Dies to Removal

Pretty much exaclty what thrillho said. I used to shark the shit out of people and make a ton, but it savaged our group and frankly people stop trading with you after a time. One of my favorite tricks was to arrange a massive stack of cards we each wanted from each other and then pull three cards fr...

to answer your "things you could add" question. An analysis of fetching and just how minimal the effect usually is would be a pretty sweet thing to cover.

poggydude

is sol ring really not good enough? it seems a kicker deck could use it as a build around. it definitely is much MUCH worse, but i feel like it still slots in pretty well.

poggydude

also axioms build a system, they dont, however, define every system ever. Yu can have more than one axiomatic system

poggydude

saying cubing is best is singleton is on the same level as two points form a straight line is a bit ridiculous.

poggydude

virtually all full sets go ip once they are no longer drafted, iirc.

poggydude

how is singleton not arbitrary...

poggydude

it isnt mine, followthereaper and some other dude has one, google myr servitor cube.

mine wont be built for a few months

poggydude

im actually pretty happy with either but land is preferred by me by a slight margin. Enchantments have basically been done by CoW since that was pretty much a colorless enchantment. Lands could be fetched, they could make it into a ton of decks or they could even do something other than produce mana...

poggydude

so we have a runoff and i guess the two options have team names.

im with team jacob

poggydude

i put out feelers in my group for myr servitors stating id give a dollar rare from my box for each one i was brought. Got a reply that day saying "ill be collecting my 74 dollar rares". O_o

it will be developed like a real set, but it will have a bunch of sets worth of bombs making it a rather unique experience methinks.

Also my college group sucks about cube sometimes, i feel with a good LGS cubing will be better, also once employed it will also be better

poggydude

I can imagine cubes that would prefer two hymn to tourachs rather than suboptimal discard to fill that theme(probably in larger cubes only) in retrospect the green ramp example was half baked :p Im just starting cube design but once i get out of college i will hopefully hit this full force. Speaking...

poggydude

As I said the default of singleton is super solid, no arguments there. Glad to see that for themed cubes you can see singleton being broken :). The main reason to break the singleton rule is to push some kind of theme even if it is in a more traditional cube. Adding storm to a traditional cube and b...

poggydude

the card pool of magic cards that are strong enough in a slot are not always vast enough to push the strategies you want at least at singleton. Again, how is 2 arbitrary but singleton sacred? Wizards is likely going to make mechanics that work better in plurality but not enough to support the strate...

poggydude

Also, i fail to see how the number 1 is any less arbitrary...

poggydude

you run two because you want to keep a certain amount of variance while still enabling the strategy. that's like saying how does 1 faithless looting help graveyard strategies, or why not cut careful study since adding it is an "arbitrary" change and unlikely to help the strategy enough. Mo...

poggydude

it's not THAT unstable, especially when compared to the glass cannon combo decks it is actually kinda reasonable.

Yeah BTE allows for a ton of nonsense

poggydude

some effects do not have enough of a plurality yet in current design, red looters are way behind rit now so i can see running 2 faithless lootings to help push graveyard strategies among other things. Im not trying to argue that YOU need to break the rule, im trying to argue that having the rule as ...

poggydude

foil jap thundermaw or dont even bother building a cube

poggydude

maro also said that if a rule becomes more detrimental than helpful it needs to be scrapped. People when designed pauper cubes or peasan cubes(and sometimes regular cubes) would say that they needed another basic land finder but before evolving wilds they just run on terramorphic, with wilds out the...

poggydude

some of those cards are in english, gross

poggydude

it also allowed for a fringe all-in storm build to emerge using BTE, priest of urabrask, goblin bushwhacker and strom entity to create an absurd army by turn 3

poggydude

i dont believe that you actually have pimp cards

poggydude

Agreed, it looks as though the result of the first vote will be land, im looking forward to how wizards will handle the future steps in this because im pretty sure they will work to throw some curveballs at us.

poggydude

How is attempting to answer a question detrimental? I can see immediatelyacting upon an answer being detrimental but just performing analysis is rarely detrimental. Basically I'd simply give double copies to an effect that is needed in multiples but not a blowout. Ie rampant growth, certain black di...

poggydude

the variance argument makes sense, i disagree with the balance argument because it is a cop out. If done conservatively it seems like a good way to improve the cube in a way that strictly adhering to the singleton rule does not allow. Some effects need duplicates where they dont exist. Once the rule...

poggydude

i play pod regularly, i agree that biomancer seems terrible, but thalia IS a pod target for eggs matchups, it's one of the few ways to interact with that deck

poggydude

i feel you probably have a bit of time to enjoy its high. Id wait to see what scg restocks them at at the very least

poggydude

just because wizards hosts the images for free doesnt mean cockatrice has free reign to take and use them.

poggydude

itt Maverick playing the role of legal scholar. Oscar incoming

poggydude

ive been working on trying to aquire modern, e format, in its entirety mostly from all the time ive spent on it through cockatrice, i understand all the time ive been on cockatrice could be classified as "playing" but it lead to actual purchases. im not bemoaning hasbros decision, not only...

poggydude

MAYBE THE MYTHIC LAND IS THE DRAGON'S MAZE...

probably

poggydude

i recall you stating that you had a desire to make storm a thing in this cube, iirc you said originally youd consider the endeavor a failure if you could not. i know you have done well enabling it somewhat i am wondering if you have tried fitting in suspend cards to push this further, i remember bac...

poggydude

clearly a perfect match for sam blacks legacy deck

poggydude

sick card for my type 4 stack

poggydude

a clown among toads

poggydude

make it indestructable, pestilence.

poggydude

so this isnt really soeculation, this is more of a notice, daybreak coronet's price went full retard, so scour your dollar rare box for them. I dont want to see any of you guys getting ripped

poggydude

i approve
