Let's always remember: Our cubes are awesome just as they are. We don't NEED to add new cards. Even when it feels like it sometimes.

If I would get shocked to death I still couldn't stop making fun of him. That would be my death sentence.

This spoiler season was kinda painful. They used some cool mechanics, especially new-madness and hybrids, for this set, but boy I feel bad looking at these cards. I am really, really, REALLY not into super heros. I never understood why they were wearing cheesy, skin-tight costumes instead of...

Is Jace really that powerful? I've played against him in a cube with a power level compareable to mine (maybe 5% higher, but not much more) and it felt not too crazy. Isn't he just a slow draw spell if you don't get to the ultimate? Like, I feel like he's not above stuff like Fact or Fiction really.

I guess it's okay as an etb. I have Geist-Honored Monk in my core, which is probably somewhat compareable in that regard making two fliers. It's just that three blockers make it so much more likely that Elspeth won't get attacked down. Sure, Vraska and Chandra cann kill one thing, but they are...

Maybe Elspeth Tirel is a bit too much immediate value, always leaving behind three bodies. I am also considering in white: Ajani, Wise Counselor Ajani, Inspiring Leader

Oh, right, I excluded them on purpose. Some are pretty cool, but I am only putting these into my occasionals (so every second draft one person will have a plameswalker, if they would always end up in main decks that is), so I wanted them to be a little more exciting. I want, for this rare...

So, I was considering some lower powered planeswalkers for my occasionals module. I don't want them to be too oppressive and snowbally, they needed to be good but not too good in an environment where Honored Hydra or Seeker of the Way are fine cards to take early. I also wanted them to be not to...

Really cool concept. While I love my well balanced high synergy cube, sometimes I just want to draft some macro archetypes with some sweet power outliers from the ninties.

Name and type bars have to be grey for hybrids :)

You said to me that you wouldn't read Queen Kayla bin-Kroog, but now you're eyeing planeswalkers with ten lines of text in small font, three different abilities.

I hate it that blue now gets a 2/2 flier with massive upside for it's {1}{U}. Call me a magic boomer, but I think magic was more fun when not all colors would get super efficient creatures at all points of the curve.

No offense, but I think Fumigate is one of the worst designs for wraths. Boardwipes give the control player a way to stabilize by destroying all threats. But they usually leave some hope for the aggro player, who will immediately check opponent's life total and think: okay, I dealt them a bunch...

I wish we would just have a five mana version of Day of Judgement innboth, white and black. But they probably won't do it, because it's so clearly worse than dozens of cards. Maybe, if I'm really lucky, they would make a {3}{W/B}{W/B} version at some point.

The mayhem land is really cool and shows what mayhem can but madness couldn't do. However, it would've to be {G}{U}{R} to make sense in my cube.

This is why I love riptide lab. You ask for opinions on a card and you get a thorough analysis of it in the context of your cube, highlighting cool interactions and such. Wow, thanks! I'd say you get to 6-7 lands in about half of the games - it really depends on the deck though. The reason I...

Languish Two questions: 1. How much worse is this compared to Damnation or Day of Judgment? 2. How much better is it than Earthquake or Black Sun's Zenith? I am considering Languish as my one black boardwipe (in the core cube) but I'm scared it might be too efficient. Straight up four mana...

A goblin with (neo-)madness is a pretty great fit for my cube. This has decent name and art as well, but they had to ruin it with a super uninspiring Spider-Man quote.

It might surprise people that I say this, but I'd go with the more powerful card first. It is more likely to see play and if it turns out to be too much then, you can still replace it with the weaker card. If you add a card that's too strong, you will notice much faster than with a card that's...

Aaand another draft report. I'll keep this one very short. For time reasons. 1. {W}{B} Sacrifice/Blink Midrange 2-0-1 (5-2) Ones 1 soulwarden 1 Faerie Guidemother 1 Ruthless Ripper 1 Giant Killer Twos 1 Cathar Commando 1 Daxos, Blessed by the Sun 1 Reassembling Skeleton 1 Zulaport Cutthroat...
