    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    Cube is about curving out and techy plays, right? Even cubes that don't come out of the gates running still reward deliberate mana development and efficient use thereof. Thoughtseize standard (the worst one anyway) was ruined by the lack of t2 plays better than thoughtseize your answer>pack rat...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    you're probably right, I'll make some changes when I boost aggro. javelineers are a relic of a while ago i've kept to kill 2/1s doomwake is the liminal enchantress theme and was supposed to hate on tokens. my other black 5s kinda obsolete it now tho and I can find something cooler. kiku, see...

    General I just play it for the flavour text, I swear!

    We've got a terrible flavour text thread but I don't think there's one for cards with genuinely good writing in italics. The obvious contender is the Love Song of Night and Day, which contrasted with current f.t. looks like, well, night and day. And once upon a time Magic used more literary...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Do you have other versions? Like I said, I'm willing to be talked into broken, especially if I already have this one ready against complaints

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I'm on to second-level tinkering with my Cube with Aoret's fetch&waste experiment. The exciting thing is that it'll allow me to free up 24 slots in my Cube! Ten of them are going to be the WWK/BFZ/OGW manlands, and I'm moving Shelldock, Cradle, Phyrexian Tower, and Karakas into the main list...

    Safra v Anotak: Non-black 4C Grid Draft

    I cast it at the end of the game but there wasn't enough time to do anything with it. It held off a 5/5 i think?

    Safra v Anotak: Non-black 4C Grid Draft

    There was a fair bit of back-and-forth but I usually had three or four more cards in the end-game and could just drop Consecrated Sphinx once he was hellbent. Not quite as close as the decks make it look, I think. Great games, lots of interplay, but my wraths saved the day.

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Hey folks! I'm going to place another proxy order for my cube soon (fetches and wastelands for Aoret's mana experiment) and I wanted to take the chance to get some nice-enough copies of custom cards. My cube doesn't have any customs in it at present, and only one or two Sharpie "errata", but I...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    It's not in my cube but I fucked around with it in casual Tiny Leaders (Shu Yun flashback control). You really want redundant effects since you will bin the card you want at some point, but for something that's closer to card filtering than any real kind of CA it's a versatile tutor. I'd rarely...

    General How to make white aggro not suck.

    Dark Mike is a really sweet black six though, he's always on my shortlist. If you want a black six who isn't Gravy Train, less bomby than M. Wurm but more explosive than Sorin Markov. also how do people feel about cards like Meddling Mage, Nevermore, Runed Halo and Denied!? Too conditional and...
