April 1st, 2018, a date which will live in infamy as it was the first time one Mr. Trainmaster GT was cited in a work of Cube media. Fantastic Article!

Thanks for the reply! I only have the hybrids rolled in with the golds due to space budgeting reasons. There really aren't enough good hybrids to justify a dedicated hybrid section in this Cube, and most of the hybrids I'm running usually only go in decks that use both colors anyway. Obviously...

I have the hybrids in the gold sections because there isn't a full set of color-balanced hybrids I want to run. I'm not particularly worried about the technicalities of the spreadsheet here other beyond the increased number of enemy golds than allied. Just based on what these four hybrid cards...

What's one card from each of these two-color combinations that is less good/less fun/less interesting/less powerful than the other cards in it's gold section? https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/list/16y6?f=ci%3D2+-t%3Aland&view=spoiler

That moment when Haiku Writing becomes a Transferrable Skill :D:D:D:D I also like: 5 Syllables You may draw (x) cards. 7 Syllables Create (X) Treasure Tokens. Create (X) Tapped Food Tokens. Target creature connives Twice.

I think it's Spontaneous ham...

What's the latest with this Cube?

Yeah I largely agree. I think Norn's Wellspring looks like it could be pretty good but I'm not 100% sold. Not a fan of Mandible Justiciar? mandible justiciar I think this looks like a super sweet low-power artifacts payoff. It can get huge, gain life, and clearly signal the artifact theme.

What a fantastic website. :marofl::marofl::marofl: Thank you for sharing!!

Makes sense, I'm also not playing many of the oil cards for the same reason. The only major exception I'm looking at right now is Mercurial Spelldancer, and that's only because it's a perfect Blue 2-drop. Are you eschewing the noncreature oil cards as well?

Siege Rhino To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Siege Rhino. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics, most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rhino's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his...

Emrakul being trapped in the moon is why the day/night cycle on Innistrad got screwed up, leading to the eternal midnight that had to be undone in the Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow story arc. While we didn't see any actual Eldrazi, emrakul-influenced Horrors and her presence in the moon were...

Out of curiosity, why are you against using Oil counters? Are there just too many words since the card has to define what it's doing with the counters?

Hey sorry for not replying to this sooner, I got busy with school and forgot about it again until reading back through the forums :p. Ok good, we're on the same page. I definitely think the tempo bottleneck in some formats does change the calculus on cards like Path and Thalia (one mana makes...

LIGHTNING HELIX IT'S LIGHTNING HELIX (OH MY GAAAWWWWDDD!!!) (Not the same tournament or even format as the famous Lightning Helix moment I'm referencing, but still, same card).

Colossal Badger Yes

I am Colossal, but no meme. Unlike my counterpart, the public does not badger me. What am I?

I think you make some salient points about Nissa, Ascended Animist's floor that I had failed to consider in my initial evaluation. I still think Nissa, Who Shakes the World is a better card in general (Usman Jamil calls her "The Queen of Green Planeswalkers," and I still feel inclined to agree)...

Well said! My fixing is still worse than yours because I am still using a singleton mana base (for the time being), but I think we're still broadly trying to support similar color breakdowns.

I think it's too context dependent to say definitvely. The increase in win rate from casting the bomb would need to offset the loss in consistency from having to support a deck with more colors than intended for the format. The win rate advantage to playing fewer colors than a format's mana base...
