    General How does one assess a cube list? (Also, Reid Duke's guide to Cube)

    Oh yeah, and it's also really hard to read given the giant number of lines all really close together. What it is nice for illustrating is a nice baseline for creating a limited format (A lot of people ask how many savannah lions is too many, this at least gives them a ballpark) and that...

    General Magic Tweaks

    Oh sweet Jesus this exploded! Okay, thoughts: Poker makes an interesting analogue in the consistency vs variance spectrum, but has one huge advantage over magic: Poker is not decided on a single hand, but over many. The difference between a shit poker player like me who's never played before...

    Card/Deck White Support Cards

    After playing a bit with valorous stance in standard, I love the thing, and I'm adding 2. Cube ain't all coursers and brimaz, but I'm sure it'll be alright I love having a removal spell that I don't feel bad drawing against control, and that while it doesn't kill everything, there's enough...

    General Cube supplies (sleeves, storage etc.)

    I'm excited about the wooden box guy! Eric: How was shipping? I get this all the time when I look at general MTG knowledge about supplies since most people are in the US. My next project is resleeving my cube and Heather plans on investigating the wooden box idea for my birthday apparently.

    I tried the red siege and it was 100% of the time worse than inspiration. I feel like if you want another one of this effect, run a second chandra pyromaster (Who has been solid for me the whole time) Green seige takes some work. it --> 4 and 5 drop is nice, but not much better than 4 drop > 5...

    Another thing to note about gideon is please find me another creature that hits as hard as he does the turn after a wrath. Control card sure, but I love a control card that allows them to go on the offensive

    Starbucks earns a bad rep because everyone seems to think it's this overpriced milkshake chain that serves 16 year olds that warm cup of milk with half a cup of sugar swirled in that people people reflexively insist on calling coffee. Their actual coffee is not bad at all. That being said...

    I think the distinction is made for the same reason a bunch of people don't like "Disabled Person": People don't like being defined by their disability, so suggust "Person with Disability" instead so they're a person first. Maybe similar concept?

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Generally I prefer to run the generic counters over the target specific ones just so the card is good in more situations, but the reason I bring this up is because delay seems narrower in scope of good-ness than negate does

    Simic Sky Swallower was always strong for me, maybe there's some benifit to being able to target it yourself?

    Card/Deck Green 5-drops

    The vigilence/undying on vorapede shut down many more aggro decks than thragtusk ever did in my cube. There's just not 4 of them + progenitor mimic + restoration angel all in the same list comprising 90% of the metagame. Plus Threatening a thragtusk and saccing it feels fair to both players...
