Not a fan of Hazoret. There's just not a lot of interesting deckbuilding or synergies to exploit with other cards in my cube. I guess maybe fling Squee forever, but that's kind of lame and mana intensive. I'm not really interested in a Mono-Red curvetopper who only really shines in Rx balls to...

My god who approved this abortion of a card frame for the Masterpieces:

Looks like three early promos. Exert is a new mechanic with no reminder text apparently, though parallels with 4 damage from a 4cmc may mean just paying the cost again on attack for the effect? Not sure. Also, cycling looks to be back! That demon is pretty neat.

Eh, I wouldn't give Stoddard (or the rest of the development team) much credit. They've been actively fucking around with bad in-house testing and given us shitty Standard formats for an extended period of time now. All while waving precious market research (who the fuck are these test dummies...

This card slots well into B/W Aggressive shells as a Retribution of the Meek variant. The mechanic is interesting, I like that design space they're exploring, but I can't get over the frame. Unless there's some wonky permanent/nonpermanent combination for a few of these, they should have just...

So Wastes kind of blow out of the basic land stash, and I've got these in the cube: Eldrazi Displacer World Breaker Thought-Knot Seer After testing out a bunch of the Smalldrazi a while back, these are the only ones that have stuck around. Breaker is pretty good even if you never recur it...

Riptidian Synergy Cube draft, ended up in BW Aggro: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/700911[/url]"] Ones 1 Bonesplitter 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Doomed Traveler 1 Gravecrawler 1 Kytheon, Hero of Akros Twos 1 Accorder Paladin 1 Blood Artist 1 Heir of Falkenrath 1 Precinct Captain 1 Seeker of the Way 1...

Actually 3 targets, Seat of the Synod and Tree of Tales from the ULD among his lands ;) I have tried Dread Return in the past and kept it in for long stretches, but it consistently underperformed for me. Exhume is the fair Reanimate, Living Death is the "oh shit thats why he tossed those good...

I went back down to San Diego this weekend to take care of something on Thursday, decided to stay through the weekend. Most of my friends from college are still down there so we mostly played Magic this weekend. We were planning on drafting a different cube on Saturday, but plans fell through...

It's terribly designed. There is crappy filler all across the cube alongside actually good and powerful cards. If there was a consistent power band throughout or actual thought put into certain card choices that was plain to someone looking over the list I wouldn't be as critical, but I really...

I finally took a look over the Modern Cube on MTGO over the weekend. Old member or not, that cube is a pile of garbage. Holy god. EDIT: Added link

That clears it up. I was literally like wait what huh.

I run 30 of each land. This hasn't led to any issues with an abundance of fixing. The only time this was a problem was when I had 25 of each and was running Worldknit for a while. That drafter had picked up Koth of the Hammer and decided to just pick up Mountains as the basic of choice. We were...

Drafted a handful of different lists to get a feel for the environment: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/692143[/url]"] Twos 1 Aether Theorist 1 Baleful Strix 1 Consulate Skygate 1 Go for the Throat 1 Shielded Aether Thief Threes 1 Jhessian Thief 1 Liliana, the Last Hope 1 Metallic Rebuke 1 Pia...

Not necessarily a 3-0, but a pretty awesome game between two sweet decks. So these decks are from a few days back, but I left most of them intact and a friend and I ran them back. This led to one of the cooler finishes that I've ever had. Lists: Ones 1 Greenbelt Rampager Twos 1 Thing in...

I think you want 2 mana 1/1 as the going rate, free bears for everyone is a little much. The shitty Gray Ogre body serves to push you towards flipping because no one wants a vanilla 3 mana 2/2.

I just don't like how it's such an easy read. Unless I'm playing against a UG deck, I'm going to almost always know that that U/x deck morph is a Dancer and unless I'm a specific deck like UR Spells, I'll just play around it. It has too much of its total value tied up in that morph ability for...

Only Den Protector for me, not really a fan of the rest of the cycle. I feel like Regrowth + 3/2 evasive body well worth 5 mana investment, especially in green decks where ramp is prevalent. I feel less enthused about spending that much mana in other colors. Ire Shaman I guess was kind of cool...

Got a chance to quilt again with two other people yesterday, we each ended up drafting two decks and kind of round-robined them to get a feel for each: Ones 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Enlightened Tutor Twos 1 Selfless Spirit 1 Soulfire Grand Master 1 Porcelain Legionnaire 1 Epochrasite 1...
