    Card/Deck White Aggro

    I cut Forked Bolt and Arc Trail recently to make it less easy to hose early beaters. Should I maybe also get rid of Arc Lightning too? I cackle gleefully when I cast these cards and get easy 2 or 3-for-1's every time, but then I realised this is not really a good thing. After drafting some kind...

    Card/Deck White Aggro

    I'm currently looking at making some big changes to my cube. You've all finally convinced me to break singleton and try out the recursive black aggro/zombie shenanigans archetype. That's all pretty well documented, so it shouldn't be too hard. But I also want to make the white "make cheap guys...

    Any of you guys partake in some casual tvtropes? I'm studying for an exam these days, so I've found myself with just tabs and tabs and tabs lining up in my browser. What a wonderful website.

    Card/Deck SCD -- Fire Covenant

    .........really? I am torn on this one, cuz I'll believe anything. But not that. Almost.

    Card/Deck SCD -- Fire Covenant

    It sucks when you play genesis wave for 5.5, flip 5 cards, rip the next one in half, and it costs 6. That never happened, but maybe one day when we iron man the cube we can try it.

    Card/Deck SCD -- Fire Covenant

    You could try the half lives. I run City of Ass, and now and then the half mana can be quite interesting. Then again, there are a couple ways to make it matter in my cube. It can always happen that you return Fire Covenant and make two half life payments. Most of the time, though, City of Ass...

    General Cubing at big events

    I brought mine to GP London a little while ago and had no problems. Then again, I didn't play in the event, I just watched my friends and eventually cubed. It was with me the whole time. Maybe I'm naive (read: I'm naive), but I don't really see how it can get snatched if you don't leave it lying...

    Sets [MCD] Theros previews

    Wow, the set looks really cool. I thought m14 was a massive letdown, so I'm pretty happy to see something intriguing. The flavour looks sweet. ("the flavour looks sweet", how cool is that)

    Yeah, I just cut Mirari's Wake :C It was always fantastic when it hit the table, but seriously, who wants to draft a 5 drop that doesn't do much until you untap. It doesn't do anything for what I'm trying to do in GW either.

    Eldrazi Domain Cube

    This looks amazing! I have to come to Antwerp to draft two cubes now. Both your cubes are 360 cards. Why? Maybe this is a discussion I missed somewhere. I've always had my cube larger so that you couldn't guarantee the cards you would see each draft. I'm trying to downsize at the moment to make...

    Card/Deck Green Aggro

    What do people think of Strombnid? I remember it being amazing once, then it never really got played again :/

    Card/Deck Green Aggro

    I cut huntmaster from my cube. It's really good, but it's really good against aggro and it doesn't really help any archetypes I want to push. I might put it back in my that I'm trying to make a populate theme work.

    Whelp, here's something about hitchhiking: http://douglasmaguire.tumblr.com/private/58193866924/tumblr_mrhv4oNNMa1roctp5. I just stuck it on my tumblr as private, so let me know if the link doesn't work. I have never posted anything on my tumblr. I changed a couple names to protect the innocent...

    I need to read more Vonnegut. I read Slaughterhouse 5 and enjoyed it, but I didn't see what was so special about it. What did I miss?

    Grr, I'm writing something, but somehow I got caught up in telling last year's hitch hiking adventure and there is just way too much to wrote something reasonably lengthed.... No idea when I'll have this done. Hunter S. Thompson always impresses me for writing about complete madness with...

    Then I shall put something on paper. I gotta think about what though. And first I need to learn some general relativity. *salutes*

    Hi all! Just came back from like 26 days of hitch hiking around the baltic sea. I'm completely out of the loop here, but it's nice to see all your lovely faces once again :) I dunno if any of you guys have hitch hiked, but if you're looking for adventure, that's the way. I'll write a totally...

    Well what I'm looking forward to in the Wii U game is some cool asymmetric game types. It would just be casual stuff.

    I know, I used to protest for Melee for a long time, but Brawl is what we have. All we do is run around hitting each other and button mashing with little skill or care, so Brawl is fine. Shit blows up all the time.
