I think the joke is that the art of Chromatic Star shows, from top to bottom in the right, blue, green, white, yellow, red, and "black" light. As five of those colors are the colors in Magic, it implies that the star is changing light of any color into one of these colors. Yellow's inclusion...

Foulmire Knight is kind of crappy, yeah, but its crappy in a way that a lot of decks are happy with it (lower-level depending, of course). It's a one-drop for aggro, if you like that sort of thing, and the deathtouch makes it an effective roadblock in slower decks. You can run it out on turns...

BRB, revising my mental image of Robber Baron Jason Waddell with his twisted scheme to profit off of all fifty people in the cube community :) For real though, things cost money and I happen to like this thing. It sort of feels like not tipping at a restaurant or jamming out a street musician...

This probably isn't quite the right thread for it, but oh well: I use an ad blocker and want to chip in a couple dollars to server costs in lieu of disabling it. Is there a good way to do that?

What are some common pieces of advice/common heuristics about Cube that Dom thinks are misunderstood? In the same vein as Aston's question, what are some themes Dom thinks are underutilized? What themes are overused? What is it that makes a Cube great for him? (Originality, depth of gameplay...

Hey, Nemo, that's a gorgeous mockup, so much better than my copy-and-paste monstrosity! What program did you use to make that? I especially like how the frame is uniform all the way around. If it's a custom frame for MSE, would you mind sharing it with me, please? I'm thinking about proxying...

That's a good point. Let me rephrase that to "Bone Miser has a much higher ceiling than the Lamia, with a somewhat lower floor." Lifelink is good, but a 4/4 for 5 without an ability that helps it win in combat is behind the curve for most cubes I've seen, at least in terms of attacking. The...

That's a great article! Frankly, I wish there was a frame with the clarity and brightness of the M15 frame, as well as the artist info, and yet the heft of the lines of the 8th edition frame. There's definitely something I don't like about the rounded lower corners, and I'd rather just have them...

I know I'm about to complain about readability of frames in the TSR thread, but while those mockups are lovely, there's something about how the mana symbols and text boxes are integrated into the art in the Japanese versions that makes me go nuts for them. Is it possible to make an Opt and a StP...

Agreed that the Lamia is likely better at actually doing things, despite it being a weaker card overall. The last line of text can also do work in UB or RB, maybe even GB.

Anax is a house in mono-red, but perfectly manageable in anything else. I think the experience level of drafters will, in part, determine how strong he is. For example, my playgroup almost refuses to run mono-color decks, likely due to the fact that they tend to draft retail sets almost...

Elder Gargaroth Shifting Ceratops Cavalier of Thorns Wildborn Preserver Noose Constrictor I enjoy these, and all except the snake would be a power outlier for my cube.

I think all of the commands look really good, with Silverquil perhaps being the weakest? For me, they fall into the area of good stuff gold cards, which I'm trying hard to resist. The Mystical Archive cards are, if anything, harder to resist. rip my wallet.

I think that the main reason it's one of the strongest things in standard is, in fact, the instant speed and the fact that it's not a creature and therefore can't be countered. Think of it like a weird take on a Hydroid Krasis with flash, limited to only drawing one card, being in one color, not...

Apart from a couple knuckleheaded moments of taking clearly inferior cards, I'm actually very happy with where I'm at. Except for having literally no removal :/

It absolutely should not.
