I have become the most disorganized Magic card owner ever. Somehow I can't find two planeswalkers, and stumbled upon a box I didn't know I forgot I had with like, Primeval Titan, Celestial Colonnade, Vendilion Clique and other random crap. When James was over I just found an envelope of unopened...

Is this dude worth running? If so, suggest a cut:

I think I am going to do Triple Pridemate at 360 to start, as I tend to overpush in the beginning to see if it works and then scale it back if needed. This is actually a Sirlin design technique. Effectively, your playtesters need to be sold on the idea, and if they are of the impression that...

Congrats to CML for winning our inaugural contest. Now to vote for the runner-up.

I'm kind of happy with the MODO cube being terrible, because I never feel the urge to spend money on it.

I ran Night's Whisper for a long time, and it was fine, albeit unexciting. It was also pretty unnecessary, design wise. I never felt like it was doing anything for my environment.

This was actually my first cube article: http://www.channelfireball.com/home/the-cube-fallacy/

Woke up briefly and decided to do some posting from my phone. Doing the same currently. Back to sleep!

Green for multi Deathrite and Scavenging and repeated lifegain effects.

Context required. For some reason this reminds me of a story. In seventh grade, my friend wrote a paper called "Why the Beatles are the Best". The paper had a dedication page, which read: "This paper is dedicated to Nirvana, because they are they best." Way to undermine your own thesis there...

Note that 2/1's for :1: are actually much more effective in cube than in normal draft, due to speed and aggro support. Burnished Hart looks super bad and there's not a super compelling reason why it can't just be a 3/3, other than the fact that Wizards intentionally doesn't push certain cards.

Well, part of the drawback (like Gaea's Cradle) is that sometimes it taps for :0:. I think this question is also a function of how brown your decks can be. Also note that, powering out Lodestone Golem is what the card is doing in Vintage, so you've kind of chosen one of the most broken...

Hmm... is he that well known in America? I really hadn't heard much of him before I moved to Belgium, may just be my perception. So the answer may just be that you're one of the few Brits / Euros on here.

I am listening to music on earbuds right now and it is the emptiest experience ever.

Are there any good headphones one can buy for ~150?

Jack-in-the-Mox is a sweet inclusion :) EDIT: Oh, you talked about it in the OP. Whoops.

Hey now, this website has two owners! It's been a fun month though. On Tuesday - Thursday alone we got 550 posts on here. Can't wait to see where we take things in 2014! Thanks for making this place great everybody!

Ajani's Pridemate Blood Artist + any instant speed removal = combat trick + mana open = threat of combat trick

Hey, thanks for posting here. Let us know if you have any specific ideas or design issues you're dealing with. As a general rule here the cube list threads don't get much activity unless the author is actively seeking discussion or help with ideas, so don't feel bad if this is a bit of...

I do, however, like the idea of you assigning a letter to each player, and the chaos of trying to organize everybody to take their picks correctly while they're all distracted and annoyed that you tried to force a really arbitrary system on them. Like, jesus, it can be hard enough to get my...
