Well, that prototype I posted earlier totally borked when we tried to host it here. Here's what I've got now: http://riptidelab.com/wp/

Yeah, you cycle the land, then play it from your graveyard. Maybe things are different here, but Crucible is a huge net-fun positive here. People love to play with it, and it hasn't been stifling. Last draft Hannes put together a deck that ran off of a Crucible, Birthing Pod, Bloodghast engine.

There's also really small marginal mill stuff like this. Might not be a perfect fit, but maybe it sparks some ideas.

I would probably run both Consuming Aberration and Sewer Nemesis, if there's space. Altar of Dimentia + Geralf's Mindcrusher mills for 21.

I just view it as one of those build-arounds you can't actually build around because you only have one copy.

Hey Chris, thanks for all the work. Here are my thoughts: I think you're a bit off on Thought Scour. Sure, it's no Ponder, but if you are supporting a theme these are the types of slots you need to dedicate to it. I like including this card a lot more than the cards that mill with no other...

Thought exercise: at what density of madness cards does Tibalt become playable? Also, these have been pretty great in dedicated madness decks:

Ah, Chris, you're such a tinkerer, I love it. Serra Avenger was out of your cube for about 24h? You know, I tried Living Death for a long time and it never came together. Probably one of those cards you really need multiples of.

No love for Crucible + Utility Cycling lands?

Hmm... so a wiki-style OP. I don't know if that's possible, but I'll look into it.

Yes, the forums remain unchanged. :)

Yeah, MODO is probably the best teaching tool for learning about priority / when you can actually cast shit.

I love the Crater Hellion suggestion. Squee, Goblin Nabob is great too for expanding red's ouvre. Tuktuk the Explorer is an all-star that works in the right context (Greater Gargadon, etc.). I will personally say that I LOVE Goblin Bombardment in red. Pyreheart Wolf deserves mentioning in that...

Eric and I were talking about it, and basically you guys are free to make submissions of whatever you think of. We'll set up an email account for that. The other thing we'll look for is a slight touch up to go from a casual "forumy" tone to something more "websitey". We don't want people to...

Well, this whole conversation is really getting me excited to make a more graveyard-focused cube, but I still need to finish churning out that Eldrazi-Domain monstrosity first.

Also, I can't believe you don't have all my articles mentally cataloged... :P

Too lazy to type it up again. This card puts the Eternal in Eternal Witness.

I'll give Tombstalker another look. It's one of those cards that is "bad" by conventional cube wisdom, but, I'm pretty far from conventional at this point. Zombie Cutthroat was a suggestion for jumping from 3 to 6 with Pod. I am skeptical, but that's not going to stop me from testing it! I...

Vibe, it may be useful (if you haven't already) to cross-reference with the MTGS thread on the topic. If we're going to publish something on it, we want to be at least as comprehensive as what you could find elsewhere. I also think we want to consider whether this is a complete primer, or more...

We are launching a frontpage content site! These changes will roll out over the coming weeks, but for now, feast your eyes on this prototype: http://moxmoxbalancego.wordpress.com/ RiptideLab and You! With a new front page, we will need new content. This is where you all come in! RiptideLab...
