    General Making Blue Do Things

    For 2-drops there's Looter il-Kor, which is good. I have also had Azure Mage and Jushi Apprentice, but neither were ever good enough. I like them both, but I had to cut cards and I realised I pretty much never drew cards with Azure Mage, even though i drafted it all the time.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Ok chaps, how about this one? Tooth and Nail I just traded for one. It seems like something to push people into ramp. As far as I know there's no two card combos to fetch, but there still is Craterhoof Behemoth.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    I like the art but seven mana is too much, unless making things snow has more applications.

    Actually that sounds awesome!

    General CBS

    We should get an irc thingumy (jargon jargon I have never used irc what a scrub) and draft together. I don't want to draft the modo cube, but if I do I want t draft with some of you folks. I'm definitely up for more! But I have to say, the one thing I didn't like about the other one I watched...

    General The Constructed thread

    Well I think we had a big "how do we make blue attacking decks" discussion, probably mixed in the with the Delver thread. UW tempo used to be the best deck in my cube, hands down, but I haven't seen it in a while and I'm wondering why.

    General The Constructed thread

    I posted the "getting angry at Travis after too much coffee" post a while back and that seems to have kicked off some complaining. I'd just like to clarify that I LOVE the decks he builds/plays but he makes a lot of mistakes and it's frustrating to watch. He admits it himself. I thought the...

    Card/Deck Cleric Tribal

    Order of Whiteclay looks like a good card. Anybody tried it?

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    I like auras and I run these: Gift of Orzhova, Angelic Destiny, Bonds of Faith, Dagon Mantle, Griffin Guide and Rancor. I am really considering Boon Satyr and Undying Rage. Most of this is for Fencing Ace. edit: and heroic. I run Anax and Cymede.

    The Book Thread

    ...In Las Vegas? or.... hmm I thought Nietzsche had a book called "Fear and Loathing" but I can't seem to confirm that. I have read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and I think I definitely need to read it again. I've been working through Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone and I adore Hunter S...

    Fresh Meat

    I came here because I am obsessed with cube and I don't really care about anything else in magic. I eat up any cube articles, so when Jason started the google group I jumped on it. I stayed for the spreadsheets because I like you people :)

    The Book Thread

    I really want to read a bunch of adventure/travel books before I hitchhike massively and try to write one. So far I've read "On the Road" and about a third of "The Great Railway Bazaar". I want to read "Into the Wild" and I should probably read "The Hobbit" again. I just started Orwell's "Down...

    After last night my house is banned from poo.com. Good.

    Righto, I like three of these ideas: Green Sun's Zenith, Scuttlemutt and Tinker. I have a problem with green right now. I am a bad player and I don't really how to midrange, I tend to draft handcore control (like the 4-creature deck I drafted in Antwerp) or hardcore aggro. Supporting decks...

    General Cube supplies (sleeves, storage etc.)

    I have a cool black wooden box I bought in a thrift shop. The inside is felt and it fits the cube perfectly. Also it's a black box, so even though I don't understand how it works I know that it will tell me why the plane crashed every time under the right preconditions.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Oh my god you guys make me want to run Haakon. I came to this thread to collect opinions on this card: Upheaval I don't run a glut of artifact mana cards. I run the four green signets, Felwar Stone, Chromatic Lantern, and Coalition Relic alongside ramp creatures and green spells. Will this card...

    Card/Deck Cleric Tribal

    Actually these cards look really cool. What's good about Cabal Archon and Rotlung Whatever is they have crossover to human and zombie tribal. Starlit Sanctum looks really cool. The way these synergies are looking I don't think Edgewalker is part of the plan yet. It doesn't look to me like the...

    Ryan's Peasant Cube

    I got destroyed by Centaur Glade in my friend's peasant cube the other day. That card is badonkalicious. I was playing control and I was almost managing to race the centaurs, but I was blowing removal spells and he could just outcard me/not even bother to outcard me and kill me with centaurs. In...

    End of Year Awards

    Today I saw some people who I almost never see, a bunch of magic players who only come along to the end of term drafts. They'd read my Notes from the Road articles and the running gag was that I'm a massive anti-semite. (I'm not. Only slightly (joke))

    I'm drunk and barely made it home from the end-of-term draft. I went flying over the handle bars at least once.
