    Article Take It

    WHAT A TEASE No, but really, this is actually fascinating. I'd assumed it was the other way around in most sets, that creatures generally had more power than toughness, but apparently that's not the case. Maybe the disparities aren't actually all that pronounced in practice, because the...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Maybe I could just double up on Loam? It's kind of a fun card when it gets going, and there aren't any Strip Mine shenanigans to worry about here. There would still need to be some sorta payoff for actually getting a Loam engine chugging along, though. What are we thinking - ways to pitch lands...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    I was actually just thinking about that last night. Do I have to put on a Sharks jersey?

    Article Primeval Stronghold (Playsession Report)

    Don't sell yourself short. It looks like you had some hot shit going on there yourself. Jason recapped your games and tells me you pulled off some insane plays, including killing him from 10 life with some sweet sacrifice tricks when he thought he'd stabilized behind a Grave Titan! For the...

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    If it really comes down to playgroup protests, you can always do what Jason and I do: secretly cut the offending cards, and replace them with the cards you want to experiment with. Since it doesn't sound like you get the full 8-man table, you can always shrug and say that Grave Titan must've...

    Entwine? Only if the additional mana isn't too rough.

    Wait, we're streaming now? I thought we were podcasting! I'm so confused. Also I still don't know when I'm free yet, but I'll email you.

    General What did you buy for your cube today?

    Calvin to the rescue! This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I run just about every single cube change by Calvin first. No joke.

    General What did you buy for your cube today?

    My plans exactly. Chris, I.. I wish I could tell you, but I still don't really know how the dredge archetype works in cube. *runs away in shame*

    405 Mostly Modern Cube

    Upcoming rant warning: This is largely my problem with the entire Titan cycle in a Modern cube environment. They are so good at what they do for a paltry sum of six mana, that they invalidate whole swaths of other interesting cards at those mana costs and above. In Vintage & Legacy cubes, this...

    General What did you buy for your cube today?

    Great topic! I just put in an order from CFB myself. Can you believe they were out of Firefist Striker...? Grrrr, of all the cards not to have in stock... Greater Gargadon - doubling up Dakmor Salvage - utility land draft? or just bad? Worm Harvest x2 - stash in reserve, in case I ever try to...

    Article ChannelFireball: Set Cubes

    I took it to mean that the ratio of cards within a rarity opened across First Big Set : Second Small Set: Third Small Set is roughly analogous to the ratio of commons / uncommons / rares opened within a set itself.

    Article ChannelFireball: Set Cubes

    Not to go overboard on the praise, but I thought the article was stellar. These kind of recurring questions about common / uncommon / rare ratios pop up over and over again on various forums, so I hope this article gets linked as an answer for years to come. I know you hate writing beginner...

    [360][Modern] - Stubob's Cube

    Nice! Would you be doubling up on something like shocklands, or finding a new cycle of duals to add? Either way, that seems like a great replacement for Vivids, which really only benefit durdly decks that splash too many colours. Speaking for myself only, I think it's a little dangerous to...
