Kiki-Twin style combos Density of cheap removal

I don't know when we'll do another yet, but there will be more! Get your questions in, the spicier the better. P.S. this is open to all people, it can be something I've written about before, something tangential to cubing, whatever. So far I have: Powerful artifacts and the problem with...

Good question. We actually had a chat about this in our podcast thing this weekend: http://www.twitch.tv/riptidelab/c/2727125 Around the 49:00 mark we discuss various bombs, Swords in particular. The main takeaway is that in game design you should be very conscious of what your top end is...

Except for Eric.

Why 40 and not 60?

Didn't we decide live on air Saturday to cut that card?

Ooh, really interested in hearing your experiences with it! I learn so much every time we draft it, and another set of eyes and uh... brain cells is very welcome. I don't really do a full breakdown of every color combination in the introductory article (I just finished writing it last night...

It's not that I'm unwilling to double on Goblin Guide, but I don't find it very necessary. Also, depending on the pace of your attacking deck, you might not even want it. Goblin Guide anchors your balls-to-the-wall attacking decks, so I guess it depends on how much help you need in that...

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but Legacy has an extremely interactive graveyard: Snapcaster Mage Deathrite Shaman Tarmogoyf Grim Lavamancer Scavenging Ooze Nimble Mongoose I think it's the best implementation of graveyard interaction of any format.

I think part of the problem is that it's just such a slow card. Like CML says, spending 2-turns and 6-mana on 4 non-evasive guys is pretty suboptimal. But hey, try it out, maybe it plays better than I think.

No problem. I didn't get to really see them in action, but the tutors didn't seem all that spectacular. And I do like some Pyro Ascension.

Hmmm.. Burning-Tree is a pretty big part of enabling certain cards, i.e. Jund Hackblade Myr Superion Spellbreaker helps to get the finishers online. But maybe I just need a Cavern of Souls in the utility land stack?

All depends on what the others are doing. Impossible to know a priori.

Thanks for posting! These are some fairly solid suggestions. Student of Warfare - It's been on my list. Still looking to see if Boros Elite works well, with the various tokens floating around. The student is more of a known quantity to me (it's in my main cube), and I still want more...

I think he meant Living End

Maindeckable Graveyard hate:

Interesting topic! I've been thinking for a while about doing a Graveyard-centered reboot, but am too busy with other projects at the moment. It sounds like you have some great ideas there. It may sound weird, but I was tinkering with a budget cube that had lots of retrace / flashback, and...

The only real requisite for sustaining a professional class is an organization that can monetize and fund a professional class.

No, but there's a pretty large swath of territory between "incredibusted" and "15th pick".
