So I've been classifying Sphinx of the Steel Wind and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker as Colorless in my cube for a while now because it's the easiest way to keep the sections balanced. Do you think there's an inherent problem with this? They're not going to be cut from the Cube as they're pretty iconic to it for my playgroup and we wanted another good Tinker target besides Inkwell Leviathan. Sphinx also plays well in Reanimator and Control strategies. So thoughts?
I think that's the best section for those personally. That way you don't have to run stupid stuff like rafiq and broodmage dragon. I found that sphinx was cast a few times, but when it was cast the third color on it was just splashed from a 5C land or mana stone.
Nicol Bolas on the other hand is never good enough for most cube decks, and the only reason he's still in the cube is because he's freaking awesome and creates some awesome moments when you do get to slam him down. Which is why he should be colorless, people pick and make a deck with him because he's awesome, not because he's necessarily a good cube card.
I've also thrown Maelstrom Wanderer in with those two, though he's not nearly as good as I expected. But like bolas, tons of fun

All this does is make phantasmal image and phyrexian metamorph behave differently. Now they'll never be kill spells, but there have been plenty times where I wanted copy the creature I chose.
Not sure how I feel about this change overall though. It kind of makes them feel less unique.

Channel Fireball is awesome. They always sell foils that they have marked SP that I would grade NM, saves me money all the time :), they are really nice in person and online!

I would go for cards that have a similar value to power but are also unlikely to leave the cube soon. It isn't unconceivable for you to change from powered to unpowered.
So I bought some KMC sleeves from ChannelFireball on Sunday. This week SCG started a sale on KMCs. Channelfireball retroactively gave me store credit for the price difference.
Also New Frame > Old Frame any day of the week.
Did they refund you the money because you asked them or because they were being very nice?

What PT winning deck had control magic back in the day? I could really see the art being it. It's a cool take on a control magic art because it's in the perspective of the creature being taken.

Does anyone know when the judge promo of Imperial Recruiter will be released? I am itching to try him in my cube.
The announcement of this promo's release alone let the price of the P3K one tumble down. A month ago, the cheapest English ones on MCM cost 210-220 €. Now the cheapest ones cost 160-170 €.
They give out new judge promo's at every Pro Tour and world cup(I think?). And they give 2 new ones. So bribery and recruiter are likely the judge promos for PT gatecrash. Though judge foils have been spoiled way earlier than released (mana crypt, sword of fire and ice).

I really hate how many of the SCD threads contain discussions about other cards or whole archetypes / groups of cards.
It would be nice to see the moderators encourage the other members to more discipline there.
I've been annoyed lately as well, especially when they lead into dead horse discussions.

It seems very likely that it's the case, but I don't like the thought that someone who would have information like that would betray the community.

I'm going to get it too, but it won't fall to 20ish like xia dun did :(, which I'm sure some people expect it to.
