Okay, let me say that I love your custom cards. Really. How did you get such great art for all of these? And custom flavor text too? I'm sold. That said, I keep coming back here to look at them, and having to pop open the spoiler tags is really annoying. Maybe I am in the minority, but I'm...

Maybe you could go into some of the thinking behind these cuts? The strangest one to me is taking out Boros Charm for Lightning Angel. Boros Charm is a lot of fun to play with, and is much more likely to make a deck. However, I'm certainly not of the opinion that cube should have no three color...

Drink spillage is the #1 cube hazard. Before I cut manlands and filterlands from my cube, I used a bit of a grab bag for the extra fixers that was pretty fun. I liked playing with the really random lands like: etc. These are all fun in their own ways, and you feel awesome when you fetch Bosk...

I had talked with another cube writer a while back, and his vision was to create a front page as well, with user submitted articles and other things (blog entries, etc.). I know Wordpress is out there as a pretty easy way to set up such a page. Is this something other people are interested in...

Thanks for the suggestions Peter. I never really gave Ascension a fair shot, something about its packaging / theme just turned me off to the whole thing. I had never even heard of Thunderstone, but I'll be sure to give it a look. I also like that you can just say "Blue Shell" as a mechanic and...

Also, in case it wasn't obvious, you can click on a tag and the forum will load all threads with that tag. So if you want to see all the "SCD/Deck" threads or whatever, just click on the tag and everything loads in an instant.

Perhaps the best way to generate discussion and feedback on your cube is to ask specific questions about design issues or choices you are dealing with. It's a lot of work to process somebody's entire list and give useful feedback, but if you break it down into bite-sized chunks people can weigh...

Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at 576 as your number?

I don't know if these forums actually support spoiler tags. But there is a limit of 20 images per post, so keep that in mind. If that's a problem let me know, I think I can change it. I really like your custom cards, and you've put a lot of effort into getting the look of the cards to be very...

ChannelFireball has a not very well known site for buying cards from a text list: http://store.channelfireball.com/products/multi_search Other than that I previously used MagicCardMarket.eu, but that is Europe only.

I didn't know it at the time, but I've since discovered that any thoughts I had about the world at age 14 were completely irrelevant.

Part funsies, but I'm also interested in seeing how each card performs individually.

I will say, I too want there to be more organization, but I think we just need to pick the right time to make the switch. It's always been a question of when. Maybe we're there? If you guys want, we can always test a subforum structure and see if it feels too empty or not. It's pretty easy to...

The complaint was just some vague nonsense about it "not having a home" and "not being cube worthy". But this guy just tries to force a multicolor Planeswalker deck every week, so what does he know? :P

I am catching some flak from one of my drafters for bringing in Boros Reckoner. What do you guys think?

Last week I made a Reddit post linking to Rob's Cuesbey thread, and that drove in some traffic. I think if we want to market this place, the best way would be for users to create some high-quality linkable threads. For example, somebody could make a "Compendium of Small-Player Draft Formats"...

@CML, what deck did you play in Portland?

Plow Under is definitely the objectively stronger card. Just need to see how Primal Command fares, especially with all these Gravecrawlers running around. Half a Plow Under + tutor a creature isn't too shabby either.

It doesn't take too much to make a theme felt. For example, the average SOM draft only had 7.8 cards with the word "Proliferate" on them. Wizards uses their mechanics far more sparingly than we perceive. A little bit goes a long way.

Yes Dom, I've seen that suggestion before. It's on my list to pick up in my next order. For my weekend draft I'll be testing the following changes: In: Out: I suspect many of these cards will find their way back into the mix, but that's why they call it testing.
