    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Make a Welder Reanimator thread, I'd be really exited! I always feel like I'm not fully using that guy. I agree that sacrifice shenanigans are the best way for most of RB to go but I've liked Dash as a "themeless theme" that can be expressed in the role-player cards I pick and not just special...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    yeah, the first alternate cost (dash) triggers the second one (raid) and that's why I've been saying that running more haste dudes has made Bloodsoaked Champion really great i will say that I run more counterspells than you guys do, as well as a bunch of instant-speed (and not-instant-speed)...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Tried it, wasn't good enough for me but might barely be playable for you. I wouldn't run it over other options though. I think it's worth emphasizing the power of dash: I'm an aggressive deck, I have two dudes on the board at the start of my turn. My opponent has a wall of omens and a bunch...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    aww shucks! I really like your cube! Finding my power band has been a long process but I think I'm almost there. Big Jace used to be AOT until recently. My hope is that he'll empower control strats a bit more, and give my players more practice casting brainstorm. It's all well and good to -1...

    I haven't posted about my Cube in a little while, let's fix that! (also some people wanted me to bump the thread) http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/4863 http://www.cubetutor.com/decks/4863 http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/4863 Design parameters: -feeling of a cutoff between three-mana...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    It can get more midrange by combining with instant-speed tokens (still get the Ambuscade Shaman buff when they ETB), splashing another colour (usually GRb but often WBr). I haven't been really pushing it much, more just a few haste dudes and dash guys (ambuscade shaman is the most egregious...

    Plaid Magic 360 Counters Matter Cube

    this was bugging me so I thought I'd do some quick math! I did some sweet magiccards.info searches and identified cards that mentioned the graveyard, could be cast from it, dealt with creatures going to the graveyard, discard, and pretty much any way a card could be related to the graveyard as a...

    bloodsoaked champion i paid a hundred dollars for my sleeves, er get real blazed and write a pseudo-feature PULL UP TO THE SCENE, MY SKILL CEILING'S LIFTING @rasmus: most of them! I'm heavy into the CMC 3 or less paradigm so it's basically your pick of targets. It's a lower-powered card...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    delirious biznasty gross (and fun! do you attack with the necromancer to trigger raid? can your opponent be more efficient than your recurring 2/1 for two?) Right now I'm running 2x Champion of the Parish, 2x Bloodsoaked Champion, 1x Xathrid and 1x Mayor in 360 and they each let humans decks...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    I think this is the right place for the following post? Has it mattered before this point? Bloodsoaked Champion Bloodsoaked Champion bloodsoaked champion is better than gravecrawler (for my cube and maybe yours too? 2x in a 360.) -i stopped at the drug store on my way home and bought some...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    I've been playing my comp. higher-powered cube with scrylands main (and now ULD, but as the first guild cycle) basically since they came out, they're almost perfect cube lands. the amount of selection they give players (as well as the brief time it takes to scry 1 vis a vis fetching and...

    Plaid Magic 360 Counters Matter Cube

    Yeah, I tried for some midrange decks too. They seemed pretty brutal, the top-end really is crowding out your synergistic middling cards. At one point, I had the draft choice between Grave Titan, a Sword, and technically thirteen other cards. Surely that comes up enough to be irksome...

    Pacifism is a stone cold classic and i won't stand for this assault on its honour. never forget Jaya Ballard, the planeswalker we all wanted to be when we grew up: Inferno Sizzle Meteor Shower The introduction of post-lorwyn planeswalkers as the main characters in flavour text does a lot for...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    yes, and it's still a Constructed card. Pod at least only asks for a couple dudes of each cost, Vial wants you to fill your entire deck with three-drops or oops it doesn't work anymore. I'd squadron it over running multiple slots. I run three Pods and it's been fine, but I tried tripling up on...
