    General Ode to James

    Ode to James James, you irreverent Brushwagg, unsummarized by card tag, Your socks, unmatched, and your enemies dispatched, With zero artifacts in play. I’ve never met someone so naturally handy, With the aesthetic of a discarded Raggedy Andy. Your stories, some Plathian nightmare: “With...

    That Darius would be so busted. Damage falls off at end of turn, so it's repeatable removal that leaves you with a giant threat. What I'm trying to say is he should give enemy creatures Wither.

    General [DOM]Dominaria

    James and I went to a local pre-release here in Antwerp. On a whim I tried to see if I could get 5-color control to work, and he played some midrangey black-green deck that was splashing for some removal spells. Anyways, because we're dorks who post on Magic forums, we both started 3 - 0 and met...

    I know it's not the problem, it's just a card that irks me. Most successful decks these days feel like varying forms of "vomit tons of stuff onto the board for little cost" in a way that you can't really keep up with reactively.

    Re: Cubelock... I know it's 10 mana, but most DKs are designed so that they represent a small tempo loss in exchange for some long term value gain that is accrued over subsequent turns. The Guldan Battlecry is so strong that people already paid 10 mana for a similar effect (N'Zoth), and the...

    To me the gameplay kind of shifted from "fun and interactive" to "get absurd value from everything". The amount of stuff that gets put onto the board with various recruit mechanics is absurd, and the "answers" haven't really kept pace. Also, fuck Divine Favor.

    When they pull like, a Knife Juggler, Loot Hoarder and Righteous Protector, it's almost impossible to interact with it favorably. CoCo you could at least counterspell...

    Do you guys still, uh, like the design of HS cards?

    Hearthstone

    I've been crushing Arena, if that counts. I bought my girlfriend the pre-order for her birthday, been playing around with the Baku she opened. Paladin looks strong but she doesn't really like the class, so I don't think we're going to spend the dust on cards like Level Up.

    Look to the top of this thread. Now back to me.

    I mostly did this to prove James wrong, which seems in the spirit of the thread.

    This is categorically untrue.

    I want to like this card, but putting your Abyssal on 2-turn layaway seems like such a huge cost.

    As a general note, feel free to ask as many questions as you want. People here love being helpful (it's kind of weird).

    General Getting Started - The Core of A Cube

    Hey, thanks for your post. If you haven't seen it already, we once upon a time made a number of resources for new cube designers, call the Cube Academy: http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/ Regarding the "core", I'm not sure exactly what others have posted, but I think it can actually take...

    My favorite Wild deck is in the dumpster. Look at those Reno Mage matchups. Any time I queue against Warlock it's just misery.

    Had an Arena game the other day where Kabal Trafficker, Kabal Courier and Stonehill Defender each gave me a Voidlord. Yeesh.
