At this point your appeal is denied because we need to see 6 months pass without a gimmick before we can let you back in.
This is amusing. It reads like they'd love nothing more than to unban you, but they just can't because their hands are tied.

I think there are many different "themed" cubes that are possible and playable and even quite fun that might not follow the highlander rule. The main reason to break the singleton rule is to push some kind of theme even if it is in a more traditional cube. Myr Servitor cubes* are probably...

PhantomS has it covered - variance. It's the same reason you should probably make your cube a bit bigger than required for your usual group size (eg. if you routinely draft with 8 players, make a 450-card (10-player) cube.) That way you don't see exactly the same card pool every session. Incidentall...

That man looks slightly worried at being the subject in a picture taken in a public place. Rightfully so, in my opinion.
Lighting suggests it's probably overcast (it is London after all), so I imagine he's also concerned about the chance of impending rain which could ruin his suede shoes.

How much did you pay for the alter? Does he do duplicates?
I haven't replaced it yet but I'm guessing I paid around $600-700 for the alter. He didn't do any Savannah duplicates (thank god) but he altered three P3K Loyal Retainers at the same time. :swear:

Reporting for duty. My main MTG interests are Cube drafting & construction, and Vintage. Can't promise I'll post much - I've been a member of that other site for years and have only a handful of posts to my name - but am nonetheless glad to be a part of this community.
