Am I the only one in this forum who's actually played organized card flipping before? Like half of the comments I've seen on this forum are so obviously written by non-athletes that it's almost humorous. When I was in high school (3 year starter for our varsity card flipping team) I would get a...

What an abomination. Is Docent of Perfection the only card that makes these? I can't understand the thought process at all.

For sure. I mean, they're just crappy proxies with cropped art and signatures cut off from what I've seen this morning. Nothing all that new or special here, I can't see where they'd see it a failure unless they just don't sell. But that's impossible; some Magic players have the worst impulse...

$999 for proxies. This is some clown shit. Maro's next Spin Class is gonna be one for the ages.

It all comes down to the power level and speed of your environment. Is it slow enough that you can afford to leave mana up for a bounce spell and then take part of a turn to re-deploy a card? Will you be punished for durdling around or do you have openings to loop value? Do you have decks that...

New duplicate voucher has been mocked up by my buddy. I'll get around to printing them sometime in the next couple of weeks when I get to physically updating the cards in my cube. I've pretty much just had the last couple months of swaps just sitting around in a section of my binder for now...

Raise the CMC on Oko, change the starting loyalty to something manageable, and change Beast Within to a -1 (this is still the most egregious thing whenever I see the card) and he'd be much more fair to play against. But then it's just a wholly different card. The big issue is that the...

Those Transformers cards just look horrendous to me art wise. They look like bad custom Magic cards.

I first played Magic way back in 5th grade with classmates during recess/lunch and also on the bus rides home. Prior to this I was waaaaay more into Pokemon, but mostly as a collectible and because the games and show were obviously the most important thing in any 7-10 year old boy's life at the...

I mean, it's kinda both, right? The CEO at Hasbro now (Cocks) is the same guy who expedited these changes and got the credit for doubling revenue as president at WotC the last 5ish years (thus the promotion). Secret Lairs in 2019 and the shift to Commander everything product in 2020 were clearly...

I think this new schedule works in targeting players that aren't all that invested in the game, say casual kitchen table or those who drift in and out playing for a bit and then taking a year or two off before coming back. To them it's just a new set coming out soon that they can mess around...

For real. It's crazy to jump right back into a legit spoiler season for a normal set. I'm still picking up Dominaria cards to slot into cube; hasn't even been a full month since it came out. The big Fall set was usually the one they put extra effort into where it remained fresh for like two...

I was trying to get a Riptide Lab deck export option on CubeCobra last year, seems it never got implemented. If any of you are on the Cobra discord, please chime in under Feature Requests as I've brought it up again after remembering that it never actually got done. I think it should be...

Well, this is the first big blog post I've had in months and it comes along the heels of some big updates with the base composition of my cube. I've mostly been tinkering with my cube each set release with new cards and then putting it aside until I want to revisit it for the last 2 years. I...

Sure, but that doesn't mean that it's unworthy for inclusion or overrated. I don't think anyone has been looking at it as some archetype defining card or best in show 3 drop. It's not that. The whole appeal of it is that it's a Charming Prince like glue card to supplement archetypes. Only this...

I was confused on Bonus until I remembered that I use Bonus Round as a placeholder on Cobra for my duplicate voucher cards. "Round" and "Knight" next to eachother just makes me think of Siegmeyer:

There is no real difference than us writing entries to our cube blog or a standalone deepdive thread in Cube Talk. On Cobra the last I checked you can just sign up to be a content creator, they'll give approval, and I'm assuming there's a minimal quality control process on submissions for lesser...

Part of it might just be the insane influx of product in a shortened period of time. You don't even really get a chance to process the newest cards or spend time with them before you're swept into another set of spoilers or a special new release. We just finished Dominaria spoilers and this...

Same. Just not into Universes Beyond as a concept at all; it's likely I just never include any of these cards because they're just so jarring to me aesthetically and as a concept. I think there's a lot in this set that works design-wise if it were skinned differently, within an actual Magic...
