    I'm not saying that there aren't cool matches featuring U/W Heroic, but after playing 4/5 matches against it at FNM for like 2 straight weeks and seeing it in like 50% of an SCG stream like a month back I'm tired of it. From personal experience playing against it, it's just so easy for them to...

    It's just not interesting at all to me. There's not much decision making to be done from what I've seen of U/W Heroic and playing against it. Most of the time it was drop a dude, protect the dude, ride him to victory off Ordeal of Thassa and whatnot. It's just so easy when you have spells that...

    God I hate watching Heroic on camera, but not as much as G/W Manifest. I really hope that we see less of both of them around.

    I'd say doubling up on Mutavault depends on how powerful your recursive strategy is with Gravecrawlers in your zombie drafter to Cube. I had to cut my 2nd copy because it became way too easy for the zombie drafter to restart his chain with a zombie available on the field pretty much all the time...

    Shamim's Cube

    Been a long while since my last update here, but I'm up to 405 for the Cube and made a good number of changes since the last time. Like I mentioned in another thread, Dash has been a fantastic mechanic thus far, I love giving aggro a way to apply pressure without committing to the board and...

    Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury Mardu Strike Leader Lightning Berserker Zurgo Bellstriker Goblin Heelcutter I've seen all of them in action aside from Strike Leader (really want to curve this into Braids one time), and they've been solid. Most surprising was Goblin Heelcutter who has just been...

    Ran a 6 man draft tonight, we had a lot of good red cards in our pool so both I and the guy who went 3-0 made some fun Aggro decks. I went with a Mardu Aggro playing a ton of one-drops (I think like 8) and topping out at 4 on my curve. I don't know how many Dash guys you all are running, but it...

    Anyone have any results from testing yet? Might be able to host 1 or 2 drafts on campus this week, pretty stoked.

    Just don't tickle your Johhny at the dinner table. It's frowned upon.

    After the prerelease and giving a more thorough look at the cards in the set, I think there are way more cards that I want to try out that I had thought. Especially after the prerelease: Arashin Foremost Dragon Hunter Ojutai Exemplars Secure the Wastes Blood-Chin Rager Rakshasa Gravecaller...

    Evasive Hexproof = bad, but guys like Geist are just fine. Unless you suit him up or make him huge somehow, he's not going to just be able to attack whenever he wants. Everything can deal with a 2/2. I think even new Ojutai should be fine since he has only conditional hexproof, and I've been...

    Yeah, agree with you there, definitely not as straightforward w/deck building as I thought it would be. I was also amazed by how much value exploit generated over the course of a game. It is a super super sweet mechanic. Rakshasa Gravecaller and that one that gives -3/-3 to target creature were...

    Yeah, new Sidisi is awesome. We had one in our 2HG sealed pool and it was awesome. I played a BR deck and exploiting Dragon Fodder tokens was so much value. One time I actually tutored for an Impact Tremors which slowly killed the other team (since it's basically Purphoros in 2HG). Then in...

    I don't agree about innovation from the Gamecube being that much better than the other two. I'm sure there are GC titles that fit under that umbrella (not as familiar since I never owned one), but off the top of my head I can't remember that many games where I went holy shit this is amazing...

    The Wii sucked Donkey Kong sized balls if you actually liked playing video games. It was a cool concept and Nintendo definitely made a boatload by hitting new demographics, but aside from Smash and a few other titles, I never really thought much of the Wii. It was more gimmicky than anything to...

    I have a ton of foils in my Cube, look to pick them up whenever I can as long as its reasonable. It's pretty fun going through random binders and freaking out over dumb foils that no one else cares about. I love my foil Syncopate.

    Haven't touched the new Smash yet and I barely played any of Brawl, mostly because the Wii sucked. Played a ton of Melee though, that game was the best. I still play classic Smash on the N64 whenever I head back home though. We usually get a 4 man going at my friends house, so fun. Samus and...
