    General Vanguards with Cube

    I have half of the Planechase planes and I used to bust them out if people really wanted to play multiplayer. We did a thing I read about online once but haven't ever seen again, but which I think is pretty fun: Shuffle your stack of planes like normal, and then lay out 5 planes in a +...

    General Sunk Cost Fallacy and the impact on the evolution of cube design

    Really fascinating idea. So, a 'Scarab God scale' is a score from 1 to 5 evaluating a card's ability to overshine whatever cool synergy we're excited about with just being a little too pushed? This could be useful. Other 5s: Pack Rat, Jitte a 4 might be, uh, Brago, King Eternal?

    I'm really stoked about the CCDD uncommons. I think they all look absolutely bananas and I want to play all of them a lot.

    Golgari just gives and gives and gives! Check this out: Can't wait to regrow Wastelands with one or both of these. Maybe we'll be getting new lands that you want to sacrifice?

    I'm more amazed anyone else knew about the Babylon 5 CCG.

    General Sunk Cost Fallacy and the impact on the evolution of cube design

    Hey, me too! I definitely had an issue in like 2015 where I was trying to make my power band as flat as possible, really amped up on synergistic picks. But the fact of the matter was that my drafters didn't share my enthusiasm for P1P1-ing between two equivalently-strong answers, or threats they...

    I don't like Llanowar Mentor at probably most power levels. It's really clunky and most of the spellshapers are either not worth using or become every-turn plans (also dull). Some early R/G discard outlets not mentioned yet: (higher-power first, then lower-power. not a precisely sorted list)...

    extremely good card is obviously extremely good, but I really like it for Cube, too. Splash hate on problem lands, enchantments, etc. while reducing non-games due to screw. I don't see any of us cutting Abrupt Decay, but if you're still playing Putrefy this seems like it does more for your format.

    One cool thing about the lich is you can't deck yourself, because it replaces the draw you'd lose to. TRUE IMMORTALITY

    General The Draft Exchange

    Hi Ravnic! I drafted yours again. P1P1 I'm torn between Worn Powerstone (the strongest card?) and Mystical Tutor (I sure do love toolboxes!). I go M-Tutor into Bolt, Azorius Signet, and P1P4 I see Rise From the Tides. Aha! I think. Spells-matter, maybe jeskai control. An early 3rd splash into...

    No obvious dud mechanics, which is nice. RIP Cipher. Graveyard-scry is something I've thought about doing with customs for a while, and I think it'll play really well. Jump-start sounds positively bonkers. A fixed version of Epic?

    General The Draft Exchange

    I wrote out a quick draft play-by-play for you. Hope it's helpful! I started with a Lightning Bolt and was hoping to end up in something aggressive. As I looked at the next pack and saw bouncelands, midrange beef, and combo shit, I decided Bolt is probably better as premium removal. I really...
