    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Me too, but that's not really a problem if people like what that color does. My cube had red being nothing but sligh and disruption, but people still liked it because sligh was fun. I like where it's at now, but I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for keeping it so monofacated.

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    Yeah, I've given up progression raiding for good, but honestly with how the game progressed it's way easier to play a reasonable ammount, and still have fun and feel like you aren't a filthy casual :P What did you play? (Also how far did you get in BC? One of my more epic/chilling memories was...

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    I'm actually prepping for a chrismas holiday binge of World of Warcraft. I used to play back around the second expansion (Burning crusade, for those currently tabbing to wikipedia to follow this conversation) and have a lot of good memories around that area, and the power creep allows you to now...

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    Omenspeaker's been fine. 2 drops are all 3 power thesedays, so the 4 toughness ones you gotta worry about, like plumeveil. Spellskite I like, frostburn weird seems horrible since he kinda just attacks/blocks and has horrible mana requirements to do so. Sea gate oracle is fine. I actually forgot...

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    Oh, cube tutor is still up to date. One moment. Jason's cube is at 56/360, which is 15.5% Not too high.

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Push him how? I'm almost sure he needs echo... maybe echo :u:? Make him a 3/3? I think the delver idea has more to do with just the pure density of the cards in your deck. Even if it's 3 delvers and 20 spells, it'll still be miserable flipping it because your odds are 50/50 there. Would we...

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    Thats an interesting idea Jason. What is the removal percentage in your cube? My cube sits at an intentionally paltry 10.5% (by more liberal interpretations) and 3.3% sweepers. (Also liberal) I remember one of the problems I had with disenchant was that it kept getting left in the sideboard...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Genju is sweet because (Like raging ravine) you can activate it mutliple times and get lots of counts of old lifelink, so it's a manland that is actually kinda sweet on T6 Faithmender sounds ballin :p

    My blue section is 47%: Faerie conclave counts, Thassa doesn't I'm not so worried about the overall number, because if your white section is 100% creatures, and your blue section is 0%, your still at 50%, but you definitely can't play blue aggro. I too love vapor snag. It's out right now...

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

    In a traditional cube enviornment, no, monstrosity doesn't work at all, the same way Auras don't work. No reason to sink a pile of mana into a creature if there's a 100% chance it'll get pathed. If you switch to sorcery removal, don't add so much, there might be a reason. I think most of us...

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    the overall percentage of creature density of your cube isn;t really important, but can be an interesting surface statistic to inform you that you might have a case of the boardstalls. More important I find is the individual percentages for each color, like blue is typically 30% creatures 70%...

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

    There might be, but I think it opens up some interesting space. This could be played in a deck with 0 mountains, for eg. Also it keeps both the bestow and mana costs low if I can't gaurentee a given deck can cast both halves of the card. Were the whole card red the bestow cost might have to go...

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

    Yeah Lucas wants him to cost {2}{R} to cast, which IMO kinda defeats the point of the creature :p I'm not really looking to have off colored bestow costs....hmmm that could be cool... Edit: Yay! I got to use the ginger samurai art! :D Edit 2: That's not how bestow is worded...

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

    Okay I'll admit he probably need to be :r::r:, but lets assume he's one of those soldier of the pantheon > savannah lions type rares for the moment. What are we looking at for a bestow cost? (Keep in mind Leafcrown Dryad has the cheapest available at the moment)

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    My idea behind blue aggro was the idea of "advance your board while causing incidental setbacks on your opponent's side" with the aformentioned manowar, spellstutter sprite, memory lapse etc and ride a single strong creature (delver, cloudfin raptor) and the mediocre bodies which come with your...

    FWIW, inherently signets are broken because splashing is so easy, not because 2 mana acceleration is broken. Strong sure, but controlled like any other effect they're fine. Also CML, if you have 0-2 2 drop accelerates in your cube, how do ramp decks exist? Are there just a million rampant...
