Bouncing a spell might be worth it, it's an additional tempo play in a UR tempo deck that seems pretty nice. Like, if you've been applying pressure to some durdly deck that was hoping to wrath away on T4, this seems like a nice way to just gettem. I'll be cutting out Izzet Charm to try it out...

So I've gotten my hands on the following BFZ cards from this weekend: Brutal Expulsion Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper Lumbering Falls Skyline Cascade Mortuary Mire First 3 in the main cube, last two in ULD. I'm hoping that we'll get 8 tomorrow for another draft and I'll try to report back on how...

Please put in Nettle Drone. Played with that card tonight, it was so sweet.

Yeah I will legit P1P1 Turn Against in this draft format if the rare sucks. That card is such a blowout. I blew out a guy by making his 4/4 block his 4/3 while I chumped his last attacker. It was so gross.

I have no idea, I'll probably try it out. The only problem I could see is that I don't really know where it slots into in our cubes. You don't want it in Mono-Red b/c you pretty much just want bodies early to overwhelm them, and a 2/1 is just easy pickings later. If Landfall is a thing in your...

My prerelease pool was pretty decent, had enough cards to put together a sweet Temur List. I've still got it intact: Creatures 1 Dragonmaster Outcast 2 Ondu Champion 1 Lifespring Druid 1 Nettle Drone 1 Bane of Bala Ged 2 Grove Rumbler 1 Valakut Invoker 2 Incubator Drone 1 Eyeless Watcher 1...

I'm very sad to see Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker cut. He is one of my favorite walkers that they've printed in the last few years, very fair card and just the right power level. And he slots into so many different decks.

I swap the two of them in and out of the cube, I'm a fan of Big Elspeth and OG Gideon. They both do a ton of work in games. Prefer Gideon because he's so flavorful and the art is dope. And I have a foil from ROE so yeah. I honestly don't mind either because there are more than enough answers...

I love Blasphemous Act. I like having control options in non-typical control colored decks and it fits the bill for an interesting boardwipe. Part of the fun is crafting a boardstate or hoping for one where you can actually resolve it and reset the game. It's a boardwipe, but it's not super...

These are the cards that I'm probably going to try out, the lands after Lumbering Falls are all going straight into ULD. 14 total cards, not bad. I know that I'm going to add Ruinous Path and Quarantine Field for sure, Treeternal Witness as well, but most of the others could go either way. Ob is...

We had this yesterday, I wrote up a more detailed post with quick hits from my draft last night in my cube thread: Ones 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Innocent Blood 1 Disfigure 2 Pillar of Flame Twos 1 Soulfire Grand Master 2 Magma Jet 1 Lightning Helix 1 Boros Charm 1 Shrine of Burning Rage Threes...

First 8-man cube draft in about two months or so with everyone back for the school year, had two sweet decks meet in the Finals. My friend ran a Mardu Control sort of build with tons of burn while I ran a B/W aggro deck that promptly got stomped all over the place with 1-for-1 removal. The...

Vamps in Legacy Cube straight trash, I don't understand how this was ever a serious thing. On a sort of related note, I 3-0ed an Innistrad draft last night with friends on the back of B/R Vampires. Double Rakish Heir is insane and Nightbird's Clutches is fucking amazing. I might even consider...

My numbers after a quick look through my cube are: White: 17 Blue: 7 Black: 9 Red: 12 Green: 7 Multicolor: 9 That comes out to a total of 61 humans without any explicit support aside from double Champion of the Parish. Most of them slot into other decks as well, which is perfectly fine with...

Humans are plenty strong enough that I don't really run any specific incentive cards. They just sorta of come together. Like, if you're Mardu aggro or something, pick up a Dark Confidant somewhere in the draft and just draft low cost guys. Utility Draft the Cavern of Souls and you're set. The...

If I can get the cards (mostly mana-base) ready, I think this is what I'll be playing at FNM for a few weeks, super rough draft: Lands 4 Smoldering Marsh 4 Sunken Hollow 4 Bloodstained Mire 4 Polluted Delta 1 Flooded Strand 2 Shivan Reef 2 Island 2 Swamp 2 Mountain 1 Haven of the Spirit...

If a second copy of card allows for a given archetype to become viable or has an effect that I'd like to see duplicated, I'll gladly break singleton. Most prevalent in my black section with Gravecrawler, Bloodsoaked Champion and Carrion Feeder which is pretty much the recursive black aggro deck...

Sower is a cast trigger though, so it doesn't actually work with T&N :(

I did the same as Onderzeeboot. I began with a 360 list and refined it until I had a base that I wanted to work off. After a few drafts, I saw certain decks come together time after time (Birthing Pod, Recursive Aggro, etc.) and it felt a little same-y after a while. I then increased my Cube's...

I've been a huge fan of Dragonlord Silumgar ever since he was released. One of the more fun cards I've played with in a while. It's a nice bomb that is never too oppressive and opens up interesting decisions. Especially gross when stealing an opposing Thunderbreak Regent :D
