good enough for me, thread title changed

Yeah, I get that they're all fixers first and foremost, which is why I still like having ten lands in some form or fashion. To me, though, there's a huge difference in upside between a Coastal Tower and a Celestial Colonnade, and Lavaclaw Reaches is much closer to the former than the latter. I...

The power level disparity between the best and worst manlands is what bothers me the most. Celestial Colonnade is worth a speculative pick early on in the draft, even if you aren't solidly UW yet, because it offers that much raw power; meanwhile, Lavaclaw Reaches tables so late that sometimes I...

Now that the two-colour cycle of manlands creature lands is about to be completed, how many are people going to run? A) All ten; B) just the best ones; C) just the good ones but not the best ones; D) none? In looking at a number of people's lists recently, I was surprised to find that a lot of...

Goddamn, you forum people never case to amaze me. I'm blown away both by the ingenuity of your solution as well as the hard work you put in, well and truly. These are glorious times we live in.

Yeah, it's telling that all of the formats in which ramp has been an interactive, healthy, fun, and viable archetype - Rise of the Eldrazi, Modern Masters, Modern Masters 2 - have all been low-powered, by cube standards. Whereas when Valakut ramp was a dominant deck in standard, no one was...

http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/riplab-modo-donation-drive.977/ The idea is that we eventually want to promote the video content of these online drafts to the broader cube community, potentially up to having Jason contribute some of these videos to CFB. For that to happen, the official...

Hmmmm. This is a hard post to respond to, because it's a) strangely reductive and tries to boil down the entire format into a couple of pithy statements of arguable merit, and b) makes broad generalizations about the frequency at which certain events occur in the format, while ignoring the...

There was a weird tension when drafting and building the GR ramp archetype, because the deck wants bouncelands to generate as much mana as it can get, while also requiring basic lands for the domain cards like Tribal Flames and Matca Rioters. Since you have to jam a couple of basics you don't...

I agree, this is absolutely incredible! At the risk of taking away some of the mystique behind this, I still have to ask: how did you do it??

i.e. bookmarks? Not on this version of Xenforo, I'm afraid :(

To be clear, what I'm saying is that there's a Wildfire archetype that's available to drafters in Modern Masters 2, which isn't normally the case with Generic Board Sweepers. There wasn't a Crux of Fate archetype in Fate Reforged, nor was there an End Hostilities archetype in Khans of Tarkir...

Innnnnnteresting! I think I take Fiery Confluence, and hope to wheel Wildfire, because the card isn't very popular in most circles. Crux of Fate Oblivion Stone Dig Through Time Remand Dragon Fodder Anger of the Gods Warden of the First Tree Abrupt Decay Hallowed Fountain Journey to Nowhere...

Ask and you shall receive! {c}{C}:c: {c}{c}{c}

Rusted Relic Skyreach Manta That's just two commons that I remember off the top of my head. I mean, you can just kill everything, sure, at which point it's an overcosted Wrath. Is the point of Wildfire not to leave something behind for yourself, though...? You don't really hear anyone talking...

I really liked GR Wildfire in Modern Masters 2 - it was one of the few things I enjoyed in that format, as it was a perfect balance of a powerful effect that requires a fair bit of setup there. It's funny, Wildfire seems to work in high powered environments, and low-powered retail limited...

Brainstorm, Misty Rainforest, Stormblood Berserker, or Day of Judgment, depending on my mood probably would just take Brainstorm and 'stay open' because aside from the fetchland it's the most non-committal

Yeah, I'm in this boat too. While I think colourless-matters cards are a sweet idea, I can't get behind adding just a dozen cards that make use of the new colourless mana symbol. It'd be a little bit like adding a sixth colour to the cube, but only having 1/4 of the depth of any other colour...

Unburial Rites. Goin' deep! Agree with Dom, this cube looks boss, bookmarking your cubetutor for future reference

Stuck!
