I mean, I agree that we should question whether something (anything) is worth doing. I really like playing these attacking blue decks, and don't necessarily agree that the way Delver games play out in cube are reflective of Delver games in Standard / Legacy / Pauper / Modern / whatever...

I think there's a lot of other factors here. I don't mean to discount CML's contributions, but... I dunno, I've seen some pretty shitty blue decks come out of his cube. Maybe I'm full of shit too. Those decks above only have 10-11 instants / sorceries. Delver still felt like a good 1 mana / card...

Yeah, those are the post counts per day since the forum was founded.

P.S. you guys can suggest actual Magic topics. Unlike Eric, CML might not agree with me on everything.

I don't remember these statements, but, I'll just say that even with 0 fetches and the possibility of Brainstorm locks, I love having 4x Brainstorm in my Pauper Delver deck.

I remember finding those parts interesting at the time, but now all I remember is something about information transfer via some cult underground sex sewer, and some unfortunate human data processor getting fucked until her system overheated and she caught on fire or something. In retrospect I...

A while ago somebody (probably Eric) was complaining about Delver flip probabilities. Let's say your deck is one third spells. Those are the distributions of when you expect delver to flip by turn after playing him (black curve), and the cumulative distribution (red curve). 13 spells is...

This is one of the worst ideas I have heard. Part of what makes good cubes good is that a low CMC means competing resources in your hand and an increase in decision density. I have a whole article on the topic in the can, so I don't want to waste too much time on it, but part of the reason that...

Do I come across as a moron if I say that the further back a book was written the less I enjoy it? I just have no appreciation of the classics. There's a quote somewhere to the extent of "classics are books you don't want to read, but want to have read". I don't even want to have read them. Just...

I'm not saying these are perfect decks, but here are two Delver decks that have 3 - 0'd my cube.

Too many distractions in cute winter coats?

We did it guys.

Uh, so I'm going to play with a big ball of fire and invite CML to do a live (gulp) Chatcast alongside yours truly, where I'll attempt to do my best to reign in the tangents while my guest leads us on tirades that seek to connect the failings of Avacyn Restored limited to Nietzschean philosophy...

I feel like we deserve an article on this topic. There's been a lot of good discussion here. I'll see if I can whip something up.

I ignored all your suggestions and started reading Paprika, a surreal Japanese book. I'll make my way to your suggestions soon enough though.

Gravitational Shift: for making Delver even more swingy. Or for free wins with Lingering Souls. Works strangely with Geist of Saint Traft. Not part of Innistrad block.

Are you going to add extra undying guys?

I love the 0 loyalty ability text.

I think it's worth a shot, even for you non-devotees. It's been fine in my Eldrazi cube, if that counts for anything.
