    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Damn you Inscho! Now I'm thinking of stuff like this: Balance Gaea's Cradle Titania, Protector of Argoth Flagstones of Trokair Danger, danger! The thing is that, for me, the ideal power level is something where my blink decks are good. They can do some cool stuff, but they are fair. If they...

    Recruitment Officer vs Giant Killer Not too similar cards. Which one do you prefer and why?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I remember quite a few discussions on how this or that Vintage deck should run Mana Leak because being able to cast it from a single island was better than the added benefits from Mana Drain.

    I also want to note one thing. Art, the kind that has worth, doesn't come from endlessly reclying older ideas or overplayed inspiration. It comes from observation; observation of the real world we all live in. We all lose when a chunk of our world becomes a miasma of recycled ideas.

    If you can't understand why the wheel is not subject to copyright, you are not ready to debate this subject. Inform yourself first. That's not true. If I go and make a webcomic using Disney characters, that's a breach of copyright no matter if I do it for free or I don't pass them as my own...

    The fundamental problem is that the current tools are using copyrighted works, down to the entire database of magic cards, without the permission of their authors. It's no different from slamping, only on a larger scale. And it's clear the owners of these platforms know this because they have...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Some thoughts. First, I think extending "spells matter" per se, into green is not that great. It's possible and you can do it in the right cube, but I found it takes a good bite out of green's versatility to support an already great archetype. Hence, no Dragonsguard Elite. Second, Managorger...

    Sets (ONE) Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews

    I just don't think it's an inteersting mechanic. The difference between being hit by 2 damage or 1 poison are minor.

    For me that's the biggest thing, isn't it? The 3 mana slot of everything is so crowded.

    "Fast" multiplayer cube

    I don't know how your additions will play, but I can tell you one thing. I like all the cards you are adding but the only card you are cutting that I care about is Elixir Of Immortality. Also, the world is better without Subile Epiphany.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Since I was only a few cards away, I've deciced to just add a bunch of Earthcraft support and called it a day. Next time I have time, I'll see which cards I don't have and print out proxies for the rest. Let's give it a whirl.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks a lot Inscho. I'm actually quite happy with where I am with discard synergies right now. I feel I'm often picking up Containment Construct to boost a graveyard or discard theme but it doesn't feel intrusive or wrong to do so. For me the key to Prized Amalgam is just that it's a 3/3 that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I am so happy with how the cube is turning out. Just a few changes and everything seems better and fresher. Yeah, I'll pay a pretty penny when I have to buy opaque sleeves, but it will be worth it. Anyways, I'm still a few cards slot from rounding up the cube. This is my current list of...

    You guys keep posting new designs and, meanwhile, all my ideas are stuff like: What if Squandered Resources but it said "any non-creature permanent". Which would be fun, you know, but it's a different sort of custom card :p
