    General Squadron Build-Arounds

    Yeah, the single copy of oppo is fine. The difference between this approach and the gravecrawler approach is better for some cards, worse for others. People won't play a single copy of squadron hawk, but they'll definitely play a single pod or a single gravecralwer. Maybe Kindle and co?

    General What websites do you use to order cards from?

    For local Toronto people: MTGIsland.com. Low prices, half decent selection, and not only is there a go pick it up option, there's a "fuck paying with paypall, show up with cash and we both get more" option if you're nice to the guy The business is different for Canadians. It took WAY too much...

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    I dunno man. Are there any flash 187s?

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Proably best to ground it something people might recognize: Andy Cooperfaus' Rebel Erratta and Undead Erratta (Zombies/Vampires ==> Zombivampires), and maybe touch lightly on Ali Antrazi's custom cube project. Where you go from there I'm down for the ride, but starting with that should give...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Also, for a spells matter idea: 1U 2/1 Instants and sorceries you cast cost U less super broke for constructed (goblin electromancer) but for cube?

    Ah okay. smash to smithereens still works, not that I'm a huge fan

    Card/Deck Artifact/Enchantment destruction

    This is where I get nervous too. Birthing pod is a fine card, but I still want people to be able to fight it. Eldrazi monument kinda has a similar feeling to it, mostly because it makes your creatures indestructible, so the ONLY way to fight it is with artifact hate. Jitte has it's own...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Well, unless that card has a mana cost (which it doesn't). they pod like tokens do too

    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    it's all cube dependant, and drafter dependent. I feel fine passing have tms, nervous passing jitte, and never pass origional elspeth. I can only assume y'all are different

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I think I'm going to take my cube down to 450 cards. I've found I'm doing less and less full 8 man drafts, and I've become increasingly frustrated with the inconsistency of the synergy based archetypes like gravecrawler, pod, and other less likely archetypes like blue tempo. I've had kinda a...

    General Inspiration: Environment and Card Design Ideas

    Sadly, of the (what, 4? 5?) people who post about custom cards, at least one (me) doesn't really give thought to sweet environment concerns, since I'm much more focused about hole filling balancing cards. you might have gotten responses from both people interested in environment design :P

    Card/Deck Artifact/Enchantment destruction

    Thus my objections :p I actually did post this question to the general masses a while back in the custom card thread, asking for similar suggustions (more Crushing Vines and less Dismantling Blow) but nothing really came of it, thus this thread. I do have a {2}{G} 2/1 naturalize in my cube...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    for the BG land, could we do a recurring nightmare variant, but at random? like {1}{B}{G}{T}, sacrifice a creature: Return a random creature from your graveyard to the battlefield? I figure the extra mana, the extra color, and the lack of control make up for nightmare being such a miserable...

    Cheers mate! Love to hear another voice about custom cards around here :D

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I feel that you might be preaching to the wrong guy, the deck does have sol ring and mind twist :P And it's horrible without those two cards (and maybe myr battlesphere)

    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    Clearly that cube didn't have enough searing blaze

    CML has had too many bad experiences of it being bricked by a 4/4 and slowly killing him Edit, for Clarity: FROM INNISTRAD DRAFT
