I've mentioned the Gaea's Blessing control decks before, and watching Finkel go off with Seasons Past at the PT got me thinking about it for Cube. You can do similar things with Primal Command + Regrowth/Eternal Witness, but Seasons Past is the entire effect in one package and is a very powerful...

The UWR Firemane Angel deck that Grillo linked was one of my first loves, another favourite: Twos 4 Wall of Roots 4 Rune Snag Threes 4 Kitchen Finks 4 Mulldrifter 3 Firespout 2 Slaughter Pact Fours 4 Careful Consideration 4 Cryptic Command 3 Makeshift Mannequin Sixes 3 Cloudthresher 1...

I'm sure we've had a similar thread before but it's still an issue so I figured I'd make a new one. My problem is twofold: - It's hard to build control decks when most of your card choices have synergy rather than raw power in mind. Control needs the generically good cards - the glue that...

Dan Carlin is too overdramatic for my tastes but is a good place to start. Mike Duncan's History of Rome and Revolutions are more to my liking. 99% Invisible is a podcast about hidden aspects of design of everyday things, it's often really interesting and episodes are bite-size so it's easy to...

how often is it better than Caller of the Claw, a Predator's Howl that you can Collected Company into and is a mana cheaper, which is really important for that kind of effect?

Predator's Howl,

Went a combined 11-0 with these beauties at last week's Cube session: Khans Cube (5-0): Ones 1 Mother of Runes 1 Swords to Plowshares Twos 1 Remand 1 Feeling of Dread 1 Valorous Stance 1 Azorius Charm Threes 1 Boros Reckoner 1 Serendib Efreet 1 Jori En, Ruin Diver 1 Shu Yun, the...

dubs Unearth, who's in?

Geistblast is also great with Devastating Dreams/Nostalgic Dreams (!!!), Dig Through Time/Treasure Cruise I had this SoI draft deck yesterday, which was just as fun as it looks: Ones 1 Insolent Neonate 2 Thraben Gargoyle 1 Lightning Axe Twos 1 Thing in the Ice 1 Tormenting Voice...

3-year bump because Firestorm is GOAT

yes, see also Lightning Axe + Geistblast or Firestorm + Geistblast (ding ding ding!)

I like Mystic Enforcer, but I'd like it a lot more if it didn't have pro-black

me neither it's a great pack, I would happily take Hierarch, Rabblemaster, SFGM, DLS Profane Command is my jam though

Spell Burst I remember this being a great control 'finisher' back in TSP Block/Standard. It feels a lot less oppressive than Forbid/Capsize, since it's easier to overload by casting multiple spells in a turn.

my PT report is FINALLY finished; anyone fancy proof-reading/criticizing 10k words for me?
