How do you want to enter a cube list into a computer? BY HAMMERING MY FACE INTO THE KEYBOARD AND YELLING OUT CARD NAMES (WHILE SHAKING A CAN OF WHIPPED CREAM)

Chris, you make a good point about removal density. I actually carefully track anything that could be construed as removal, for the purposes of tallying it up, much like you. I don't file counterspells under spot removal - I've got a separate tally for that - but Garruk Relentless certainly fits...

I'm frankly impressed that you're able to type anything of merit at all from your phone. When I need to write out anything on my phone more than two sentences, my blood pressure starts rising and I get that little nervous tick from the corner of my mouth. I wouldn't even dream of responding to a...

I found this to be true for my cube as well. It might be that my cube is bit slower than Jason's, but Tectonic Edge is the perfect foil here for all of the additional powerful effects people can now run without using up spell slots. It was never quite worth a pick in the main cube, but in the...

I must see this cube. I love the idea of an Innistrad inspired Modern cube with a self-mill theme in BUG; that's precisely the theme that I want to graft onto my current list. If you don't mind sharing, please post up your list in a new thread!

Yeah, we certainly aren't averse to having decks with Ancestral Vision and Remand take the whole thing down. For a long time, my cube was in a place where going bigger than the next guy was arguably the optimal strategy, and six and seven mana spells like Grave Titan, Wurmcoil Engine...

I think this is a more of a function of different cube environments than anything else. I can tell you that Lingering Souls is well over the curve in my cube, which is pretty far removed from the power maximization ethos. When Rb aggro decks rely on a whole suite of 1/1 and 2/1 beaters, a card...

Yeah, we've dabbled a bit with both Werewolf and Saboteur. Those games get intense. My favourite has to be the people who, when they're assigned to be the "villain", just can't lie to save their life. Dumb bad guys are the best. We'd love to have you at my next cube event. See if you can drag...

Jason and I are backing off a bit on our original stringent "No Signatures Allowed" policy. We're thinking that, when used in moderation, signatures can add a bit of personality, and perhaps help readers to see the person behind the posts. No images for the time being, but URLs are fair game. So...

I like your suggestion. But in case not everyone thinks that :D should be the universal symbol for green: :w::u::b::r::g: They're in the smiley menu. If you don't feel like moving your hand all the way over to your mouse, you can use: :w: :u: :b: :r: :g:

Hey lebenski, I'm a little late to the party here (serious, a crap ton of posts today!), but I wanted to issue a big, warm welcome to you. Most of us on this forum have been following your site and your progress with great interest, particularly given the frequent pace of your updates. Even at...

Yep, I'll put that on my to-do list. There's already a WordPress plugin for mana symbols, so I hopefully I can adapt that for this forum software.

This seems insane. I love the idea. For monocolor cubes, I'd assumed that only it was only possible to do with blue, but now that I think about it, white can pretty much do it all, too. How does signalling work? You can cast pretty much anything, so.. is it just a matter of picking an...

Woooo! Sweet article. Long-awaited, and does not disappoint! It's weird, because in pack 1, I swear that mono-red is open (Goblin Guide pick 5 or something, red cards flowing throughout). But then four drafters on your right are in red? Strange. I think the report also nicely illustrates how...

I'm struggling with Cubetutor myself, for pretty much the exact same reasons. Although it supports multiples, you have to add the cards one by one after the fact, because it eats them during the initial upload. The cube editor itself is a bit of a pain to use at the moment, as unlike with...

You're on the front page!

I dunno, I think it's a clean design. I mean, who hasn't heard of a blue & white 7/8 legendary dwarf that uses his double hammers and layers of plate armor to mess with mana costs on the stack?

Oh man. We had a big long thread about this on the old Google Groups before we migrated over here. Nearly all of those cards you've listed are ones that I myself have identified as being "not good for cube" for one reason or another, and removed in the last two or three months. Some are just...

If you're a new member, or someone who's recently joined and haven't posted much (or at all), please feel free to drop in here and say hi. I know some people are more comfortable sitting back and soaking in the discussion, rather than actively jumping into debates, and that's ok. But I figure we...

Good listen, as always. I don't think Andy gives Jason enough credit for the innovations he's made to the black recursive aggro archetype. Andy's running 3x Gravecrawler and 2x Bloodghast, for crying out loud. I like their classification of the archetype as aggro-combo. For as much as cube...
