Giant in the Playground. I made an account back in 2010, and I still bum around their roleplaying section from time to time. Mostly because it's a bit of a trainwreck, if I'm going to be honest...

I'm on another forum where the mods would yell at you for even suggesting C. It makes conversations awkward.

I seem to recall that someone on this forum built a "beginner" cube with no tokens and no counters. I can't remember who, though.

Replace the basic land box with ABUR duals and fetchlands. Why do anything half way?

Kor Skyfisher + Oketra's Monument + Earthcraft is infinite creatures + infinite mana, so maybe avoid putting those cards together in a cube unless you've got ways to handle someone theoretically going off on T3? If we're looking at three colors, though, I think that Earthcraft Zombies could be...

The first deck I ever got was the original Rakdos pre-con. And now, my preference is pretty much just Temur-and-subsets-thereof. Screw Orzhov, all my homies hate Orzhov.

Why just run the best Mox? Flummoxed Cyclops

@Erik Twice (oh wait, we have an Erik here? Huh.) The reason why those shirtless dudes don't come off as being sexualized comes down to a difference in social expectations for men and women in Western cultures. Long story short: the Bog Standard Male Power Fantasy includes being sexy, because...

Yeah, she's looking pretty good. And Goon #2 clearly won the Armor Lottery. ... I was going with an implicit "assuming that you don't let me add or remove things" for the "armor I prefer". If I can switch stuff around... Middle Lady's armor, a shield, and a helmet (holy fuck people wear...

The problem with Middle Lady is that, in the event that someone tried to stab her, her armor would guide said stab right into her sternum (or her throat, depending). The decision that she made as a LARPer/re-enactor is pretty nonsensical from a "I would like to minimize my chances of dying as...

To be fair, fantasy artwork has a bad tendency of going "heroic people don't wear helmets, yeah?", which comes straight from Hollywood. Seriously, if you hired a big-name actor, the last thing you want to do is cover up their face. I do find the pictures that you picked kinda funny, @sigh. The...

The only reason I didn't bring up the kitties is that a lot of people around these parts don't do planeswalkers. Frondland Felidar is also pretty cute, especially since it turns into "tap two creatures: tap target creature" once the Rite + Vigilance engine gets online. That gives you plenty of...

I think that there's an alternate direction to take this: Keensight Mentor Tenth-District Veteran Thraben Watcher Obviously, they're at different power level, but the idea is simple. If you attack with Tenth District Mentor with a Rite out, you can tap it to cast a combat trick or sneaky bit...

Does anyone here like Waker of Waves ? EDIT: I'm thinking that it could be good with some reanimation.

That's a pretty solid way of doing it. I was half-hoping that one of the pairings was going to be Skophos Maze-Warden Labyrinth of Skophos But you're probably not that low power...

How do you decide which lands go with which cards? Do you just squadron 3-color cards with a fixing land, or do you go deeper than that?

I... I actually kinda like Augusta, Dean of Order. There's so much jank that she can help you pull. While I'm generally not a fan of DFCs, one that I really love the play patterns for is Torrent Sculptor Flamethrower Sonata You use the backside to loot + remove stuff in the early game, then...

Oh, that makes sense. I was staring at the card, trying to figure out what I was missing. :p

Are you sure about that? The only limit on activating Sungold Sentinel's activated ability is "do you have Coven?" You can totally pay 1W to tell a removal spell to GTFO.

Uyo, Silent Prophet Why keep lands on the battlefield? The spell you're copying could be anything — even a ramp spell to get out more lands! (Harrow + Uyo potentially puts every basic land in your deck into your hand.)
