Post 12 - Cubing With Spike

This link, like usual, has the description of a "Spike"


Spike is the competitive player. Spike plays to win. Spike enjoys winning. To accomplish this, Spike will play whatever the best deck is. Spike will copy decks off the Internet. Spike will borrow other players’ decks. To Spike, the thrill of Magic is the adrenalin rush of competition. Spike enjoys the stimulation of outplaying the opponent and the glory of victory

Exhibit 1: The Physical Cube
Depending on who creates the cube, the cards would either be amazing or terrible in the eyes of Spike. My personal cube is the standard power cube built for Spike, with the strongest cards in the history of Yugioh. Want an example? I shuffled my cube together and i pulled out a "15-card pack." the contents?

Exhibit 2: The Social Cube
As I quote Herm Edwards, You play. To win. The game. While cubing is fun and different, there's no reason why it can't also be competitive. Having seven other players that are on equal terms as you when it comes to the strength of the deck, that would easily bring out the competitive spirit of Spike.

Exhibit 3: The Mental Cube
This is going to be a personal stereotype, but the description given of Spike makes me feel that he is a netdecker at most. This weakness may be exposed in this format, as making a deck from scratch may not be his best strength


Verdict: Hit or miss, depending on the Spike. Most of the YGO Spike's i met in real life are against this entire idea, while the MtG Spikes think this is a good idea.
