It's mostly just a me thing. I have weird eyes.

I think the new frame generally looks better, but in this specific case the art matches the muddier frame better. And, on top of that, the old border one has a cleaner text box. Not great for actual play, but prettier for display.

Yeah... I think Old Border Timeless Dragon looks way better, but I'd probably run the other version in any deck where I hadn't gone out of my way to solely run old border cards.

If I was putting them on a shelf to look at, sure. But if I'm playing a game, I want the board state to be as clean and easy to read as possible.

I knew a guy who swore by using two dice for every pile of tokens. The first die recorded how many untapped tokens there were in that pile. The second die recorded how were tapped. He never gave me a satisfactory answer to the whole "what if someone bumps some of the dice?" issue.

I'd hate to play with your cube, Ravnic — having miss-matched card frames for non-lands gives me the willies. ... That came out wrong, sorry. :oops: I do feel like having a different frame for lands is actually a good thing, though (as long as you can still identify what color they're...

I think it really helps that we're a forum dedicated to a creative, non-competitive aspect of Magic, and that our uniting design aesthetic is "I want to run interesting archetypes in my cube. How do?"

You're lucky you didn't contribute, Humpty. I think it's the only forum I've ever seen where most of the mods seem to stick around just to do mod stuff. Hell, I think some of them have never posted anything that hasn't been a mod action. There's some weird power dynamics, is all I'm saying.

My guess is that it makes it really easy to accidentally mix in your "token" card with the cards in your deck. Or, even worse, if you both get distracted and the card gets knocked over... hey, how'd he get here? Cheatyface

Giant in the Playground. I made an account back in 2010, and I still bum around their roleplaying section from time to time. Mostly because it's a bit of a trainwreck, if I'm going to be honest...

I'm on another forum where the mods would yell at you for even suggesting C. It makes conversations awkward.

I seem to recall that someone on this forum built a "beginner" cube with no tokens and no counters. I can't remember who, though.

Replace the basic land box with ABUR duals and fetchlands. Why do anything half way?

Kor Skyfisher + Oketra's Monument + Earthcraft is infinite creatures + infinite mana, so maybe avoid putting those cards together in a cube unless you've got ways to handle someone theoretically going off on T3? If we're looking at three colors, though, I think that Earthcraft Zombies could be...

The first deck I ever got was the original Rakdos pre-con. And now, my preference is pretty much just Temur-and-subsets-thereof. Screw Orzhov, all my homies hate Orzhov.

Why just run the best Mox? Flummoxed Cyclops

@Erik Twice (oh wait, we have an Erik here? Huh.) The reason why those shirtless dudes don't come off as being sexualized comes down to a difference in social expectations for men and women in Western cultures. Long story short: the Bog Standard Male Power Fantasy includes being sexy, because...

Yeah, she's looking pretty good. And Goon #2 clearly won the Armor Lottery. ... I was going with an implicit "assuming that you don't let me add or remove things" for the "armor I prefer". If I can switch stuff around... Middle Lady's armor, a shield, and a helmet (holy fuck people wear...

The problem with Middle Lady is that, in the event that someone tried to stab her, her armor would guide said stab right into her sternum (or her throat, depending). The decision that she made as a LARPer/re-enactor is pretty nonsensical from a "I would like to minimize my chances of dying as...
