Whenever I watch a MTGO Cube video I ask myself "are there more Planeswalkers in play than non-basic lands" and I'm usually disappointed.
I couldn't find our top of library thread. Somebody included this card in a submission:
Is this effect worth a card?

When did 2 mana Jace and 4 mana Jace start costing the same?

About 2 weeks ago?
Most of the reaction has been "2 mana walkers sure are fair"
Can you imagine if Tibbers had been playable?
"Deck don't work? Add Jace!" is back.
2-mana Jace is probably my favorite Cube card right now, and I would cry if I hadn't preordered him at like $15. I kind of wish I'd got a set so I could turn the others into some store credit for board games now.

Seriously, I usually don't complain about card prices and just bite the bullet ordering cards I know are going to go down in value, but this time thanks to Jace Skyrocketing in price, I probably saved money buying early (assuming I didn't want to wait for rotation to buy when MAYBE it would be cheaper).
i traded away both mine at $30, which i thought was very smart

I have some issues personally with this card as it wants a high density of creatures to do well and even then it seems like there are likely better options for card selection that don't squeeze out your spells. If it was just Scry 1 or something I'd probably be more tempted because then we have 1/1 token interactions to monopolize on, but as-printed it seems kinda weak for my tastes. It's been on my inspiration list for ages and it never tempts me. If anyone can get it to work, let me know, but I think it suffers from the Oversold Cemetery problem (a card I was once high on but have since come around on) of wanting to be in a creature-heavy deck and yet not really being strong enough to justify pushing out so many other non-creatures from the list.

I love the flipwalkers, I might just have to get a Nissa now
(tfw you open a foil Kytheon and it's not even worth 1/4 of a normal Jace)

I think I'd rather play with Sylvan Library or Mirri's Guile over Cream of the Crop
Guys I want to sell as many of my cards as I can right now. I'm always telling people to proxy stuff instead of buying, so the time has come to divest from this game. I mean seriously, I could sell one fetchland and that would pay for the coach to Paris. In fact, that's exactly what I have in mind. I met a rather nice lady there and I want to visit her. So it's time to sell these stupid pieces of cardboard.
Here's my list: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/1461
Some of it is already proxied, so just pm and ask if you're interested in anything. We can agree on prices/deals for multiple cards.
edit: I also have other cards, so if you're looking for anything, feel free to ask.

I've been long contemplating taking the transparencies to any card over X$ in my cube. I don't think I could bring myself to proxy the whole thing since each of these takes so long, but if I slash everything over 20$ or something I could make some real headway.
Maybe after I'm done moving

I'm trying out a second source for Chinese foil proxies, that may be an option for you guys. The fist place I tried ended up with a few really nice looking cards and some super blurry ones

@CT you might try my approach of paper cutout proxying the full cube and slowly taking transparencies to it when you find some idle time and want something mechanical to do to just shut your brain off. In large doses, foil proxying is torture. In small doses it can be a relaxing little hobby you do while you half-ass watch a show or some tournament coverage of whatever game you like.
I discovered that the big secret to decent paper proxies is setting your printer quality to "high". It makes a way bigger difference than quality paper. I'd imagine it consumes more ink, but I haven't noticed a dramatic difference. The biggest difference is that print time triples, but who cares, right?

Well I mean this is my cube, I have most of it already in foil
I dunno. I've made foil proxies of Goyf and Lilianna already, and I probably would have made one of Jace TMS if FTV20 hadn't come out, or Rolling Earthquake if Annihilation hadn't done the same thing.
Doa Thread idea: 10 most expensive cards in your cube
I won one from a draft and thought nothing of it, cut to two months ahead and I just traded that guy for like a deathrite shaman, noble hierarch, thoughseize and a bunch of other stuff. That price sky rockeded.

My top five are
All of those break $3, accept for chromatic star which is somehow almost $5.
This has me almost wanting to cut swiftspear now, as its not particularly good in cube.

Prowler is more than $3? When did that happen.
