The madness reminder templating isn't consistent with SOI fiery temper... I'm not convinced. This is templated like the old madness. They already have out a new official reminder text, or at least as official as a wiki will be: Madness (cost) (If you discard this card, discard it into exile...

Lot of good suggestions above, and in prior posts, but I'm with Onder here! Test time :). You can start figuring out for yourself what's underwhelming and overwhelming just by asking people how it went. Keeping super detailed account at least the first couple times helps, and helps us help ;).

Listened up to his talk; it's cool hearing about removing complaining from your life. Very well presented, and a super clean and easy concept. Tempted to try it out myself. A more pleasant happier you will be more pleasant and happier to all those around you, including your cube groups! :)

Agree, an excellent design. I find myself excited! Look at this unique angle that white is offered :D . Tying white to having things in your graveyard? A controlling card that's not a 2-3 drop enchantment, but still works for your board as whydirt points out? Think this is perfect for helping...

Agree very much with this. I've tried a few times with some of them. The clear winner of commander PW design has to be Daretti. They are all awesome though. In my own environ, switching Nissa, worldwaker for Freyalise.

I'm really liking the almost strict upgrade to Ghostway! EDIT: nameless inversion

An important part of card evaluation is recognizing the Average Case Scenario. How many Titans are you running that can stay in the yard? What are more likely candidates for things needing to be regrown? If you are using vengeful to regrow a bomb, could it not just be a bomb? Is it in line with...

Wizard's site seems to be having trouble getting older articles, but according to them and I'm sure other sources, casual is the largest percentage of players in MtG. If that's what we are concerning ourselves with. My group all play it, testing out weird UB specter decks, bear decks, werewolf...

That is an excellent base! I'm really liking the layout and how things can overlap handily. For instances: U/R 'spells matter' + U/x 'tokens' = URx 'token spells matter' G/B 'Dredge-style recursion' + U/B 'reanimator/self-mill' = GBU 'Dredge sytle reanimator and self-mill' G/B 'Dredge-style...

The artifact "hatebears" of choice are phyrexian revokerspellskite and I see you already have the revoker. You already have deal broker, which does fine supporting reanimator. bonehoard also does work supporting creatures-in-GY strategies. I like your suggestion of seer's lantern. Card is...

It can probably work out fine that way, just know that a lot of the incidental cards, literally every one of them you mentioned at least, are very good and probably highly picked. This can make the "low end" of the artifact-themed list hard to acquire. Someone's gunna have to basically mop those...

I like all 11 of those changes :D! I've found ~40 multicolor cards has worked well for me @405, with 5 or so three color anchors. That seems to be almost exactly what you have now so yay. I'm sad about a couple of them going, namely Sidisi cuz she's awesome imo, but I think it's a worthwhile...

Well, there's a thread called "Archetypes", might be useful to at least take a gander: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/archetypes.874/ In my mind, the major archetypes that are thrown around in discussion on most cubes are (some fairly obvious): Rx aggro (recursive and not) Ux control...

It's a horrible deal when lined up against one-shot spells, but this is added value onto things you are already doing. That's 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 taps with your Merfolk looter, and using a mana gives you a magical bonus on top of your card selection. Now, the three mana initial investment means the...

No need to apologize for being interested in something, there's nothing wrong with showing interest. Another thing that there's no shame in doing is changing one's mind, which I think I'm slowly doing. Slide does seem a little narrow on multiple counts. I will say that format suggestions above...

Alphez's post is basically a sweet step-by-step through the design skeleton process. What the skeleton enables is an external handbrake on overloading in spots, gives you a set of guidelines right from the start. This helps with paralysis and helps cuts and inclusions be more independent from...

growth spasm Probably this if it's doesn't have to stay in {G}: pawn of ulamog There's not much choice beyond that for low CMC's, sadly. Second Nest Invader?

I still fail to see how ET can't do this too. I've played it for years in D&T and it's always a surefire way to find that one piece of utility, or those lonely answers. Makes me sad, or mad, or something, that testing hasn't proven it out. Citadel Siege oblivion ring temporal isolation bow of...

I think one key way we may be mis-classifying Astral Slide is that the deck exists without it. "The astral slide deck" can just be the same blink deck, but with an astral slide in it. The Burning Vengeance deck is just a deck with flashback spells without burning vengeance, but can still be a...

I don't actually see a way to sort that way, but an interesting "cheat": 1) right click the row of column headers and click "Card List columns" 2) check mark "Illustrator", then OK that 3) preface all your artist names with the cmc (I know this is manual, but eh) Example would be "4 Chris...
