Yeah that's the obvious one, but just turning dumb animals sideways doesn't feel as fun or unique as Blink is in U/W, for instance. I guess some kind of Dev Dreams/Wildfire ramp deck ala Standard circa Nationals 2011?

Birthing Pod + Greater Gargadon -> Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

Anchor cards are fun but they - and fringe strategies in general - can only exist comfortably in an environment in which your bread-and-butter aggro/control cards feature heavily. If you try to bend it too far the whole thing snaps.

Any suggestions for a distinct 'identity' for R/G as a colour pair?

This could be a fun build-around-me card in White: Angel of Glory's Rise

I've been waiting for that card for a long time, but would it have killed them to give it 3 starting loyalty?

Ok, redesign time! I know I do this a lot, but with actual drafting a rarity (though this hopefully will change in the New Year) the fun of Cubing is in the design atm. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I've been impressed by devotion. It seems like people need convincing that it's worthwhile, so...

Purphoros, God of the Forge + Saproling Burst hein?

Have I mentioned Nephalia Smuggler yet? Blue doesn't have many 1-drops, and this one is slow but sweet.

I moved out yesterday and get to spend Christmas by myself, which is more than fine for me.

Is there a way to make Howling Mine good in Cube?

And if you just didn't kill their Feeder in response for some reason.

I like everything, but Assassin is legit IMO. It's '6 mana' to remove something, yes, but that can be conveniently staggered over the first 3 turns of the game in a way that forces the opponent to have an immediate answer or risk having their team gunned down every turn.

Yeah, they want anything that references a planeswalker in any capacity to be rare or higher.

It was fun for me back in 09, no idea how good it is now but white has so few interesting effects that I might try it anyway.

I have fond memories of using Screams from Within against Elves in Extended. Hero's Demise when you mean Hero's Downfall is the new Tendrils of Agony for Tendrils of Corruption. Angelic Destiny is very, very good. Most people have an inkling of how strong Elephant Guide is but Moldervine...

Obviously there aren't many blue Zombies, but there's room for a blue Birthing Pod deck. Crucial ingredients: - Pestermite/Deceiver Exarch to untap Pod - Riftwing Cloudskate as a 'cheap' 5-drop to Pod into a good 6 (Consecrated Sphinx? Geralf's Mindcrusher?); see also Phyrexian mana guys...

I don't think you need both Skinrender and Nekrataal.

Curse of the Swine?
