I'm not going to say people don't occasionally get Wastelocked, but there's a reason you don't see Crucible everywhere in Legacy, just as there's a reason you don't see Jitte everywhere either. The strength of these cards are very context dependent, and even games that end in a Wastelock usually...

The best thing about Zombies is that there are good Zombie cards in all five colors. I actually don't use Graveborn Muse, but that's because Disciple of Bolas is a much sweeter and more versatile card. I cut Graveborn Muse long ago for not being what I wanted, so I really didn't feel the need to...

People in general have a much lower tolerance for strong cards that aren't real.

You know, even with 4 Wasteland I haven't run into troubles with Crucible locks yet. Maybe it's our play group, but part of the issue is also that my cube is ridiculously low CMC. So a lot of decks can operate / are already online by Turn 3 / 4. Also a lot of our lands are fetchlands, so you can...

It's not much, but white Double Strikers are pretty fun as a subtheme. It is a good question though, I don't think white's deeign space is very thoroughly explored. People seem to be pretty content with their beaters and control effects. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

Crucible + Manlands is pretty good value. Crucible + Fetchlands means never missing a land drop again.

Here's a test of our new content site: http://riptidelab.com/wp/?p=68

Well, that prototype I posted earlier totally borked when we tried to host it here. Here's what I've got now: http://riptidelab.com/wp/

Yeah, you cycle the land, then play it from your graveyard. Maybe things are different here, but Crucible is a huge net-fun positive here. People love to play with it, and it hasn't been stifling. Last draft Hannes put together a deck that ran off of a Crucible, Birthing Pod, Bloodghast engine.

There's also really small marginal mill stuff like this. Might not be a perfect fit, but maybe it sparks some ideas.

I would probably run both Consuming Aberration and Sewer Nemesis, if there's space. Altar of Dimentia + Geralf's Mindcrusher mills for 21.

I just view it as one of those build-arounds you can't actually build around because you only have one copy.

Hey Chris, thanks for all the work. Here are my thoughts: I think you're a bit off on Thought Scour. Sure, it's no Ponder, but if you are supporting a theme these are the types of slots you need to dedicate to it. I like including this card a lot more than the cards that mill with no other...

Thought exercise: at what density of madness cards does Tibalt become playable? Also, these have been pretty great in dedicated madness decks:

Ah, Chris, you're such a tinkerer, I love it. Serra Avenger was out of your cube for about 24h? You know, I tried Living Death for a long time and it never came together. Probably one of those cards you really need multiples of.

No love for Crucible + Utility Cycling lands?

Hmm... so a wiki-style OP. I don't know if that's possible, but I'll look into it.

Yes, the forums remain unchanged. :)

Yeah, MODO is probably the best teaching tool for learning about priority / when you can actually cast shit.
