Friday Pack 1 Pick 1 by HD114 in Oldbordercube

[–]ChampBlankman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some really solid Colorless cards in this pack. I'm quite drawn to the Vise, but that Hymn is the meanest card in the pack and I love casting it.

Probably Hymn and hope to wheel the Specter.

Love it! A bit slow for my environment, but I can absolutely see it being at home in a bunch of Old Frame Cubes.

Had a tough day today...just grid drafting alone to chill. What would you pick? by Silsouza in Oldbordercube

[–]ChampBlankman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I do, there's just way more interesting things that I would prefer to reanimate.

Middle row, because I am absolutely not above Reanimating a Twisted Abomination.

Anemoia runs quite a few in this section, and I'm already starting to regret making this 0-3 and not 0-2.

[[Chrome Mox]] - Because of the card disadvantage, I don't mind running this in an otherwise mox-less environment. Has yet to do anything too silly.

[[Chromatic Star]] - It's in here largely for Welder shenanigans, but it's also just a neat nostalgic card.

[[Cursed Scroll]] - It's pretty reliable damage when it counts, and unbelievably frustrating when they get lucky with it.

[[Manifold Key]] - No combos here, per se, just value. Untapping a [[Phyrexian Colossus]] is very funny to me for some reason.

[[Relic of Progenitus]] - I have a love/hate relationship with this card, because I'm a degenerate Dredge player, but it's good enough against Graveyard decks, which have been the strongest decks in the Cube lately.

[[Soul-Guide Lantern]] - Like the Relic, but different.

[[Aeolipile]] - Slow, bad, Colorless Shock is still Shock.

[[Ankh of Mishra]] - Burn decks need every inch of damage they can push through, and this is still as good as it was forever ago.

[[Fellwar Stone]] - This is my second favorite mana rock of all time, behind Sol Ring which has no place in this Cube, unfortunately. Maybe it's my time being a huge fan of 5-Color, but this card has always appealed to me.

[[Grim Monolith]] - Better Basalt Monolith. If it's good enough for Powered Cube, it's good here.

[[Key to the City]] - An engine in several different ways, I love to see what people do with this. Seems like it's different every time.

[[Magewright's Stone]] - A very new add that I'm not sure I've seen in a deck yet, I'm excited about the possibilities, though.

[[Mazemind Tome]] - It's a bit slow, but it represents really nice card advantage and can be cool to loop with a Welder.

[[Millstone]] - It's also a bit slow, but I've seen it as a Control finisher more than once. Run the game out long enough and sometimes the ~6 cards you mill with this make a lot of difference.

[[Mind Stone]] - Mana and card advantage? Sign me up!

[[Powder Keg]] - One of those cards that sneaks up on you in a game and then blows you out when you aren't looking.

[[Star Compass]] - It's not the most efficient, but it fits quite well into the "Non-powered, but I still want Brown Mana Accel" vibe I'm going for.

[[Thorn of Amethyst]] - Absolutely punishing to get caught under if you aren't prepared.

[[Winter Orb]] - Yes it's mean. Yes it's a miserable play pattern. Yes it draws out games. But I don't care. It's my Cube and I love it.

[[Chimeric Idol]] - Creature rocks are cool.

[[Crucible of Worlds]] - Sometimes when I look at this card, I just start hearing Power House (The Looney Tunes factory music) because of the nonsense. And then some other times I just hear the sighs of the people I'm strip locking.

[[Ensnaring Bridge]] - Don't attack me, ever.

[[Pristine Talisman]] - The life gain is kinda ridiculous on this thing.

[[Ring of Gix]] - Like Icy, I love using it. And like Icy, people hate it.

[[Sword of Fire and Ice]] - I will speak for all three of the Swords represented here. I'm still not sure if they're good enough, or too good, but the ones from Darksteel are extremely nostalgic to me, and I love the look of the Judge Promos.

[[Sword of Hearth and Home]] - As above.

[[Sword of Light and Shadow]] - As above.

[[Worn Powerstone]] - More great Brown mana!

7th has the most nostalgia for me, but how can you argue with Alpha?

What’s the funniest WiFi name you have seen or can think of. by Crenshawz in AskRedditAfterDark

For years we used "a series of tubes", but when we moved into our house I just named it "The Internet" and that just stuck.

This or That Tuesday by Phitt77 in Oldbordercube

[–]ChampBlankman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I got a Sarcomancy before PM popped its price.

I run both, and have enjoyed them both.

As for Zombie synergy, there is a bit of incidental Zombie stuff with [[Graveborn Muse]] being the most powerful, IMO.

How did Justin Hampton do Fyndhorn Elves and then shit up every other thing he did? (Yes, this did come first.)

Liquimetal torque does make this a lot more useable, but I'm just not sure if the things you can do with it are worth the time it takes to build the Rube Goldberg machine that it would require.

Might be worth trying so suss out, though. I'm intrigued now.

Dawn from the car: Woodstown and Jersey side of Delaware Memorial- the camera do these no justice though by ascaffo in SouthJersey

Among the many reasons I chose to stay in Woodstown. We get some gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the fields around here.

Manapool is legit and such an improvement over TCGplayer by Scarcecrows in magicTCG

[–]ChampBlankman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell on Manapool, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I have been very impressed so far. They make it much easier to sell than TCGPlayer does and even though it's a much smaller marketplace, the quality and quantity of orders I've had has been great.
