    General Too Many Lands

    Dual lands are not gold cards when you pair them with the appropriate fetches. Plateau in a W/B deck makes your Blood Crypt into a W/B land, and I'd play it 100% of the time even if I had no red unless I knew my opponent was on mono-wastelands.

    General Too Many Lands

    For a less facetious answer, I like having drafts with lots of fixing for a few reasons. Number 1: I think better fixing leads to better games. Mana screw or flood is difficult to control without making fairly drastic changes, but colour screw can be worked around by providing the tools to...

    General Too Many Lands

    In a typical cube draft deck, you'll play 23 spells and 17 lands. That means your deck is going to be 42.5% land. Therefore if you're not playing at least 42.5% lands in your cube total, you're not running enough lands. That's just maths!

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I don't think any of the Scars block draft formats were "good" due to many insane 6 mana rare bombs and the problems that infect caused, but man, I loved it for some reason, especially Scars/Besieged.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    The first deck I remember building myself was beast tribal with the mono combo of multiple Wirewood Savages and my one Anurid Brushhopper to kind of draw cards very slowly. I also had a black control deck with False Cure to counter the heavy Noble Purpose/Worship metagame. No one had any...

    General MTGO You Make The Cube

    I feel like we had about 10 from here? Maybe slightly less. I did see a WotC employee on twitter say that they couldn't respond to each submission individually to confirm because there were too many to do so, I'm not sure how many that would be though.

    General Graveyard Cube Contest Entry

    Thanks for the feedback everybody. I actually submitted the list on Friday - I don't think the time taken for more fine-tuning at this point is likely to increase my chances, and if I somehow am selected as a finalist that can be done together with/by Wizards. This has been a ton of fun to...

    Isn't that just one-sided Show and Tell? Unless you mean reanimate as in with the life loss, but that still seems way too good.

    I think I'm done tinkering, this is what I have as a first draft for the blurb to go along with it. I'd appreciate any feedback. Is it too silly/flippant?

    You don't like Dwarves? I think they're great, and perfect for the "default" white tribe which they have struggled to find for a long time.
