    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Now this is interesting, since people end up passing Champ here frequently (not saying they should) and I have a monstrous amount of Humans. If only one person wants all the Vamps, is that good design? If all the people want the Vamps equally, is that good design? Cube (and design and art and...

    Jon's Graveyard Cube

    don't get me wrong mr metzger! bouncelands are sweet. tec edge is super-sweet. for some reason Jason has had good experiences with wasteland and we had quite the opposite one over here. your worries about Vengevine and friends are legitimate and IMO point towards the major difficulties of...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Faeries and Wizards are powerful on their own, though, K Highborn really isn't. Lacerator is a good card but then you need to make a pretty big black aggro section, don't you? Otherwise it's just a dude without a home. (The Gravecrawler / Griselbrand parable about people's bad Black sections...

    General Cubing at big events

    I have never tried it, though I realize there's little reason for this as I'm carrying four figures in a backpack already, and it's probably cost me some social opportunities with Wizards employees as if I were a flailing Kafka protagonist. AFAIK very few other contributors here play...

    ether page -- just play Druidic Satchel (or Primeval Bounty if you're feeling frisky, havent seen any lists with this one but i think it's worth a try somewhere!) white: could just be a taste thing but i get really excited about weathered wayfarer student of warfare eight-and-a-half-tails...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    Yeah it's clearly worse than Resto in Cube, but that means it goes later (who the hell passes Restos?) and in the right deck it can be more powerful. I dunno, I'm all for breaking singleton and stuff but GALEPOWDER

    Jon's Graveyard Cube

    i don't think you can cube tutor it, sadly i think being forced to soft-pedal the land death theme and then getting fucked over and over again by some dumb academy ruins / volrath's stronghold / other people's amazing lands loop was something that compelled me to cut bouncelands, so i could...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    realistically at least 24. there is not a single tribe that is 'naturally' supported in any cube except humans. i think jason's zombies is the only other one worth considering.

    I have found it very difficult to make White anything but very good in my Cube (I guess I just like GW, though I admit the idea of Crueling someone per Paul Cheon makes me a little wet) If you want to nerf White, M14 might be a nice model The double-color two-drops are good in Cubes with...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    I do like Lyzolda a fair bit (2nd-best set ever) and think it's worth considering esp with a recursion theme. Bloodghasts and Gravecrawlers and Lyzolda, fucking awesome (there's a good discussion about another 1br card over on the other forum too) I agree with Eric cards like Lacerator /...

    yeah, rats never really worked out. only one deck really wanted him, and not really that much whereas psychatog is frighteningly enormous, even by modern standards personal recommendation for util land stack: 4 tec edges

    General The Problem is the Solution is the Problem [Archetypal Design]

    Hmm, now this is interesting because over here almost everyone in green wants the mana dorks REAL BAD, so the ramp is usually split up (and when it isn't, it's a pleasant surprise.) Poison principle, archetype anchors, the necessity of some mono-dimensional cards like Goblin Guide etc. (which...

    Card/Deck SCD -- Fire Covenant

    ANYONE FOR HELLFIRE? other plague winds: Mass Calcify Austere Command Sleep Anyone tried these? Harsh Mercy Do or Die (neglected part of the FoF cycle along with other cards that ... aren't FoF) I kind of like Anowon, the Ruin Sage but it might just suck

    real quick: for madness i think you wanna consider Violent Eruption and Blast from the Past Tortured Existence is sweet for discard outlets and sac outlets i see the word "outlet" and think of sweet deals at big-box retailers in godforsaken locales. what should they cost? they should cost...

    Card/Deck SCD -- Fire Covenant

    Nah, they're vastly different. Rain costs 6 at sorcery speed, I was gonna test it out but then I compared it to some other card that I need help remembering and came up with a guess of "unplayable"

    Jon's Graveyard Cube

    Instincts was never good for me, I think because you had to take a creature. Sweet card and still worth fiddling around with, but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work out. My vote is for Salvage > Varolz but it does all depend on how many enablers you have and Varolz is pretty sweet
