    The OkCupid Experience

    Yeah, we're trying to figure out the best way to organize it. The problem is that I currently have no interest in creating my own Magic content right now. I'm not sure the best way to organize the front page yet. The dating articles actually do drive in a fair amount of traffic, but it's people...

    Ryans Mono One Drop Cube

    I would be interested in seeing a gameplay report from a 1-drop cube. Like, a turn-by-turn breakdown of the games. Do people just dump their hands and enter top-deck mode quickly? Is Death's Shadow a total house? How much interaction is there? Do you feel that 20 is still an appropriate starting...

    General Context Matters

    Staff of Nin Elbrus, the Binding Blade Context: Hannes' lower power artifact cube. Tinker was a good toolbox card. Last time I saw it used, the player Tinkered up Elbrus and flipped it that turn. Then end of turn his opponent played this: It was astounding.

    MMA-style Cube

    I don't have much to contribute yet ,but the ideas here aren't so different from stuff that went into the Eldrazi Domain cube. Balancing color representation is indeed a difficult challenge.

    I wonder if most decks aren't just better off jamming Woolly Thoctar.

    Alright, I'll have Eric toss it up.

    General Context Matters

    I like your Entomb example. I never included it in my cube until I removed the Reanimation package. Similarly, Tinker can be a fun, skillful and fair card in the right setting. Awareness of these contexts allows you to do some really subtle tweaks as well. I wanted to improve blue-based...

    If CML ever met a libertarian librarian I'm pretty sure he'd be convicted of murder within minutes.

    It doesn't have to be reviews. We're a small site, we can run whatever. I'll talk to Eric to see what we can do about splitting things in a reasonable way.

    Yeah, I was thinking of maybe making a sister site. RiptideReviews or some shit like that. I'm open to suggestions.

    General Cube Comprises

    "Restrictions breed creativity" is the most misused phrase of the entire Magic community. It's like when zealots blindly twist some quote to support their argument even if the original text in context was either a) irrelevant to that topic or b) directly refuted it. Further, what is always...

    "If only there were protein supplements for your personality." Best insult I've read in a while.
