    General When Is Fixing Too Good?

    Stifle not being legal in modern is a problem there :*( The impact of wasteland and force of will on legacy is not one to be understated it seems

    General CBS

    I love my cube more than in 2010 because I'm down to 23 custom cards, from 110 at the time. Evolution: Not leaning on a crutch :P

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Choice of bounceland maybe? There's a few random lands which are miligned because they serve one deck and one deck only, but most of them are kinda boring (Glacial fortress, for eg)

    Card/Deck Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

    Far too stronk I think I'm cutting her. (Yes, her! :P) Even if it's not too powerful, this kinda deck isn't something I agree with in principal. Kiki is cool, but not cool enough to justify my most hated of gameplay

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    How do you lay out temple of choice style picks anyways? Just a big pile of temples? (Do people confuse that for getting all of them, like with the cloudposts?) Is there a custom card that explains the pick?

    General How many basic lands?

    In one of the few interesting things to come out of MTGS, there is actually a mathematical answer for this: (Beware! Statistics!) I think I've got 25 of each, but it's really flexible. Until you start extra pimping and mass ordering foil basics of the same art, just keep a pile of unsleeved...

    Graveyard Cube

    I think we can agree that's a bit of a fringe case :P I'm taking kikki out anyways. Even if it's not too good, it's not something I agree with.

    Card/Deck The art of drafting a deck that goes 2-1 in losers corner

    Okay, for the love of god, can we spoiler tag those things? Loading this page takes like 5 minutes while all the images slowly appear, all the while the bottom keeps going further down, so I can't read anything :P

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    What if we cut it down super super small and gave everyone like 2 picks? I think a lot of the complexity involved right now is the sheer amount of information you need to process while staring at like 60 lands. If it was like 24 lands total, would it be easier? I love the idea of "<Cycle> of...

    I'm not doing it, but that is mint :P

    General When Is Fixing Too Good?

    Maybe the "loading screen" problem? I think this is a maro-ism, but the idea is that with the fetch-laden mana of modern and legacy, there's a lot of moments where people are just waiting, either for the search to be done or the shuffling to happen. I dunno about modern, but good mana seems...

    Site News Inaugural RipLab draft: February 9th (Sunday)

    Yeah a bestowed creature loses the rest of its types. I think I wont be adding this guy :(

    Graveyard Cube

    I mean I like it, but If shatter is marginal, and tormod's crypt is marginal, and you never cast the 3rd mode....

    Troels' cube

    Sounds like a great pitch, if nothing else! Initial thoughts: I'm not a huge fan of tendrils of corruption. The restriction it places on your deck doesn't feel worth the payoff (warleader's helix) Is screams from within good? I've never played with that card outside mirrordin draft, where it...

    "Mono" Green Cube

    Oh man beacon brings back memories. How I want that card to say "land" instead of "forest" :P I hate to be that guy, but have you considered proxies?

    Graveyard Cube

    Like sever the bloodline? I think in this cube it probably gets the nod over the newer gild Sever the BloodlineGild I don't think there's anything that says "choose one: terminate or relic of progenitus" IIRC

    [Design/Construction] Lets build the Scuttlemutt Cube!

    I'd say bring back Crovax if you want a white finisher. Scuttlemutt pinging is the sweetness :D

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    Cruel probably doesn't fit. But assuming you're okay with your cube being 359 cards for the possability of some sweet stories, I'd go for it. That's basically the justification I gave myself :P I'd keep all 3 garruks. Fight garruk is sweet in aggro, regular garruk is a nice midrangey grindy...
