    General It's time to put your cube on a diet

    Here's an example of what I want a 'normal' aggro deck to look like: Ones 1 Mother of Runes 1 Student of Warfare 1 Figure of Destiny 1 Judge's Familiar 1 Kytheon, Hero of Akros 1 Doomed Traveler 1 Brave the Elements 1 Path to Exile Twos 1 Accorder Paladin 1 Knight of the White Orchid 1...

    Epochrasite is wonderful, it works with so many things

    Card/Deck Someone sell me on Birthing Pod (but first, long backstory)

    It's been fine in my environment but that's because a blank card that let you sac creatures at will would be borderline playable given the strategies I push. It's a niche card unless your Cube is dense with cards that leave bodies around.

    When Skinrender 'fails', it's really bad. I want my removal spell to remove Polukranos, Courser of Kruphix, Spellskite, Ojutai Exemplars, Thundermaw Hellkite, or whatever, not just weaken it. Killing persist creatures is especially nice in my Cube, but beyond that I'd rather have Shriekmaw and...

    Even when I was fully committed to Gravecrawler, I wanted the other ETB removal creatures over Skinrender.

    Skinrender is actively bad IMO, if I'm running a clunky removal spell I want it to hit the things I care about Villain playing at that stage of the game

    eh, I like it when my villains are smart about it and aren't just dicks for the sake of being dicks. RIP aMSa :(

    False Prophet Anyone have thoughts on this? It's unfortunate that white has very few sac outlets, but there's appeal to a Wrath+ that works with Recruiter/Alesha/Reveillark/whatever

    OG Garruk is almost the perfect planeswalker, and I'd definitely recommend it

    why do you even play Magic if you don't want to Pod Gurmag Angler into Craterhoof Behemoth

    Do let people talk you out of True-Name Nemesis though

    You mean Spirit Loop?

    In actual competitive EDH, this card would not be close to playable. In the form of EDH that most groups play, where you can do whatever you want for the first 12 turns or so as long as you aren't offending anyone, this is one of the many things you can put in your deck.

    Diakonov's Cube (450)

    An aggro enchantment deck with good GW guys (e.g. Fleecemane Lion and Voice of Resurgence, both of which are conveniently well-suited to suiting up creatures) is fairly easy to build into a Cube. For a midrange/control/combo/whatever enchantment deck, you have to ensure it can keep pace with the...

    I hope BfZ has enough cheap landfall cards that going animal with fetchlands et al. is viable across most/all colours

    For argument's sake, if Acolyte were a vanilla 3/6 would it still be interesting? The most natural comparison isn't Latch Seeker, it's some other random beater that invites the 'take it or chump' dynamic in the same way. ETA: I want Chandra's Ignition to be good; the idea of casting it on...
