    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Is there really enough advantage to the best case scenario of brain freeze over breaking // entering or glimpse the unthinkable or some other huge mill card to be worth the difference between their worst case scenarios? Sure, brain freeze supports storm, but unless you storm off with a count of...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    What about cage of hands?

    Card/Deck Spirits

    In the magic duels computer game at least, Bygone Bishop is the nuts. Gives weenie decks a way to easily refill and get ahead in card advantage. On a basically irrelevant note to cube, clues are great with Ghirapur Aether Grid.

    ... Yes?

    General Making control decks more interesting

    Is it possible to maybe have control decks be based more around synergy? Maybe even build arounds? For example, Laboratory Maniac turns drawing cards into a win condition. For an example that would only work in a very narrow type of cube, Ghirapur Aether Grid seems like a combination of win...

    Sets Spoilers Over Innistrad (Digest)

    I second the obscene value of Tireless Tracker. Drafted yesterday, and any game he wasn't removed within a turn or two of hitting the board, I won.

    General Fight Club

    Probably magnifying glass, especially if you have clue support or an artifact theme. 4 mana then 2 mana is just so much easier to activate than 7 mana. If your environment is really ramp heavy, then unstable obelisk may be better. Blow up their win con to clear the way for your win con.

    Lies. For my maximal benefit the good of all, everyone should engage in compassion training. :p

    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    Holy crap, topplegeist seems amazing. 1 mana removal spell that you can move around? Yes please.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    That definitely does seem to have a better average case scenario (assuming we count the planeswalker bit as trinket text which seems reasonable in a low power cube) since it's basically draw 3 discard 2 compared to draw 3 discard 3 (if you pitch attunement). But on the other hand, I dig how...

    Attunement It's the blue Faithless looting! Also triggers enchantress stuff.

    Article On Gender and Language

    It is only known as the thread-which-must-not-be-named. I don't think it was a scene; I mean, not saying it was pleasant, but I dunno if it should be. I thought it was roughly as constructive as you can realistically expect such things to be. It could have gone way, way worse; that's for...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I'll have you know I'm a fully grown cat in a superposition of dead and alive!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Ok, Riptide Shapeshifter is too cool. Like probably too high of a cmc to be good outside of a low power cube, but that's pretty sweet. Tutor + cheat into play card.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Words of War GRBS? Good? Bad? Terrible? I seriously can't tell. It seems interesting though.

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Seriously? I'm not even the person who brought up the relationship between overarching issues. It's unclear to me why you single me out in particular. I entered like two pages after the discussion had already started. I responded to someone else's claim that there was necessarily a connection...

    No. Sleep is unnecessary! The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! Pain is just a construct of the mind! Fine... I'll just go cry in my corner.

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    What I gathered from Wiki was that apple was a term used by one Native American in an attempt to disparage another Native American. Like calling a Black person an oreo or an Asian person a banana. And I think this meaning is pretty problematic because it implies that certain activities and...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Just so we're on clearer ground here, I'm at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and I am perfectly conversant in the ideas behind what they're doing. And I wasn't talking about their LGBT housing set up, I was talking about their language and careful PR control because somebody said...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Never change riptide lab. Never change. And just to be clear before I vomit text on the off-offtopic topic and probably make things even more heated, I'd like to state that my current favorite position on the offtopic topic is the name Fogliolands. As far as making things clearer slang though, I...
