    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Good to know. I'd like to add it since it seems ideal for supporting constellation and prowess. I'm planning to add Moldervine Cloak and Darkblast for similar reasons. What are your favorite cards for that theme in green, white, and black?

    How do your drafters feel about Flickering Ward? It has never been oppressive?

    My MtG friends and I rent out a large house twice a year for a weekend, where we play Magic, other board games, drink heavily, and cook huge meals. There's usually about 12-15 of us. We've been doing it for several years now, and have dubbed it "Weekend of Destruction" (aka WOD). We're having...

    I'm nearly at the end of the first season of Jessica Jones. That show is seriously awesome.

    General Artifact and Enchantment Themed Cube

    I think you'll have the easiest time making it work if you stagger the support as follows. Artifact Theme Heavy: {U} & {R} Medium: {B} Light: {W} & {G} Enchantment Theme Heavy: {W} & {G} Medium: {B} Light: {U} & {R} I agree with Grillo that I wouldn't rely on black for the core...

    I haven't played it, but I've heard good things. I've also heard it's a fairly long game, which might be a bit much for gateway players.

    The Board Game Thread

    Trying to nail down what would be best for a gateway worker placement game. People often recommend Stone Age or Lords of Waterdeep, though I'm not sold on the flavor of LoW so I've been leaning toward Stone Age. It has been out of print but it seems that it's just reentered circulation in...

    General Fight Club

    How do you feel about Ravenous Baboons? Doesn't have the cheap mode that Ruinblaster has (would that get used very often?) but it is friendly to blink and Reveillark. Is Avalanche Riders with echo better than Avalanche Riders without echo? Harder to shenanigan but having the body stick is nice.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I mean, as is, people's red 4's are largely 4/2's or 3/3's with haste that buff your team. Having some LD there would actually be a nice variation for me.

    General Cubing topics you'd like to see covered in article form

    I have used a method very similar to that one in the past, but then abandoned it due to the amount of time it took to organize everything by color before every draft. Even with everyone helping, it took a bit longer than just plain shuffling. I think I'm going to give it another shot for this...

    Maybe a flow chart style would be easier to read? Edit: you could put an example of a card that fits that particular intersection along each connection. Venn diagrams are probably still a good idea, but it can get a bit confusing if you use them for both "cards of this type" and...

    General Narrow Card Injection

    Yeah, for whatever reason, Cruel Ultimatum just doesn't excite me. Nicol Bolas is more likely to land and I think has more play to it. Marath is simply the most interesting card I've seen in Naya. Pitches to force and otherwise appears to be very versatile. Destructive Flow could create...
