talked this over tonight after previously considering it (see below). I think I don't like 4x12 with my lands in the land box situation; i thought, oh, it's fun to see each pack exactly twice, but isn't some of the tension of 15-card-packs that, like, some of what you see won't wheel? (6 by 48...

Also I don't think I've traded cards in a year or two. I give cards to friends or friends give me cards and if they're expensive foils or whatever we pay each other tcg mid, but otherwise the transaction is just a gift

Great question lol

we are all fundamentally collectors of expensive cardboard with no "use value" outside of legitimate entry to tournament magic events. this is my hobby and I am a collector of magic cards, and the way I have fun collecting is through, for, maintained by, Cube. There's a lot of words posted above...

goyf was a 5/6 and when he wasn't he was a 6/7 or an 0/1

Oh, UNTAPPED lands.... I'm just gonna be over here crying in the corner I guess.......

It's on four cards; three of which are from the later Lorwyn sets (compared to "Glamour", which appears only once!) Makes sense to me to assume that it's a deliberately phonetic respelling of "glamour" for Lorwyn world that is now enough of a "Magic IP word" to get reused here in Cowboy Town.

The first time I gave Urborg Scavengers haste and then it got to attack and also get flying and lifelink i was like oh wow i get it now. beautiful card. Withdraw Unsummon++ that's worth a big mana blowout and which ALSO lets Hero feel incredibly smart for targeting their own creature and...

Yes, and I think it's a clunky mess. Post Phyrexian Invasion 2, "Omenpaths" now connect planes to each other, allowing normal not-planeswalkers (legendary creatures, natch) to go from plane A to plane B, letting Wizards tell a bunch of stories. Fish out of water, new ideas that change an entire...

I think this guy is very good and going to be in my Cube for a very long time. Excited for more Storm-lite stuff in red.

that dream halls dragon is delirious. very cool

And indeed I do! I'll reply to your numbered points and then more generally to your post. 1), 3), 4): yeah, totally. A lot of magic 'real world' flavour and costuming and cultural 'look' feels like it's just there as part of the styleguide for art commissioning. The Mardu/Kolaghan Horde feels...

I've basically given up : ( I'm now on "Force of Death" in black if that tells anyone just how little I am trying to make the idiomatic phrasing work anymore

the commander players say it's busted

Yes, I've tried it, and it's good in my cube. But probably once I list some good cards for the archetype I am going to warn you not to make it its own thing, and instead to use it to support a particular cheat target whose play pattern you want to encourage. Here are my top 3 targets: Diabolical...

NONBASIC LAND BOX So here's another dumb thing I threw a lot of spare time at; based on the success it seems to have in cubes that try to 'draft constructed decks', i want to put the fetch-dual manabases that modern and legacy are built around in the land box at a 'free' opportunity cost...

IMPROVING THE COLOUR PIE (WOTC'S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB BUT I ALSO HAVE SOME IDEAS) GARFIELD GREAT: the color system articulates not only mechanical structure of the card game, but is a deeply evocative and emotionally resonant way to articulate different styles of gameplay and what they 'mean'...

I made these a couple years ago (and re-rendered them just now to Surveil 1 instead of Scry 1). Hope someone can play them now that I'm not.
