    In a way, Yu-Gi-Oh has also been doing the same thing for years. Not sure if I want Magic going that route but I fell out of Modern a long time ago so I don't particularly care.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Yeah, Legends of Runeterra uses a very similar mechanic and it created a lot of fun tension. I think the main draw for it in LoR was that there was not a lot of premium removal. But once there is better and better removal then provoke just doesn't really work. (A problem I had in LoR after more...

    General [Voting] 30+ Eggs in one Basket Contest

    Yeah I had the same issue, with the doubling up into twins. I had a 90 black lotus cube and that was worse than this, but this is not much better. I think that having a flat 30 black lotuses as a dark ritual replacement would have been a better alternative than this. But I really wanted to go...

    General [Contest] 30+ Eggs in one Basket

    So immediately after I read the rules for the contest, I thought of one card. Or more accurately, I thought of the flavor text of one card. Old Fogey So, I decided to take the old man at his word and see what came about. At least with the Black Lotuses, I ain't putting in Plague Rats. It's the...

    General [Contest] 30+ Eggs in one Basket

    The egg would be doubled too, and there is no way there could be a deck in the cube without the egg, it's basically required. That's why I'm diluting it to make the drafting a bit more fun, get some more cards and archetypes and so on. This has been a fun project so I don't mind being...

    General [Contest] 30+ Eggs in one Basket

    last minute question, is it alright if we add our own rules and restrictions within the Cube as long as there is a minimum of 30+ eggs? Not sure if it should okay since what I want to do is make every card come with a free copy of itself when you draft it. And that's kind of not a 180 cube (it...

    General [Contest] 30+ Eggs in one Basket

    Yup, I have had to rebuild mine three times because it just wasn't there until I upped my egg from 30 to 90 and when I decided that it's okay that Pia's Revolution is "too strong" I think I will make it though!

    I just changed my marofl to a like, I hope that others will do the same.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    It scales mostly on if you are graveyard focused. I've tested it a few different times and it is basically a weird threaten, depending on the environment it can be worse or better (obviously). But it's also odd that it cannot target your own graveyard. I would play it in a multiplayer cube, but...

    Yeah, bloodmage has the slightly better modes while ratatouille has the better toughness (he must be a huge rat)

    General Aesthetics Debate Club: Optimizing Art in Cube (Daily!)

    For this one I have been pondering it, but while I usually like new art, the m10 one just works so perfectly in conveying the mechanics with the art. Just something about the hand reaching out towards its choice that is just *chef's kiss*. The Julie Dillon art looks too much like the butterfly...

    If we treat cards like Vraska, Golgari Queen and Ob Nixilis, Reignited like bad removal, imo I feel that it should be okay. But you're absolutely right that there is definitely not a variety lol. Link for those curious. (There are some slight outliers cuz some call bounce removal and whatnot.)...

    Sets (LTR) The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth

    I starting reading Pratchett a few years ago, and I'm almost 27 and read a lot. They're probably one of my favorite book series. I would not classify them as high school level, even though you can read them at that level. There's a lot of dry humor and self-awareness that I feel I may have...

    Yeah, all of the other ones that Maro quoted I am fully on board for, but a somewhat essential game piece that you and your friends can open in a pack? Sounds odd, especially considering the fact that un-enfranchised players probably are at least friends with an enfranchised player. Now...

    Yeah and Mark Rosewater used the statistic too on his blog, as seen here. I am pretty sure that this statistic probably means more of the lore side of magic, don't think that he's saying that 75% of players do not understand how to play with and against walkers. (I am being a bit generous even...

    Prismatic at least finally gives us a use for moonlace, quickchange, jaded response and mind bend.

    Yeah you really need a high density of pikers and death's shadow variants to make Varolz worth it. Even then, he's usually just an expensive hunger of the howlpack. In practice I got more jank and fun out of Havengul Lich, and that has to be telling something. (I also wish he worked with...
