Today we cubed with 4 people. How did we make it hilarious and great? We drafted five packs and sixty-card decks. I highly recommend this variant. The decks were hilarious. The Loam deck is a giant pain the ass to pilot and it seems apparent to me that the success of mid-range decks in Cube is...

I'm not really fond of Ashling, but I agree with the assessment. Akuta, Born of Ash is a sweet option for that slot

"... and i couldn't get it up" -- charles bukowski's narrator at the end of factotum(?) speaking for everyone's experiences at strip clubs (or reading a sweet book that leaves you cold)

haha, sorry if i gave off an overbearing impression -- just wanted to record my thoughts on the cards and the thought process. i apologize! anyway who has an 'unfair' deck in cube! souls is pretty balanced, like it's rarely played in standard, more played in legacy (less so because of...

Gyre Sage is so sweet, definitely try it Edit: just like Vendilion Clique is a bad beater, a bad piece of disruption, a bad flash creature, but a great card, Gyre Sage is a terrible dude and a terrible dork but goddamn is he good.

great literary erections: A Confederacy of Dunces, Portnoy's Complaint in murakami, the guy gets a little hard very early on in Hard-Boiled Wonderland

I think you guys (Eric) are taking it too far -- my best guess is that if you're labeling all of the above list 'aggro hosers,' you're not supporting aggro well enough. This may be a function of a too-high curve, though it's probably due to insufficient density of fixing (which practically...

It's a pretty good article. In the comments, I ridiculed Eric Klug for saying Maze of Ith was healthy for Cube ('stick to painting, bro'), then I wrote the following critique: i broadly agree with this sweet article and you should come talk cube and shit with us at www.riptidelab.com. my...

I'm not sure it's possible to make Bob OP in Cube -- curves are intrinsically higher (much higher!) than in the Bob formats, and you can't just go t1 Thoughtseize into t2 Bob like those decks do. I just think Bob is really fun How has Bob's Zombie bro been doing for you guys

i like loose ends -- makes the reader think more. (i can self-justify the poor organization for days) 4c goodstuff fallacy: i can't find my earlier unpacking of the '4c good stuff fallacy,' but the gist is that too small a number of archetypes is also bad for a draft format, as are picks...

Eh, Geist could use a little extra help, fair Blue is teetering on the edge of unplayable. (For the record, I hate Geist) Lili seems to go from insane to marginally more insane? Conley said Mox Opal is the big benefactor in Modern. This seems likely to me. The changes seem worse for Legacy...

oh geez, that is unique. i guess i'm accustomed to the 'bored japanese salaryman in dystopic future' archetype. which book was this? worth reading?

i wanna cast my spells IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK!!

there is dragon broodmother!!! http://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3A%22dragon+creature+token%22&v=card&s=cname

ahhhh ok, so murakami doing his best 'leader of a cult' impression. quite convincing, since in order to live with themselves they've gotta be extraordinarily delusional. see, what i like about murakami's protagonists is that they're not unique, though

drafted IPA last night; can draft a quick article about this

you know, i think she (along with most others) cleaves to religion because she wants to feel powerless and puny. she can either admit that she's powerful enough to have deluded herself into thinking the church anything other than the orzhov and grown-up enough to make her own meaning, or she can...

Too fast for Shelldock? No way <3

NICE GOYF!! Sadly Cube is canceled at my house today, but that means I should be able to briefly edit and ship some articles to you. PM me your e-mail

Eric -- where would you draw the line? I'd say for colorless lands only Township, Wolf Run, Stronghold, Ruins, Wasteland, (Strip Mine if you hate fun) are worth picks
