    Regisaur Alpha is on a whole other level compared to those Gruul offerings. It's like an aggressive Thragtusk-y variant. 7 power for 5 mana is no joke.

    I don't really care for either of them personally. You need a critical mass of specific pieces (like in those STD lists) to maximize the power of Fevered Visions. Saheeli is just...not very good from what I've seen. She just doesn't do anything unless it's literally a two-card combo that puts...

    Haven't drafted in a while (hoping to change that soon), but I did do some extensive work with my cube over the weekend. I dunno how often you guys have done it, but I just resleeved my cube for the first time since I put it together around 3 years ago. I had Red Dragonshields and Perfect Fits...

    RE: Green Threes It's wild just how many good creatures there are for that slot now. I feel like we were lacking a bit this time two years ago, but now there's just a bevy of riches. I really liked Deathgorge Scavenger from the new set, but I can't really find a slot for it with so many...

    Here's one from Onder's cube, decided to try and see what I could do with the energy mechanic: Ones 1 Bonesplitter Twos 1 Abrade 1 Aether Chaser 1 Aether Meltdown 1 Harnessed Lightning 1 Incendiary Flow 1 Kari Zev, Skyship Raider 1 Narcolepsy 1 Thriving Grubs 1 Young Pyromancer Threes 1...

    Nice list, thanks for drafting! Seems like Riptide didn't pick up the cube deck tags on your post so I fixed it up for you. I made just one change and added a Seaside Citadel in place of a Forest in your manabase. In my cube, if you draft a gold card with 3 colors in it (and a few other specific...

    My black two drops (at 420 cube size) are currently: Blood Artist Bloodghast Dark Confidant Glint-Sleeve Siphoner Heir of Falkenrath Oona's Prowler Zulaport Cutthroat Scrapheap Scrounger I cheat a little with including the Scrounger by counting it amongst colorless cards, but if I need...

    The designer of the cube was on reddit like a week ago answering questions in a sort of impromptu AMA, still disagree entirely with their thought and design process. I don't really see very many improvements here at all, watched the one draft that Caleb Durward did on CFB and it was still the...

    Three spells is just so many. I can't remember the last time I did that in a non-EDH game. The land side is excellent though, wish the trigger to flip were two spells instead. It would have been much more achievable.

    Now that is some nice graveyard hate. But why are green 3s so damn stacked now? :confused: EDIT: Holy shit that is a massive image, I'll update it to something smaller once I find one.

    This was my opening pack. In most cubes, I would go with the Dark Confidant and try to slot into an aggressive archetype, but this time I wanted to see what I could accomplish with Herald of Anguish (a card that I've also been trying out in my own list). P1P3 I was lucky enough to pick up a copy...

    Two days left of spoilers, I'd imagine the bulk of playables have been shown by this point. This is what I'm looking at trying out: The land will slot into ULD, everything else into the main cube. I'm just wondering how many dinos I need before the giant Naya one is worth it, might just run...

    Speaking of Pull From Tomorrow, how has that card worked out for you guys thus far? It's solid in Standard, but I never tried it out because I wasn't all that impressed thinking about how it would do at lower costs. Obviously great if you're dumping like X = 4 into it, but if it's 3 or less it's...

    Art is definitely great, not quite there power level wise for me at least. RW isn't really a big creatures or token based strategy for me so this isn't all that appealing. A 0 ability pooping out 3/3 tramplers isn't bad, but being a 5 drop kind of kills it. I don't think it has enough impact at...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    It feels like a kind of poetic justice that after slowly peeling and slowrolling his own draw steps for like eight turns that Yam would fuck up tand rush through he most important turn of the game.

    Yeah, for green it's more centered around mana acceleration being the boon, not explicit fixing. It's definitely easier to hit your splashes earlier with dorks like Noble Hierarch and Birds of Paradise, but I think that's fine and a good way to keep the color identity intact. It's a major reason...

    It's kind of nice to take a break every couple of sets, I only have so many flex slots available to test out new goodies. I'm looking only at these cards this time around:
