    Site News Job: Complete the Cube Academy

    Ah, great! You'll be perfect. Let me know if you want to Skype, but I imagine you have a pretty good handle on what to do.

    One idea I had is a theoretical cube creation exercise. Think Eldrazi Domain, where we take a bunch of mechanics and ideas and push them together for one unique environment. I'd love to see what you guys come up with, and maybe somebody would even be inspired to bring one of the ideas to...

    Site News Job: Complete the Cube Academy

    As many of you know, I started a project a while back called the Cube Academy (http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/), which stalled out on my end for a number of reasons. I still think it's an important project that's important to our site and a good resource in general, and would like to finish...

    I think people are mostly just excited to play with their new toys.

    Uh... maybe don't stare at Garruk's arm for too long, otherwise those veins may start to seem unseemly.

    I don't know why that image is in this thread but I love it.

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    I mean, admittedly I have an excessive attachment to Koth. But I'll play him in almost every deck. I won a Gameday with a Koth Sparkblade deck. Because who doesn't like to pick up swords, equip them to mountains and swing into the red zone. I have cast Koth into board states containing only a...

    General multicolor aggro

    I love me some multicolor aggro, as it's probably the "archetype" I play most frequently in my cube. Somehow they most commonly end up in {R}{B}{W} three-color concoctions. Does anybody else get that? I have built an absurd number of winning RBW decks with my cube.

    The OkCupid Experience

    Out of curiosity I sent out my first Tinder message and got a reply. I really don't know what the cultural expectations are with Tinder or what the rhythm of messaging should feel like. It feels strange. Anybody care to offer a testimonial?

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    I mean, let's be real, even in a tight mana-constrained cube Bolt isn't really irreplaceable. The number of games you're going to lose by casting Searing Spear instead is non-zero but non-big number either. Koth drops to the table and just wrecks players. I play him in 3 color decks. My 3-0...

    General 'walkers and "everything costs 4"

    I'm going to hijack this with a thought I've had lately. In another thread (who cares which one) you guys were talking about Lightning Bolt being the most powerful red card, but, given the option, I am picking Koth over Bolt every time. Koth slams on the table and just wins games. Are people...

    I hate everything you like

    I am generally a fan of all things eSport and also have no interest in eSport. I even tried to like it. Hard. As in, watched 8 hours of The International 2 and did my best to enthusiastically get into it. But it's just not there. They seem like terrible spectator experiences.

    I'm going to need a translation and a justification for some of these because it feels like you're spouting some unjustified bullshit for giggles.
