I don't expect to often see a cube setting where, by the time you are casting your third instant or sorcery, the extra forest is relevant for non-thinning purposes. But spell mastery seems like a great mechanic that cares about deck-building and sequencing, so I guess it's neat that the option...

Speaking of Metroid games...

No, my laptop can't run Project M at a reasonable frame rate.

In many cubes, what are you needing ramp for once you hit 5 (or 6!) mana?

I wish the Mother of Goons ability was on a more playable card. How playable is Goblin Goon. I love me some beefy vanillas with restrictions.

I don't know, I just had some vision of a snuff version of MTG where Chandra's parents are brother and sister. What if you only catch a spark if you're the product of incest? The south would be crazy.

I don't know, I was just kind of getting a Lannister vibe from that card.

Is there any incest in the Magic multiverse?

Are we sure they're her parents, and not some groovy cousins or something?

Seems like a good interaction, if you can get past the mana bottleneck. Drawing cards while using all your mana on dashing is a bit problematic.

LSV's UR Wildfire control deck looked pretty sweet and not "on rails", but MM also had random good RUG decks you could make. Lack of overlap is a problem and a biproduct of creating a set with these design limitations.

What's the name of that song?

CML actually has a book manuscript floating around, PM him for details.

I had a "multicolor-matters" theme, I wonder if any of these types could have worked... Shrewd Hatchling

Another topic: I just watched a draft of MM2 for the first time, and there's a huge degree of thematic and mechanical overlap between that set and Eldrazi Domain. I guess that's a function of the design restrictions, but it's cool to see.

So who's for starting an "interpreting CML's comments" book club?

Yeah, I see the appeal, spice of life, variety and all that. I think anotak dug up a crazy power-max-esque cube once that looked fun to play.

But God help you if you post a list with Wurmcoil Engine over here... :) I wouldn't actually mind, it's happened before, but I don't think they stuck around for terribly long.

This feels like far too neutral of a statement for CML to make about the Magic-playing populace.

I don't get this statement at all CML, but maybe you didn't intend us to get it?
