@Em_TeeGee People are so mean here. You keep doing you. It’s noble to be committed to your values.

FWIW, posting my salary actually makes me pretty uncomfortable. However, I know of at least 7 people who have been able to use the information to negotiate better pay for themselves (two thanked me this weekend!), and giving them that opportunity is worth some discomfort for me.

@Em_TeeGee I hope you have the self awareness to realize this, but people see that you’re just bragging about getting a raise here. Framing it as “pay transparency” doesn’t fool anyone. Obviously this is something you should be proud of! No need to take this angle.

@caro_irl Without having tried many of the other options, I do think the feel bad of Magic’s land system is a feature not a bug. You don’t get the drama of a triumphant land top deck without the variance that also creates the feel bad. Not to mention design space.

i like how lands work despite sometimes leading to bad beats thru flood/screw, it's cool that it adds another layer of deckbuilding considerations and also tons of design complexity through utility lands etc

many post-mtg tcgs have tried to atone for magic's sins by "fixing" its mana system. out of curiosity, i would like to see what another tcg with a resource design very similar to magic's would look like

@rcondon_ It did wheel and make the final deck. I like thraben a lot more personally. Some nice small synergies we could pick and up and just nice overall.

@NumotTheNummy Glad they’re not just ditching arena opens for directs and are instead retooling them.

@Dafore3 @RefinedWilson While not weighing in either way on the Lotus discourse, it does feel like Sol Ring is very strong in Boros that leans slightly harder on 2s and 3s.

@Dafore3 More and more I realize the internet is filled with loudly negative folks. I think it’s interesting to consider Lotus not being GOATed in all decks.

This is something you should meditate on: Why does my (or anyone’s) opinion on cards offend you so much? If I’m wrong, I’m hurting my results 1st. And if I am wrong... that’s also okay.

In the name of calling out positive things I see - whoever decided that Mana Crypt automatically flips for you without making you "choose" between heads or tails, kudos to you sir

@TaJoordan @Dafore3 Oh yeah, I guess I forget people play Bo3 cube 'cause Bo1 is ranked. Good point.

You get to pick ONE card. What’s the weakest card in Power Cube?

@Dafore3 I’d consider Magda being the weakest a hot take. It’s probably like Hearse or something, but I personally would cut like Rofellos, since mono G is such a trap in this iteration. Or tbh, some of the weaker talismans.

For me it's close between Magda or Up the Beanstalk. This is from the top of my head I probably forgot some. But if I have to pick one:

@jakeformayor This is a sick thread but this part in particular really puts into context how much of a cash cow arena probably is and really underlines why they use gems/gold to help obfuscate the real cost in currency.

That would mean that Powered Cube has netted Arena, conservatively, $65,000 in gems from 17Lands users alone. Not a ton, but probably nice coming off of the Spiderman flop.

Crunched the numbers on the 17Lands Powered Cube leaderboard. Of the top 20 games won, only Dafore is projected to have won gems. Absolutely brutal event structure, but hey, what about people who aren't winning by volume, but by percentage? How many of those exist? Let's look...

@Chord_O_Calls This is a great pick. So many of these cards would be huge upgrades to some archetypes that feel a little underpowered in this iteration.

I know they intentionally left out UB cards from the first iteration of the powered cube, but would love if they made some exceptions for the next go around. Troll specifically would give reanimator a bit more consistency which I think it needs

@Dafore3 Nah. I think these decks do well in both formats, so maybe the takeaway is that they are just better, at least in this cube.

How sure are we that the cube data “doesn’t tell the whole story”? I think we’re underestimating the depth and skill ceiling of these colors- the fail cases are minimal, and it’s almost impossible not to end up with a solid deck. 1/2

@jakeformayor @elCapitanBobby Yeah that’s a really good one I didn’t realize wasn’t in until I listened to LR. Very much feeling some of the Emrakul combos not being present as well. That card is basically an empty slot in many packs.

@TheBulkhead @elCapitanBobby Big time. Black could really use Bowmasters, for example. Some of the UB stuff belongs. Definitely over the Omenpaths stuff, which has been broadly mid.

Waaaay too early data is in for Powered Cube and the Ajani discourse is already raging. Here's the top 20 so far. Is Death-Greeter's Champion better than Black Lotus? No. Does that render all the data meaningless? Also no. Here's a guide to how I'd use it in the short term:
