    This is more or less the exact logic that led me to include Satyr Wayfinder in my own cube over the likes of Mulch, Elvish Visionary, or Sylvan Ranger. The fact that he's slightly more versatile than each of the preceding cards gives him the edge, even if he isn't winning any trophies for Most...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    You can't tell Lucas he needs fewer Counterspells, that's not a sentence that registers with him. Or tell him that he needs less blue cards, period.

    Me neither! I've also banned the likes of Wurmcoil Engine, Batterskull, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, and Lightning Bolt. Yeah, poor old Bolt has to sit in the penalty box with all of those other heavy hitters. Multiple Wastelands change the dynamic of your cube entirely - see Jason's cube - while...

    If your cube is a smidge removed from the power maximization mindset - like, say, if your group regularly maindecks Volcanic Hammer - four Tectonic Edges in the utility draft is perfect. Celestial Colonnade and Kessig Wolf Run are among the most powerful and dangerous cards in my cube, and...

    Satyr Wayfinder is one of Lucas's new favourite cards in cube. He thinks it has real potential as an enabler, and he already loves himself some Mulch.

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I think CML reported this exact same problem when he ran a configuration of 20 fetches / 20 duals, and he's also since switched to 20 fetches / 30 fetchables. If I ran fifty fixers in a 450 cube, this is probably what I'd do, too. I think you definitely need at least as many duals as fetches...

    Yeah, I take back what I said. Looks like there are still a bunch of ongoing issues that need to be resolved. I'm working with our hosting provider on getting to the bottom of it. Apologies for the site wonkiness over the last little while. I can't give an estimate as to when things will be...

    Sorry for the site slowness and outages over the last day or two. I think we've gotten to the root of the problem, so you hopefully shouldn't see those issues anymore. That is to say, you can use the site again!

    How much of your green is custom, compared to the the proportion of custom cards in the rest of your cube?

    I'm already testing this one. It might not make the cut in the long run, but white could use some interesting spells that aren't just dudes, anthems, and removal.

    Card/Deck Bonfire of the Damned

    Heh, nothing too exciting, actually. I didn't play with or against the card all evening, but I observed Lucas's good buddy casually miracling Bonfire four times over the course of the evening, and in only one of those instances was his opponent able to scrabble his way back into the game. The...

    Faithless Looting Anyone have any success with this card in a non-graveyard focused (i.e. traditional) cube? I feel like of the five colours, red cares about the graveyard the least, and our graveyard-based decks here are usually some combination of {B}{U}{G}. Does this card do anything in...

    He had the Top! ...the Top was probably awful.

    Yeah, in truth, I'm pretty sure the Griselbrand was unnecessary, as the deck's pilot had little trouble winning even while it was stuck in his hand most games. I remember there was a Sheoldred in the same pack as that Griselbrand, which might have been a better fit.

    Nah, I think they've been backing away from both Journey to Nowhere and Elesh Norn as bellwethers of power. We're now three blocks removed from Scars, and the power level has been trending down bit by bit over time. Heck, Scars and Zendikar were themselves a step down from Alara - save for a few...
