-I think game two I pulled off Delver>daze>flip(revealing Counterspell) turns 1-2 exactly as Grillo describes, and Chris was at 10 life when the Delver actually died. That kind of aggro start really does a number on the clunky decks. -Curse of the Shallow Grave has gone from a card I have...

Fulminator is great and fun but I'm really curious about Magus actually. Don't cut Fulminator for it though.

2-1, the three Brainstorms did a lot of work in making sure my deck didn't pull itself apart caring about the wrong things at the wrong time. e: as if the deck weren't busted to begin with, the sidebar is obscuring Treasure Cruise

The high-power card to compare Elixir to is Time Spiral, imo, which is also cool and fun and interesting. I like EE over RB but some of my drafters don't. Also Explosives plays better with Academy Ruins, imo

Unfortunately I think the problem is that Steppe LynxKnight of the ReliquaryRetreat to Coralhelm does it better and it lets you play counterspells to protect the combo. also voice I think?

You're already running KG's C, right? Major Tom to K Command? Blightning is sweet, Return is awesome with fast mana and underwhelming late, but the Command I think is the best 1RB damage-discard spell. 'Cliquing' someone on their draw step also rules

Esper Charm and it's not even close. It's a good end-of-turn draw spell, one of a few instant-speed discards worth playing, and i think esper can use a bonus Erase more than Feed the Clan. I'll splash for Esper Charm and I don't think I would for Dromar's, at any rate. Dromar's has better...

Crackling Doom is a card that excites me a lot and I get why maybe that's not universal but like aren't we all concerned about Planeswalker value? like, it reliably zaps their worst threat (getting around problem mechanics like hexproof or Frost Titan tax at the same time) and the shock often...

the card is already miserable, don't take out their only flier at the same time

I ran Impulse until like a week ago when I cut it for Dig through Time (when did I cut dig? why did I hate on a super fun card?). It's a super valid play in 40-card decks, although I did fire it off turn two sometimes (usually to find Jeskai Ascendancy on curve). also it rewards consistent...

I'm in.

Stuff I'd entomb for: Life from the Loam / Darkblast utility lands, if I have Loam Bloodsoaked Champion / Skaab Ruinator removal if I have a regrowth effect Firebolt Riftstone Portal (ULD) I really like the idea of Vengeful Pharoah as a black five in a graveyard environment.

all the time yo

He's a comically bad welder. e: Unexpectedly Absent for the pun

it's so stark when you look at the guild slots: Golgari has Putrefy, Deed, Spiritmonger and Grave-Shell Scarab; Azorius gets Teferi's Moat and Galina's Knight. Then I noticed Top and Clamp and had to stop

I think I took too long during the draft to settle into an archetype, hoping to decide between some kind of grixis aggro-control and BG sacrifice build based on what came up late, but actually I just wound up scrambling for playables. I had two sideboard Delvers I couldn't use because I didn't...

Cube is about curving out and techy plays, right? Even cubes that don't come out of the gates running still reward deliberate mana development and efficient use thereof. Thoughtseize standard (the worst one anyway) was ruined by the lack of t2 plays better than thoughtseize your answer>pack rat...

you're probably right, I'll make some changes when I boost aggro. javelineers are a relic of a while ago i've kept to kill 2/1s doomwake is the liminal enchantress theme and was supposed to hate on tokens. my other black 5s kinda obsolete it now tho and I can find something cooler. kiku, see...
