OK, so. I saw this last night, and...I'm not exactly sure how I feel. I really hate to be a downer on something like this, but there were some aspects that disappointed me. Overall, I did enjoy it! The Good: They really nailed the atmosphere. The props, the setting, the scenery--all...

As some of you may remember, I've been testing "Utility Everything Draft." It features about 30 narrow nonland cards that support very specific strategies. It has had some benefits but feels very inelegant. I was thinking about modular cubes and came up with an idea last night. Shuffle up...

Unfortunately this seems a bit more difficult to do than artifacts since enchantments aren't colorless. A few people gave some great suggestions in my cube thread, so I'll be putting those up on here too. Some possible routes worth exploring include constellation-type strategies, auras, or...

This idea has been brought up before: can we find a reasonable way to include nonland cards in the Utility Land Draft that are interesting, but much too narrow to occupy regular cube slots? Currently, the way I run my ULD is to have certain cards during the draft that allow you to search...

So I've posted this cube before under the thread title "1997 Cube", but I decided to make a new thread since it has a new name and has evolved tremendously since its first iteration. This is a project a friend of mine and I have been working on for some time now. The card pool begins with...

Which ones are interesting? Which ones are unfun? How many is too many? Here's what I'm currently running in my cube. Mono-colored ajani steadfast Jace Beleren Liliana of the veil Chandra, pyromaster Garruk relentless I'm pretty happy with these. It also pleases me that it's the original...

So last night I watched Nymphomaniac with a friend, and as expected, Lars Von Trier made me feel very uncomfortable. Has anyone else seen this?

I'm currently running Primal Command, but my playgroup thinks it's garbage. I'm starting to wonder if they're right. What are some good noncreature options for green at this point? Also, how often do you see nongreen players running Birthing Pod? I currently have it classified as colorless.

My birthday/Christmas is coming up shortly and relatives have been curious about gift ideas. As with most years, I desire more games. I find that boardgamegeek is a pretty reliable source for new games, but I trust the riptide community more for obvious reasons. Here's what I own that's...

Twice each year, a dozen or so friends and I have a tradition of renting a large getaway house for a long weekend which has been dubbed the Weekend of Destruction. (This upcoming weekend will be like our 9th one.) At these events we will spend our days and nights drafting, cubing, playing...

So a friend of mine and I have been working on a cube with the intent of eliciting maximum nostalgia. Currently we've decided that our cutoff would be Weatherlight. (We're going to try to avoid cards with art that references the Rath story for flavor purposes.) I know people have said that...

I'd like to compile together and discuss the various types of formats people have enjoyed for fewer than 8 players. Battle Box Micro-Sealed Winston Winchester Solomon BANG! Grid Quilt ...I know there's a lot more, so I'll edit this. -------------------------------------------- A 2-player...

I was thinking last night about the decision to use 15 card packs and how arbitrary that is. Indeed, when you take into account that even retail limited only really uses 14-card packs, it makes even less sense. I'm going to pull a number out of my ass and say that on average the last 2 cards in...

My binders of "stuff I might want to put into the cube" are practically overflowing, so I decided it was time to do a purge. Here is a pile of rares etc. that I'm pretty sure will never again set foot in my cube. Since many of them are worth something, I may go ahead and sell them. If I am...

We all know the tragedy of being stuck at 5 or 7 drafters. Fortunately there is a cure: BANG! Draft. Disclaimer: this is a multiplayer format. I usually don't enjoy multiplayer, but this format is an exception. I implore you to read on. Anyone who has ever played BANG! will immediately...

I've begun to implement the mechanic of "draft one copy, receive an extra copy after the draft." Here's what I'll be testing out first (may be a bit aggro-heavy, but aggro can't seem to win a goddamn draft anyway): Soldier of the PantheonSteppe LynxChampion of the ParishDiregraf...

I'm continually looking for new cards to exploit for the sake of keeping things fresh and interesting. When I look through people's cube lists I always find a bunch of new cards that I never would have thought to consider. Here are some unusual cards in my cube that have been interesting...

Welcome! I run an unpowered, 450-card cube. My cube list: http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/34 These are some of the main themes: Sacrifice effects Landfall Devotion (particularly in black) Double strike Prowess Artifact synergy Constellation As you can see in the CubeTutor list, cards...

Hey guys, I don't have time at the moment to do an extensive write-up but I'm looking for ideas for making Madness work in Cube. How intense would the power level have to be, what else does it overlap nicely with, etc. I also plan to make "graveyard matters" more of a theme in my cube, which...
