How do you counter a counterspell with this?

I thought about running Backdraft Hellkite, but it doesn't work well with Rise from the Tides and Runechanter's Pike.

I usually think of value as card advantage, which translates to inevitability* (*not necessarily, but usually does) Meanwhile, tempo is a measurement of how many turns to win or lose the game, given the current position.

My artifact suite is hilariously bad to recur with Emry. I think Gingerbrute is the most "broken" interaction... With spellbombs or anything like Aeolipile it looks great though! So, reporting back after a few drafts with the WUR configuration. What I'm currently running is: Narrow payoffs...

Looking for a black 7-drop to work as control finisher, reanimator target, and ramp target. Narrowed the options down to these two, but I'm open to other suggestions. Rune-Scarred Demon Sheoldred, Whispering One Rune-Scarred Demon seems good even if removed, since you can tutor out...

Well, the rarer they are, the fewer of them exist. :D It's not that terrible an effect in constructed - build a deck around it with a bunch of hosers for the same color and you've got a silly casual deck.

Wild Ricochet A long time ago I ran this. Super cool when it works, but ultimately not e Worth maindecking because it's so narrow.

Dismissing Bontu's Monument as bad because Oketra's Monument is better is an anchoring fallacy. Drain 1 life is less valuable than a 1/1 in general, yes, but not insignificant - Blood Artist has taught us as much. The cost reduction is easy to overlook, but it has value. I think the types of...

More or less on the same topic, I'm looking for a lower power replacement for Living Death. Only option I found was this: Twilight's Call Does anybody have experience with it? Feels like 6cc + setup is too much for the effect unless the deck is all in graveyard/dredge.

The definition of wordy as >=4 lines is a bit too aggressive. 5 would be more fair, that's when my brain goes "fuck that I'm not reading it". I look at the cards with 4 lines of text and they don't seem wordy at all: Selfless Spirit Bazaar Trademage Dark Confidant Dismissive Pyromancer...

Out of those, Heraldic Banner. Maybe Cultivator's Caravan?

Update 4.8.2 I tested some decks and the conclusion is that the cube is pending a bit too much towards aggro/creatures, and control/spells is pretty weak at the moment. These things are delicate to balance, so I'll make small changes to rebalance, starting with: In: Exclude Cryptic Command...

Forgot to comment about these: Black Sun's Zenith was too strong for my cube. It was better than a wrath since you could adjust it to not kill your creatures, and my large creatures aren't cheap. It oppresses aggro pretty badly. Puncture Blast was fine, just not in the right colors...

I have a minor "bad counters" theme, which synergizes with "+1/+1 counters". Necroskitter Generous Patron Grind // Dust The specific payoffs for bad counters. Generous Patron is good in +1/+1 counters as well, but it's amazing in this deck. Necroskitter is super exciting, but pretty narrow...

What are your favorite burn spells? Looking for all power levels.

Onder mentioned that, but we're looking for french vanilla. I imagine things like "can't block" should fulfill the purposes too, while not being technically french vanilla.

Best search I could do in a reasonable time, lots of false positives but better than looking through everything...

I'm always in the lookout for those too. Take a look at my cube, you will find many that fit the definition loosely (use set mechanics but are simple otherwise. The vanilla/french vanilla creatures I run or have ran recently: Isamaru, Hound of Konda Healer's Hawk Youthful Knight Porcelain...

Dictate of Heliod was way too strong in my cube. I think it's a very swingy card - if the environment allows you to cast it consistently, it's bonkers.
