This is a really dumb request, but does anybody have 7 MODO tickets I can borrow for like, three days? I am taking the next couple of days off and my Paypal refill is being really slow.

More cards to consider.

This ridiculous card exists: Kills things, combos with Boros Reckoner, Death's Shadow, echo for turning on Morbid

Still a little rough around the edges, but here is the updated list: http://cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/625

I had a really bad feeling about Hatred and don't think it's actually a good fit for this cube. After some Gatherer prowling I found a card that actually works:

You gotta sell me on Rakdos Signet. I don't understand.

Going to try the following: remove almost all tokens from white, and give it more of a mass-pump emphasis. Should lead to less-clogged boards overall. Tentative change list: Out: Samite Pilgrim Sunscape Familiar Aven Trailblazer Blade Splicer Emeria Angel Midnight Haunting Eyes in the Skies...

I think the theory certainly applies to all cubes. It's the same reason I run Condemn instead of, say, an additional Swords to Plowshares. I want something that will table to the control player. Understanding card demand is very important, and blindly jamming the more powerful one of course...

So many of the "conventional" cube design choices have so very little to do with game design.

It's a causality issue. You were saying (or so I thought, maybe I misread) that the higher stakes caused you to be less angry. I was saying it's the other way around. Not getting angry leads you to higher stakes. Either way, if we think of the "PTQ syndrome" as the population that is just...

I still think you have it completely backwards. Poker was a big thing when I was in university, and naturally I paid my bills by multi-tabling sit-n-gos on PartyPoker and tracking profits / hour in an Excel sheet. Meanwhile, my roommate played a lot of low level poker. He complained at the...

Oops, I'm bad at words.

I think it is possible to do the deckbuilding for this thing in an easy way through MTGO. Unfortunately that also means no strange custom rules (you can lower the life total and have people concede, but you can't have people not die from decking). To pull it off we would need ways to return...

FWIW I run all of the latter cards (Burning-Tree through Kird Ape) and none of the former (Jungle Lions and Wolf-Bitten Captive). As far as classification goes, everything I have to say on the subject is found in this article...

I talked with Eric about this once. Every game seems to be nicer at the top levels. Halo has a notoriously bad community, but its very best players were genuinely nice and intelligent people. It's always the ones who think they should be the best but arent who cause problems. Your PTQ grinders...

Oh, and France punts pretty hard in the finals. EDIT: And Hungary punts it right back.

I might try taking the Eldrazi out of this cube. Do some parallel design and see how it plays with a different configuration.

Did you like Rotlung Reanimator?

I've told this story before, but there's a local player who swears that Aether Vile is cubeable. I let him include it in his decks without drafting it (he just slots it in from his personal collection), and if he plays against me I let him include it automatically in his opening hand. It's still...

If you think that prize support is the cause of cultural problems then I think you're pretty badly mistaken. LOL and DOTA get tons of support and are known to be two of the most vile gaming communities out there. If anything, it works the other way. The best communities I have known (Netrunner...
