I think they're both interesting, but I'm actually mildly peeved that blue gets creatures like that which IMO feel very red/green mechanically...

Doesn't change anything to me. I read that the set is designed to be drafted and that it's the same msrp as regular magic product, but honestly I rarely want to doubledraft out of real boosters compared to a cube pack where it happens quite often. Neat wax seal watermark though. Waxmark?

Exile itself is just a strong effect (do you have regenerators?), and who doesn't love flashback? So often with this, firebolt and chainer's edict my opponents facetable when I start digging through my yard to cast them. Plus that art is sweet, yo. The problem I have with it is you can do...

The problem I have with most swamps is that they're a dead forest + some amount of water in the form of pools and/or fog. What's wrong with a 'living' swamp? If you think that lorwynn art is bad... BEHOLD THE MINI-PANORAMA

Uhhhhhhh I definitely had trouble settling on a forest, but this one was near and dear to me for some reason when I was a child. That aside THEM LILYPADS

I have multiple pools of players, actually. Group A largely already existed and congregates at my LGS. They're a mix of pro tour players, ex-grinders, random durdles and FNM heroes. None of them are outright bad but there are a few that are clearly ahead of the pack. Group B consists mostly...

Besides memory problems I don't think it's the worst thing ever. Played someone's else's cube where he had "planeswalker" as well, but outside of tempo/control decks it's usually manalith. More interesting than wall of denial, somewhere around Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, but worse than...

Personally the things I find tasteless in the typical/mainstream MTG culture are a small reason of what brought me to cube. It's on a casual-enough level that "pros" largely ignore it unless it's on modo. And both that the modo cube is shit (I can say shit, right?) and that these "pros" accept...

2/2 for {2}{R}{R}{R} too strong

I like how infect is considered an "alternate win condition" when it's combat damage a vast majority of the time. Sure someone might give you a poison counter than proliferate you to death, and that's very similar to mill, but come on...

I don't know how ROCKET HAMMER isn't the best-looking (huge for emphasis)

My 4-mans actually do 5 packs of 9. I don't really know why we ever started but it seems to work out. I don't have an argument besides "more first-picks," which everyone likes to make. Also 6 is the typical number for drafts in my parts, we rarely see 8 and never see 10.

I've got some problems with this kind of effect; I'd pretty much always rather get lands out of my deck. They've got the limitation of you needing the cards: "if I just draw a land I can play my thing;" these don't get you there while 'real' ramp does, which is a pretty big deal IMO. I'd...

That's my experience with it anyways. I like it a lot. Sneaking with a five-mana sorcery? I don't think any more has to "go right" for insight than prowess.

Yeah, it's pretty narrow. While it demolishes the multitude of 1/1s and has flash for the super cutesies, I don't think it's better than gelectrode. I fucking love that guy.

I'm of the mind that this guy is just better. He's sure a lot less of a shit topdeck: chimeric mass I know he doesn't run on +1/+1 counters but there you have it.

I co-designed a lot of weird cards with a friend a long time ago and "equipment for typical ramp decks" came up. I don't remember what we settled on but there was something based on lands and something that let you +x/+0 the equipped creature(which turned out to exist). I think the one I liked...

It's great, there are plenty of guys that hold it, it's cheap, and its boost is massive. Turns some so-so guy they can afford to take a couple hits from or chump block a bunch into a real threat.

Whelming wave isn't so bad; I tried devastation tide for a quick minute but it really sucked to bounce all your mana rocks and stuff, so a not-quite-upheaval that doesn't hit your PWs and artifacts sounds alright.
