    Card/Deck Squee, Goblin Nabob

    I think cube has enough for a few of these effects, and squee is my favorite of the bunch.

    Small checklist: Survival of the Fittest/Fauna Shaman Smallpox Birthing Pod (Okay that's kinda loose) Looters (Good ones, not that shit compulsion) Spellshapers (Okay these are far and few between thesedays, but could be added in if there was a graveyard or madness theme. Braids, Cabal Minion...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    So Chris, do any of the blue cards in your cube do anything, or are they all just durdles to get better cards in other colors? Cantrips, Intuition, Frantic Search, Mystical Tutor (Sidenote: the fuck is this doing here?), gifts... Now I know why people say blue sucks in this cube. Blue's about...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    Ace/Crusader = Don't cut double strike! Though I would swap crusader for either another paladin or fabled hero, if only for feelbads. Mindcensor = he's kinda Eh for me. Does pod need this hosing? I know it leads to sweet moments where they find it anyways, but has he actually been good? Gideon =...

    From the for delver thread: Shift might be too expensive. What's your opinion of favorable winds?

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Not every card in a delver deck needs to flip delver. The aim is to make delver fine in those decks because most of your threats are also instants/sorceries, so you could have a defensible threat density without making delver never flip. If we have a deck of 2 delvers, 10 midnight hauntingish...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    I'd argue UW or (with some tweaking of green) UG decks are possible, as I've suggested in the original post. Less of an "All in on Delver" deck, and more delver being a support to an anthemny tokeny deck. It'll take a few less Cloudgoat Rangers and a few more raise the alarms, but From what I...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Do you think the un-fun-ness of the deck is inherrent to the card delver of secrets, or the cards around it? I think delver is just a reasonable clock for a deck loaded with instants and sorceries. Ensuring your opponent never has a threat from turn 1 onwards not only doesn't seem possible in...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    This is why I'm going the token cards route: I feel the threat light blue deck is a fools errand. It might be possible, but I think even if it were it wouldn't really contribute to good gameplay. Have you seen how legacy rug delver games play out? When the delver player is drawing according to...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    Sucking I'm not so sure about, but it is arguably worse than ponder/preordain if you play it and don't have any way to shuffle your library. The basic mode where you don't shuffle is fine, but the (much more broken mode) where you have a fetchland essentially turns it into draw 3 discard 2...

    Card/Deck Making Delver Work

    The No ammount of cantrips bit was from CML's thread: That's what, 15 cantrips at 400 cards? That's an insane density, and if that wasn't enough I don't know what is.

    anotak's cube (budget-ish)

    Interesting Naya Deck. How was imperious Prefect? I've always found her really slow and midrangey. Has Fires of Yavimaya been good to you?

    Wow, he just gives you mana... no weird restrictions on when/where you have to spend it. That's an interesting sac outlet you found there Dom :D

    The Book Thread

    Not in my opinion. There was no better example of modern language improving writing than that one philosophy class I had where I was required to read Immanual Kant's entire works. Fucking christ why wasn't the period invented until the late 18th century? The first thing we had to read was a 75...
