    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Did you know this was originally meant to be the art for Aethersnipe? http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/lorwyn-elemental-swaps-2007-11-28 Anyway I don't actively avoid Fear/Intimate but I don't run a lot of cards with the ability just because it doesn't appear on very many good...

    General Fight Club

    Second one might be a bit much, given it's at least Negate with what could be a pretty bit upside with Spell Mastery. I think that version at {2}{u} might be OK? I can't really tell how narrow the last one would be in practice. It seems great vs Black and Red, maybe alright against White but...

    But imagine the emotional spike!

    General Emotional Spikes in Cube Design

    I don't agree that tight technical play and emotional spikes are incompatible. For me, the strongest engagement with the game comes when I think I'm close to locking up a game through incremental advantage and I just have to fade two draw steps to close it out. I don't think that it's the act of...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    I was looking through a friend's cards for some stuff for Pincher cube and I came across Shackles. It might serve the same function as Prison Term, but I think it reads a bit better and has the bonus of being a repeatable heroic trigger in a pinch. What do you think?

    You could also play Coiling Oracle (the best creature in Modern).

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    I don't know why you'd ever cut Wall of Omens, the best creature in Modern, from your cube.

    General Fight Club

    I can understand the confusion, I didn't realise which thread this was. But yes, both, in multiples, ideally with nothing else in the cube.

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    I think I missed a couple on a quick count but I end up between 50 and 60.

    General Expensive Eldrazi Domain Cards

    Honestly I think I prefer Geist-Honoured Monk, Roc is so hard to come back from.

    Sylvan Tutor is a fraction of a ticket.

    The Video Game Thread

    If you're interested in the history there's a documentary on youtube (first episode here: ) which follows the history of Smash Bros Melee as a competitive game by looking at the players considered the best at various eras. It's pretty long, I think there's 7 episodes at about 40 minutes each...

    Sets [EMN] Eldritch Moon Spoilers Thread

    Well, prereleases do tend to attract a more casual audience and everyone here spends a reasonable amount of time posting on a forum dedicated to a particular kind of limited magic, so we may be a little more invested than the general prerelease crowd.

    Evoke, like all kicker mechanics, is great.
