Well, looking at the cube now, a lot of the best cards in the game are missing. Even among lands, there's no Academy, no Workshop, no fetchlands. The two strongest picks in that section are definitely Strip Mine and Library.

The mud and dung and filth heaped around the foul beast is too much. The hero's boots are becoming stuck. He is in danger of the dragon striking now. Still, he plods on. The monster must be slain. UUD, Reflecting Pool, done. Sage Hand: 6 Library: 32 In Play: -(U) Gemstone Mine (3 counters)...

Maybe he was actually working...

At long last, our hero advances cautiously on the evil, putrescent dragon. preparing to slay the beast and save the innocent villagers from its destructive ways. Gemstone Mine, go. Stephen Buddha-Christ Hand: 6 Library: 33 In Play: -(U) Gemstone Mine (3 counters) Graveyard: RFG: Mark...

Have I been inadvertently ducking you? I mean, I know I'll lose. It's destiny. I wish I had Melkor's deck instead of mine. Oh well, let's get on this. I shall be slain with honor (or more like lying there helplessly after Ransac shuts down my combo and finishes me off slowly and painfully). I'll...

The card advantage is only insane in the long term. Tempo is the whole reason Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox, Mana Vault, Dark Ritual, and Lotus Petal are good cards. You were playing Library in an aggro deck? And you held back, purposely putting yourself at a tempo advantage to keep an active...

I understand the sentiment of being frustrated by drafting, especially since I've done it so little (including here and in meatspace). I do want to try it more (here, at least) in the future, but it is kind of weird and probably takes some getting used to. With constructed though, well, it...

Untap, upkeep grabbing 3 Plains from my library with Land Tax, draw, Plains, Scroll Rack, discard down to 7, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 7 Library: 51 In Play: (U) Mt (U) Stomping Ground (T: Add R or G to my mana pool. As ~ CIP, I may pay 2 life. If I don't, ~ CIP tapped) Graveyard: RFG...

Well, there's Survival, but it was pretty far down in his pick order and seems like it would be someone's first or second pick. Well, we have the benefit of hindsight because he already said someone snagged it early on, but it seems like such a powerhouse for this sort of format...

Apprentice has a "Roll a Die" option, but I am doing it the old-fashioned way because icosahedrons are awesome... 18.

I talked to Al0ysiusHWWW just now. He had to leave for work, but he said that he's totally up for this, so that's an 8th person.

Speaking of which, Cugel will permanently switch to the longbow keeping the shortbow only as a backup for now.

UUD, Swamp, Gloomlance the Steadfast Guard, causing you to discard Neck Snap, if I'm not mistaken. Done after that. Spidey: 19 Hand: 0? Library: 18 In Play: (U,U,U,U,U) Plains x5 Holy Strength (Enchanted creature gets +1/+2) (U) Honor Guard (1/1, W: ~ gets +0/+1 ueot) (T) Suntail Hawk (1/1...

Hm. That seems to be a good point. The egregious offenders would already be taken care of. I'm still hesitant, but you might be right... For DF's benefit, here's the Legacy banned list... Amulet of Quoz Ancestral Recall Balance Bazaar of Baghdad Black Lotus Black Vise Bronze Tablet Channel...

UUD, Swamp, Moonglove Winnower, done. Spidey: 19 Hand: 1 Library: 19 In Play: (U,U,U,U) Plains x4 Holy Strength (Enchanted creature gets +1/+2) (T) Honor Guard (1/1, W: ~ gets +0/+1 ueot) (T) Suntail Hawk (1/1, Flying) (U) Steadfast Guard (3/4, Vigilance) *Strengthed* Graveyard: Soaring...

Hm. Maybe I'm overestimating these decks, as this is a limited format rather than a constructed one. But discarding a card by exceeding maximum hand size on purpose seems quite suboptimal for a reanimator deck. I mean, I've done it, but I'd very much prefer not to, as it's serious tempo...
