General What cards are you testing from M15?

[Jason Waddell]

[Laz]

For main:
Scuttling Doom Engine
Reclamation Sage
Generator Servant
Spirit Bonds
Might dabble with some Souls, but we will see...

Longshot card:
Meteorite
Can be tinkered up to kill things, throws a bone to Wildfire...

For Scuttle:
Soul of Ravnica
Possibly some of the Paragons.

Longshot card:
Krenko's Enforcer
While way worse than Spectral Rider or Highborn Ghoul, cheap-ish Intimidate is something I have an eye out for.

--Maybe--

meteorite
hot soup

[James Stevenson]

Now, Hot Soup is some cool design. I'm not gunna use it, but if I did I would quote Homestar Runner every time. Something like "Oh no, hot soup is on my face", but I can't really remember

did i miss anything?

 

[Laz]

I must have missed this guy. Card is sweet!

 

[D.B.S.]

In my next cube update (I guess that will be in a while I need to test my current changes more) I want to push a heavier artifact theme. Does anyone think Kurkesh is actually playable? Any cool interactions or combos?

Yes and heaps!



I have been waiting for playable cards that can push the artifact subtheme in red. I recently added Bosh, Iron Golem[/ci], which is also great with Kurkesh :)

 

[Arjan]

Blue 'wrath'? Anyway, I am gonna give this card a try.
I like the art as well!

Watch the quotation marks sonny!

 

[FlowerSunRain]

Goblin Rabblemaster seems to be pretty high on the raw power scale, but he's gotta fight int he paint and is super removable. He's probably nuts in cubes where games are generally low interation races, or at least as nuts as a 3 drop gets.

Cruel Sadist and Wall of Limbs are not going to be run as written.

Inferno Fist sucks, but my friend thinks it'll be really good in my list, so I put it up here.

I was going to try Genesis Hydra, but the fact that he is "scalable" doesn't seem to play considering how often he'll be just awful at X < 4

Jace isn't nearly as bad as people are saying he will be and one day he might get played. Probably after the price drops. Spectra Ward is pretty annoying, but it actually doesn't seem like its really that great unless it goes on a doublestriker. 5 is a lot.

Soul of Innistrad and Soul of Theros both seem pretty legit, but those slots have a lot of other options that might be more interesting.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Can we get a moment of silence? Did Wizards really print a playable red three drop in two consecutive sets?

 

[FlowerSunRain]

It wasn't long ago red three drops were garbage. Now, its a tricky spot to pick cards for.

 

[CML]

I still feel a little constrained in my red section. A playable 6+-drop that isn't Inferno Titan is exactly what I was looking for. Now it just needs more 1's, oddly enough

Yeah soul of shandalar has been good in my testing. Also Crater Hellion is the real deal

Just add more cacklers rite?

 

[CML]

Doubling up on one-drop beaters has (as I've covered elsewhere) worked way worse here than I thought it would

Crater Hellion is cool, does anyone else play this?

 

[DreamPaint]

Going to try out:

Ajani Steadfast
Void Snare
Altac Bloodseeker
Goblin Rabblemaster
Stoke the Flames
Nissa, Worldwaker
Reclamation Sage
Garruk, Apex Predator

I would like to try out Hornet Nest but it seems too good against beatdown and awful against control.

 

[Jonas]

I play Crater Hellion, and love it a lot.

Team Hellion.
