    General MTGO 'Vintage Cube'

    My only problem with this is the fact that it is the vintage cube and you just be blown out by the most stupid thing in the first round and lose. This is why I like the swiss as you can lose the first round, then if you win the next two you break even and can draft again. Plus you get a solid...

    Article ChannelFireball: Grid Drafting and Tenchester

    Ugh, my decklist does look horribly out of place (although it does look better than the MODO lists). Was a good read, although I skipped most of the draft walk-through. Made it to about pick 6 then decided to scroll to the bottom. I mean it was fairly obvious where it was heading. Although...

    General Blue-White Instants

    I like how there was a taste of that second one coming from the first picture. Good Humor. (I wonder if anyone will see what I did there?)

    General Charm School

    It seems like a novel idea, and I think it should be given a chance at least. It is a nicer way of implementing a UED, or even Jason's Magical Christmas land idea. Spending a pick to get a pick from a larger pool later seems interesting rather than just adding more cards later. My take on...

    General The Constructed thread

    Found Grillo online again. With his new-found brew in hand (slightly modified) and a terrible brew I thought up 2 hours ago we went at it. His deck is super fun to watch, except for that fact that he suffered from Aoret's MODO clock problem... He just Tolarian Winds to try and find his...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    That is actually a well thought out environment. List even looks pretty sweet. Shame it just got ignored. I suppose it is MTGS, I don't know what else you would expect.

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

    Yeah, generally there are some stronger voices than others in certain discussions (Mana Fixing Gone Too Far, Perfect Imbalance) and they generally are in point/counterpoint sequence anyway. Is it worth seeing if other forum members are willing to contribute/write articles? As I feel that Eric...

    Wait? Your cube doesn't support 5-colour durdle?

    General Balduvian Trading Post(s)

    So I was trying to lurk around BTP for a bit of a laugh while I ate dinner, but whenever I tried to go to their site, I just kept getting redirected here. I don't understand what is going on. Have they been hacked or something? Was someone here responsible? I guess I will just have to try...

    The Music Thread

    There was something very familiar about this clip when I was watching it. I don't know what it was. The Scooby-doo-esque plot, the Crypt of the Necromancer style villian (along with beat head-bobbing). It was rattling my brain while getting engrossed by the videos story. Then after it had...

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    Apparently translates to: Mina and Denn, Wildborn 2RG Legendary Creature - Elf Ally You may play an additional land during each of your turns. RG, Return a land you control to its owner's hand; Target creature gains trample until end of turn. 4/4 Well, a different Oracle of Mul Daya is nice. I...

    General Non-blue card advantage

    I was going to mention that. As the majority of red and whites non card advantage cards were the efficient 1-2 drops for the aggro strategies to use. I just didn't think of calling it virtual card advantage, which is a pretty sweet term. Card advantage is the pillar of what makes control and...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    Games play out like a standard game of magic. Person plays a threat, then next person plays a threat then someone attacks someone, they get angry and remove said threat. The cycle continues until removal is gone and the threat wins the game. Usually it is won by creatures. Sometimes...

    General Non-blue card advantage

    It is hard to tell what you are defining as 'card advantage'. Blue is easy in which, if something draws you more than one card it is producing card advantage. Anything that produces a 2-for-1 is considered card advantage, such as bone shredder. So I decided to look at your polycube and count...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    I thought the first post on my cubes would be about the stack :P So I'll do a better description of what it entails now. The basic rules are: You have infinite mana of every colour You can only cast one spell per turn Starting and maximum hand size of 5 It used to be called Type 4 or...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    So results from the first ever draft of the 'riptide' cube. Had a full 8 people, which was nice. Had one ring-in (poor guy) but other than that the rest were regulars with varying skill levels. Time to break down the decks: The first of the base green 5-colour decks. This drafter is the other...

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    So I just made a new 'riptide' cube and had a draft with it and wanted to record the results. Why not post them here? I currently have 2 cubes and a 'stack' that I manage: [360] A 'power-max' peasant cube that I originally made as a pauper cube ages ago [360] The Wobbly Cube, a cube made from...

    Sunday 8am for me (hopefully converted right for AEST), which means I will be there and rectangular.

    General Magical Christmas Land (Draft Format)

    So I found something over at the Balduvian Trading Post, that I posted in the forum here, that could be applicable to this situation. I mean, you already have a spreadsheet for certain pick slots, why not have a random distribution of 'presents' for specific slots, ie. cards that correlate to...
