This is a little pie in the sky though. Like, there were people who thought Super Smash Bros. Brawl was terrible, and tried to "take it over" with their own mod that fixes a lot of the dumb stuff in the game, but it's so hard to gain traction for a non-official product. Instead everybody just...

I think that if you were really building cards from scratch that things would look a lot different. Cube-level tribal cards could be much better designed. Storm is a cool mechanic that would be much more fun in draft if the cards gave you good value at, say, Storm count = 2. That solves a lot of...

Yeah, brewing in Modern looks fun, but it also looks like something that would be impossible to do without being a MODO player.

Yeah, but people aren't required to spend X amount in "equipment" from the hosting company per year to stay competitive in chess or Scrabble.

Many competitive things for "youth" audiences suffer from this. At MLG events almost everybody was better off financially if they chose to be a lowly judge manning the booth (free flight, room, food, a couple hundred dollars to boot) rather than actually compete for prizes.

The problem with the custom cube project is that most of the cards seemed absurdly complicated and inelegant. It looked like it would be a massive headache to play.

Yeah, managing the playgroup is always a tough one. I know my group has been exceptionally accepting of out of the box ideas, and I feel pretty free to tinker knowing that the players will judge ideas by their merit rather than based on some inherent prejudices. But I imagine the people I play...

Well, this is a little bit of what I meant. Those creatures are very powerful, particularly if you are tutoring them up reliably. I could imagine this sort of archetype becoming very powerful. I don't know if you're only intending on adding Lin Sivvi, or if you had other Rebel fetchers in mind...

In case you weren't aware (which it sounds like you are) Andy Cooperfauss' cube runs Rebels, but he has manually chosen specific creatures to have a "Rebel" creature type. He wrote an article about it here: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/3-putting-white-back-on-the-map/ I will say...

Hmm, that's a little sad to hear. :(

Yeah, but there's a lot of Magic culture I don't agree with. In a tournament last weekend I played an RG deck where my opponent cast Devil's Play for 2 against my 3/3 Flinthoof Boar and I let him take it back. I don't think that would be the most common Magic community line there. Opponent would...

I also wondered why nobody played Ajani in Modern for a long time, then all of a sudden the community woke up and decided to play Ajani. I don't know if it's for a specific metagame reason or if people are just really hivemindey.

Elspeth + Geist feels too good not to try. It'll be at least 6 weeks before I can run a Modern list right now, at the moment I'm hibernating. I wish I had a MODO collection, then I could make fun constructed content.

Did you misspell the title on purpose? Were you being super meta?
