I'm not much a fan of most landfall cards, though Lotus Cobra is cool, and a lands theme is pretty hard to implement otherwise. There's just not that much support for it. Maybe you could think up some custom cards. I personally liked landstorm (copy this spell for each land card you played this...

It's a small miracle that we haven't been bashing each other's heads in by now given today's average online environment. Hearing (as in "listening to") other's opinions has never hurt anyone (quite the opposite actually), even if those opinions don't directly sway your worldview. Alas, I fear...

There are a few new warriors for the Paragon to play with, but the Grizzly Bear body has always been unappealing to me.

Haha, I just played Ticket to Ride with my wife the other day. It's a great game :) A friend of mine who owns (and plays) a lot of games (coming from someone who owns a fair number of games himself) dislikes Terra Mystica because he feels the scoring tracks are too disconnected. I feel it fits...

Some of my favorites are: Race for the Galaxy (tactical card game, flows really well despite apparent complexity, space-themed) Suburbia (boring looking but surprisingly fun city-building game, sound mechanics, tension between wanting to grow and sustaining your growth) Nefertiti (Ancient...

We have a "Zwarte Piet" ("Black Pete") discussion going on in the Netherlands, which has reached quite a heated and unfriendly level, and mirrors the GamerGate discussion in parts. Basically this: Grown-up colored and white people are arguing whether Zwarte Piet (a historical figure that, for...

The beauty of excluding ally colored gold cards is that then you can pair any gold card that shares a color with another one (say {g}{u} with {u}{r}) and arrive at a supported three color gold combination. If you start including allied gold cards this is no longer the case, and that might create...

Deftblade Elite Or is this just a worse (because more expensive) Gideon's Lawkeeper?

Wow. I mean, the guy has a point, but it's buried beneath a load of offensive jammering and the very, very misguided notion that it is OK to wish people into a concentration camp just because you disagree (however vehemently). I'm pretty sure it wouldn't convince me had I been a "GamerGating"...

I <3 sunburst, it's the very mechanic that got me hooked on Magic again after a 2,5 year hiatus. Pentad Prism into Bringer of the Blue Dawn is still one of my favorite things ever!

I love it when a plan comes together. Genju of the Cedars has been in my cube for a while now because it's a nice returning enchantment for the constellation subtheme :D

I think the answer is zero. Allied color cards can only be played by one wedge. If you just use the enemy color pairs, people will drift towards your wedges organically, because that's where to guilds overlap.

Thanks. Scales should be at its best in a slower environment full of +1/+1 counters. If it can't shine in KTK draft, I doubt it can shine in my cube.

I toyed around with this concept for a while, and I ended up with a cube that's definitely less gold than I would have though, though it is obviously more gold than your average cube. There's 5/450 3-color cards for each of the five combinations, and 16/450 two-color cards for each of the five...

If it puts two counters on your creatures, I think you're breaking even. If it puts on more, you're doing really well for yourself. It's such a low mana card, but I think it can an be quite ridiculous in the right deck.

I finally found the time to reshape my cube, mostly using cards I had lying around, so some thing might seem odd (such as no Vindicate or Fire//Ice). The "end" result can be viewed here: http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/17874 I took the time to up the card count to 450 as well, to provide...

Damnit, I wish I could have those conversations at work :D My vote goes to Treasure Cruise in any deck that can enable it (which is most blue decks). Ancestral Vision is only better on turn 1.

Ok, I wasn't necessarily looking for a mana creature, more for something for the green deck to do on turn 1 (which is usually playing a mana dork). Ultimately I put in hardened scales I'm curious how that will perform!
