Force Spike on turn one, protect the queen from cheap removal, sometimes it's not great against the slower decks but it's always powerful against aggro. More often than not I'd say it goes in blue over non-blue decks, remember that it basically has Kicker {U} : gain 2 life.

Sol Ring on turn one.

Here's my clearest first picks: Kitchen Finks Mox Diamond Wasteland Dark Confidant Elspeth, Sun's Champion Ancestral Vision Curse of Predation Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Young Pyromancer Profane Command Blade Splicer Eternal Witness Mother of Runes Solemn Simulacrum I don't think any are...

milling 2 is so so strong! If you get to six lands, that's six cards milled every untap; it's probably turn 8+ so you only need to defend the mindshrieker for 3-4 turns, including the one you cast it on. That kind of ability to take over the game / abruptly change Villain's priorities is huge...

I've tried to solve the casual playgroup knife/gun fight issue before and all I've had success with are systems where one person handles choosing a format. So I went and got the cards for some Pauper CompCon decks and we had a blast, and then I built a Cube and that was good. I gave people a...

I've thought about it! if you don't want them here, you could start another thread for them, but I don't have any problems changing up the thread's scope a lil.

Aaaand it's a sorcery, just play Pyrokinesis instead There's even a modern-frame printing from the Theros Duel Deck

for a while i thought about (but never followed through with) telling my players, once, that instead of BREAD for traditional limited their draft priorities should be PASTA: Power Answers Synergy Threats Answers (why is Answers twice, Saf? because you need different kinds)

yeah, it's a, uh, battle dumpling with two strength and two burliness, and when it hits the floor I get to learn a spell from my stack. Anyway, ranch the rest of my team - who intercepts?

basically i did the cartoon chef 'mwah' (kisses fingers) thing the entire time i read it so i'm not sure i'm objective either

decent article, but I'm surprised you didn't link "Philisophers Play Multiplayer Magic".

oops! I actually brought in Angel of Finality. which I'm excited to try. Way too pricy, I'm hoping somebody cheats it out. I have a reanimator guy now who's got me excited. The analysis of threaten effects rings true to me, it's rough! I'll try Blind with Anger instead. Thanks for the...

she immediately went to bed, we texted while i was playing Great points, he's back in! Undersupported, underdrafted, underwhelming,. Keeping my promo though because I think it's workable, it just wasn't in that context. Becoming a 3/3 when it's Renowned is deceptively nice. Truths is...

man Augur of Skulls looks amazing with Alesha...a regenerate mana sink to survive combat, then you sacrifice it and bring it back next turn...brutal. I think this idea has some merit. not sure it's worth it unless it can be recurred though.

Tidehollow Sculler is my baby gal and I love casting her but she's more of a tempo play, like if Meddling Mage was colourshifted to Orzhov. I unfortunately don't think Mesmeric Fiend and Brain Maggot are playable even with sacrifice or enchantment synergy; Sculler's 2/2 stat line is the real...

Sure thing. If we're assuming this experiment wants mana dork density levels (5-6 in a 360 cube; or around 1.5% of a cube of size n): high-power: 360: 3x Thoughtseize, 2-3 flex discard, 0-1 mass discard 450: 3x Thoughtseize, 2 IoK, 3 flex discard, 1 mass discard Lower-power: 360: 3x...

it's so, so bad. by turn three in a mono-black deck it's as good as Blackmail, a card already at the margins of most of these discussions. In every other case it's worse, and when you have 4+ swamps out how many cards is your opponent that likely to have in hand? The deckbuilding constraint...

Oh, I'm a Johnny sun sign with a Spike moon, w/b/u?

I wasn't even sure I was gonna do a BFZ prerelease (again, no squad) but I decided in the shower I was gonna head down and see if I could keep pulling only Cubeable rares (spoiler alert: still true, later i'll dish on this). It's a pretty impromptu decision, so I can't heed CML's advice and hit...

Slam pick E-Wit, reconsider briefly when I notice CoCo in the pack, stay with the Witness. Lingering Souls is also very appealing.
