I'm trying to make an effort to collect my MtG writing on tumblr: http://mtgsharzad.tumblr.com There's a lot of stuff that isn't there, unfortunately, but as I see good posts I spent time on I'm gonna be archiving them there.

3c cards I'd play in power cube: Leovold, Emissary of Trest Kess, Dissident Mage Nicol Bolas, the Ravager Cruel Ultimatum Karador, Ghost Chieftain Broodmate Dragon Tamiyo, Field Researcher Three grixis ones, and not all the guilds, either. It's a high bar

I found it anemic but was running very little in the way of token gen. With re-adding Bitterblossom on my mind, Scourge might find its way back in... e: and let's not forget the synergy with both +1's on Sarkhan, Fireblood!

What a beautiful deck! It took me a minute to really 'get' it, but hoo boy. You crazy for this one, Dom.

Cathartic Voice isn't really that hard to cast, because there's the base-level smoothing effect where you might have too many (or too few) lands in hand. It's easy to pitch your 1 graveyard card and a spare mountain

weren't the Lairs pretty awful? I'd way rather have a cycling land.

I have half of the Planechase planes and I used to bust them out if people really wanted to play multiplayer. We did a thing I read about online once but haven't ever seen again, but which I think is pretty fun: Shuffle your stack of planes like normal, and then lay out 5 planes in a +...

Now that the full spoiler's out, what are people looking to run / try out?

Really fascinating idea. So, a 'Scarab God scale' is a score from 1 to 5 evaluating a card's ability to overshine whatever cool synergy we're excited about with just being a little too pushed? This could be useful. Other 5s: Pack Rat, Jitte a 4 might be, uh, Brago, King Eternal?

Children of Korlis Laboratory Maniac

I'm really stoked about the CCDD uncommons. I think they all look absolutely bananas and I want to play all of them a lot.

Another card I think I really like: green feeling CA? Say it ain't so! And it's more interesting than Season's Past...

Golgari just gives and gives and gives! Check this out: Can't wait to regrow Wastelands with one or both of these. Maybe we'll be getting new lands that you want to sacrifice?

I'm more amazed anyone else knew about the Babylon 5 CCG.

Hey, me too! I definitely had an issue in like 2015 where I was trying to make my power band as flat as possible, really amped up on synergistic picks. But the fact of the matter was that my drafters didn't share my enthusiasm for P1P1-ing between two equivalently-strong answers, or threats they...

big ups to my homie Rishkar. love that dude

I don't like Llanowar Mentor at probably most power levels. It's really clunky and most of the spellshapers are either not worth using or become every-turn plans (also dull). Some early R/G discard outlets not mentioned yet: (higher-power first, then lower-power. not a precisely sorted list)...

extremely good card is obviously extremely good, but I really like it for Cube, too. Splash hate on problem lands, enchantments, etc. while reducing non-games due to screw. I don't see any of us cutting Abrupt Decay, but if you're still playing Putrefy this seems like it does more for your format.

One cool thing about the lich is you can't deck yourself, because it replaces the draw you'd lose to. TRUE IMMORTALITY
