    General Forum Gems: the best buried bits and blurbs

    For people who don't check out the general discussion forum too often, I have just posted the most liked comments on Riptide Lab in 2015. You know you want to check it out, since everyone loves a good shit-post (there are a lot of them on the list). Here it is. Enjoy.

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    I wondered what the posts were throughout the year that the community liked the most. So I decided to make a web scraper to find out this data. I wanted to write up a top 10 or 20, but there ended up being 21 posts with 11 likes or more, so a top 21 it is then. Also be aware that I...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    So, I am terribly late to the discussion, but thought I would throw my thoughts into this matter (since my name was being thrown around). The Skeletal Vampire did indeed save his bacon. He was getting beaten down by 2 3/3 flying golems. That was only source of air defense at that point. Grave...

    Article CubeTutor Champion Contest Champion

    Thanks for picking my entry! I feel it is like most of my assignments I submitted in university; Quality documentation can save a mediocre result. While I am not saying my entry was mediocre, there were a fair amount of missteps now that I look over it again. Probably because I was on a high...

    General Sunday January 10th Draft Sign-ups (2PM EST)

    Same :( I should be able to watch the draft process before I go to work though.

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    So, after all those Penny Pincher Grid Drafts I wanted to help contribute to your cube in some way from my own experiences. I know you got a decent amount of data from you watching all the games but I wanted to throw some more your way. I was wondering what I could talk about, as I wanted to...

    Kirblinx vs Modin: Non-Black Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    I'm not entirely sure what you did wrong there. Here is your deck after extracting the URL: Yeah, I had a Krosan Restorer out at the end of that game. You can see it on the video. I forgot to mention it in the writeup (it was rather long and didn't know what part to leave out to make it...

    Kirblinx vs Modin: Non-Black Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    Just for you Grillo: Be wary, there are several things I am not a fan of in this video. It goes a bit too fast, there are some lag spikes, half the chat is chopped off and is silent. Other than that, it is a good enough representation of what happened that game. If you want me post any others...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've given it a try in my cube (which is extremely rough and only been drafted once, you have been warned) and it fit into a UB control deck. It worked well as a finisher of sorts, as once the board is clear every threat from there on should cost them more mana to cards than it will for you to...

    Kirblinx vs Modin: Non-Black Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    So, we started with a fairly uninspiring first pack into a draft that many which-ways. Pack 8 I had real trouble deciding which way to go (it was my first pick). I somehow ended up in a value splicer build after picking up the Ghostly Flicker early and hoping to get the combo. The mnemonic wall...

    Kirblinx vs B8R: Non-White Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    Thanks for the compliment! I mentioned in another thread that I currently don't feel like I can stream optimally, so I won't bother until I can. This should hopefully be sooner rather than later. Grillo popped in and said he had never seen a splicer deck like mine before. Well, we were...

    Grillo Vs Kirblinx: Non-Red Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    I'll stream or record one day. I just don't have the setup to do it at the moment (I have to sit on the floor to use my computer). I like the old walkthrough style that we have been giving. Gives tailor-made information with some sweet jokes thrown in. Recordings take too long to digest some...

    Kirblinx vs B8R: Non-White Penny Pincher Grid Draft

    Let me introduce you to my little friend Token AgGRO It seemed strange that I ended up mainly in red when B8R first picked and got the only two cards out of that pack. Fof the fist packs I was thinking of a big mana deck. I even went so far to pick Artisan of Kozilek. I think I realised that...

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Green Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    So, uh I just got demolished by Grillo and his beast of an aggro deck. Went 0-2 twice with UB Control splash sweepers and Jor Kadeen. They were all interesting games though. The classic control vs aggro matchup, where I brunt the early beatings and try and take over from there. I got close in...

    End of Year Awards

    Yesterday I was thinking of doing a post that showed the top 10 most liked posts for the year. Then after realising there is no search functionality to help me find those posts I sort of gave up. I mean I could try and build a webscraper to do it, but that is a rather long and annoying...

    Safra Vs Ferret: Non-White Safra's Cube Grid Draft

    Now that is a manabase! So I didn't get to watch the games of this one. I did however get to see you do the grid draft on your stream, which was awesome. Your commentary was awesome. It was relaxed, informative and funny, which is what you want out of a streamer. Are you sure you haven't...

    Safra vs Dom: Non-Black Safra's Cube Grid Draft

    I watched bits and pieces of the three games against Dom. I believe you went 0-3. You couldn't get a blue source in either the first or second games, which left too many cards stranded in your hand. I remember the important turn in game two where you attacked with an Eternal Witness and a...
