It's absolutely dependent upon your power level. The Aggro gameplan is to play out multiple threats on the field to apply pressure early and often. By putting your opponent on the defensive, you can influence their potential blocks and how they utilize resources to mitigate your pressure. If you...

Played in just one Prerelease this time, but went pretty well going 3-1 with this sweet Grixis pool: Ones 2 Grim Physician 2 Omen of the Dead 1 Traveler's Amulet Twos 1 Lampad of Death's Vigil 1 Protean Thaumaturge 1 Tymaret, Chosen from Death 3 Discordant Piper 2 Omen of the Sea 1...

With the introduction of these cards over the last year: Soulherder Charming Prince Thassa, Deep-Dwelling You definitely have the backbone to make this strategy work in UW with minimal investment as far as card slots are concerned. There are already a ton of ETB effects available between...

After seeing it on a few of your inclusions and re-reading the card, I'm going to be giving Anax a run as well. Being able to thousand cuts my opponent in a B/R deck with a combo of recursive dudes + Goblin Bombardment sounds hilariously fun. Bummer that he lost the human typeline though.

So far I've got the following cards on my Acquire/Test list: alirios, enraptured Thassa's Intervention Thassa, Deep-Dwelling In blue it's mostly just more support for the UW Blink archetype. Alirios has intrigued me since I first saw it as it's a lot of stats on a decent body and can get...

Beast Whisperer is okay, the problem I have with it is it's place on the curve. The 4 drop slot is when you start deploying bigger threats to the board to start closing out the game (in my cube at least), and you don't really want to waste time on set-up cards without immediate impact unless you...

How unfortunate that this is all we're getting lore-wise from this set. This is the most compelling story that they've had in a while and there's a lot they could have worked with, but they chose to forego it entirely after the WAR debacle. You've got a compelling story, the classic hero's...

This set is very powerful, so many cool cards to try out as both standalones and build-arounds. I think a critical mass might be there for an Enchantress/Constellation theme to be viable in my cube, I'm going to definitely have to pore over a ton of cards and rework some things once this set is...

I like that weird black 3 drop that makes a goat, looks like something I killed in Dark Souls at some point. Creepy and Braids are going to be bffs. I'm not quite sure of how to evaluate Escape yet. It's kind of like Delve, but most of the cards so far have high mana costs + escape cost aside...

Klothys looks pretty sweet. Cheap to play, incidental graveyard hate, and does an impression of Sulfuric Vortex without being so obnoxious. Might give it a try.

Wicked Wolf is the truth. A 3/3 that you can deploy as a kill spell early off green ramp is excellent removal in a color that doesn't get access to it very often. If you're ambitious like me and dream of pairing it with Soulherder hoo boy you've got a stew going right there.

I like the idea of them, but I don't think I've seen them be anywhere near as effective as the best case scenario in my head. I've had much more success with disruption on a body type creatures like Kitesail Freebooter than something like Inquisition of Kozilek or Duress. If you've run someone...

I pretty much go through periods of interest and disinterest when it comes to Magic. New sets will usually get me going again and interested in approaching the game, but I'll often go weeks or months just not really thinking about it at all. Currently doing that; I've got enough other things to...

That's a really good trailer. They've come a long way from what they used to be, but I still have to say that my favorite is the Journey into Nyx one: That Erebos narration is just *chef's kiss*

Cleaner viewing experience and probably better in the long run, but taking out the human element turns me off completely from tuning in to watching any competitive Magic. There's just no appeal. At least with something like EDH online you get user commentary and playful back and forth to keep...

Knight is solid because of the modal abilities, but I'm not a huge fan of ETB Naturalize type creatures because so much value is tied up in that ETB. Like Reclamation Sage for instance. If you aren't blowing up something with it, it's an anemic 2/1 for 3 that won't be doing much for you...

I do like this one more than other options, but I didn't have much success with it either. I think the potential is what is more appealing than the actual play patterns that happened for me. My sample size was pretty small though, might just need to give it a more extended run sometime in the...

I just picked up a copy of it to give it a run the next time we actually draft. Dunno if it'll come together or not, but the potential is there.

Not the biggest fan of either in cube honestly, the extra land effect is great in theory but often times it doesn't quite come together. Once in a blue moon you'll get the nuts and have the right ratio of additional lands and action spells to really maximize your ramp, but I've found that...

Depends upon your power level, but I'd lean towards WAR Nissa because she's just more interesting to me. She's got cross-synergy with any counters matters stuff you might have going on as Trainmaster mentioned, it can build its own win-con over time by growing lands tall, and it's pretty much...
