I know this is going to sound really trite and condescending, but it's not intended that way. 1: Smarter mulligans - people keep shit hands sometimes. 2: Think about your manabase when you build the deck. 3: Is there sufficient density of card draw or virtual card draw in the cube - ways of...

I think I would have to see all the homelands before I had any valid thoughts on the concept - the deckbuilding restriction to run 18 lands and needing that extra colourless source seems to put it in the camp of midrange and control rather than supporting the aggro decks that top out at 3 mana...

Foolish to think it can't :P

After some failed experiments with errata-ing cards, not going there again. People who have played with cards remember how they work, and rather than solving an aesthetic problem, you've created a gameplay one where muscle-memory and familiarity screws with your players rather than supporting...

I did the Golem == Construct and Ally == Rebel thing for a while. Both of them caused memory/familiarity issues, which I'm sure would get better with reps or even just alters, but my players were pretty used to some of these cards and making the change did have people going "Oh, wait, no this is...

I don't know if squeaky clean paragon of virtue is how I'd characterize MHW devs or Minecraft devs either, but it's a hell of a lot nicer to be on the receiving end of generosity stemming from rational self-interest rather than naked greed coming from the same. They're also doing a bit for...

Seconded on the Auriok Salvagers. Scrapyard Recombiner is another very good friend with Scrap Trawler - at least, they get along very well indeed in my list. I don't run Ravager (Which is sadly a Beast not a Construct), but I assume they would get along too. Hangarback Walker, Containment...

On the topic of environments that are full of discard-triggers and are glacially slow: Tectonic Reformation Easy to overlook, as the "red do-nothing enchantment" slot is pretty crowded in the discard-matters area - Molten Vortex, Lightning Rift, Seismic Assault, Curse of Chaos, or if you're...

Yeah Pyromancer is nuts. I like Pia and Kiraan because they're good where you want them, great sometimes, but not an autoinclude in "Deck that can get to {R}{R}" - plus I love Siege-Gang "Go wide, give reach" top ends for red decks that just need to get the last few points of damage in. OTOH...

Cemetery Protector, Sigarda's Vanguard and Phantom Steed are some spicy includes for bant flash. How are you finding Jolrael? I have a really high density of cycling and she just wasn't doing all that much for me. You also look like you're juuust at the threshold of self-mill and creatures that...

As like Julie Dillon is another one I'd totally missed due to small sample size, but I love that Thought Scour and her Breya is gorgeous too - I suspect my partner will want to replace all their Deathbringer Liege's too now :P I'd thought about Hynninen, but she only has STA cards so far, and...

To be fair though, Eclipse Phase was also the better game

Not all her works are amazing, but I'm a big fan of Burmak's rendition of Zegana, and Practical Insight makes me feel the same way as Nielsens FoF. And now there's Extinguish the Light, too. That said, you are entirely correct on changing the list for Sam Guay - I've never seen their work...

It's gimmicky as shit but I run Second Sunrise and Faith's Reward in a Friendly Armageddons EDH deck. It may not be cube, but I can confirm they're both really sweet in lands.dec The incidental crossover with aristocrats is kinda neat too, but a bit meh - it's cool if you run stuff like...

Not going to lie, while I disagree with some specific points you make, I do agree in general. I don't think an eternal format is in a good place when it's in essence Horizons Block Constructed but there are a variety of decks even if they share a significant percentage of their cards. While...

I'm sad to see him go too, the nostalgia is real - this is the copy of Huntmaster that came out of the same pack as a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and a foil Vorapede, to the immediate disbelief of all present. All three of those cards saw play in FNM-winning standard decks of mine (Angel of Glory's...

It's not even on the reserved list though, it got removed from it 20 years ago. They've reused the original art before on a modern border foil (Though with Tedin's signature edited out) for the judge gift program. It's not only cropped but also washed out as hell. It's like they photocopied the...

No it can't possibly be a proxy, proxies are for playing with and aren't worth any money. Speculators will buy this in droves and leave them in sealed plastic boxes in the hope that someone else will want to pay for a piece of cardboard to keep in a sealed plastic box. It's a 'collectable'.

It's going to be able to be 4/4 a lot, but I was worried about it leading players into making the wrong call when using it next to Flashback and Delve. Probably not a good enough reason to not run Red Looter Goyf :P. I had been leaning towards the Theorist, but this convinced me. While I had...

Damage on the stack is a cool suggestion to making self-bounce stronger. Lets you play old blue favourites like Aquamoeba too
