I love Flip Nissa, she gives you some sweet card advantage if you're the ramp deck into the late game by either drawing you gas or clearing out lands from the top of your deck. She's a very cool card and it's only been laziness that has kept me from moving from my EDH deck to my actual cube list.

Ashiok is not fun at all. It warps the entire game around it if it's dropped early and you can just play protect the queen with blockers and removal. It's slower than stupid mill 10 Jace, but it's just as uninteractive and crushing to go up against. It's one of my favorite walkers from that...

This card is pretty bad. If you don't have a way to take advantage of the extra body and make it actually relevant, then it's just useless. Bonesplitter allows you to trade up your 1 drop 2/1 creatures in aggro with an x/4 roadblock and continue pushing through damage. This +1/+0 doesn't have...

New devil thing is sweet, but probably a 4 or 5 drop in most cases. It's not an on-curve play though, this is something you'd sandbag for the later game once you've both used up most of your resources. I could see it coming online more frequently in a Grixis or Jund deck, UR could turbo it out...

Looking through my own list, I have the following cards that let me pitch cards: Enclave Cryptologist Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Looter il-Kor Frantic Search Compulsive Research Heir of Falkenrath Oona's Prowler Liliana, Defiant Necromancer Liliana of the Veil Magus of the Wheel Chandra...

Permeating Mass is hilarious, but I really don't want that in my environment. It's just going to drag out into stalled boardstates until someone drops an evasive threat to go right past it. I'm not really trying to take a shit on aggro either with such a frustrating card.

Such a nice track:

I don't know how you could implement this electronically, but I've been using this method in paper for the last few months and it's worked out great: 1) Divide everything by color (WUBRG), with lands, colorless, and gold in a sixth pile. 2) Take 20% of each color and shuffle it into the...

They just gave us something to work with:

Ooh, this is a sweet looking one:

I feel like it's two cards away from being a legitimate archetype you can support. There are more than enough BR enablers right now, just not enough payoffs in a higher powered environment. I think you could definitely deploy it if your power level isn't all that high though.

They're different cards, new Liliana slots into more midrange-y grindy decks. That +1 should not be underestimated, especially not after Jace VP's reign in Standard. It was very relevant shrinking dudes when it came to combat math and this -2/-1 lets her snipe down small things as well...

I don't think it has a spot in most lists. I play it for fun in Tymaret EDH because no one cares about taking two from murder hobo but then they get got.

Timbermare is kind of janky, Solifuge is pretty trash nowadays, Surrak and Vengevine are decent. I cut Surrak a while back after running him for a bit because he just didn't bring anything interesting to the table. Vengevine though? He's staying forever. Applies pressure as a hasty threat and I...

Oh man, collective brutality is beautiful. What an awesome modal spell. Also, Bantmiyo: That +1 being on ANY combat damage is insane. 3 colors makes it tough, but I'm down to try it out. She's so cool.

This card sucks for cube, but it's sweet elsewhere. Time to make Treeskadekaphobia.dec.

I really really love the pack art for Thalia. Was not a fan of the buy-a-box, her face is creepy looking.

Hanweir Garrison is fucking insane. It's a red Hero of Bladehold and it poops out humans for Champion of the Parish. Holy shit.

So I began playing Magic again around M14 and missed a lot of the sets that had come in years previous. The last time I had played prior to that was casually with friends back in elementary school, not really knowing the nuances of the game. I ended up missing a ton of cool blocks and one of...

Oh my god, new Thalia is all I've been wanting for a few months. Been looking for more non-shitty sources of nonbasic hate and Wizards heard my plea. I'm in love.
