It's gimmicky as shit but I run Second Sunrise and Faith's Reward in a Friendly Armageddons EDH deck. It may not be cube, but I can confirm they're both really sweet in lands.dec The incidental crossover with aristocrats is kinda neat too, but a bit meh - it's cool if you run stuff like...

Not going to lie, while I disagree with some specific points you make, I do agree in general. I don't think an eternal format is in a good place when it's in essence Horizons Block Constructed but there are a variety of decks even if they share a significant percentage of their cards. While...

I'm sad to see him go too, the nostalgia is real - this is the copy of Huntmaster that came out of the same pack as a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and a foil Vorapede, to the immediate disbelief of all present. All three of those cards saw play in FNM-winning standard decks of mine (Angel of Glory's...

It's not even on the reserved list though, it got removed from it 20 years ago. They've reused the original art before on a modern border foil (Though with Tedin's signature edited out) for the judge gift program. It's not only cropped but also washed out as hell. It's like they photocopied the...

No it can't possibly be a proxy, proxies are for playing with and aren't worth any money. Speculators will buy this in droves and leave them in sealed plastic boxes in the hope that someone else will want to pay for a piece of cardboard to keep in a sealed plastic box. It's a 'collectable'.

It's going to be able to be 4/4 a lot, but I was worried about it leading players into making the wrong call when using it next to Flashback and Delve. Probably not a good enough reason to not run Red Looter Goyf :P. I had been leaning towards the Theorist, but this convinced me. While I had...

Damage on the stack is a cool suggestion to making self-bounce stronger. Lets you play old blue favourites like Aquamoeba too

I can confirm Deathreap Ritual is real, but it's no Dark Prophecy or Liliana, Dreadhorde General. I'd still run Midnight Reaper before every other card mentioned though - goes in the most decks out of all of them. I have two conundrums (Conundra?) to place before you: Conspiracy Theorist...

I'm just happy I got out of all constructed formats with SL:TWD, and now only acquire cards from other people and the two FLGS I like. We had the worst Standard since like, Urza's block, with nothing but "No this is fine its how we do things now" philosophy of fire nonsense (I wish they'd don't...

This is a sweet idea - I've toyed around with Esper Sagas for a peasant Duplicate Sealed I'm putting together with cards like Thrull Parasite and Clockspinning, and that pile also has a bunch of the channel enchantments from NEO, but I'd never even -thought- about Replenish. This is so...

Aww man I love this! Do you perhaps have some sort of newsletter I can subscribe to? I tried to make this happen in the first iteration of my cube with Melek and Rashmi and it just did not come together. Kept all the support cards because they're needed for the CMC-Burn and Miracles stuff, and...

So, as we learned today with Mishra, you can have almost 150 words on an official magic card. 90 seems perfectly acceptable :P

I got briefly very excited when I discovered Farmstead about a week ago. I wanted something cool for a white module to add to my Ana cube. I thought I knew all of the triple-pipped spells in Magic, and alas, White gets shafted with boring stuff like Master Apothecary, Benalish Marshal and...

Inspired by the Bounce > Flicker thread, I'm interested in hearing about the innovations people have made with their own cubes. Not so much to get feedback on ideas, just to share cool stuff we like. What archetypes do you support that no one else does? Which familiar archetypes do you run with...

Oh man I played Esperzoa and Glaze Fiend in Affinity when I couldn't afford Ravagers... Legacy Affinity I did not win games. It does seem like a really cool signpost card for this as a theme in draft though, as well as being an absolute beast in combat. Could do an Esper Glinthawk deck or...

It's interesting you mention those, as they were a hail-mary attempt to support a pet card of mine (Zombie Trailblazer.dec used to tear up my friends kitchen tables) and have actually gotten some play. We've only gotten two RL drafts in with the list at the moment, neither of which were after...

I choose to interpret it as being still all old and shitty after he dug it up in the Fallaji desert - given the Unearth, I'm assuming it's that specific dragon engine. Or maybe OG Phyrexia was overhyped and could have been taken out by like, a rampaging Craw Wurm. Either/or. I am looking forward...

Why, so you can open blind bags at $999 a pop hoping for that piece of paper with the picture you want! If you buy dirty filthy proxies you actually just get the thing you wanted to buy, with none of the extra bonus pieces of paper with pictures that you didn't want. On a serious note, missed...

I mean, I ran Hanweir Garrison without the Battlements, I'll happily run the Engine without Mishra. And then I'll probably run Mishra anyway cause a bad Hellrider is still a good enough card in my mid-power cube and I'm a sucker for legendary creatures featuring characters I like. Then I'll...

I mean, all the cards that existed then exist now. Sure they've been outclassed by modern design philosophy, but this is a curated format. What once was can be again, but with the benefit of hindsight and a much larger card pool. No, I don't think this approach will ever be good in even a...
