He's a pet card but he pulls his weight. The body isn't very impressive, but sometimes people forget to account for Bushido. He sits back and dies - often - to a lot of removal, but usually he'll recur one or two spells before he eats it. It's dependent on how late you cast him, and sometimes he...

this is a cool idea for a thread! Here's my nods: Imposing Sovereign Tragic Arrogance Prohibit Spell Snare Agent of the Fates Toshiro Umezawa Pillage Skyshroud Elite Heartwood Storyteller Coiling Oracle Stun Sniper

I think Dictate is okay, but I don't know that Mine is quite made for your environment, though some of your aggro decks might want it. I'm equally as stubborn so let's not worry about cuts just yet! Codex Shredder over Bell might just make the difference in playability. Now that I've cast it a...

Here's my other two drafts for reference (what can I say, I like Gifts): I'd try Loaming Shaman over Journey to be honest, it's surprisingly versatile. More looting effects is a cool way to fill graveyards that jives with grindy incremental advantage. I wouldn't double up on magmatic insight...

There's a new Kill Reviews, and it's a two-parter on core sets. Read it! http://blog.killgoldfish.com/2015/07/kill-reviews-core-sets-alpha-through.html http://blog.killgoldfish.com/2015/07/kill-reviews-core-sets-magic-2010.html

Seems doable to me, just needs a different build: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/363637[/url]"] Ones 1 Elves of Deep Shadow 1 Llanowar Elves 1 Thought Scour 1 Unearth Twos 1 Fauna Shaman 1 Golgari Thug 1 Mulch 1 Satyr Wayfinder 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Snapcaster Mage Threes 1 Bone Shredder 1 Bow...

yo run more counterspells at 1 instead Aetherling has been a big hit here, it's a finisher with its own play style and feels incredibly blue imo

Do it! He was most frightening here with recursive dudes like 2 Shields, but he makes the opponent think long and hard about which creatures they can afford to let live forever, and at what cost. Having an opponent pay life to send a dude to the graveyard only for you to reanimate it is a...

I think Veteran Explorer will find, in fact, that talking in a foreign accent about "football" is mondo hot and that being able to break the symmetry of Explorer's ramp (either by fixing more colours or just having a higher curve) makes it okay most of the time. He's a popular 1-drop for pod...

I've tried a few of them. I like Ephara, Keranos, Athreos and Pharika as solid value engines that are sometimes powerful creatures. Pharika needs to be animated the most of those four, Ephara works great in UW creature decks as a source of consistent advantage, Athreos is a cool death by a...

Legacy says hi and nods suggestively in the direction of its cute single friend, Veteran Explorer the other cool thing about Pod is that it's a nonpoisonous new archetype you can add to a cube, with a wealth of options, for the low cost of three slots. If your players enjoy creative...

Even Techier Twos: Mayor of Avabruck Pack Rat Hellspark Elemental

The thing I like most about Cube is I always feel like my players walk away just a little bit better at Magic every week. also bullshitting w/ friends i don't see a lot.

Which is why he has to hurt the consistency of gold midrange!

Maybe it's my Legacy background but I'm really not that fussed about distinct colour identities. The speed of our format means players are still incentivized to build reasonable mana bases (don't stumble!). I don't wanna minimize what Magic is for you, ahada, but I think the cost of splashing in...

I've now run at different times 1-4 in a 360 and also think that 3 is the best. That said, right now I'm only running two, and running a pair of Collected Companies to balance that out (and to give Pod a slight break). Here's what I think you get at different multiples: 1/360: some green...

this is fallacious, imo. The games where a green deck has a mana dork on turn 1, pretty much any three-drop (or a two- and one- together) is going to make that tempo leap for you. Without all that many dorks to play on turn one the green deck should consciously draft twos to have non-dork strong...

It is very very very good. Mana leak is basically Counterspell anyway and OG counterspell is like a proactive vindicate. I've run it on and off, though I haven't had it in for a while. If I have a hand of four cards, and one of them is Counterspell and another is lightning bolt, I've conquered...

gross, dude. There's smug and there's being a dick.
