    Black, at least in my cube, will be the easiest to get Devotion online for, mainly because its permanents never go away. Bloodghast Bloodghast Gravecrawler Gravecrawler Gravecrawler Gravecrawler Geralf's Messenger

    Holy fuck, Hero's Downfall is $11? Why are they printing staple removal at rare?

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    Being able to find 187s is pretty critical to getting the Pod deck to work, so I'm a little hesitant there. I'm leaning Duress at the moment.

    Oh, found one of the Planeswalkers in my other cube. Doh!

    I have become the most disorganized Magic card owner ever. Somehow I can't find two planeswalkers, and stumbled upon a box I didn't know I forgot I had with like, Primeval Titan, Celestial Colonnade, Vendilion Clique and other random crap. When James was over I just found an envelope of unopened...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I think I am going to do Triple Pridemate at 360 to start, as I tend to overpush in the beginning to see if it works and then scale it back if needed. This is actually a Sirlin design technique. Effectively, your playtesters need to be sold on the idea, and if they are of the impression that...

    I'm kind of happy with the MODO cube being terrible, because I never feel the urge to spend money on it.

    Konge's Cube

    I ran Night's Whisper for a long time, and it was fine, albeit unexciting. It was also pretty unnecessary, design wise. I never felt like it was doing anything for my environment.

    The Music Thread

    Context required. For some reason this reminds me of a story. In seventh grade, my friend wrote a paper called "Why the Beatles are the Best". The paper had a dedication page, which read: "This paper is dedicated to Nirvana, because they are they best." Way to undermine your own thesis there...

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    Note that 2/1's for :1: are actually much more effective in cube than in normal draft, due to speed and aggro support. Burnished Hart looks super bad and there's not a super compelling reason why it can't just be a 3/3, other than the fact that Wizards intentionally doesn't push certain cards.

    Card/Deck Tezzeret (either one) and making them work in cube

    Well, part of the drawback (like Gaea's Cradle) is that sometimes it taps for :0:. I think this question is also a function of how brown your decks can be. Also note that, powering out Lodestone Golem is what the card is doing in Vintage, so you've kind of chosen one of the most broken...
