As somebody who does a bit of programming, I can tell you that these types of bugs pop up all over, and it just takes time to work out all the kinks. It could be that cards are drafted by card # within the cube list, and that's what's saved. Probably not difficult to fix, but it's also something...

I would imagine unblockable would be a pretty strong mechanic with a dearth of flying creatures. Where do you come down on animal hybrids?

Check us out, we now have a fancy "About" page. http://riptidelab.com/about/

I like what you've done with the CMC matters subtheme. I've got a bit of that going on in the UR section of my Eldrazi cube, and may have to steal some of these ideas. The idea of a "conversions" section is pretty neat too.

Part of the problem I have with the card is that the "lots of small bodies" deck is pretty weak when it doesn't draw the Opposition (at least over here). Not much redundancy there, at least at singleton. But again, maybe these are just my own environmental problems, as I don't currently promote...

Interesting idea, I've never designed entirely from a flavor perspective. How do you think this restriction will affect the color balance? Blue seems fairly lacking in the human department. Maybe you could borrow the flavor of something like Game of Thrones? That gives you access to Ajani...

I like this analogy a lot. I'll probably steal it for an article.

Usually you change your mind within a single post, but I guess this thought required two. :)

I for one am more partial to Zealots in PvZ. Apparently this shit worked in Diamond League: PvP deserves nothing less than the eloquence of a Phoenix opening with an Immortal transition.

Psst. I've got a cube for that.

Yeah, I want to like the card. I like the design. No, the mana cost isn't an issue, but it's probably just my configuration. I don't promote tokens, and don't have a lot of the "army in a can" cards. Maybe I'll reconfigure someday. Stuff like Deranged Hermit and Cloudgoat Ranger used to be...

I find the assortment of removal spells in Standard right now to be really interesting. The way Wizards has planned the metagame around Pillar of Flame is super neat.

In the very beginning of the site we had a couple hits from Something Awful. I looked it up and apparently somebody said "Everybody knows riptidelab.com is the cool new cube site anyways". But the comment was effectively ignored.

Apparently I had the app in Sandbox mode. Try again?

Yeah, but the proxy I have for Chord of Calling is really really ugly, and I don't think that can be overlooked.

How good is this card? It's obviously cool and synergistic, and cubers have lauded it since the beginning of time, but, I don't know if I see it. It's won a couple games, sure. I don't know if it's ever been in a 3 - 0 deck in my cube. It's one of those classic "great build-arounds", but I...

Hmm... that activation cost is super inefficient. Bombardment goes in tap-out decks that sac things at instant speed in response to removal or to finish off the game. Charging may well make it unplayable.

Hoorah, all the cards are in the mail now. Well, except for Chord of Calling, which CFB was sold out of. Maybe I'll have to use a proxy for the time being. Or just use Green Sun's Zenith temporarily?
