    Lucre's Pet Project

    Hello my pretty princes and princesses, if you've spent any time in CBS lately you'd probably know I'm trying to put a modernish list together and I've been trying to solicit your help! I'm really just throwing spaghetti at a wall right now and seeing what sticks, but hopefully I'll be...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Series Preface: {B/R} Lets talk about Rakdos{B/R} -No, not cackler, think more like Kolaghan's Command. I've found it's really hard to draft this deck in riptide cubes and slightly easier to draft it in Monolith Cubes and in Peasant. One of the biggest problems is how aggressive BR...

    General Bad Idea: Cutting Colours

    Whether it be for your mini cubes or just as a neat idea to increase density and increase synergy the notion that white is the least synergistic and most easily replicated colour keeps on becoming apparent to me. Lets face it white doesn't do anything particularly unique except hit a broad...

    General Local Cube Championship Coverage

    My buddy Myles (Eric's met this bloke) puts together a cube league and started running casted footage of some matches on his youtube channel with my other old pal Imbrahim. Pretty good production so far, but it's far from a live cast, and you pick up that the players made some issues. Anyway...

    General Ugliest Magic Card

    Well what do you think? I'm sure I can do better but this one has been coming to mind recently. It's hard for me to think of the last one that was so inelegant: My current runner up: Gimme your best shot! Or tell me why these abortions or other ones in the list don't offend you bodily.

    General Atelier: Devoted to You

    So maybe a couple of you louts have heard about my current dumb idea to build a set or whatever (curated draft format maybe) around hybrid mana, devotion and split spells. You can probably imagine the sort of cool ambiguous draft format that might result from that. I figured we ought to have a...

    General Non Blue Control in Cube

    Title more or less says it all, does anyone have any hot tips for making these sorts of decks work in cube? I've certainly played my share of real control decks and things that can be equated to control decks in constructed formats that didn't have any blue cards but they seem to show up a lot...

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    I think I'm pretty clear. Maybe we can turn this into a forum game or something at some point but there are a lot of cards that feel like they had something loosened before the day of the big race that we can't help but see the glowing potential in. Can you think of what should have been? Are...

    General Inspiration: Environment and Card Design Ideas

    I like to get some good unfinished chunks of ideas to play with, it tends to get me thinking in the way other people do and appreciating other parts of the game I might not normally notice. I thought I'd ask my riptide pals what parts of magic really get them going and what they feel like they...

    A place for input:

    I was thinking I might make a space to ram the one thing I can think of so far. 1) I was excited when I found you could adjust the pack sizes in your excellent draft simulator but then I couldn't mess around with the number of packs I'd be seeing. I wanted to get a better feel for 4 11 card...

    General Original Draft Formats, Custom Sets, etc

    Does anyone have any hot links to information on these topics? Anyone got a good community of homebrew draft set brewers or some lists to glance at. I'm new to this stuff and I hear things every once in a while but I have no idea where to start looking. This can be a place to discuss those...
