    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    yep, it was boros aggro in ZEN-SOM standard that i ran the gear. hawks n mystics before hawks n mystics were cool! dom: i've found nobody wanted to play sigil or the masks, though i had em in for weeks and weeks. collar has always been pretty popular, ditto pike and bonehoard (especially with...

    Article Session Report: Bugging Out

    Jason, also, would you be interested in "re-runs" of stuff I've written elsewhere? (I'm thinking I could crib mainly forum posts I've made, like Cube as the successor to pre-NWO draft formats, insider hearsay on why the modo cube sucks, etc. but i could also edit a few grafs i've written re...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Yep, I agree that people said the format would 'slow way down,' but most of the best DGR decks seem to be the ones that make a 2-drop and start going to town while the other person sits there rather helplessly color-screwed. Dragon's Maze added a bunch of new cards, but though the density of...

    Choose one or both -- A of Z (splashy but costs 7 and is hard to deal with in the absence of a sweeper); Landfall Baloths (fair and more hard-castable but less splashy)

    haha, whenever i watch political stuff over here i always wanna yank the damn mic from under obama's throat and start ad-libbin CML-style. the one politician that isn't like that is bill clinton, then i realized that people i considered friends were those few with whom i didn't have that...

    today my cousin (my age) unfriended me on facebook because she made a post in favor of 'abstinence-only sex education' (lol) so i said 'don't knock it [up] 'til you've tried it!' what was i supposed to do, not ridicule her?! if i was shitty family i mighta taken it seriously. anyway i dunno what...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    it may be time for some more wastelands then! that sounds like a sweet dynamic. i don't play legacy without 4 wastelands and i once wrote an article (that might have been wrong) advocating a reprint for modern. wasteland is one of the most important cards in legacy -- i love the dynamic tension...

    IM CAPABLE OF IT ILL HAVE YOU KNOW I WENT TO COLLEGE FOR THREE YEARZ king azaz the unabridged! have you guys enjoyed him? is he cooler than baloths? (my best guess was i only wanted one creature like that, and baloths seemed sweeter because its 6-cmc and they dont just lose when it hits when...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    i was wondering if something like ruins or stronghold would be ok if there was a higher density of wasteland effects. i guess we could have 4 wastelands in the main cube and 2 tec edges in the utility land draft (or some arrangement like that) -- but then wasteland punishes people for drafting...

    more love than i have for the dude ;) and of course he's just a tribal card in legacy but god is he good. (it's funny that out of the three tribal decks in legacy, the red one is control, the blue one is aggro, the green one is combo)

    Take me to the Reaver // drop me in the water (this was a better song when people played Brood War) +1 on Pyromancer being awesome. True to character I'm gonna say my favorite spoiler so far is the 3/3 for GG. I also like the G uncounterable card and the mythic and rare G enchantments. Green...
