I have to bet someone here has a foil Diminish. There's only 2 listed in the H/W search and of course the wants they have, I don't have.If any one has one that isn't listed, I'd love to trade for it (and other stuff of course). Kinda a birthday present and the birthday is in 3 weeks. __________________ NEQUAQUAM VACUUM My girlfriend does good work Give me your Sleight of Minds M:tG set printing and spreadsheet utility

this is how I've always seen his sig: http://images.stampwants.com/adcw5.img I've NEVER seen his sig like that. I could be wrong, but I'd certainly think it was a fake sig.

With a power-ed cube such as yours, I think it'd benefit your games to shrink the amount of cards in your cube. I think cutting 15-20 cards from each color wouldn't be bad. Cards don't get better than Ancestral Recall and Black Lotus, etc. In fact, the power-level of cards after that tier of cards drops very sharply. By shrinking your cube, you raise the average power-level of the cards players draft and make it easier to compete. For example, stuff like Arrest and Dismiss can easily go.

I was thinking of dropping at least 10 cards from each color. Nostolgia makes it hard for me to cut stuff like Morphling but i know he has to go. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 10000+ posts 3rd in posts in Ontario 15th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

It sure does not have to go. I have been a hardcore cube fanatic for years now, and I play a lot with my powered cube. I would probably still run morphling at the 360 card level

just at a glance, I would easily drop these before morphling (not in any particular order): blue blast, blue sun's zenith, braingeyser, careful consideration, hinder, legacy's allure, aeon chronicler, arcanis, brine elemental, fathom seer, magus of the future, master transmuter, riftwing cloudskate, teferi, tradewind rider, wonder, vesuvan shapshifter, sunder, twincast, tidings

You are right the brine elemental/shapeshift combo never works. Some of the cards i see above are hard to cut others pretty easy EDIT!: Made a backup of my previous doc and now have a "Cards to cut" one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlHIOoL0opWbdEVvM3dpQXFVYXZDSGlWbGlXNEM4NHc&hl=en#gid=0 __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 10000+ posts 3rd in posts in Ontario 15th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

So im slow, and just noticed that the DD: Ajani vs Nicol Bolas has been released. Is it just me that thinks its unimpressive? The 2 planeswalkers seem to be the only reason to get them. Or did i miss something?

And how does it even make sense? Isn't Bolas the super big badass? This is like STAR WARS: LANDO VS DARTH VADER.

Nicol Bolas's +ability says "Kill Ajani" so it's pretty obvious who actually wins that fight.

Legacy's Allure is a cube staple, never should cut. Tidings, Psionic Blast, Aeon Chronicler, Magus of the Future, Vesuvan Shapeshifter, Careful Consideration are all better than Morphling. Morphling is pretty much a big do-nothing. It doesn't get played until turn 6 usually to protect it. Which at that point, Sphinx of Jwar Isle is simply way better. If you keep Morphling for nostalgia, that's alright and fun. At least you're real about Morphling being a crappy cube card. Which he was well before the M10 rules changes.

How the blazes is a 1W 3/3 that you lose 1 life on your upkeep remotely a white card? Well it's in Innistrad.

I have a cube quite similar to this: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=198041This guy has a very top tier cube, and gives great explanations for cube inclusions and exclusions. I also think legacy's allure is a terrible cube card at that power level. It is way too slow and I would definitely play confiscate and take possession way before I played legacy's allure, and I don't even play those.

edit: whtwlf's cube is really quite good, I agree there. klug's cube is really good as a peasent cube. Adam Styborski does a pretty fun pauper cube.quote: Originally posted by Volcanon: How the blazes is a 1W 3/3 that you lose 1 life on your upkeep remotely a white card? Well it's in Innistrad.
The transformed card you are talking about is actually black, not white, which makes a great deal of sense considering the flavor of the card is a possessed (human) girl.
