    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    General GP Toronto

    Anyone going to be coming up to the GP here in two weeks' time? Calvin and I are most likely gonna be there on Saturday. Would love to meet any of you folks on here if you're going.

    Card/Deck land destruction

    Yep, it's certainly versatile. I just prefer Avalanche Riders on power level, between the ability to hit basics and nug someone for two. But it's rare I would cut a Fulminator Mage if I took one, especially if I was in Rakdos.

    Card/Deck land destruction

    Why is Fulminator Mage that good in cube..? It's always been ok if unspectacular here, as the 2/2 body doesn't normally amount to much if it's not detonating lands. Avalanche Riders is the one that gives people fits, especially when it's an aggro curve-topper. I realize that Modern constructed...

    Card/Deck land destruction

    I love me some land destruction. Love with a capital L. Mwonvuli Acid-Moss is sweet, especially if you can ramp into it on turn three. It works best in the green ramp deck facing off against the blue control deck, but I suppose it might have other applications elsewhere. I've run Spreading...

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    I... wow. And I thought managing my one fantasy hockey team was a handful. I... was a said 'filthy casual'. At a rate of four hours playtime per day - equating to one month of real time over seven months - I had no chance whatsoever of getting into any of the hardcore raiding guilds. I...

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    To be honest, haven't tried any of my Theros additions yet.. they all arrived on Thursday, and we're cubing Monday. Excited!

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    I was addicted to World of Warcraft (also in the Burning Crusade era, natch) for the better part of seven months. I always tell myself that one day I'll get back into the game, but realistically I know that it will never happen. Preeeetty sure it's the best co-op game of all time though, and...

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    I have a Pillar of Flame. Along with a Burst Lightning. And a Shock! One time, all three of them were in the same pack. Much confusion and bewilderment ensued.

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    Everybody on this forum already despises me for this, but.. Lightning Bolt is still banned in my cube. *ducks and runs*

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    that game was THE BEST. even to this day, i get excited every time i hear a TMNT remake of sorts is coming to xbox live. (and then inevitably get disappointed when i find out it's a crappy nostalgia cash-in).

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    Geez, 10.5%! And here I thought I was nerfing my spot removal by bringing it down into the 15-16% range (plus an additional 3% mass removal). Along with the removal proportion, I suppose it's also important to note the quality of the removal that we run. I don't have any of the staples like...

    Whip of Erebos Anger of the Gods Ember Swallower Firedrinker Satyr Arbor Colossus Boon Satyr Sylvan Caryatid Chris, how's Omenspeaker been for you? I finally got my shipment of Theros cards, but now that I'm staring at it in hand, I'm not sure I want it in over any of Sea Gate Oracle...

    What non-Magic shit are you up to?

    my brother came over yesterday to play magic, and before we dove in for a grid draft, i booted up skylanders on my xbox to show him the amazing technical wizardry behind the collectible figures. four hours later, we had romped through six levels of co-op, min-maxing all of the characters and...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Faithmender! That's perfect. Going into my shopping cart, immediately. I.. have no idea what to think of that Genju.

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Hmmm. You have a point. Anybody got suggestions for halfway decent defensive white cards, that don't prolong midrange mirrors indefinitely..? Lifegain is a bonus, but not strictly necessary. Seraph of Dawn Too janky?

    General HWO MAENY CRTAUERE??

    My creature count is at 50% on the dot, after the latest round of changes. Like CML, I run an usually high amount of fixing, so 15% of my cube is lands, meaning that only 35% is spells. With those numbers, it's probably no surprise that my Delver / spells-matter theme isn't really coming...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Yeah, I'm not a huge wall fan, but it felt like white control needed a push, and this was Calvin's recommendation for a defensive card. If this ends up clogging games, I'm blaming him.

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    So it seems like that time has finally come: aggro is, at this juncture, too good. Between me slowly but gradually shrinking the cube from roughly 405 cards down to its current size of 368, doubling and quadrupling up on strong one drops (Champion of the Parish, Gravecrawler), and excising any...
