Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the-
Major_Luck spent most of last weekend entering the new Cube data (including who owns what) into an .xls document, so now we have ownership of the majority of the cards ironed out. I have put the data into a Google Doc and published it, so now anyone can see not only the Cube cards, but also information about ownership, premium cards, card color, even converted mana cost! Big thanks to Major_Luck for his help here. It would have taken me two months just to stop procrastinating.
We have a large number of cards that were cut that need to be returned to their owners. I will be doing this as I see people in the next few weeks. If you loaned a card that is no longer in the Cube and it isn't among the cards you receive back, contact me.
When viewing the document you will notice that there are still a few cards that do not have identified owners. I have perused the list and many of these are mine, but not all. If you are one of the half dozen people who contributed cards and see that one of the cards you loaned is not credited to you, please let me know. Obviously if you see something that is not accurate let me know about that as well.
As a Google document people all over the web can do all the neat stuff that you can do with any spreadsheet. Want to check the average casting cost of all the White cards in the Cube? You can do that! How many creatures does Blue really have? Just sort by color and then creature! Unfortunately, it looks like document that is published by Google cannot be manipulated (which is good, obviously we don't want some joker in the Czech Republic messing up all the work Dan did, just for laughs), but it also means that all the cool analytical stuff can only be done by collaborators. You need to have a Google account to be collaborator, so you can sign in to the document. If you own cards in the Cube and want to play around with this stuff I would suggest signing up and then emailing me so that I can add you to the collaborators list. It makes discussing cuts, adds and Cube balance one hell of a lot easier. Plus you can sort by the owner name, so it makes finding out which cards you actually own really simple.
Questions or suggestions on how we can make this system work better- let me know. I think we've got a pretty nice resource now. All we need to do is update it when changes occur and we should be in good shape for Eventide additions and beyond.

Are we underground, or do we just suck?
So this blog has been going for almost two months and we are posting in-freakin-cessantly. Yeah, it could burn out just as fast (I know my volume of posts could go down during some trip called a "honeymoon" later this month) but I feel like we've got a pretty cool thing going here. We've got 20 posts in less than two months! And they don't all suck! So I thought I'd Google "Magic: The Gathering Blog" and see where we ended up.
Yeah.
I stopped looking after page 16. Is this a big deal? I feel like people who don't know us may want to leave harassing comments too. Hell, some dude from fucking Oshkosh apparently has a blog that has no posts and simply directs people to his gaming store. In Oshkosh. His "blog" is fourth from the top on page fucking one. Fugitive Wizard, can we do something about this? Maybe write Magic: the Gathering a million times in a text color that perfectly matches our background? Just throwing out ideas.
