aetherling is sweet enough BUT bear in mind it's not a 6-drop in the vein of frost titan. it's not THAT strong as a cube card. the whole point of the card w/r/t constructed is to be able to collapse your win-con into 1-2 slots. like once you stabilize who cares when you play it. for cube it's...

i'm in favor!

THAT SON OF A BITCH HAD HEXPROOF. seriously though i think the other days-plus have interesting variations in functionality, like hallowed burial costs 5 and is usually a little stronger with the graveyard themes, but then recycling the creatures can f up your anti-survival plan or blow other...

aetherling, blood scrivener, ral zarek, ruric thar, sire, spike jester, varolz, voice is my current platoon, but i like gold cards i could be convinced to shitcan bartleby ruric thar is sweet and awesome and also cool

oh gosh eric you're too kind. chris, my big preference is for a variety of effects that can't be jammed indiscriminately and aren't always wham-bam-thank you ma'am-first picks. i guess they can't suck either like gloomdrifter or planar collapse but most of the other dislikes are based on that...

middle finger X=7 i've taken to describing fat people at the tourneys around here as "slime molding for X" where 4 = matignon, 6 = brad nelson, 8 = jabba the hutt

i like jason's idea of raising and flattening the power curve of fixing in cube. this enabled me to save some slots in the main cube, since people would actually play the fixing. compare this to the unfavorable situation of DGR draft, where cluestones exist but suck. typical cube fixing is...

back in the day, when men were men and creatures were shit, control ruled magic like the dragon king ruled westeros. it was 'interactive' in the sense that big brother was 'interactive' with winston smith, or an autistic person is 'interactive' with you on a date: the blue mages may not have...

i am not a mana rock dude (surely not a signet dude) but i am a land dude!

right, chris, i meant maybe we could switch the hierarchies so we'd get all the 1's in a single column instead of all the whites. the sorting mechanisms and options available at tappedout.com are imo a good model for this. the visual spoiler should also have this functionality.

LoT-- agreed gtc removal was pretty sparse, you're right about the effect madcap had on games and i apologize for my tendentious misreading. i do think it was at a premium mainly because the creatures were beaters that demanded an answer as opposed to durdlers that would accrue value through...

jason, vengeant: not bad on a clogged board, but not all that great. at his best in a control or attrition shell, see how modern UWR and dune-brood ("jund" as others call it) have benefited from his inclusion. i agree white is an intrinsically strong cube color. i know veggies and crawlers...

hi LoT, welcome to the forum! some of your post makes no sense. here is why. -mugging was a hard counter to madcap. the gtc removal was fairly decent. -how can you possibly draft 5c removal in the average cube when the fixing options are so sparse and mediocre? spot removal also isn't great...

haha of course i have. who do you think i am, NOT midrange green dude? flickering 5cmc durdles: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=10504

I thought that card was already Blue It's funny since Tarmogoyf used to be a Blue creature. Now in Modern it's much more Black and a little Red too in addition to Blue. Ditto Legacy.

i once tried to get eric klug to put mike flores' best shiteating grin on top of name dropping, but he was loath to do it for some reason. he also wouldn't alter a set of krenko, mob boss to show ray liotta, tony soprano, al pacino, joseph ratzinger, and i could neither excommunicate him nor...

hey kranny! -- i'm not too familiar with your corpus, so feel free to point me towards an old opus or something if i ask a boring question that everyone else asks: - is a lack of first-picks a negative to you? i compulsively eliminated the cards that were unconditional first-picks (from...

hey sterling, real quick -- i don't find the singleton and modern restrictions useful, but i'm sure i have my own arbitrary ones (why is my cube 405 cards? it fits in a booster box, that's why) and it's not my place to tell you so like who cares. ;) the modern restriction doesn't limit...

i am not comfortable not being sarcastic. no irony here. stats is great fun. i have fond memories of that AP test being the easiest test i've ever taken. without it, i would have found poker concepts much tougher to grok, i think.
