    General Mental Magic

    Is this like the Scrabble problem, where you have to do a bunch of rote memorization to be any good at the game?

    Card/Deck Life from the Loam

    I've already soft-banned someone for being a nitpicky rules lawyer at my cube events. (I hope he doesn't come on here and read this. If he does... ummmm. HI!)

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    As maybe the biggest fan of Volcanic Hammer in these here parts, I heartily endorse these changes. And ayup - organizing by goals than by cost or colour makes a lot of sense. Really like that custom land design!

    Rob's unpowered cube - with primer

    Yeah, as Theros limited has proven, 1/1 deathtouch guys can be mighty annoying. Without having tested Ophiomancer for myself, I think Chris has a valid concern about this indestructible 1/1 deathtouch snake stonewalling the erstwhile efforts of your everyday aggro deck. I'm probably still gonna...

    GBS

    Yeah, I think you can snag one for like $10 / year. Blogspot should have some automatic way to hook up your blog to your domain. If you want something that looks more like an 'actual website', but is still just secretly a blog underneath, you can try setting something up over on wordpress.com...

    Poll: Do you pimp your cube?

    From the results of the poll so far, I'm surprised how many people foil out their cubes - nearly 50%. I wonder if this is why people get so personally offended when you suggest that their Favourite Cards X and Y are game-ruining horse manure.

    Hmmm. That might be a bit.. odd. I still think a sticky is the way to go. It'll blend into the background soon enough for us regulars, but newcomers will see it and and hopefully remember to go there when they need help.

    anotak's cube (budget-ish)

    For what it's worth, I cut Mana Leak a while back, and run four Rune Snags now in its place. It's not as horrible as it sounds.

    GBS

    I think we're gonna go ahead and try this out, since 90% of our forum activity seems to be on this thread, which has long outgrown its original intended purpose. Not everything needs to be in GBS; now you can feel free to make Specific BS threads!

    anotak's cube (budget-ish)

    That was one hell of a post, CML. You touched on like four things that I'd been ruminating on myself recently and struggling with. At the risk of sidetracking anotak's cube thread here, could you expound on this point a little bit? Just over the weekend, I was thinking to myself about how bad...

    There's always the old-fashioned option of just making a sticky post, explaining the details there.

    anotak's cube (budget-ish)

    Pretty much this. Sometimes when people whine about a card or archetype being either too weak or too strong, they're right on the money. But other times they're just hitting a symptom of a larger problem. I like your solution of forcing the archetype to put yourself in those shoes and see with...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    I remember picking up a playset of Lieges, convinced that it was the bee's knees, while assuming that Boggart Ram-Gang was worthless.

    Alex Blanton's Cube

    If you're looking to replace your black removal spells with cards that do other things, you could substitute them for more targeted discard (Thoughtseize, Cabal Therapy), symmetrical sacrifice effects (Smallpox), or card draw (Night's Whisper, Phyrexian Arena). There's also Bitterblossom, which...
