    General Flat Power level vs. Less Flat Power Level

    Swords are this weird combination of Powerful, Uninteractive, Midrangey and Colorless, each element of which is not particularly egregious, but together add up to a card barely worth the fun They've all got strong triggers that can take over a game or close one out quickly, often after 1-2...

    Man, I kinda wish there was like a half size gristlebrand with a "activate once during your end step" or some shit on his ability

    Seems strong, lotta damage coming out of this guy, 5 toughness is awesome. PLEASE live the dream and activate mirror entity precombat, just once :D

    FSR: What was your initial ideas about Alesha and Mardu Strike Leader? I've had great success with both, just wondering if overrated means "horrible" or "not making me froth at the mouth"

    I will say eric: I have an overly weird experience with chandra, pyromaster, and outpost siege is really good if your opponent ever attacks her; might as well have one they don't get to kill for "free" right? White one is sweet on both halves, only reason I don't love the hell out of it is that...

    Just sayin, unless you're dealing with a complete asshole, they totally accept "Large"

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

    Sure, you can, but there are all mostly distracting layers on top of an already really interesting card :P Part of the genius of him is that he doesn't need to be playable since he does so much for the draft dynamic anyways.

    General How does one assess a cube list? (Also, Reid Duke's guide to Cube)

    It would be interesting to see how the sets have evolved over time, if at all. Someone with more stats knowledge than me? I haven't touched this kind of analysis in a decade

    While this is basically the answer behind every card that doesn't make it in, none of them really excite me :P

    General Cube supplies (sleeves, storage etc.)

    Interesting! It's her birthday today so I'll tuck this idea away for later when it's less rude, but that's not as bad as I thought. Shipping on the cube vault was north of 100$, and it proved waaaay too heavy.

    Man fodder launch needs to be a nongoblin card :D

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

    I've had librarian in as a courser, and it still feels really embarassing maining him. Then again, he's so powerful during the draft that I feel he doesn't need to be playable. If I ran conspiracy cards again, I'd probably opt for the real version rather than shaving a colorless so he can be...

    General How does one assess a cube list? (Also, Reid Duke's guide to Cube)

    Oh yeah, and it's also really hard to read given the giant number of lines all really close together. What it is nice for illustrating is a nice baseline for creating a limited format (A lot of people ask how many savannah lions is too many, this at least gives them a ballpark) and that...

    Oh sweet Jesus this exploded! Okay, thoughts: Poker makes an interesting analogue in the consistency vs variance spectrum, but has one huge advantage over magic: Poker is not decided on a single hand, but over many. The difference between a shit poker player like me who's never played before...

    After playing a bit with valorous stance in standard, I love the thing, and I'm adding 2. Cube ain't all coursers and brimaz, but I'm sure it'll be alright I love having a removal spell that I don't feel bad drawing against control, and that while it doesn't kill everything, there's enough...

    General Cube supplies (sleeves, storage etc.)

    I'm excited about the wooden box guy! Eric: How was shipping? I get this all the time when I look at general MTG knowledge about supplies since most people are in the US. My next project is resleeving my cube and Heather plans on investigating the wooden box idea for my birthday apparently.
