This does illustrate an interesting point. Any card can theoretically be low-powered provided that the cards surrounding it are equally low powered.

I see no reason not to call a mono-color archetype a mono-color.

But black very rarely wants to be chump-blocking, bounce spells generally aren't good enough to warrant playing, most white removal is either expensive, conditional, or temporary, and red having to use two burn spells still puts you up a card. Colossus only blanks black's 1-for-1 removal...

Although I usually think protection is an inelegant and horrid ability, I think Chameleon Colossus is one of the only cards that makes good use of it. This simple ability prevents colossus from dying to most Terror effects. Since it's too big to die to most burn spells, blue doesn't have hard...

No, the best changing is Chameleon Colossus. Of all the cube cards I haven't been able to squeeze into highball, this is probably the one I'm saddest about. I guess if you're trying to explicitly support a specific tribal subtheme in a cube, then something like Changeling Outcast could be...

I wrote my own little piece about fatties in The Train Station. Please give it a read!

Fat Bois and How to Use Them The Role of Fatties in Cubes Recently, there has been a thread here on Riptidelab.com discussing "fatties," or large creatures. This thread has sparked a conversation about fatties and how to use them in cube. However, the original thread (and many of the...

It's because you're attaching the images instead of using the built-in image from source button (the little picture of the tree between the button for adding video and the button for adding links). Unfortunately, if you are on a mobile device, you cannot add pictures normally, and thus have to...

I thought you had said "Immature" when I first read this and my immediate thought was: "What's wrong with using 19th Century Women's Underwear to illustrate a point about Magic: The Gathering design?" I'm glad you said premature :p

Thanks, Chris!

I wrote this piece about why core sets need to change... Click Here to read it.

Magic's Corset: The Core Set For centuries, the undergarment of choice for women was the corset. Corsets were used to artificially give women an "hourglass" figure, as well as provide support for the breasts. Unfortunately, corsets had some issues. They were expensive, impractical, and downright...

Apparently the guy who lead the design on M20 also lead the design on Masters 25. That... explains a lot, actually.

In theory, no, but since you're trying to support a spirits archetype, I'd say yes. You'll need more than 23 spirits and 0 arcane spells to get there though. Remember, this doesn't need to be a repeatable board wipe, most of the time simply casting a single 2 or 3 drop spirit after this is...

This is a sentiment I wish to echo.

I'll play this if I can find a cut. Goodbye... Sarkhan, maybe? I'm sure yet. He's very good with Drake Haven and a cycling package.

Ral, Storm Conduit is really fun, unlike the rest of the GRBS cards you've listed. I think he might be worth providing a higher power level to a WAR cube to facilitate. That's just my opinion, though. I have only a little experience playing against the card in limited. I should note, however...

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. M20 was mostly rubbish in my opinion. It really lacks the resonance a core set should have to make it new player friendly. Sure, some of the designs are...

This custom makes me smile: This is a wonderful design! I wish WOTC would print more actual cards like this... Great job Chris!
