    Alphez's first Cube! Suggestions are very welcome :)

    Big green spell slots for Ramp I personally think are best filled with either scaling cards or powerful search tools. Two of my absolute favorites: Genesis Wave Tooth and Nail They both require investment into the deck, scale with cube power levels, and reward good deck building. I also do like...

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    I got double sniped while writing my own counterpoint :rolleyes:. Seriously, any data on this would be A+.

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    I wasn't referring to you, only arguments in general. In fact, none of my posts are aimed just at you, because I'm trying to include the rest of the community. For the vast majority of cubes over in the cube lists thread, this change as laid out would be a big mistake for them, even if they...

    That is how someone makes an argument, else debates would take a million years as everyone lays out every single scrap of evidence at every turn. In any case, I think the fact that you have to compare these cards to design mistakes and GRBS is telling enough. I like that you bring up the titan...

    That looks like Kira, Great Glass-Spinner. EDIT looks like Chris was closer with Shimmering Glasskite

    I'm definitely with Onder on this one, it should have been put into use long before now, they are fun to play, and they'll be fun to try out. I also personally find the symbol aesthetically pleasing. Sol Ring getting {c}{c} looks cool to me. I've so far tested out Endbringer in Jori En edh, and...

    Sigh, a Cube

    Made my next size decrease step! Finally worked it down to 405, inspired by posting in Alphez's list thread. Tried to squeeze out weak, narrow, or "duplicates" that I no longer feel need duplicating. My removals were as follows: Cathars' Crusademaster of waveszulaport cutthroatharness by...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'd have really liked if grave scrabbler didn't have that seemingly random adder of "if you madnessed it", but I guess that'd be too strong in that environment? Or was done to give incentive to use madness. In any case, yeah a little bit of a bummer. I've looked at tortured existence time and...

    Sigh, a Cube

    Neat little deck I drafted today. Pushing the curve a little high, but meh. It's been far too long since I've drafted this thing IRL, it's bugging the heck outta me.My next project with this deck is to run this cube with Tenchester drafting, because our groups are rather small usually. I plan on...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Are there any madness cards worth running? Really on a brainstorming spree recently around incremental advantage environments, inspired by Jund decks, flashback, rotting rats, and pulse of murasa, among other things. The ones I can see that I'd seriously think running. Any thoughts?: ichor...

    Alphez's first Cube! Suggestions are very welcome :)

    The way I think of it is: Higher card diversity is variety you can control, a bigger cube is variety you (generally) can't control. I've been pondering myself dropping down a little in size, further than I have. I started out at ~430, and am at 415 now. I haven't missed the 15 cards, and my next...

    Guess the Magic Art!

    Do you know how many double consonant words there are in MtG? A lot. There are a lot. #5 is takklemaggot PS. I'd die if I actually had to play with/against that card. Wall of text here we come.

    #6 very clever hint. Confirmed my suspicions about the card being geist of the moors

    Sigh, a Cube

    Small removal update! Firstly, yes I've seen shadowborn demon in action. It's extremely good in my cube. Finisher and stabilizer all in one, because of the 6 toughness, the removal, and the large variety of juicy things you want to be saccing. With all the response/personal feelings that removal...

    General Fight Club

    I'm not sure that I'd want the "black sac" deck to get this card. Look at all the support the average cube is giving it. Innocent blood? Fleshbag marauder? why not give UB control, GB rock, etc a counterplay card? EDIT: And if we want to move outside of black more, here we go: tuktuk the...

    General Fight Club

    That was my first assumption, but I'm trying to value the better counterplay against this package we almost all seem to value very highly: gravecrawler bloodsoaked champion bloodghast carrion feeder doomed traveler xathrid necromancer flesh carver hangarback walker etc etc. And as you...
