    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    More anecdotals: Jitte got manhandled again tonight. At one point opponent was at 15 life and played Oblivion Ring... targetting Wild Nacatl and ignoring the Jitte. Card gets beat a lot in my cube.

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

    I don't know how you guys feel about this subforum, but I'd just like to note that, statistically speaking, discussion of custom cards has gone way up in volume since we implemented the new subforum. I know it's not perfect, but I think if gives you guys more room to grow.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Maybe somebody else take up this torch? It's an interesting concept though, my writing was most well-received when I was inflammatory and railing against traditional cube design. I don't really feel like beating that same drum week after week, but I know that I'm dealing with a more niche...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    Uh, well, aside from it being a pissing match: I don't think they're bad cards, they just aren't the strictly power-maximized cards for that slot. I really don't think you could make the same case. All I can say is that, when testing, it's been really fun to play with Pridemate, and his...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I don't think it's unfun, so much as there's potential to Level 2 play (and beyond) if people are aware of the possibility, and if the possibility is actually worth considering. If the combat tricks are so rare that your best line is to pretend they don't exist, then you might not be presenting...

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Plan B is hard-casting 7-drops on Turn 9? I hope I'm never in need of a morning-after pill.

    Also have you considered that new BGN 5-color Chromanticore thingy?

    Dreamscape seems kind of poop.

    Is that not too many finishers?

    I kind of hate playing Magic on a computer. The best part of Magic is asking things like "Is Thrun a Human" while Champion of the Parish is on the table. Somehow I'm drunk at 4:00 in the afternoon.

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I also find paralleling Solemn Offering and Swift Justice with MODO Storm to be fairly outrageous. Both of these cards are fully playable in a wide variety of decks, while additionally providing synergy withing the lifegain strategies. I think it's perfectly valid to run slightly suboptimal...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    Serra Ascendant is super super poisonous and cannot work outside a dedicated Lifegain shell, versus Pridemate, who is very effective with high densities of incidental lifegain. Problem with Suture Priest is an already high saturation of 2-drops in the archetype.

    Can you make it a may trigger?

    General Squadron Build-Arounds

    What if instead of Opposition the OP had: Living Death Living Death Living Death The point was less to focus on that card (I wrote it immediately before sleeping) and more about me being stupid.
