    Same as zeeboot. It also durdles with Trading Post, Academy Ruins, and some other stuff.

    General Breaking Singleton

    That's pretty ironic given what they were designed for. Kitchen Finks is exactly the right kind of first pick to have in cube. It's a strong but fair card that keeps your options wide open.

    General Fight Club

    lol I had the exact same reaction. I really like about half of the pictures Grillo posted there. Old art is far, far better than new in my book. Some if it is bad, but on the whole you could expect a huge variety of styles, which I really miss. The world evoked more of a sense of wonder back...

    General Flat Power level vs. Less Flat Power Level

    I always try to have a uniform distribution of cards on the following spectrum: Easy to implement anywhere & Fairly Strong < ------- > Weak if implemented incorrectly & Very Strong if implemented correctly An example of this would be: Blade Splicer < -------- > 2-squadron of Life From the...

    I'd try Pristine Talisman if you wanted that sort of effect. Half as many upkeeps, but triggers life gain repeatedly.

    I run it, it's great.

    The only chains I visit for food are Chipotle and occasionally Papa Gino's or Uno Pizzeria, unless I'm traveling and very hungry. I have definitely become snobbish over the years in that regard. I'm much less picky about coffee. I get both DD and Starbucks on the reg, mainly because they are...

    GBS

    I had always thought that came about because Disabled Person sounds like someone who Can't Do, whereas Person with Disability is someone who Can Do Except For One Certain Thing. Edit: I guess that is basically the same thing that you're saying. I'd probably avoid any use of the word "color" to...

    Non-Hostile Takeovers

    To be honest I enjoy the unpredictable and stream-of-consciousness nature of the threads here.

    General Magic Tweaks

    Even the most seasoned deck builders must sometimes mulligan their hand to oblivion to avoid getting mana screwed, and that is bad design. It doesn't happen very often, but ideally it should almost NEVER happen. Nothing is less fun in a game than not getting to make decisions. I'd always...

    General Magic Tweaks

    Adding to what Laz wrote: the spell-fizzles-because-it-lost-one-target rule DID used be a rule a long time ago, but no longer. Each and every target needs to disappear in order for the spell to fizzle. I totally support messing around with mulligan rules.

    General CBS

    Speaking of which, which Sieges might be worth including? citadel siege Monastery siege Palace siege Outpost siege Frontier siege Edit: Also, Abzan Beastmaster is a house in regular limited. Good enough for cube perhaps.

    General Cube supplies (sleeves, storage etc.)

    I can attest to the quality of the DesignCraft boxes. Mine was $80 including shipping. I use KMC perfects and just switched from KMC mattes to KMC hyper mattes. Also, don't forget if you're bulk ordering sleeves that it's cheapest at potomacdist.com

    Oh it is, strict upgrade. Didn't mean for that to sound like a negative. DD gets the job done and is a bit cheaper, but I'd almost always rather have a Starbucks coffee.

    It would be perfect at instant.

    I visited Seattle like 8 years ago and had a great time. I remember the EMP Museum being sweet. They had several of Jimi Hendrix's smashed guitars on display. If you enjoy salmon, Seattle had some of the best salmon dishes I've ever had. I also remember it being fucking impossible to get a...

    Though I'd rather be able to delay a creature than not do anything at all. Eh, yeah I suppose it's not good enough.
