Anyways, I'm thinking of building a Zur deck because of these pulls (second Bitterblossom and a Daybreak Coronet just scream "build Zur!"). It would be fun to make an Esper deck finally, but I don't have a large Playgroup (it's just me and that buddy, who doesn't always play EDH because games tend to be really one-sided, depending on whether or not he's borrowed one of my decks), so making another EDH seems a little pointless.
Damn, your playgroup is you and one other guy who doesn't always like to play EDH? That's rough man.
It's just how this cookie ended up crumbling. Actually, my buddy tried to get a Tokyo playgroup started by post g here on MTGS, but of all the people who responded, most of them ended up being die-hard Modern players who didn't even want to try other formats. Now, the Modern people just play by themselves, and my buddy and I play together.
Urgh, does anyone here have any experience in building an EDH-cube?
I may have mentioned this already, but I thought that building one would get rid of several problems at once:
1) I have piles of pretty foils, but no decks for them
2) I have piles of "that's kinda cool but not very comptetitive" cards that I'd like to use one day
3) It would liven up our meta. Drafting a deck and playing with it means that no one knows exactly what to expect and there won't be T1 infinite combos...

You should definitely head to the Community Thread over at the EDH section. Pretty sure there are quite a number of people with EDH-Cubes and willing to give advice there.
EDIT: Apparently they said there was en error when I posted, but the post still appears here fine, although it doesn't the thread itself doesn't update itself with this post as the latest post. Weird...
EDIT 2: Never mind, apparently the thread updated after I did the first edit wondering why it didn't.

Man, that's too bad. There aren't any EDH playgroups over there? I thought it may have been popular there too.
Commander cube? The only similar thing I've played with was a "cube" consisting of all cards except basic lands from the original Commander box set put together. (And thus it's not "Commander" in the true sense because there are still five Sol Rings for example, and you're allowed to run multiples if you have them.) So... not much experience from me either, sorry.
Unrelated stuff now...
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has a rock instrumental piece called "The Mountain" (based on Hall of the Mountain King), and just today Isaac Shepard made a piano piece called "Forest". Do we know any other songs for the other three basic land types?
And... Nirvana has a song called "On a Plain", though I'm not sure if there are other ones that match better.
(And for the record, Jane's Addiction has a Mountain Song as well.)
Deck building challenge? Take a MM2015 booster, open it, and make a deck that features the rare card from that pack. (If you don't want to use up a new booster for this, take the last one you opened.)
With Midnight Banshee and Inexorable Tide, you could go for a Grixis Wither deck that could be flavourful and fun. Red offers more up the wither route, and Blue has a good amount of proliferate stuff.
@Bur:
There is the Hidden Gems Thread... but personally, I think Thoughtpicker Witch should see more play. That card is bonkers in a token/control deck.

From what I can tell, the mono to multicolored ratio should be 2/3. With... You know... Lands...

"Island Song" is the end theme to adventure time.

Mono red spirit/arcane planeswalker tribal led by Ishi-Ishi, Akki Crackshot.
You could do what I'm working on... Kaalia Cleric Tribal, Shadowborn Apostle style!
I do like Lasersharp's idea of ripping a pack, but you could base the deck around any card in the pack, not just the rare.
EDIT
@ Bur Any chance of an update to the front page? Those of us that came in after Jan. 28 aren't even new members yet!
Midnight Banshee
I can do that.
EDIT: Can I use the foil of the foil was a rare? Cuz then it's Inexorable Tide. And that's cooler.

I thought you wanted a challenge?
*cough* Of course! I never forget these things! *cough* (If you want your name in the first post, shout "Ahoy!")
Btw, what's your favourite "this seems a cool card but I haven't had a chance to use it in EDH yet" or "this should be played more in EDH" -card?
I'm planning to build an EDH cube and this is a perfect chance to those kinds of cards!

I use this guy in EDH a lot, one of my favs for mono blue.
I'm willing to try almost anything in EDH, so there's not much I haven't seen.
@Bur "Ahoy!"

...Why not both?
Sure, use either one if you don't feel like using both.

Of course you can use the foil, and that's not a bad two cards to choose from!
Bur, can I take Bladewing the Risen (my very first commander way back when) for the first page? Thanks!

Also, I'd really need someone representing out clan. Anyone interested? You just need an open mind and bit of time.
Also, what happened to Human After All. He was with you last year for clan contest mafia... I Vote Jr to be the mafia rep.
