    General Balancing gold levels in a makeshift cube

    sure, why not? i mean, it is bad and everything but i do wonder if we can learn a few things from it, maybe idiosyncratic card choices or how to make something that has replay value or that people perceive to have replay value

    General Balancing gold levels in a makeshift cube

    gotta be able to take it when you dish it out! anyway it's an honor to be in this forum's orbit. i still think cube theory is as underdeveloped as MTG theory in general (likely due to lack of economic incentive on both sides -- not enough money for players; too much for WotC) but it's nice to...

    i always liked to run 61 but this article http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/frank-analysis-is-playing-more-than-60-cards-always-a-bad-idea/ is pretty convincing even better if you read it to yourself in frank karsten's soothing dutch voice

    Battling control decks with creatures will always be interesting and skill-testing on both ends. I forgot the funniest parts of my reminiscences: --When we had to deal with blockers and couldn't find a Rancor, we still wanted to win. Thus, we included a Rogue's Passage, in a format where...

    are we really bitching about losing $50 of value on a set of birthing pods when we're all huge junkies who've mainlined much more expensive magic cards for years?

    I think the shell of that deck is good enough that you can just minimize the combo and kick the crap out of people. i tried it the other day and sabertooth is so horrible that it makes me think wtf bad could happen if you just played Savage Knuckleblade instead, made the obvious switch from...

    So at my first Invitational we'd brewed a GW deck whose plan was to make a Silverblade Paladin and pair it with a Silverheart so you had sweet 6/6 and 8/8 double strikers. Basically at high levels of competitive play you can always count on the best players to level themselves and play whatever...

    General How does one assess a cube list? (Also, Reid Duke's guide to Cube)

    i glanced at the article and it was even worse than i thought. like i am not interested in any of reid duke's ideas about life at all unless it has to do with specifically evaluating magic cards, but even this dismal baseline was not met when i clicked the link and saw his baby boner for blue...

    around here it is universally acknowledged that marshall is a bland and dull fool, a grossly incompetent player and commentator who only got his sweet gig from the only way to make a living from magic (viz. corporate cocksucking), and a nice person.
