    The Board Game Thread

    Will WotC license Arkham Horror games and skin them for Shadows Over Innistrad (now that it's confirmed they're parroting Lovecraft's universe for the story)? I hate those... games. EDIT: Dominant Species is ace. It's a pretty brutal game and learning all of the cards is fairly important to...

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Black Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    I just faced someone in a OOB draft with this; they drew an extra 4 cards over 5 turns (and didn't even cast the Jori as their first spell to trigger it). It seems *really* fun in formats where it has a relevant body.

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Safra, would you be interested in making a version of your cube specifically for grid drafting purposes? If yes, should it be 5 colors or 4 colors? (And how should the colors be weighted?) What size should it be? (I am thinking with 144 cards used in a grid that the correct population size is...

    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    The card showcasing this ability seems of a lower power level that is cubable with artifact synergies. Although, the token could've been named differently; clue doesn't have a dark enough connotation. I would've went with Evidence token.

    Safra vs Chris K: Non-W Sharzad Grid Draft

    Again, grid drafting was TONNES O' FUN (tm). I especially like the lack of a color in the card pool, but no matter how hard I try (started with the notion to try RB-based), I cannot seem to assemble an aggressive deck. Here is my pool/deck. If this was a real MTGO Limited option (with ULD...

    Unyaro bee Sting yavimaya gnats my memory thought it was the former, but upon inspection, it is the latter. Yav Gnats has never been on MTGO ...for some reason.

    [WIP] vennythekid's Powered Cube

    I started working on a powered cube twice (but never made it to a full list tough project!). Maybe you can gain some inspiration from my work. The most recent go was an attempt to integrate some conversations I've witnessed and participated in here. My big goal was using multiples liberally to...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I've found tappers to be scarier in aggro decks: they make it very hard for a slower deck to attack while maintaining defense and can remove two blockers. It may be the best defensive tapper, though.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Look at a cube where you think this might see play and filter by power 5+. Whenever I've tried one of these cards in a lower power environment, it ended in the sideboards of even my own RGx decks. Ferocious and cards like Elemental Bond or Triumph of Ferocity seem much easier to trigger, but...

    General The implications of a red cube?

    I played one of these about 5 years ago and this is what I remember: Archetypes were: "Wildfire" artifact ramp-control, Goblins (aggro or midrange), blitz aggro, aggro venturing into midrange, all-in red (Seething Song, Sneak Attack, Mana Flare and big CMC creatures). Enchantments were very...

    General When your playgroup wants you to powermax

    There are some interesting implications to running ~25 moxen: One mana cards lose some of their effectiveness. Many decks will have a mox or three and be looking a turn ahead on the curve. RDW doesn't need as many Jackal Pups if it hits a critical mass of Lightning Mauler and friends...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I tried it and was not impressed. Would rather play Basilica Screecher for an extortion machine or the Vampire hexmage for reasons grillo mentioned. Though, Thrull Parasite might be okay in a format with a lot of bestow/equipment/bloodthirst, where its quick board presence can be improved upon...

    [Feedback/Tuning] SOMROE (Fantasy Set)

    CubeTutor Draft (thanks to champion account) now 100% represents paper drafts. I am "testing" in prep for a large purchase. The big changes involved slimming the pool down so that it made exactly 48 15-card packs, removing many multicolored cards to add more flexible mono-colored (and...
