Oh yes, Proliferate is in my spawn token cube too. Double duty!

I really like these changes, although I may be biased. Nearly all the cards you took out aren't in my cube anyways. Noxious Revival looks like a fun one to play with.

Javelineers do great work in Pauper constructed. Maybe I need that card for my Eldrazi-spawn cube...

I played the "Star Wars Living Card Game" this weekend, and it works entirely in packages. When you select a card for your deck, you're actually selecting a fixed group of 6 cards. As far as other ideas, the guy who blogs at http://mtgcube.blogspot.com has an interesting method where less...

Heh. I also linked to the forums in my "20 fetchlands" comment. It's funny, in some of the early drafts people would start pushing sections together to make it a solid grid (e.g. the land destruction and manlands) before I put a stop to it. Not everyone visualizes data for a living. :P

This is one of the most ludicrous comments I've read on a message board.

Jesse, do you do any deckbuilding with it, or just play with the default starter decks?

Thanks! My favorite part of the article was getting an excuse to make minimalist Magic card graphics. I'm probably the only Magic writer who makes their images in a statistical programming language... Eric: That cycle is without question the obvious choice. Sorry Chris, you're on the wrong side...

It's possible, but I don't think it's really necessary. Enigma Spinx is kind of just a big flying dork. Part of the idea for this design is to have your big finishers be Eldrazi. The Sphinx isn't really needed, nor is it supporting our themes in any specific way.

I've been looking for an explicitly awesome two-player card game, so the multiplayer "flaw" doesn't even seem so bad (especially considering I never ever play multiplayer Magic). After reading the rules and watching some videos, Netrunner looks like it solves all the issues people have with...

Done and done. Article should post tomorrow or Tuesday, I think.

No problem! I normally love MTGO shots for decklists, but it requires me actually knowing the cards. This is not an issue with most cubes, but here... :)

Keep it up, Christ.

I almost never ask this, but Jesse, do you have the list of cards that you can include in card tags? I don't know what a lot of these cards do, so it would be nice to be able to mouseover them instead of hunting them all down in Gatherer.

Alright, I now own Netrunner (the base set, none of the expansions). I also played Star Wars: The Living Card game today, which was supposedly inspired by Netrunner (or so claims my friend). It had an interesting mechanic in that the "deckbuilding" involved picking 10 groups of 6 cards (out of...

I will say I have been burned by digital collectible games in the past. I played Pox Nora when it first launched, and had a great time dueling there. Then at some point the designers just lost their shit and all sense of quality control just went out the door. It was a really novel concept too...

James, have you read the "Great Designer Search" post about the GDS1 finale where they redesign Steamflogger Boss?
