    Falkenrath Aristocrat more because it has haste, doesn't grow unless you specifically have humans, and is all-around easier to deal with. Immerstrum Predator snowballs out of control really quickly, and I don't find that play pattern to lead to good gameplay.

    Both are very fun. They 0ffer very different play experiences, but are both nice because they're not particularly bomb-focused. As long as you draft a good deck as opposed to a pile of random cards, you can win.

    I think you're kind of missing the point. From what I understood, the point was that 7-drops are not cards that every deck can be expected to play, because not every deck can naturally support getting 7 mana sources into play over the course of an average game. In all of the examples you gave...

    It seems like it could be interesting in your multiplayer environment, but I don't know if it will be actually good.

    Dom's Stream of Consciousness

    Apparently the reason why they name Core Sets a year ahead but keep Commander products on the current year has to do with how big-box retailers like Target and Walmart stock their shelves. If a product has a name with the past year, those stores will tend to stop stocking the product and might...

    Honestly I'm not sure I like the idea of using member emotes at all (especially since 3/4 of the people with emotes right now aren't even active users anymore and might not even come back ever).

    General Forum upgrade: tomorrow at some point (Sunday, April 25th)

    Can we remove the "Last Edited" feature? I liked being able to go back and fix spelling mistakes on posts from two years ago without anyone noticing ;).

    That's not a difference between Classic Riptide and Cube Brainstorming Discord (CBD) philosophy in terms of outcome, that's a difference in individual design goals. Sirfunchalot's Cube is definitely focused on allowing players to draft decks that kind of feel like constructed decks, while a Cube...

    I'm not sure what I have to say is relevant to the main argument here, but I may have something to contribute. 1. Young Pyromancer isn't needed everywhere anymore. He's a good card no matter what, but cubes without a spells-matter archetype or a billion cantrips and burn spells won't necessarily...

    I've been flunk'd as early as turn 2 before- it's way easier to pull off than it looks. I'm not sure the hand information thing is that big of an issue in paper as you can look at how many cards are in your opponent's hand without necessarily having to ask. Anecdotally, I also tend to ask how...

    The Black Cube

    This seems extremely viable here since you run so many "gold" cards in your non-black section. 81 gold cards at 532 is way more than most cubes would ever even consider fielding. It would be even better if you could find a way to add more U/B and R/B cards to the Cube. Definitely test this.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I really don't know if anyone considers it a staple in 2021. Kor Skyfisher is rarely amazing, but it's never a card you're unhappy to have in your White creature-based deck. It has a lot of neat angles that drafters can try to exploit. It's just a solid filler card that can contribute value to...
