You know what, I should write an article about my cube :) Stay tuned. Am I allowed to make an entire new thread dedicated fully to my cube?

There are hundreds of ways to reduce the amount of non-games. Choosing the right or wrong ones for your cube is also part of the fun we have when we create a cube. I do not believe basic land cycling is the only way to make sure there's much less non-games. So again: I guess it depends on...

I do not agree. Even though it looks like many people do. Each color has its strengths and weaknesses. Wizards usually do not include color-fixing in non-green colors in sets unless: 1. It is a multicolor block. 2. It is on a rare cycle To me it feels wrong to have land fixing on non-green...

Case and point ;)

I am not sure how I like land-fixing in non-green colors. I guess it depends on your design philosophies.

Salmo2 It seems to me that you and I share many of the same demands we have for custom made cards. If you make the home-made cards in a high enough quality, in a low enough quantity, as simple as possible and without pushing any power floor or ceiling... then people will sometimes question...

I respect that decision and I respect you and Ahadabans. However it was part of a solution to his problems. Either custom or have patience. As I wrote several times, and as he agreed to in the end, there are many good reasons why Wizards rarely print ten new and rare dual lands in the same set...

Onderzeeboot Is that your personal list based on power level?

Missed a few points and I'm going to make up for it now. 1. I don't know this. I never said I knew. I said I believe. 2. I have played Magic regularly since Tempest from October 1997. So that's twenty years in a few months. However I started playing non-regularly when the game was...

As I've said before, Ahadabans, your problem can be solved with custom cards. There's no need to make a big thing about it. Secondly I strongly believe it is better for the game (not our cubes but the game) to not have everything given to us right away. Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation had...

1. Ravnica: City of Guilds is 12 years ago. That was before they changed the design strategy and before they changed the design strategy again. They did it with the Fetch lands. Between Onslaught (2002) and Zendikar (2009) there were 7 years with only five allied Fetch lands. Now they...

1. Usually we don't get the complete cycle until a few blocks has past. Learning from our history tells us it is more likely Wizards will finish the Battle for Zendikar duals before the Amonkhet cycles. 2. I do not feel this set is bad for cube. It might still be the worst since Nyx though...

I'll just wait for Riptidelab to catch up. I know the tension must kill you all ;)

These are the cards I'll be testing the next six months: White Angel of Condemnation Angel of Condemnation Blue Nimble Obstructionist, Supreme Will Nimble Obstructionist Supreme Will Black Bontu's Last Reckoning Bontu's Last Reckoning Red Hour of Devastation, Abrade, Neheb, the Eternal Hour...

Maybe it wasn't a decision. Maybe they never thought of it. Not saying that's the case but sometimes people make 'decisions' from a perspective the rest of us can't relate to as easily as one might think.

Didn't Jason write an article once about a life gain deck where the amount of life didn't matter as much as the number of instances of life gain? This feels like a solid inclusion. Imagine having two on board.

Already a favorite. Will have to cut a custom card to make room for this all-star! Still trying to learn how to upload non-released card pictures.

How do you attach a picture of a card that is not in the database yet?

I'm seriously thinking about trying out Razaketh, the Foulblooded Razaketh as an extra reanimator target. Stop me! It's no Grisel but it's big, potentually game-winning if you have more gas ledt in the library, supports a sacrifice theme and has a cool lore to him! 'Cept for the flavor text ofc..

It does work. And you're right there's some really nice design space left. I have my suspicion that Wizard's are going to explore that design space when they next visit Amonkhet (if possible) Great designs although I find it funny Rock has no way of going to the GY :D
