There was a Rotisserie draft that went on before I got here and it looked like it took forever. I wouldn't mind trying one at one point, but more for interests sake rather than doing it to play some competitive games. Sealed, while easy to do as a forum game and quick to setup and start...

As headmaster of the cube, I must agree this is the case. I was in a bit of a rush this morning and only just slammed all the recent additions into the cubetutor list and didn't give it much thought. I will allow this. Less swingy than Ulamog, can be chumped for days and even works with the...

Temple of Enlightenment Temple of Epiphany Temple of Triumph Temple of Silence Temple of Mystery Temple of Abandon Temple of Malady Temple of Plenty Temple of Malice Temple of Deceit Since there were no objections I added the Temples. This makes the numbers in the cube skew a little since the 10...

A fair justification. It resolves.

I get that it is supposed to be a joke, but Wayfaring Temple seems terrible for this cube. The rest I can see fitting in.

Doesn't Safra do this job already (sort of)?

heartbeat of spring Weathered Wayfarer Unstable obelisk Tormenting Voice So now that we have hit the 120 mark I think it is time to add some more fixing. I was thinking either the temples or storage lands. The only problem with storage lands is that there is only 5 and I would prefer a full...

So the main problem with Grid draft is that the player going first has the chance to take the top 33% of that pack in one pick. Why not lower that percentage? Why not have the person going first take a singular card. This could be the bomb card of the pack or the synergy card they need. Then...

Living Lore Grim Guardian Extinguish All Hope Horizon Chimera Living Lore for the spell theme and a hope of living Biorhythm. Trying to bleed the enchantment theme to black, as I don't know what black is doing at this point. Got to try for some terrible two card combos right? I heard the...

This was my most memorable control deck I drafted from my cube: Sure it has decent PW density, but the fact it had a small combo (Tinker to Mindslaver) made it pretty memorable. Although the biggest factor is this card: Mesmeric Orb This card is a great control finisher. All you need to do is...

mmm I did say no Planeswalkers. This one might be low power and or interesting enough to leave in. I'm trying to think of anything that has a similar ability, but there isn't anything that lets you fork for 0 mana.

If anything I think making videos is easier. You don't need to write down anything unlike those pick breakdowns. All you are doing is saying what is in your head. All the videos I made for the Penny Grid League were way easier than doing the writeups as it just happens during the process...

Enchantments and lifegain you say? Palace Siege Demonic Pact Blind Obedience Starfield of Nyx Blind Obedience may be a big strong but we'll see. Can always change it out in the end. Goal is to turn on your Demonic Pact and kill it with creature removal. Seems tech.

I agree with everything you say above about the Grid Draft format Grillo. Let's have a look at what decks everyone drafted: UB Ninjas (Aston) defeated BUG Value Grind (Grillo) UGb Flash (Melty) defeated UR Artifact Control (Kirblinx) RWG Beats (Melty) defeated WB Kitty (Grillo) BGrw Value...

Yeah, more of a dragon cube. I like to call them Battlecruiser games, as they are big and slow. Same thing really. Pretty happy with the adds so far. I noticed that Ichor Slick actually breaks the rule for removal (costs 3) but seems situation enough and is sorcery that I am happy for it to...

Decided to make a Riptide Community Cube to make our own version of the Legendary Cube since I had such a blast playing it. If you have any ideas about big splashy plays or what was wrong with the MTGO Legendary Cube, then feel free to throw some cards into the cube. Let's see what kind of...

I thought it was about time we did another community cube here at Riptide. This was all inspired by the MTGO Legendary Cube (ver 2.0) as it allows for large splashy plays, silly buildaround cards and light removal. Since wizards retired it early, it could be safe to say that we could never see...

Alright, now that Grillo and Melty will be playing their game within the next 12 hours or so, I guess it is time to reveal how Aston and I went. If you watched his stream or dug through my youtube channel you might have been able to guess. So first off, the videos: Now onto the match writeups...

I didn't think nested spoilers worked on this forum (I tried to do them on the guess the magic art forum game and never got them to work). I've been thinking about this on and off over the past week now that the Inaugural Penny Grid League has pretty much come to a close. The fun parts about...

Sorry for the late reply. Geistblast was pretty average. I had high dreams of copying a Rise From the Tides but 9 mana is a bit too much. It did let me double up on Tormenting Voice in a couple of games, which was pretty sweet. Made for a better Thoughtflare (Discard 1, Draw 4 for 5 mana)...
