I definitely agree that sticking rigidly to cycles comes at the cost of using more interesting, and sometimes more useful lands. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about the idea of reinforcing colour identity via lands however. Bounce lands and Scrylands are indeed fantastic for the Azorius control...

Interesting questions. Scrylands have always been off the table for me because of how they disproportionately favor control decks so I wouldn't place them in either the cube or a ULD. I may be overreacting to the tapped clause, especially since the ability to cycle an unneeded land is quite the...

All fair points, thank you for breaking it down in so much depth. Looking at the card from that perspective I can see how the card can be a value monster in the same vein as Thragtusk vs a more reasonable alternative like Plague Belcher . God I love menace.

I'm curious as to why Flesh Carver seems to be omitted from so many riptide lists. It seems perfect for this list, being a human, sac outlet, value body on death, and having +1 counter synergy! Is it that his combination of abilities (especially intimidate) are deemed too uninteractive for a...

Where is the ideal home for the bi-cycle lands? In the main cube or in a utility land draft? In the main list I feel like the tapped clause will hinder aggro and tempo decks, and in the utility land draft I worry they'll be snagged for fixing moreso than for cycling or delirium synergy.

Wow, even in a zombie centric cube?? This kind of depresses me, the Troll is a bit of a nostalgic card for me, was a staple of my first casual deck from back in the day when I thought Corpsejack Menace was the bees knees. I've decided I'm going to give Grim Flayer a spin, if only so I can...

Thank you, I appreciate the welcome! I've noticed this trend with wtwlf123 of late too and I've appreciated it quite abit too, nods towards unpowered cubes and not just different powered cube sizes during his Amonkhet preview was a refreshing change of pace and inspired me to give Forsake the...

Long time lurker and former powermax disciple here, I feel like it's finally time to join the fray now that I have a bit of insight to offer! Before discovering this site I followed wtwlf123 and his cube regularly for nearly two years, and his articles and opinions were instrumental to the...
