Belgium is a 6 hour time difference from East Coast, 9 hours from West Coast. This basically means that only weekends are viable, if you're free then.

Oooh, neat idea! What's the story behind the document color scheme? I tried to look, but can you give a brief explanation of what your non-white cards are and the different fixers you have to support them? I saw Ajani Vengeant, but wasn't sure what else there was.

Found a play group for Netrunner, and will be getting some hands on time this weekend. Also, apparently you can play online via OCTGN. Does anybody else use it? Looks like a pretty easy interface.

There are probably cards that I would take over Jitte. Part of the match reports got edited down, but I lost 2 of the 3 games where I had Jitte in play. I don't think I ever got Jitte + first/double strike online. Yeah, our environment relies much more on spot removal than sweepers. Even with...

Yeah, I'm currently trying to reconfigure the utility land draft fixing section. I either want: 1) One of each guild 2) No guild lands, and ~5 multicolor (3+) lands As the drafter, I found the signals very difficult to read here. I got multiple packs that had no blue at all, and some that...

Man, this is the internet, you have to emoticon that shit.

Alright, well, regarding the sacrifice theme, it's possible you didn't push it far enough. It's been a pretty great element of my cube's design, but the reason it works is because there is a lot of it. Breaking singleton is also pretty necessary, as the Gravecrawlers and Bloodghasts are really...

Wait, you cut all of your one-drops? It feels like you're going to some real extremes here, and from what I've experienced with your cube over-promoting aggro is not a risk. Hmm... not sure this is the best approach Hannes.

As this seems to be the place where we're discussing CubeTutor: I tried it out today and was very frustrated by the experience. It was very finicky in the way that it parsed .txt files, and would ignore any second copies of a card. I supposed you can add them manually, but then their cube...

Does your cube have 1-drops? :)

Got wrangled into a Standard tournament today. Scrapped together a couple friends' spare cards to make a Naya Blitz style deck, which was the only viable option given the card pool. Round 1 on the draw I keep a 2 Burning-Tree hand, and draw Burning-Tree Emissaries Turns 1 and 2. Champion of...

Alright, I need 160 more cards to complete this thing. I'll order about 140 now, proxy the 20 most expensive, and should be able to start testing soon.

Sweet. Just to clarify, there's nothing really to see at that link right? All I see are some folders and a brief readme.

I'd like that too, but it's a bit outside my domain. The best I can do is write controversial articles that spark discussion. They're already pretty well aware that people would like them to go online more frequently.

I will say in Andy's defense that I think he came to many of the same card choices independently, even if I was the one to write about them publicly. I think I did more work in connecting the sacrifice themes to other colors, but in the end credit's not all that important. As long as people are...

I need somebody to scour the internet for the world's most poorly designed fan-made double-faced card. Maybe the flipping follows a Markov chain based on some obscure thing (number of nonbasics tapped at the beginning of the declare blockers stage). Preferably it would also have some custom...

I will say that I really like the Devour mechanic, and wish that there were some more playable cards with it. I could do some good work with a quality Devour card in my current cube. It's an intuitive enough mechanic that I wouldn't be surprised to see them bring it back someday. They even put...

More things: When you reduce the cost, you have to specify which mana bubble you're applying the reduction to? Why make the ability be (X + 1)? Wouldn't 'X1WU: Counter CMC X spell' work better? I can't imagine the game being very fun with this guy on the battlefield. For Undertow, what if...

Lotus Cobra is pretty good even without fetches. It fixes your mana and accelerates, all without tapping. Any land drop will let you play T3 4-drops, which is a pretty important tempo boost. Lotus Cobra was probably the best 2-drop in that deck.
