ugh LOR art is horrifying. one right answer for swamp

On topic for both: http://www.salon.com/topic/the_hack_list/ i think a lot of us are constrained in development by the lack of good feedback from our playgroups. how do y'all find your players? i'm like the only one that attends tournaments, so i get a fun mix of casuals (usually homies from...

I've been trying to buff removal -- ideally 2 mana, at least one of which is Black, gets you something pretty close to unconditional -- and Smother's drawback is so much worse in Cube than it is in Constructed how bout Aluren Phyrexian Reclamation

I'm not a Guay fan, but most of the homies are. Anyone wanna start an Art thread

good chat about this on skype today, the thrust of which is that fetches and duals are in roughly equal demand but duals are better without fetches than fetches are without duals, in the absence of a million shuffles. i really think it's worth a try

i have tried it and it didn't work, though it's possible i wasn't trying hard enough. in the skype thread ano suggested Heartless Summoning cards like this are my favorite suggestions, as when they work there's such enormous designer 'upside.' when they don't i can just take Zur the...

good discussion on the skype room today, gist of which was (as I read it) "if there are too many fixers in the funsies land draft, then nobody will take spell lands, but if this is true, then maybe there should be more fixers in the main cube, which might mean there shouldn't be fixers in the...

well, not everyone, but one of this site's achievements is IMO turning contrarianism into good ideas instead of playpen autos-da-fe you see elsewhere. i also don't see why anyone would have to make the logical leap of "published article X" ---> "opinions are the site's too," and why we should...

wall of denial is a little less annoying than maze of ith anyone ever seen this piece of fun before ith, high arcanist

25-30 a pop should do it for 8-mans, depends on how much fixing you have of course and it varies violently. dude drafting mono-red can really screw with the margins. it's not the end of the world when you dont have enough mountains but one thing i obsess about and am ashamed to obsess about is...

eh, the other argument is that you can wait to pick up fetches 'til later as there are only 3 on-color duals for a 3-color deck but 9/10 on-color fetches. in practice i see it work out more this way. your life total is a really important resource in modern too taking 3 is no joke and (nearly)...

Eh, I disagree on almost all points. First of all, don't we fire shots at MTGS and Usman et al. all the time, to good results? Isn't fearing a backlash from people who don't matter the worst possible reason not to do something? I spend a lot of time playing paper Magic and meeting and talking to...

ah, but maybe it would be the kind of traffic we want. we're a bunch of drunken sarcastic contrarian assholes, are we not? sometmes we're even catty. should we signal for kindred spirits?

I think it's worth a slot, it might not be for you though My biggest suggestion is to try 25 fetchable duals and see what happens, if only for a week. 10 ABU + 10 Shocks + godless shrine, overgrown tomb, breeding pool, steam vents, sacred foundry Last thing: Primal Hunter. Dog can keep up...

melissa detora frank lepore ari lax patrick chapin drew levin mike flores usman jamil aj sacher any interest in a top8 worst mtg writers article? should drive some traffic here

Goes both ways because people aren't all that into signaling in Cube, the power level is flatter, and we'll wheel at least one sweet one I think if I were playing FOR SERIOUS I'd uh I dunno. I'd take Relic I guess, maybe Image or DT

if nothing else this forum can help with that

mhm

That looks about right, though I do think funsies land draft should have 1 fixer per guild, something color-appropriate. The WWK manlands are iffy IMO because they're really strong cards in the Cube itself. My ideas are these, but some amount of buddy-lands or SOM fast-lands should be considered...
