Sorry for the late reply. Geistblast was pretty average. I had high dreams of copying a Rise From the Tides but 9 mana is a bit too much. It did let me double up on Tormenting Voice in a couple of games, which was pretty sweet. Made for a better Thoughtflare (Discard 1, Draw 4 for 5 mana)...

So a friend bought a box and we had a six-man draft. I thought since it was casual, I would try and draft something obscure. Saw Rise From the Tides after a first pick Geistblast and decided to go all in. Ones Twos 1 Rattlechains 1 Manic Scribe 1 Kessig Forgemaster 1 Daring Sleuth 2...

Actually digging deeper, it looks like they did pull it early. It's a real shame that it had do be done this way though. They could have just let it run its course then never use it again. RIP Legendary cube. You were turning into something great only to be cut down by the power-hungry masses.

I knew Aston would be in white blinky value town, so I tried to go underneath it with goblins: Realising this was a bad idea (no thanks to mulligans) I shifted to the big Mystical Teachings variant: I'm going to keep people guessing as to whom the victor is at this point...

Round 5 Non-Green: Aston vs Kirblinx The one for all the marbles. Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16

I didn't even recall them saying it was going to be up. I joined a queue thinking it was a Legendary Cube Draft, little did I know. It seems like they have tacked on the most recent changes onto the article with the changes last time (so now we have no idea what the changes were from the...

I miss the legendary cube already. Who the hell allows someone to assemble this horrendous beast of unfun: I did lose in the final though, to mana screw then Thespian's Stage + Dark Depths Combo. But geez, if this deck didn't lose to itself nothing could beat it. This isn't just Super...

So Aston and I will be playing in the finals in about 9.5 hours from this post (Saturday 9am GMT) Jason should be streaming our matches (don't think we are going to have hand cam going, it takes a bit to work). So if you want to come by and check it out please do. Appropriate links will be...

I don't it really needs to be said, but from the amount of drafts I did, you can tell I really enjoyed the format. From the previous iteration they did a good job of reinforcing the 'battlecruiser' style magic they were aiming for with this cube. Taking out a lot of fixing and mana rocks was met...

I claim this is all for research, but I feel I may have an addiction. It is just so easy to win in this thing. Another swath of decks, this time all in the single elim queue: I want to talk a little about that Mardu deck in the middle. I was getting hated out in all the colours I was picking and...

When I finally got around to replying to the post I didn't even realise that is what it could be. I wonder what would have happened if Grillo was the first to reply. I thought I was being fairly contained in my response (surprising, I know :P). All I could picture in my head while I was...

I'm going to play Sin Prodder here, and question those Penny Pincher changes. The biggest issue is the cutting of the bouncelands. They are what the entire environment was built around. They interact with the untap effects, the scry and gain lands and being able to keep low-land decks to...

I played Fez and Braid and rather enjoyed it. I was a very keen Achievement Hunter back in the day. Tried to 100% as many games as I could. Couldn't manage to do Braid's speed run, tried a couple of times to no avail. I 100%'ed Super Meat Boy, which was very chuffed about. Game is great...

I guess we of the cube-folk don't care too much for constructed but how about that Banned and Restricted Announcement? Lodestone Golem restricted in Vintage. What a surprise! What is a poor shops man to do now? I think something might have happened in Modern too, but no one plays that format.

- Ode to the Final Round - When this grid league concept had come to fruition I did not expect to have a chance to win the competition Meltyman started strong, but his 'goodstuff' has now started to fail He can still rally up second place but he needs to nail His own win against Grillo, while...

Since the Legendary Cube is back on MTGO, I thought that in the interest of science that I would give it another couple of spins. It is nice that they no longer have the 'only Legendaries' restriction and even the themes they decided to put in were cool. It is still horribly wonky though, with...

So, I am unsure as to where to put this, but I just had my prerelease and it feels like a pretty deep limited format. It also feels fairly aggressive. I don't think I've ever had this many two drops in a sealed deck before. Although, I probably should have played some amount of 5CC removal...

Dude, they are no joke. They at the forefront of the Australian Hardcore scene. If anything it sounds like a great name for a rapper, but I'll take hardcore over rap any day.

Evasion stalling is a real thing. It is banned in the unofficial pokemon battle organisation 'Smogon rules', but can still be used in 'official competitions' and is cheap but effective. I came prepared, as Toxic will slowly kill them even with Recover spam. Also, Roar force switches them...

This is probably a joke/trap, but I don't care. I'm always up to battle with Pokemon. I have never been into the Animal Crossing craze, it doesn't appeal to me. Although my sister is a big fan. I recently did the 'Kanto Classic' event where you could only use the first 150 pokemon, 6v6, no...
