    Okay, there are two really interesting points here. I'll start with the latter: I don't think the 4-of rule hurts fringe decks. A ton of fringe decks rely on a high density of obscure interactions, and without four of each they can't really pad out properly. The closer you go to singleton with a...

    What's to disincentivize somebody from just camping on it until they have more information? The later you can make your utility picks, the better. I think if people know what they're doing the ULD is pretty fast. It went relatively quickly on Sunday, and that had the added stupid layer of a...

    I am in the Chris Taylor camp here. Cube is a super creature-heavy format, and often the windows for playing Ninja are super inefficient like with your 1-drop on Turn 2. Cycling for two mana on Turn 2 is not really a play most attacking decks want. It works well in, say, Spellstutter Sprite...

    Operation Blue Duals / non-blue Shocks has not proven itself to be terrible yet.

    Probably super easy. Any sac outlet will do it really, it doesn't have to be bombardment. Falkenrath, Carrion Feeder, uh, some other card I'm not remembering.

    These conspiracy cards are uh, well, I can't imagine them not being a headache with Cockatrice.

    Is there a way to price these activations so that they're not garbage?

    I like how the title of this thread makes it seem like we have an emotional self-help board.

    I'm going to need you to take that card and shove it wayyyy up your butthole.

    Put a stack on the table or a placeholder that says "Temple" and let the players redeem it afterwards. Same for Fastlands.

    I just added a ton of cards from this thread to my Polycube (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkmGq9EqXDoidFBlWEZMNms0Nzg5WEtWNUpiOVZnU2c&usp=drive_web#gid=0) for testing. Anybody have more?
