    General The Constructed thread

    I also have an Esper list I've been tweaking as well over the last two weeks. I'm kinda eh on the mana base right now, might want to make room for another Urborg and throw in another Strand. I'm currently at: Planeswalkers 3 Elspeth, Sun's Champion Sorceries 3 Divination 4 End Hostilities...

    Sets [C14] Commander 2014 Spoilers

    Man, they packed so much flavor into that text. These are the kinds of legendaries I like seeing. Great art, interesting abilities, and delicious flavor.

    I maindeck a single copy of Utter End in the Esper Control list I've put together for this Standard. It's been pretty sweet everytime I've drawn it in the mid-late game.

    Really? He's been pretty sweet everytime I've seen him cast. He just does work. Worst case, your opponent is up a card but just burnt relevant removal on a three-drop that would have been used on your bomb. Also, the foil is super sweet looking, like most of the enchantment creature cards. I...

    General "Colorless" Cube

    Why not just run Worldknit? This idea seems pretty wonky to me. There's no cost to picking anything and you'll have decks that are all over the place. I mean, Worldknit decks already muck up drafts (though they are really sweet when it's well-built with looters and stuff) and I think giving...

    Traded in a bunch of Standard stuff at my LGS tonight. Picked up these goodies: Grove of the Burnwillows Karn Liberated Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker And picked up these in foil: Fabled Hero Master of the Feast Ash Zealot Lingering Souls It was a good night.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Good stuff. And yeah, I do run a mini-RB sacrifice theme so Sarkhan should slot in pretty nicely. I think I might just have a rotating cast of Walkers in the gold slots and depending on who is in the Cube for a given draft, I'll plug in like one or two complementary cards.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Two cards that I might be able to trade for later in the week and would be interested in running some time: Sarkhan the Mad Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas I've never run Sarkhan in anything but I've seen him in a few lists here, how good is he? As for Tezz, what should I be including to enable him...

    General How Much Burn is Too Much Burn

    I run a UR Spellslinger with double Pyromancers and Delvers so it's kinda useful there. For the most part, I just think it's a sweet spell and Scry 2 is so relevant in the decks that it slots into. From playing Standard on and off the last year, Scry 1 had been okay but it never had a huge...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Whoops, not actually a grid draft (though it was an 8x8 grid), but it's called a quilt draft. I basically lay out an 8x8 with cards alternating with the short (top/bottom edge) and long ends (side) sticking out and you can only draft cards with a short end sticking out. We go until each of us...

    General How Much Burn is Too Much Burn

    Going by strictly red instants/sorceries that can go to the dome I'm at 13/360, roughly 3.6%. I think that's about right for 360. Lightning Bolt Incinerate Lightning Strike Magma Jet Magma Jet Brimstone Volley Char Stoke the Flames Pillar of Flame Pillar of Flame Arc Lightning Red Sun's Zenith...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Didn't 3-0 with this or anything, but I did make this from a one-on-one grid draft against a buddy of mine. It was a pretty sweet Rakdos build: Ones 1 Bonesplitter 1 Duress 1 Inquisition of Kozilek 1 Pillar of Flame 1 Firedrinker Satyr Twos 1 Blood Artist 1 Smallpox 1 Young Pyromancer 1...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    Maybe I just tend towards defensive decks in this cube, here's a midrangey Abzan build: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/207472[/url]"] Twos 1 Abrupt Decay 1 Contagion Clasp 1 Pacifism 1 Savage Punch 1 Tidehollow Sculler 1 Wall of Omens Threes 1 Abzan Falconer 1 Battering Krasis 1 Fertilid 1...

    Charm Cube (Shards/Wedges)

    Love the idea behind this cube, was thinking about implementing a tri-color theme sometime this Winter into my own Cube. I didn't think to take it this far though, super interesting! This is what I came up with, wish I coulda had another fetch or relevant land-cycler come my way...

    I like this meta far better than Theros thus far. There are so many more interesting decks than there were last year during PT Theros. It was kind of crappy seeing the control lists just get wrecked on camera, but they must have been doing something right off camera to get so far. The Abzan...

    Sets [KTK] Khans of Tarkir Spoilers

    Yeah, that's the first thing I came to after seeing Delve in the set. It fits in pretty well with any graveyard and gives more value to any effect that dumps stuff into the grave. Delve wise, I'm only running the three best delve spells from KTK (Dig, Cut, Cruise), but putting them in allowed me...

    Shamim's Cube

    Haven't had a chance to draft Cube w/my playgroup yet since the Delve/Reanimator update, but I've since gone and made other big changes. Picked up a copy of Crucible of Worlds in a trade the other day and got a 2nd copy of each KTK fetch so I can now play with 10 fetches in the Cube. Sweet! Also...

    Card/Deck Cogwork Librarian

    It's pretty sweet. My drafters love it so much that I've bumped it up to two, really fun draft card. Most of the time it's like a 3rd or 4th pick.
