    I will say, I spent like, the first 20 minutes of the movie trying to remember the lead actress' name. "Uh, oh shit, I know it's not Julia Roberts. What's the other one called... ugh... oh Sandra Bullock" "Wait, the While You Were Sleeping one or the Pretty Woman one? No, her mouth isn't...

    All of this actually sounds pretty awesome and memorable.

    I thought it was one of the most visually impressive movies ever, even if the plot was pretty straightforward and predictable. Fun way to spend an evening in my opinion.

    I hate everything you like

    Fighting games are so cool to watch when you know the egos at play. They're so goddamn mind-gamey and personal, like, when somebody wins, they didn't play abstractly play better, they beat some very specific chump. In shooters people play mostly with a disregard for their opponents. For this...

    Card/Deck Bonfire of the Damned

    Hmm... this is making me a little more tempted to push a Miracle subtheme. But isn't Reforge the Soul kind of, you know, awful? I've even cut Wheel of Fortune from my cube at this point.

    General What are the failings of the MTG cardpool?

    I love Oracle of Mul Daya but wish it were pushed just a weeee bit further. Cost 3? Some real P/T? The effect is neat, but oh so flimsy at 4 mana.

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

    If it's any consolation, were I to push green aggro in my cube I'd probably run multi Skyshroud Elite Skyshroud Elite

    I don't know if everybody would like it, but I have a 4-player draft format that lets you see an entire 360 cube: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-grid-drafting-and-more/

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    Interestingly, CML, mass pump is the main way to connect the tokens and double strike themes.

    General Giving White things to do

    Do any of you running Champions run extra blink effects as a way of pumping champions at instant speed? I kind of see the card as an optimistic Nacatl at best (eventually) that happens to be the world's worst top deck. For how much everyone was shitting on Delver as a 1/1 that can take a few...

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    Is mindslaver really that powerful of an effect in cube? For an ultimate on a 6-drop it seems awfully paltry.

    Eric Chan's Modern cube (405)

    I wonder where Figure of Destiny ranks in power level among the cube's one-drops. As my cube has increased in speed the card has gotten worse and worse.

    Double up on one-drops?

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    I realize I'm just hopping around threads poo-pooing things today, but I would not want to play black control if this was my finishing option. 6 mana for Shock Helix and then they ignore your PW and just attack you to death? Worst case scenario thinking, maybe, but this feels way underpowered.

    General Giving White things to do

    Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but playing a one-drop that needs help to become Isamaru feels like bad times. It's something I've never tried though, and I don't think I'm going to get an educated opinion here by doing anything short of flying to Toronto.

    He was bad even in the earliest iterations of my cube. I think Magic has passed him by in a big way.
