The Twitter account has made its maiden Tweet. I'm not really good at this stuff though.

Vengevine + Entomb + Gravecrawlers = fun times EDIT: trust me, I'm a statistician

I always feel really weird when people complain about there not being land destruction in a cube that runs bouncelands. Granted, I would rather have the land destruction than the bouncelands, but the risk/reward there feels all off. I mean, in Pauper I boomeranged a Turn 2 bounceland and can...

You know, it's funny. The cube is too fast for a spell effect like Lighthouse, but on a land it actually works. Since we run a high density of fixing there is room in decks to run spell-lands (e.g. look at his mana base, one colorless land is never going to slow him down). Also, games run long...

That's a pretty solid suggestion Dom. It'd be my first Morph card, which is uh... well, one is the loneliest number, especially for morphs. But I do like it.

Cooperfauss' cube intro primers are a solid starting point for new cubers: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cuberhauss-please-try-this-at-home-part-1/ http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cuberhauss-please-try-this-at-home-part-2/

Last night's winning deck, by Gert (hoooly crap): Sideboard included: Psionic Blast Mystical Tutor Thirst for Knowledge Koth Geist of Saint Traft Stromkirk Noble Trinket Mage Shardless Agent Spikeshot Elder Stifle Trygon Predator Vedalken Shackes Forbid Good god...

Yeah, the word limit will have to go straight to hell. I tried to keep it brief, but the match reports alone take up 1600 words. We'll see. A lot of that is card tags and other nonsense.

Here are an assortment of odd decks that have 3-0'd in the last several months. Unfortunately I didn't always record the lists, but will do so from now on.

Hmmm.... tickets. I transfer via PayPal, which means I first need to put money in my paypal, which for some unknown reason takes like 4 days. I'm pretty sure there's a conspiracy here somewhere.

Hi Dom, I agree that the splashier stuff can be lots of fun. I'll be curious to see how well you can find intersections between these archetypes, as opposed to cards that fit in "the ____ deck", as it seems like a pretty high-difficulty challenge. I like the Burning-Tree Emissary idea as a...

I personally avoid all morphs, as too few players actually know what they all are. To new players (to my cube or otherwise), Morph would be a source of frustration rather than strategic depth. With a bunch of veterans I'm sure it'd be different. This is just personal preference really though, I...

Hi Vibe, thanks for being proactive! Glad it was you and not a troll, haha.

Who made the Twitter account???? :p https://twitter.com/Riptide_Lab EDIT: Wow.... that emoticon is terrifying.

Just got back from the draft. Went 2 - 1 with a WBr midrangy deck, losing to the eventual winner (UR Control). He killed me with Ludevic's Test Subject. I know I made some drafting mistakes, and wasn't in the best colors for my seat. As far as Zombies go, the sacrifice effects are varied and...

The number one most important thing for me is, if you're going to have an aggro presence, figure out a way for there to be ways for aggro to interact with the combo decks. Tidehollow Sculler and friends (and Cabal Therapy, etc.) are great for this. Vintage has really cool kind of aggro/prison...

I don't really care about language, but I think at times tone can be very important. People won't want to join in if they perceive there to be a hostile tone. Not to say that there is one, but let's keep an eye towards keeping the tone intellectual and inviting, especially when we disagree.

Yeah, as we saw from Caw-Blade mirrors, getting a high-impact play on the board a turn earlier (either via coin flip or Mox) can be very strong. EDIT: Not to imply that anybody ever played a Standard Stoneforge on Turn 1.

Alright, so we have a group of 8 scheduled to draft tonight, so I will be trying this for the first time. I have to say I'm a little nervous, more from the design side from the player side. Many of our regulars are not there, so the players will be less familiar with the unique archetypes I have...

Well, I'll certainly test it next time I get an opportunity. I'll try it the default way, and then probably try with an 8x9 or 9x9 grid with a few more picks.
