    Yeah, I really wanted Haakon but it was in his pool. My pool had the Gifts Ungiven and a Gravecrawler so I really wanted that Haakon! (and nameless inversion of course)

    Article ChannelFireball: Microsealed

    I've been playing a few microsealeds and they've been fun. We've been using Evolved Wilds but not the other, and we've kept all the lands in the pool. You don't retire fetches and duals and whatnot, but you do retire manlands and things. Man, I built the nuttiest Birthing Pod/flicker deck for...

    Today I pumped my Epochrasite with Nameless Inversion and killed my opponent from 7.

    Article ChannelFireball: Ghost of Cubing Future

    I'm not so sure about the power - complexity/fun correlation. I played my friend's peasant cube the other day and it was fantastic. I still think it's the most fun cube I've played (Could use a few more drafts with yours and/or better memory to have more confidence in my opinion). As far as I...

    It's really pretty.

    Card/Deck Counterspells

    The key thing is either that it flies or that it can recur. A bit of both, I suppose.

    Card/Deck [MCD] Equipment

    How could we tweak this cycle to remove the protection abilities and make the cards good? Make them cost 2? I kinda love their effects, but I really hate protection from colors. I took the swords out because sometimes you played the XY sword against the XY deck and nothing really happened except...

    General The stick rule

    I've heard this a few times, it's a good idea. I was thinking it wouldn't really help me, since I draft so seldom. The statistics wouldn't prove any kind of consistency. That said, I definitely take note of the cards I see going late and it changes my opinion of them, so I might as well get all...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I like Tithe Drinker more than Gerrard's Verdict, but I don't like Obzedat, he's too good.

    Could help on my quest to define some kind of self-mill archetype.

    I built a Upheaval Cackling Counterpart Birthing Pod deck the other night and it was pretty neat. I closed one game out with Upheaval -> Primeval Titan and I closed another by making two copies of Primeval Titan with Cackling Counterpart. The one Birthing Pod added a little bit of value, letting...

    A little bit. It didn't seem worth it at 4 mana. Does it grow big enough?

    break-the-rules cube

    I want Astral Slide to work somewhere! I was thinking I could replace all my counterspells with Miscalculation but even then it's not amazing that sounds awful. Custom cards sounds like the way to go.

    It seems unusual, but I am happy with it. I find signatures really clog everything up, but at least it's a cool way to be expressive. God knows how hard it is to be expressive on a forum, what with using only words and images and links and embedded videos and an avatar.

    Card/Deck Counterspells

    nobody's mentioned Draining Whelk, that's a great card. It turns Cackling Counterpart into Forbid (which is a great card). I don't like Rewind at all, I've never seen anyone get value out of it though I have heard tell of such doings. I like Dissolve. I just cut it because I think I have enough...

    Card/Deck [MCD] Equipment

    I wish there was a good living weapon that wasn't so busted as Batterskull. It seems like fun to search up creatures with Stoneforge Mystic but Butterskall is too powerful for my cube. It doesn't seem worth including just to fetch Bonesplitter or Adventuring Gear, though maybe it's fine getting...

    Actually there's an option to see signatures, look in preferences. Mine is unticked so maybe that's the default.

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    I would say One With Nothing is just about perfectly effective at what it does.
