harm's way is sweet. that's a good card. can one of y'all describe the effects it has on games? carom is my favorite limited trick of all time. GOD i miss RGD. i dunno if it's cubeworthy, though. probably not. put these in though AFTER YOU TRY GALEPOWDER THOUGH WTF.

the opposite of analysis paralysis is "exegesis kinesis." this is one of my finer jokes and it is a bummer nobody else agrees with me. i'm looking forward to playing FoW. as far as the other heavy-duty legacy counterspells go, i've found daze and spell pierce to be useless, though now that i...

also i humbly disagree with maro that there is such a thing as "too much hybrid" on the other hand i do not profit from my cube (unless you're counting saved money on beer expenses)

prophetic PRISM woulda been the best art decal +1 to everything except i love armageddon also, because i love you, i left not one but two offensive comments

anyone had good/bad experiences with far//away or turn//burn?

this looks sweet! to the end of "goes in anything with no work and is powerful" i strongly suggest the following cuts: dust bowl, strip mine, maze of ith, SKULLCLAMP, jitte, ankh of mishra, some number of swords (lol ponder, come on, it takes a pick to draft after all!) to the end of "not...

twilight shepherd?

sylvan is a ridiculous house and an amazing skill-tester and a draw engine in green. the life loss never matters ... until it does. i fucking love sylvan library. of course you guys are right about its confusing wording. for the few of us who don't know what to do with it i have to say, 'ok...

i think i wanna switch volrath's and ruins to the main cube, they're a little much. shizo and megaliths in or something

the low end of the curve is the problem isnt it? at least in constructed, bogle, stalker, geist are vomit-inducing, while thrun and troll ascetic are harmlessish

i am skeptical of any design that has in mind the support of "the ____ deck." somewhere in the GBS thread(?) a well-respected local judge and community doyen talked about "the boros deck," "the ww deck," and "the red deck" as if there were like 20 distinct decks and 20 decks alone you could...

i'm happy to run them by them -- after all, my cube is only as good as the people who come over and draft it -- but nobody is as into me designing my cube as myself, so i end up ambushing them with a different cast of fatties or a brilliant or terrible design choice. rain of daggers on the...

Lucre -- aren't we agreeing? (Just to be clear: The 4c reanimator deck is really sweet. It's also a small corner case. This goofy format is dominated by Junk Rites (best deck, don't kid yourselves), UWR, the basically mono-red Gruul -- if we have all the shocklands and mono-red is viable, why...

i understand the concept, i just find it useless as a description of how those cards work, and more interesting as a description of how other cards work / how people ludicrously misconceive of significant differences in cards

im gonna put rain of daggerz in my cube and not tell anyone

yeah but lucre you dont need to kill him. ignoring other planeswalkers comes with a steep penalty (especially the ones that can defend themselves). ignoring ajani cop means ... they have an ajani cop

hey dom! excellent article, great fun to read and see your thought process. my only concern is, having written one of these myself, how it worked was much worse than how it should have worked (find the mill you thread if you care to, one of my not-finer -- coarser? -- moments). looking back on...

PLAY CACKLER WTF

mmmmmm troll-worship. people were gonna make that a thing, but then they printed liliana, so then they tried to put auras on trolls, then they discovered that there were 8 hexproof one-drops. "no-fun" problems manifest themselves in modern in the form of the asinine bogle deck, whose power level...

ding ding ding. blah blah blah confirmation bias fallacy blah blah zac hill lying after he left the mothership ... the "4c goodstuff" problem is only a real concept to the extent people think it's a real concept. like god, if you stop believing in it, it will go away. i will say it's really...
