Huh. I just overlooked that it was a Human Warrior token this entire time. My brain just shortcutted it like with Mardu Strike Leader to just Warrior. Much better than I thought. I'd put it up to 1st then off that detail alone; makes a huge difference to me. You probably just run both of them...

In a vacuum it's Usher. Being able to go wide without committing more resources from your hand is great. If you run a Humans archetype with stuff like Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant? I'd stick with the Woe-Reaper. It's the only reason I haven't yet made that swap.

Good points. I'd say that the appeal for me is more than it's a jack-of-all trades and master of none inclusion. It's not particularly great at anything and can't do the Tarmogoyf impression like the Channeler, but it has more flexibility in multiple archetypes. It's definitely not my first...

Brushfire looks fine to me as supplemental card for G/R Landfall, but it's not really a reason to go into the archetype. Hexdrinker is just some bullshit, play patterns really suck with that one. Living Twister reads better than it plays unless you're all in on the Wildfire plan. In Wildfire...

I like Dismissive Pyromancer way more. A bear is more serviceable than a 1/3 for the kinds of decks that would want these cards, it's a straight up rummager without timing restrictions, and it can be cashed in as a removal spell down the road to clear the way. It slots into more decks across the...

Not too many for me this time, nothing really caught my eye like in other sets: Doomskar Saw it Coming Behold the Multiverse Ranar the Ever-Watchful Mostly cards to supplement UW Control and give it a little oomph with a Foretell subgame that can be played. Ranar looks like a nice means of...

You can definitely pull this off at a lower power level, but it's always been pretty niche even with AKH block providing a bunch of support. The support cards that made the archetype work in Limited are just really really narrow to deploy. It's just way easier (and support is more frequent) to...

Carrion Feeder Woe Strider Falkenrath Aristocrat For straight up sacrifice outlets, I think these 3 hold up really really well at a high power level. I've never been disappointed playing with any of them. There are also the many other options listed earlier in this thread that have a few more...

Mu Yanling, Sky Dancer Daretti, Scrap Savant Saheeli, Sublime Artificer I've become a pretty big fan of these supplementary walkers. They don't necessary force you into an archetype or make you want to build around them specifically, but they serve as nice support for their specific...

Oh my god. It never even cross my mind that Onderzeeboot was a word in another language. I just thought it was an exaggerated pronunciation of "under the boot".

Probably just these two: Earthshaker Khenra Champion of Wits There needs to be enough value on the front side for it to be worth it, and the Eternalize is usually just gravy. Khenra is nice at pushing through damage early and coming back in (if necessary) late to just act as a big finisher...

I may or may not have made land destruction a primary gameplan of a Ruric Thar EDH deck I had a while back. Can neither confirm nor deny how powerful Klothys is when you can rebuild much faster than everyone else. Also, you get to have all the fun while no one else does so it's extra juicy.

Haven't tried it in Cube yet, but have slotted it into many EDH decks. Card is good. You really need to be able to turn on devotion to get the most out of it as a 4/5 beater, but it's passable. I think the problem in Cube is that there are more impactful and archetype-defining cards that could...

If you have one fetchland to recur, it's pretty disgusting. If not, it'll probably come in and just shoot down some early plays or threaten a ping. It's just never dead. I will say that if you can't get the Crucible impression going it's just okay and will quickly be outpaced.

What I've learned is that many people like to draft and finish it up with a card pool, but will never actually make cuts and/or add the lands to virtually construct a deck. This is mindblowing.

Looks like Onder and I both came up on the featured queue for CubeCobra at the same time: Neat :D

Bane of your existence if you're playing White Weenie or low to the ground R/x Aggro, not really a big deal if you're in any other archetype.

Not as an explicit deck archetype, but I'm interested in adding Foretell cards to spice up UW Control with some more options. I also like adding the pre-con commander in my UW section as it also synergizes with my blink archetype.

I'm with japahn on this, not a fan of the lack of text on more complex mechanics. I'll make the exception every now and then for a sweet card, but I also try to avoid it whenever possible. Part of the reason why I hated the Party mechanic so much.

Yeah, that's part of why I think it could be a neat little sub-theme within an archetype, but probably can't get there as a full-fledged archetype unless your environment is very specific. Still, being able to make your opponent sweat thinking that your foretold card is either a Wrath or...
