    Yeah, I've seen that bug before. I assume it's an issue with the version of the TinyMCE editor that the Xenforo forum software embeds. I've noticed that the forums over on xenforo.com don't exhibit this behaviour, so once we get around to that software upgrade, I'm hoping the problem resolves...

    anotak's cube (budget-ish)

    White control probably wants one more cheap sweeper (Hallowed Burial?), a handful of walls (of omen), maybe a touch of lifegain, and a big finisher or two (along the lines of a Sun Titan, Angel of Serenity, or new Elspeth). White aggro can be a tougher nut to crack. Equipment is usually the...

    Low Power, Core-set Cube

    This is interesting. My first two cubes, if you could even call them that, were actually M10 and M11 set cubes, with two of each common and one of each uncommon. They were a phenomenal teaching tool and a great way for players who weren't too familiar with the game to get some games in without...

    This thread is just about the most amusing thing ever. https://twitter.com/bmkibler/status/382571600257622016 I love how everyone is way more confused after the conversation than before. ...including me.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Yeah, that random pile o' cards (literally) forced Denix out of his comfort zone of midrangy value-packed durdle decks. I'm glad most people drafted a deck outside of their usual comfort zone last night, actually (welp, except for me, so I have no one but myself to blame for my 2-2 record)...

    Alex Blanton's Cube

    Soul Reap seems pretty interesting, if only because there are way too many "destroy target nonblack creature" spells in Magic's twenty year history already. Sorcery speed is a pretty punishing drawback, though, and I'm not sure the life loss rider is anywhere close to good enough to compensate...

    Alex Blanton's Cube

    Welcome to the forums, Alex! I really like your restraint in the four-drop sections across all the colours, and heck, on expensive cards in general. Providing more cheap and interesting early plays than interchangeable midrangy cards makes for more interactive games overall. The Titans are...

    At this point I feel like I know more about you than I'm comfortable with.

    I was already curious when I assumed you would be writing a parody review of the site from arm's length distance. Now that I realize you're an active, participating user, though, I must know about it all.

    Card/Deck Lands in Cube

    Ugh, don't. It's my fault. I need to bear down one of these evenings and get those buttons done.

    Dwayne's Cube - 450 unpowered

    Hey Dwayne, at a quick glance, this looks like a well-balanced, fairly fine-tuned cube already. You've got plentiful fixing, a reasonable but not egregious collection of powerful colourless cards, a sane mana curve, and a relatively restrained gold section. This looks like a cube with a lot of...

    Card/Deck Lands in Cube

    Yowza. Busted links are busted! Are you trying to show card images? Plateau is probably the tag you're looking for. (I'M SORRY I KNOW THERE SHOULD BE BUTTONS FOR THIS IT'S ON MY TO DO LIST I SWEAR)

    Sets [MCD] Theros previews

    Definitely with you on the Whip. Myself, I'm pretty excited about big Elspeth, the little piggy spell, Bow of Nylea, Steam Augury, and Tymaret. Oh, and Omenspeaker! Can't forget Omenspeaker.

    Rob had a really good idea of allowing mana symbols to be directly pastable from Gatherer, so that typing {2}{W}{W} would give you {2}{W}{W}. He spoke, and lo, it came to pass. {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} As before, they're still in the smilies menu.

    Ryan's 324 Combo Cube

    Yeah, I think we could all use a primer on how combo cubes work. I don't know that any of the regulars here have had exposure to this type of cube, which is probably why no one's been able to offer you any suggestions thus far. But if you could shed some light on what this is all about, by all...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I used to have Nicol Bolas in my cube, because I was a reasonable person and I thought that was a reasonable finisher with reasonable mana requirements. It took about three games of watching people cast Nicol Bolas only to immediately lose on the next turn to make me realize that he wasn't...
