    It's supposed to be a 450 cube, but I've been busy with other things since I was about halfway through updating my cube :) Also, you don't get a triland for the tribrids, so it's only 10 additional fixing sources (indeed hidden in the format). This makes for just above 12% fixing. The...

    http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-tri-color-cards/ This is basically the idea behind my cube. I only support five color pairs, and thus my duals are on average playable in more than one player's deck (considering that most players don't stick to one color, especially not in a...

    Except, are we necessarily talking about *worse* mana? Or are we talking about _different_ mana? I have the feeling it's not about the inherent power of the mana fixing, no one's going to argue that fetches and shocks are some of the best fixing lands available in a vacuum, rather it's about how...

    Yes. I've actually had this complaint.

    Anybody tried out Paperback? I just installed in on iPad this morning, and it's quite fun, but turns out it's originally a board game.

    Hahaha, I just had... Fretwork Colony Durable Handicraft ...out. A giant stream of 2/2 servos every upkeep! Edit: Oh wait, I had another card out! Animation Module That's of course the card that allowed me to spend all my mana every upkeep :)

    It's probably the best mechanic in the set. I was wondering whether you'ld ever want to spend the energy from self-contained cards on something other than that card, and the answer is a (surprising?) yes. There's a lot of different effects going on, and some nice pay-off cards that require a...

    I think if it's just fetching a fixing land, you're better of playing Wayfarer's Bauble.

    I think a 2:1 fetchables:fetches ratio isn't the worst idea in the world.

    Sure. I think I'ld rather play... Snakeform ...though. Requires some set-up, but the card draw is nice, and it works on attacking as well as defending. Another option is... Krasis Incubation

    Do any of you remember the time when you would download mp3's and compile your own CD's in order to listen to your favorite music? I've uploaded some of my old compilation CD's to Spotify, and it's still fun to listen to music this way. Who knew! :)...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Rise from the Tides is an awesome card if you support the spells deck. You need some ways in your cube for the spells deck to catch back up. Mass removal helps, as well as some way to recoup life lost in the early turns. Any methods to rebuy Rise (or other wincons) are also greatly appreciated...

    That is exactly how it works with the current wording. Maybe I should add reminder text, you're not the first one here who is confused. Compare, for example, to Mimic Vat, where it's abundantly clear that you can't make a copy of cards that are no longer exiled, i.e. no longer imprinted. Anyway...

    Like I said, they're not nearly as bad as I feared. Instant speed interaction is actually awesome, because your opponent is exhausting at least two permanents when they want to attack or block with a vehicle. Can lead to some nice blowouts.

    I'ld say you are forgetting that Oviya turns out one X/X instead of x 1/1's in most cubes. That's a big, big difference!

    So, Oviya is kinda boring then?

    I wasn't able to participate in a prerelease ( :( ), but I did manage to get a bunch of games in with a sim. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by Glassblower's Puzzleknot. Almost all of the thing you can spend two energy on (or two times one energy) are decent at {2} and scry 2 tacked on, so...

    Well, some of it is (almost completely) Keats, so there's that ;) Laz's adaptation of one of the songs in the Patience opera is impressive, to say the least. There's barely the skeleton of the original poem left! To the best of my knowledge, Jason's ULD Temple of Choice and Aoret's free...
