    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    hi doodz my Cube's blue decks have been known to suck donkey dick, their inability to beat Naya Midrange types only became a defect when everyone got bored of making giant monsters and beating "Jace" over the head with them, which took at least six months (and we still play standard!)...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    OK i decided to stop supporting the stupid blue devotion theme (until the next set comes out, at least) so i threw in radical design choices like counterspells and card draw. here are some adventurous (read: extremely bored) additions i also made for no reason

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    SC1 was immeasurably better than SC2, which saddens me as i wanna love SC2 a lot earlier this week i had to get up early for a guild meeting, so i ingested some "phenibut" and am now working on a nice addiction. i hope this one is as rewarding as magic cards. anyone else gone for it? (there's...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    a little better, a little tougher to cast second dom's thoughts on overload, not that i think mechanics as such are important for creating a good draft set, but it's one of those few mechanics where they really get it right

    General Color matters / devotion

    quick hits! -i don't think NWO design would smile upon devotion on an instant when the entire mechanic is based around dumping shit into play, the constructed decks play "bad" cards like Judge's Familiar and Frostburn Weird and Underworld Connections for this reason, and most of the gripes...

    General CFB Store Credit Contest Ideas

    i can answer that if you give me about 125,000 words, six months and a healthy advance i like wadds's idea but creating such an environment to the point where it works well is a herculean task. whereas overlaying some finer ideas on existing shells is more realistic / a healthier metaphor for...

    The OkCupid Experience

    i need a better headshot, as it's one of the few places where guys are judged mainly by their looks, especially in seattle where everyone has money anyway (except me!) and so the metagame tends towards "classically handsome" see also: "zac and mirri make a porno"

    General stock cube biases

    people aren't having as much fun cubing as they ought to be. now as far as tragedies go in MTG this is not a huge one in comparison to "god Theros games are miserable" or "why don't the top players in this massively successful and profitable game, one of the best games of all time, make a...

    General multicolor aggro

    this is the penultimate in my series of design principles that, in my mind, differentiate the cube thought process here from most everywhere else in Magic. scraps of these thought processes exist elsewhere -- i am greatly indebted to Rob Van Leuven of Seattle for yelling at me to support aggro...

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    the planeswalker is a card type loathed by the conventional cube world, mainly because they are too willfully stupid to design their cube in such a way that someone could answer one in a timely fashion ("multicolor aggro? what's that??? here, have another thran dynamo), and also because they...
