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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...
