    General Riptidelab mostly-custom cube attempt #1

    Difference between zendikar is we can play with fetches more. Make Leonin Arbiter style effects. Care about life loss timing by putting Bloodthirst on spells to force players to care about life loss. Maybe you could have a trigger that says "if a player lost life this turn". Incidental top of...

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    Yes, not tying up mana is a good thing for that kind of deck. See Barrage of Expendibles.

    Then I'd probably make it an artifact. :p

    I was thinking about this earlier. Like it's easy to get caught up in specific (do you want 2 Jittes or 0). There's the flavor aspect (there can be only one) that is violated entirely by the new legend rule, then there's the mechanical aspect. A card like Thalia would likely not make it into...

    To be fair CML Goblin Guide is one of the most narrow aggro cards out there. Perhaps there's an article in this space.

    Aggro decks pretty rarely come together in Sealed so I think it's reasonable. Like CML implied, it's not great in draft. The other option is to go in the direction of retail: most decks have a pretty similar curve, and playable card supply is limited.

    General Do you like Tangle Wire games?

    Crucible is an option. My cube is super unoptimized right now, mostly because so many things are in flux concurrently. I don't have anything I'm comfortable with "publishing" at the moment. Orb is out currently so no such combo exists.

    I think Thrun is great design and I like the puzzle he forces players to solve. Everything should have answers, even removal.

    Oh and we totally have polls but voiced discussions are more fun.

    General Do you like Tangle Wire games?

    I was looking for a card to cut. I like Tangle Wire but don't view it as essential and wanted to put a nonaggro card in the slot for now. I'm sure it will be back someday.

    I still think there should never be two Planeswalkers on the field at the same time (of any subtype). When the second one shows up they should be like "let's peace and get a beer". Beleren beating JTMS was the only thing that kept my "budget" Caw-Blade viable in Standard, so I probably have...

    Card/Deck Revisiting Zombies

    Hmm, lots of ideas but nothing feels quite like "it". I don't know if this is a problem that can be solved. Anybody have much success with blue zombie decks in their cubes?

    If I were picking two I'd run Icy and Tumble. If I were picking one I'd pick Tumble Magnet.

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    I don't know. In general zombies are trying to find ways to win the game via 2/1's in the phase of the game where 2/1's are no longer relevant. Also they tend to skew towards black mana to play Gravecrawler over and over. It might be good. I get stuck on the military intelligence angle of "how...
