Quote from snorfulI found some renders where both of the cards sides are on the front, and then I just keep the actual cards with the tokens, so you can flip it however much you want. It is a very simple and elegant solution, and most of the renders look good.
Some examples:
Whoa, surreal. I made those! (the Reckless Waif & Delver of Secrets)
I think I might make the rest of the playable DFCs, actually. I wanted to remove the flavor text to de-clutter these anyway. Let me know if you have any requests!
EDIT:
Quote from BetweenWalls »Here is where you can find all the single-side DFC renders I've done:
Delver of Secrets, Reckless Waif, Cloistered Youth, Huntmaster of the Fells, Bloodline Keeper, Mayor of Avabruck, Garruk Relentless, Wolfbitten Captive: see post #5081 of the rendering thread.
Nissa, Kytheon, Liliana, Jace: see post #5076 of the rendering thread.
Loyal Cathar, Grizzled Outcasts, Hinterland Hermit, Villagers of Estwald: see post #316 of the rendering thread.

I am in the midst of totally rebuilding my cube, so we'll see if he makes it in for testing.

After the huge discussion (and some what derailing) of the Pelakka Wurm thread, I wanted to make a place to discuss Green Super Fatty MCD so that future users can easily find the great information that has been produced. Hopefully other users will be willing to copy and paste their great posts here for others.
For the purposes of this thread I will define a Super Fattie as a creature costing 7 or more mana, usually having a large stabilizing impact on the board. Below is a list of contenders for that role in cube in ALPHABETICAL ORDER:
1 Avenger of Zendikar
1 Craterhoof Behemoth
1 Elderscale Wurm
1 Gaea's Revenge
1 Hornet Queen
1 Moldgraf Monstrosity
1 Pelakka Wurm
1 Penumbra Wurm
1 Protean Hulk
1 Symbiotic Wurm
1 Terastodon
1 Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
1 Woodfall Primus
1 Worldspine Wurm
I tried to include a wide net so that as many options are on the table as possible. Please to not assume that these are created equal or that you should rank them all! I will add new options as they appear. I am sure I missed a few!
I hope we can have a great discussion about the merits of these and more below!

This thread has gotten very far off path. I shudder to think of how hard it would be to find this thread as a new cube manager looking for Green Fatty Info. I suppose I'll make an MCD for that so we can make this really great info easily available for future users.

In my cube there are 9 ETB triggers in White, only 2 of which are often game-altering (Sun Titan, Stoneforge Mystic). Of course Stoneforge is extremely cheap, so can often be played before you need to respond to a major trigger. Sun Titan will often be screwed significantly, but even there will still trigger when it attacks. Other cards do become really bad when this is in play (looking at you Wall of Omens and Silverblade Paladin). I am willing to harm my own wall to respond to a Hornet Queen, or even Nekrataal.
So I think it is testable. I do not think it is anywhere near an auto include for 450, let alone 360. But certainly seems like some solid testing time would go a long way to understanding a very interesting card.

We finally got your cube up and running, so we will try it out tonight! You cube is something like 10-12% different then mine, which is huge (most cubes are more like 3-5% different) - def excited!

Should you gents ever looking for a discussion of UN cards, I'd love to chime in. Also, there is some very interesting work happening locally here with a fine fellow making what he calls the Meta-cube, from which he can build all our cubes at will. He probably has some interesting things to say as well.
Just out of curiosity, you guys have an American, a Frenchman, and Portuguese voice - why are you hosted in Canada? Whatever the reason, love it. Props for making the community that much better.

So I think Reforge the Soul is a lot like Colby's third Wildfire. We have had a lot of discussion on what card to use if you want a third Wildfire - I believe the community consensus is that the different 3rd versions are all too bad to run but some might in order to make Wildfire just that much more playable. Colby wants a 5th Timetwister in order to support a storm archetype that he really cares about, just someone who wants to run Destructive Force would for Wildfire. He has a very specific and rational reason for wanting that, and for mentioning it here in case anyone else wants it for their support package. He is not recommending that everyone slam Reforge into their cube no matter what. Nor that we should be cutting Wheel of Fortune for its way better brother Reforge.
I think it is good to have discussions about these more fringe archetype support cards. It seems that like Destructive Force, much of the community is not interested in going to these lengths to support draw-7s. But that does not mean the card is the worst thing ever, or that Colby is wrong for bringing it up. I don't plan on running it in my cube, but I will save one of my copies in order to have it around should I change my mind. Which I think is very helpful.
