a stylistic feature of the Will Newton character is that he struggles to articulate truths without at least one of "i mean" "you know" etc. but slithers over falsehoods with nary a nervous tic. subtle literary genius, self-indulgent stupidity, or both?

Hey, Wadds: we Cubed for the first time in 4 weeks (SCG hangover, halloween, etc.) and the Zombie theme brought great joy to everyone. I will say it was very gratifying getting machine-gunned by a gravecrawler, carrion feeder, and blood artist. if anything the power is too high. kind of...

Boon Satyr is very very good in Standard, it's your classic variance-reducing split card that's just pretty good all the time. Cube is richer with him in there. Avenger is cool too but probably only one of those flash 1GG dudes is best. Avenger is more of a constructed card as Flash and...

my god i love all these cards. they really went all-out on making an excellent product that has appeal for everyone here. haven't gotten to play with deluge yet (only 3/5 of my cube was drafted last night) but the zombie curse is awesome

"restrictions breed creativity," said the mtg grinders after another poor finish left them penniless for a trip to Lincoln, NE so they had to sleep in one of the guys' 1995 lebaron and huddle against each other for warmth ("the aristocrats")

Chris: mono-colored? WWK cycle is always a blast, friend was designing enemy color manlands too. something like 1R -- 3/1 first strike 1W -- 2/2 lifelink 1B -- 2/1 unblockable 1U -- 2/2 flying? fae conclave is pretty good already --- i agree with jason about cycle lands and "cards you...

nahh wadds it's much worse than that. these are ideas i'm having now and failing to communicate as explicitly as i ought to. e.g. work too much -- one of the main ideas is that CML cannot have a 9-5 because of sleep difficulties, also, his friends gradually splinter due to lack of time and...

as for ranger of eos you get a nice 3/2 with the deal. you'd think this wouldn't matter, but they made some hokey ardent plea stuff and then they made a 2/2 + a spell for 1UG and it was more of a big deal. (i for one was hugely surprised by this)

FINE ILL TRY IT AGAIN you know how i hate green cards

the general difficulty with loam (i'll say again) is that the big support cards are by and large poor on their own, but uh Arbor -- utility land draft as is very bad without GSZ, Dryad Arbor IMO is a bad design (someone correct me if i'm historically wrong) as a 1/1 creature land's drawbacks...

Boon Satyr and Avenger are both lots of fun, not a lot going on at cmc=3 in mono-Green (though of course there's every G/x card in the universe from Edric to Putrefy to Ram-Gang to KOTR) but how about something like Borderland Ranger Reverent Hunter Bow of Nylea Santa Claus Wolfir Avenger /...

is tangle wire fun? (in a riptide-style cube i mean)

addendum: in case anyone missed it https://twitter.com/CML_ebooks

i wrote this in reply to mr skrap: ah, wonderful stuff. thank you mr. skrap (if that really is your name). jason also pointed out the conversation following thing. i'll try and fix it. (i stole the unattributed dialogue idea from waugh.) glad it works well when it's not just completely...

skrap weighed in via PM, hoping that can make its way over here actively soliciting feedback along these lines: -so how to make it translate better into the lives of people who have no foreknowledge of me? jason says it'd be better if it were more explicitly in 2011, "garfield" was my HS...

"poor people buying luxury goods" seems like an appropriate topic for a magic forum edit: usually i don't have enough bad things to say about wotc coverage and EDH but the vintage champs are a pleasure right now and at least the esper EDH deck is stacked with fantastic cards.very tasteful

no i'm with you there 100%. tried Vela? have unfulfilled and silent-blade been good for you?

eh, better is defensible from the standpoint of "better options design-wise since though f precise balancing, there can only be so many gold cards in a particular guild" but i don't even know if i agree with that one. all blue multi-color sections are pretty small in my cube from lack of options...

it's just a bid for readerly sympathy. the narrator is otherwise too unlikeable. can someone confirm that this is in fact the worst article ever written and i am not going insane...

these kinds of topics are very fascinating and your post was a pleasure to read. riptidelab and theorycraft have given me a lot of great ideas, but if i'm really being honest with myself it's also the playgroup's feedback that has shaped my cube. i am going to now write a lengthy aside about...
