Also I'm pretty sure running 3 pods in your deck is always preferable to 4.

pro tip: take a pic of your creature curve

I've only played him in sanctioned play once, where I crushed him 2 - 0 in a "still had all these fashion". But I don't think he has ever gone worse than 2 - 1 in our drafts. Our cube results correlate with skill level to a startling degree.

One of my cube regulars just qualified for the Pro Tour. I'm going to go ahead and claim about 65% credit for it.

As much as I love the Simic cards, I like my gold cards in cube to be doing a bit more splashy things.

To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,

Failing to find is always one of the more hilarious parts of a cube evening. I consider this a feature, not a bug.

In an alternate universe there is a world where the only redeeming quality of Bow of Nylea is that it legend rules other Bows of Nylea off the table. Sadly we don't live in that world.

I hate the card so much that were I a famous Magic figurehead, people would send me copies of the card to sign. But unlike Rosewater, I wouldn't sign them and send them back. I'd just dump them into an industrial shredder, then take the remains and use them to line the bottom of my hamster cage...

Mark Rosewater : Hornet Sting :: Jason Waddell : _______ a) taxation without representation b) restrictions breed creativity c) seeded grapes d) Bow of Nylea

In the field of data visualization, standard practice is to take some awful plot that was published in some publication and just lampoon the shit out of it by breaking down in great detail all the ways in which it is patently terrible. If I ever taught an MTG Card Design course my first slide...

Of the five mechanical attributes of the card (ignoring the ridiculousness of it being a Legendary Enchantment Artifact), only one seems remotely bow like. Maybe you could make a case for deathtouch being bow-like, buuuuut. I could have this card in my cube for a decade, and every time my...

Like, this requires two posts. There is nothing about this card that is intuitive from a mechanical or flavor perspective. If you went back in time and posted an image of this card to a custom card forum you would be laughed out of town.

Bow of Nylea looks like it was made by a bad random card generator. Bow of Nylea

Avenger was not great in my cube, but I'd be far more enthused about Boon Satyr.

I think 3/1 First Strike for 1R would be too OP.

I legitimately forgot that place existed.

Mr. Waddell looks like many things to many people. See: old Facebook logo.

I'll say that, perhaps those are things are ideas that CML 2011 had, but they don't really come through in the book. I don't see anything that points to saying that Americans work too much. Privacy and surveillance? I'm not really sure where there's a loss of innocence either.

Cycling lands from the Utility Land Draft are pretty great with Loam too. I think the key is having a critical mass of cards that you want in your deck anyways. I've also had good success using Loam in midrange decks to make sure I just never run out of land drops.
