    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Yeah, they're obviously not for direct comparison, just for general power-level anchoring because that's always the issue with these sort of things. Edit: to clarify, the question is whether or not it would be laughed out of any room containing Tireless Tracker.

    Chris, it's not the cards I'm buying, it's that new-card smell. MPC can't replicate that, so it's dead to me. (In all honestly, MPC is a beautiful thing and saves me a lot.)

    Dammit, don't convince me to spend money on fetches, Jason.

    General Fight Club

    If you're looking to establish the archetype, Aerialist is the clear winner here, as it's a threat. The bat is fine if you're looking to flesh out the archetype and have a surplus of slots, as it is flexible enough to be both a threat and an answer simultaneously, but it's definitely a reward...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    How is Elder of Laurels? I remember it being bonkers in ISD draft. Is it still good in Cube, or is it mostly too inefficient when played alongside, say, an Oran-Rief Ooze or even a Tireless Tracker? Obviously the latter is the high-water mark in terms of power in Green MV3 creatures, but I'm...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think that the fact that Reggie draws this much debate is what makes it a great Cube card regardless of where precisely it stands in your power band, tbh.* Having a card that requires extra thought is a big plus in my book. *Provided it's inside your power band, ofc. Which it probably is, as...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Reggie really changes in strength based on the availability of tokens and cheap removal, but it's almost always better Baneslayer than Baneslayer. Even if you're just chumping, he demands a sacrifice every turn or takes a third of your life, as opposed to most similar threats which will take a...

    Dammit, Vel, I'd hoped that this was another shitpost/groaner of a pun. This really stinks. (BTW, is Vel an okay nickname for you?)

    [Eldrazi Domain Seat C] Jason - what kind of monster doesn't like sandwiches?

    No. Edit: they would still be sad, because sandwiches are highly empathetic creatures.

    [Eldrazi Domain Seat C] Jason - what kind of monster doesn't like sandwiches?

    Look, sandwiches and me have a long history of mutual enmity, mostly due to the fact that a) I made my own in high school b) my parents only stocked low-fat/fat-free meat and cheese and the cardboard-tasting Arnold's whole-wheat bread and c) I was only ever allowed to put two paper-thin slices...

    General Renaming 'Breaking Singleton'

    If you're looking for a more positive spin, "Unrestricted" would work well! It even works within Magic's existing internal terminology.

    General Distanced Drafting--Online Cube League

    Hey Ravnic, great to see renewed interest! This kind of died out due to life getting crazy, but I'll be wrapping up grad school admissions around the end of the month so we'll try to get things restarted for June.

    RiptideLab's Most Liked Posts of 2015

    Is it possible to look at this data compared to other metrics of user activity? Also, I'd expect total likes to increase exponentially with activity, not linearly, as more people means not only more likes per post (because more people see any given post) but also more posts.
