I actually don't think it'd be that "hella big" in my cube. Rough numbers here: 79 nonbasics per draft (47 in the main cube 32 (8x4) from the utility land draft) Assuming all of those get played, and 17 card decks, that means you're looking at about 7 basic lands per deck, or about 41% of the...

Flip Garruk is sweet, especially when it just, like, eats a test subject.

Combine with Scuttlemutt to hit all targets. :)

I don't know if the Modern analogs really can be made as arguments. Wizards bans to achieve a desired metagame, and from that perspective I don't know that a banning can be considered to be "valid" or "invalid". I guess if you had some measurable metric like "format diversity", one could argue...

Use MODO's "sort by cost" feature during drafting. :)

Well, I wasn't right, but I won't say I'm not happy.

CML, why do your cube decks always have the ugliest curves? If they were a girl, they'd only post Myspace-angled headshots on their OkCupid profile.

Like, what's the end game here? If everybody is like "you're right CML, there's not much money in playing Magic 'professionally'", do you "win"? I just don't know why the "there's no money in Magic" schtick has to be hammered so hard all the time.

I'm sure there's a crack here about libertarianism to be made, but do you ever consider that you focus way too much on the profitability of Magic as a hobby? I don't really understand the crusade. Maybe people weight attention / fame / liberty above the financial expected value, maybe their...

I dunno, I mean, Magic is a hobby, let people enjoy talking themselves into the merits of their bad decks right? Then let the Pro Tour show what's actually worthwhile. I know scrubs are scrubs, but their existence doesn't have any particularly negative impact on me. Just beat them and move on...

Ship it

If you're going to pay 6 mana to get a 1/4 and a conditional regrowth, why not just, you know, play good cards instead?

Serendib is fine, but there are other 3/4's for three that are also quite playable and do interesting things. They've been great in my cube, despite some people around here poo-pooing them.

Isn't Spellstutter just like, terrible in cube?

We had a long discussion of removal and stuff in Google Groups, but I am soundly of the mind that "high strength aggro, high removal density" is good for the interactivity and decision density of your environment. Also, even unconditional removal involves choices, vis a vis "what do I point this...

Somebody write a goddamn multi-Loam article.

I did my first stand-up comedy show tonight and didn't bomb. So that was fun!

I don't know if you count it, but this guy is pretty boss: Boon Satyr
