BRIEF INTERLUDE: 27 uses for a Soldevi Adnate

Jason/Eric: Could we add a easily findable link to the old Google group somewhere? There's some stuff there worth reading. Caramel: The most important piece of advice I could give to a new Cuber is to run fewer gold cards (or rather, more manafixing) and fewer 4 CMC cards. Strangely I don't...

Went over it here, but a rehash: I'm running all 5 Gods, 2 Gray Merchant, Abhorrent Overlord (as a Myr Battlesphere-esque curve-topper for black), 2 Master of Waves, 1/2 Fanatic of Mogis, and considering Mogis's Marauder. It's true that Thassa/Master don't fit neatly into a 'typical' blue...

The Wire is poorly written guilt porn for white people.

To answer Jason's question, there really aren't many good incentives to go deep into green or white (Honor the Pure I guess?) afaict. Blue/black/red are all much better in that regard and also have stronger colour-intensive cards to unlock those rewards.

I never liked III. Barely any removal, lots of ways to punish people for the smallest misstep in development. Only a small subset of games were actually competitive, and most of those weren't fun either.

I hate The Wire more than I hate Bow of Nylea.

That link confirmed what I thought tbh: white has good creatures, good removal, not much interesting

So it was said in another thread that white is the hardest colour to fashion a distinct identity for, and I think most of us agree. Nothing I've tried has worked, so I've had to resort to doubling up on white' strongest cards and just riding them rather than playing off white's strengths as a...

Overload is a sweet mechanic in general.

A play that just happened in a test game: A: Mogg War Marshal, Murderous Redcap, Phyrexian Metamorph copying Redcap, Purphoros B: Vengevine, Gravecrawler, Lotleth Troll, Abhorrent Overlord + 4 tokens A casts Devastating Dreams for 3. B's whole board dies... except for the Overlord. A gets a...

Obelisk of Alara?

I had Sovereigns come with Eldrazi Conscription for a while. Also: Consecrated Sphinx, Yosei, Pristine Angel, Elspeth Sun's Champion, Admonition Angel, Crovax Ascendant Hero, Carnifex Demon, Exalted Angel, Oona, Predator Dragon (a personal fave), Geth

Nightmare, Opposition, Profane Command all saw a lot of play in Constructed.

Agony Warp or Mystical Teachings

One big difference is that I play Armageddon in close to 100% of my control decks, whereas I can't imagine doing that with Nether Void. If you want that kind of effect to push aggro but don't want other decks fighting over it, Void might be a better choice.

Nether Void counts towards devotion meshes well with the curve of black aggro decks, as you can still play 1- and 2-mana spells the turn after; this is often true of Armageddon too, but Void doesn't lock out the game automatically the way Armageddon sometimes does.

How was Eldrazi Monument?
