How many people play Cumber Stone?
This is about the same -- occasionally insane in draft, not particularly worthwhile in cube. Cute that it's a drain effect, but it also doesn't actually help your 2/2 attack through their 2/2 unlike Cumber Stone.

Does it matter? It's not like you're playing ~~REAL MAGIC~~ anyway -

Leelue posted a message on [[Peasant]] The Peasant Cube Discussion Thread (C/U/)Being able to tutor cards at fair prices fundamentally breaks the game, phitt. Saltmaster said so, and by disagreeing you have shown him the path to true cube nirvana.Posted in: Pauper & Peasant Discussion -

Purplemurasaki posted a message on [[Peasant]] The Peasant Cube Discussion Thread (C/U/)Posted in: Pauper & Peasant DiscussionQuote from SaltMaster 5000 »I'm fine with drawing fire, I just don't want to be banned. I don't know why you guys can't tolerate opposing view points, I don't want any of you guys banned.
You're just kinda shifting every topic into your views on magic players. I'm fine with contrarian opinions (even if I disagree with yours), but there's a time and place for them. You're taking a discussion about unequal colour numbers and moving that to your philosophical views on the magic community as a whole. Pauper isn't Peasant Cube. X-Wing: Miniatures isn't Peasant Cube. Whatever gameplay you think is non-interactive doesn't really exist in Peasant at a relevant level, so I fail to see how most of your points are relevant to Peasant Cube.
If you want to have a discussion on why Dash Hopes is good or why having only 3 white cards works I'm sure people will argue those points with gusto. But you seem to be mostly interested in going on about how mtg players hate mtg, which is both derailing the conversation and hardly a discussion worth having considering it seems pretty clear no one is going to change their minds.
Quote from SaltMaster 5000 »
Honestly this entire discussion is based on a false premise- ie that consensus is at all useful for cube construction which is a matter of personal taste. Considering that I disagree with this notion there is no way for me to express my views without drawing fire.
Cube construction is definitely personal taste and there is a lot of variation in that regard. But broadly speaking people want their cube to appeal to a large band of players. Doing efficient things, doing cool things, and doing powerful things are what people tend to enjoy (Spike, Johnny, and Timmy), so people will make their cube with those things in mind and try to allow players to do all 3. Allowing those things is what the consensus is for this community. If you don't agree with that consensus then it's likely you're not going to get much help from this board. -

If that's your argument, then maybe you should state it the first time rather than making broad, sweeping generalizations and assuming everyone can discern what you actually mean instead of going on what you actually wrote. Poor communication magnifies issues of misunderstanding. Contrarian statements that aren't accompanied by the underlaying reasoning are labelled as trolling because that's what they sound like.Quote from SaltMaster 5000 »
My argument is that people don't actually like playing the game or having to interact, just cheating at it with solitaire decks. That's an opinion I'm not allowed to express of course because solitaire decks have become hypernormalized, so you'll call me a troll even though it's something that I genuinely believe.Quote from FunkyDragon »
Alright, I know I'm taking the bait here, but this really proves to me that you don't enjoy playing Magic and are just trolling everyone. I've wondered for a while, but I think you've made it pretty obvious this time.Quote from SaltMaster 5000 »I don't really believe that most Magic players actually enjoy playing Magic
As you said, you've only been playing for a year and a half; that's not much experience. Additionally, I have to wonder about how diverse your playing group(s) is/are. You repeatedly make statements about Magic players not liking to play Magic and "anything Magic players hate is good for the game." Maybe it's not Magic players in general - maybe you just have a crap group that would rather be playing a different game.
Maybe in your group. Not in mine, and not in others that I've spoken with. I've been playing Magic for almost seventeen years, I've had four different play groups, as well as free-play at several LGSs, and sure, there are some toxic players who would rather play solitaire, but in my experience, they are not the norm, and their play style has not become normalized.solitaire decks have become hypernormalized
After having wasted several of your prime picks, it's not going to work out. You'll have been trolled by the cube designer who left red herrings instead of a legit draftable cube.Quote from SaltMaster 5000 »Quote from Leelue »" If you had 20% less red cards in proportion to other colors of cards, people would see less red cards and build their decks accordingly."
This is factually in error. The proportion of red cards being off by 20% could very well make red frequently unviable to draft any given night, but it could still give red the appearance of draftability in short, pack sized sample sizes.
If you see 3 red cards for P1p1 and 3 again in P1p2, you can get baited into thinking red, you know, exists.
Yeah, and then you won't see very many red cards and you'll have to draft other colors and it'll work out. -

calibretto posted a message on [[Peasant]] The Peasant Cube Discussion Thread (C/U/)Posted in: Pauper & Peasant DiscussionQuote from FunkyDragon »We used to have the Average MTGSalvation Peasant Cube thread, but it got deleted with the whole EU User GDPR law fiasco. It pointed to this cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/123651. When it was active, I would use the cubetutor feature to compare my cube with it to see if there was anything I was overlooking.
Speaking of, is anyone planning to maintain such a list either here or on MTG Nexus? Is anyone planning to go to MTG Nexus? There hasn't exactly been much action over there, but it only recently opened. I know it's a lot of work, but the average cube is pretty useful.
I did the average MTGS cube last year that you're linking to. That thread got deleted when whatever happened with Curse that caused so many people to start posting under User-3566432 or whatever. Any threads started by those users were purged. I wouldn't mind doing it again this year (probably in Nov/Dec). I think the data gleaned from it is pretty valuable. -

Ulka posted a message on [[Peasant]] The Peasant Cube Discussion Thread (C/U/)We as a staff are currently working on a new site and will have more details to follow on this but there will a be a continuation site just now owned by the staff. More notes on this and its progress will be be found on the main cube forum page.Posted in: Pauper & Peasant Discussion
Another thing to note is I'm an avid Peasant cube and it would take my dead body before they remove the peasant and pauper cube section from the new site. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

So if we take that literally, any set not legal means nothing from Worldwake, means no Stoneforge.
