    Goggles is cool, but you had better have a really good follow-up with the next red spell you play. My cube is too punishing for T5 durdling. I have goggled in EDH though, which was super fun. Tormenting Voice in Magmatic Insight on successive turns was pretty filthy. Discard a land and another...

    General Great Games of Magic (Videos)

    I watch this match in its entirety like every 4-5 months randomly. It's by far one of the best Modern matches I've ever seen. UWR Control Mirror!

    The Video Game Thread

    I wish I could play SMM but no one I know has a Wii U and I don't wanna buy one for it. Game looks sweet as fuck though, I spent part of yesterday watching videos on Youtube after reading the discussion in here. I mean, I still play SM64 from time to time b/c that game is GOAT. The N64 was so sweet.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    So our 3-0 last night was a Naya Superfriends build which the pilot was pretty stoked about. His first time ever getting to play superfriends. I out-aggroed him G1, but I just couldn't deal with a walker curveout in the following two with Mono-Red. More info and other decks and quick hits in my...

    Alright, so a quick report from last night's cube session. Managed to sorta run an 8 man draft today, we had one guy arrive like an hour late in the final pack so we drafted 7 people and he pretty much played sealed. It worked out somehow. The winning decklist was Naya Superfriends and it met...

    Actually just spent like half an hour tweaking the primary list. Triple fetch is interesting, gotta figure out ways to abuse it and what it actually means for draft decks in terms of fixing. I forgot how few 360 cards was though, it feels weird not having room for sweet stuff. I'll just add to...

    Some more adds that came in today before an eight man draft tomorrow night (hopefully!): OUT: Impulse Surrak, the Hunt Caller IN: Retreat to coralhelm woodland wanderer Impulse was just a filler card I added when I bumped my list up to 420 (ayyyyy) a while back, but it's not one that's...

    Oooh fun. Jason's articles were what originally got me into Cube, it'll be cool seeing if I learned anything over the last year and a half.

    Card/Deck Swords to Plowshares too good for my cube?

    Swords is fine if your threats are high powered enough that it feels fair. I've never felt it to be oppressive in my list and it's not often that there's a single person at the table who's just picked up all the premium removal and will wreck the field.

    My friends and I went for an impromptu midnight run to our LGS because we heard that they would have Fat Packs at MSRP. We get there with 7 people, they have 5 left, but storeowner was chill so he pulled up two more from his back stock he was saving for the next day and we each got one. I pretty...

    Shamim's Cube

    Gaea's Blessing seems like good tech for a squadron sort of pick, but I don't really like squadroning cards in my cube since we have new people every now and then and it's already a lot to process. Like, last night we had around 5 people who just started playing Magic in the last 6 months and...

    Wasn't there to actually view the draft firsthand but I lent the Cube to a couple of buddies to host a draft on campus. Got 8 people, saw some sweet builds, and came in later in the night and jammed a few games with decks left behind by people who had to head out. OUT: Sidisi, Brood Tyrant...

    Dude is a Spike, he definitely doesn't understand the appeal of EDH to the majority of people. There aren't too many people who are down to shuffle up some 100 card deck, sit down for a game, then be done with it in 3 turns. Some people actually just play Magic to have fun and mess around with...

    Bouncing a spell might be worth it, it's an additional tempo play in a UR tempo deck that seems pretty nice. Like, if you've been applying pressure to some durdly deck that was hoping to wrath away on T4, this seems like a nice way to just gettem. I'll be cutting out Izzet Charm to try it out...

    So I've gotten my hands on the following BFZ cards from this weekend: Brutal Expulsion Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper Lumbering Falls Skyline Cascade Mortuary Mire First 3 in the main cube, last two in ULD. I'm hoping that we'll get 8 tomorrow for another draft and I'll try to report back on how...

    Yeah I will legit P1P1 Turn Against in this draft format if the rare sucks. That card is such a blowout. I blew out a guy by making his 4/4 block his 4/3 while I chumped his last attacker. It was so gross.

    I have no idea, I'll probably try it out. The only problem I could see is that I don't really know where it slots into in our cubes. You don't want it in Mono-Red b/c you pretty much just want bodies early to overwhelm them, and a 2/1 is just easy pickings later. If Landfall is a thing in your...
