Geez, you value the minutes of your day much more highly than I do.

The less commonly a theme has been printed throughout Magic's history, the greater the need to break singleton to make said theme viable at a given power level. That said, there will always be a much greater catalogue of "generally good" cards than cards of any given off-beat theme. By virtue of...

Yeah, I've seen how HexTCG handles it. Eric is supposed to write a front-page post about that game (*ahem*). Maybe you should pester him publicly and frequently.

Instead of a single window, the new client has three windows (the board, the chat log, the game log) that don't stay locked in place (last I played, at least), and had to be rearranged every time you launched a game. Further, the visual display was more decorative than functional, and I found...

I don't think there's an answer to this. It depends on a couple dozen (or more) variables. Density of gold spells, density of hybrid spells, cost of sweepers, speed of aggro decks, critical turn of control decks, number and strength of colorless cards, etc. For what it's worth my current cube...

Perhaps I'm an exception, but I pop cards out of my cube all the time to lend to people for constructed decks. I'm never cubing and playing constructed simultaneously, and use the same sleeves for everything, so I don't find it to be an issue. If I didn't take cards out of my cube and wanted...

I had Exclude at 420. It was a fun counterspell to play with in my opinion.

I would add that, in my opinion, it's less about whether they are too strong and more about whether they are what you want to be strong (or even present) in your set. There's not a right or wrong, it's just a decision to be made.

I haven't played it in a while, but when I did it was clunky, intrusive, and got in the way of the enjoyment of the game.

Yes, I suppose now my previously cryptic message makes sense. Lucre, as far as contributing goes, I would just say keep doing what you are doing. You've been a great member of our forums in your short time here. As always, your ideas and suggestions are always welcome. Your suggestion to reach...

Chris, your images appeared to have died.

This is an interesting approach, but somehow I had the impression that although the WoW TCG lands mechanics was liked intellectually, people found it to produce boring and repetitive games. Somehow the tension of playing through games where mana doesn't flow perfectly added to the experience...

Ah, the 'ol 3-4-3 formation.

We're all on pins and needles for the Chandra Ablaze, Tibalt, Squee deck to take over the Modern meta.

Yeah, I briefly ran a second Day of Judgment instead of Supreme Verdict (I now run Hallowed Burial). I saw no reason to restrict a wrath to a gold slot, and the second Day was better for the flexibility of the environment. Not liking Slagstorm seems pretty arbitrary. I took it out briefly for...

I moved the Cube Lists forum to be parallel to the "Cube Talk" forum. For those looking for a quick overview, I recommend using http://riptidelab.com/forum/ as your bookmark.

I like a lot of those cards, but many are simply below my power level or not what I am looking for. I am, however, looking forward to using Varolz in my Eldrazi-Domain cube project.

I'm wondering why you frontload the picks (two after Pack 1). I kind of like having less information until later. Not a huge issue, just curious.

Why do you dislike Slagstorm and Supreme Verdict?

Alright, we have a preliminary subforum. Feedback welcome!
