted start with no drawback and an impoverished drafting dynamic. If I read between the lines I can interpret (however tendentiously) that your post does a good job of arguing against them: -Moxen are less...

    Isn't the argument that Moxen quash diversity by worsening games, though?

    Ridiculous argument, there are all kinds of decks that don't want Wasteland in Vintage and Legacy and (most indicatively) Cube. Its power level is nowhere near that of a Mox. I've said it before and will say it again: the bad posts on this forum aren't bad because the thought processes are...

    absurd assessment, +'ing to defend himself is huge, the ultimate is devastating, and the emblem is really powerful. this reads like FNMers saying "bad elspeth? you mean the one that only makes one 1/1 at a time??" ashi can be very good but is much less consistent and much less powerful...

    Ashiok is beefy but it doesn't pressure the opponent to do something urgently in the same way other PWs do. I think that's fun, playing against it has a different feel than playing against other PWs. It also has a high chance of doing nothing if it dies in Constructed, which makes it better in...

    Like most power (or shit like Balance in non-power Cubes) you can file these cards under "things that are cool to do once," which describes how I feel about powered cubes themselves. Some of the nuttier effects, not necessarily power, that you find in other people's Cubes and not Riptide ones...
