I think they're great. I would happily splash a forest/Sacred Foundry and some fetches to make them bigger. You don't actually need to play green to make these guys worth it, but it's easier. However, keep in mind that CML cut his Zoo support because it was winning too often. (I haven't had any...

Hunter of Eyeblights Avatar of Woe anybody?

Once or twice every two months. Except I had a 5-man last night and maybe something tomorrow. I'm somewhat excited.

Don't bring a hammer to a gun fight. I prefer the depressed gunner who hates his job.

Is Booster Tutor worth running? I have a random foil lying around, and I'm wondering if I should trade it off or use it. I'm trying Oust because Swords is too strong for my tastes. They don't seem to play too differently, so Unexpectedly Absent might be better, but sorcery speed is a plus in...

I play Commander occasionally (enough to call it Commander, I guess) and abhor most proxies. The proxies in our area are typically slips of paper with "Top" or, even worse, basics with Sharpie. No detail, just names. Not only are they always proxies of confusing cards, but they look atrocious. I...

Reading that set review... Astral Cornucopia is called the porn horn? First I've heard. Herald of Torment isn't great? At 3, 3/3 flying is scary, especially when you can give it to something else. Why does he like Deglamer and Torch Fiend more than this? His Pain Seer and Spirit of the...

My aversion to LD probably comes from the Commander version: "Lemme take 30 turns to kill you while I lock the game." I'll eventually add better LD now that I know how to design better. I know someone will want it. I still don't think Stone Rain would have done enough against ramp. Tec Edge...

Jace and Stone Rain can both be viewed as GRBS, though. I like to be able to play the game without a single card ruining my day, and Stone Rain can do that even if I take it into account. Ok, so the Caw-Blade example isn't the best. Jace did break Standard with the amount of card advantage the...

Uh, removal plus pressure does a reasonable job of killing ramp decks. They usually keep drawing more ramp if you deal with the first couple threats. Delver of Secrets forced ramp to play Whipflares and Slagstorms just playing Vapor Snags and 3/2s. Caw Blade just asked Jace to kindly -1. There's...

Yeah, I meant without many conscious changes to the cube. Sorry, I was in a bit too much of a hurry to elaborate. Had to take care of some cats. Well, I guess I should put him in next time I overhaul my cube.

Is he worth running on his own without much devotion? Aside: I keep having the urge to say "Smell ya later" when I hear Gary instead of Gray Merchant. I'm not even a fan of Pokemon. Why can't it be "Welcome!" "Wot're ya buying?" It makes so much more sense!

Most drafts I've had, I've mentioned what is different/not singleton. I mention the Pods and Gravecrawlers and increased fixing for multicolor, but I haven't seen anyone go deep enough into the archetypes. It's frustrating cuz I'm not sure how much support to put in before it's OP and we don't...

>:O I look forward to Culling Mark in draft. Block my 1/1 scorpion. BLOCK IT!

Sorry for the late reply, guys. I recently picked up a Varolz, Sylvan Library, Dryad Arbor, and Nylea, among other things. I'm looking for spots for the green things, Pod #4, and a Gargadon. I'm still looking to reduce/slow down the removal, but I'm kinda stumped on what to cut without playing...

I'm still new to cubing in general, let alone playing/supporting combo, so I can only ask questions. My experience with combo decks ends at borrowing Legacy ANT, MUD, and Dredge a few times for quick games. How fast do the games go? Are there consistent turn 1-2 wins? Or is there enough...

I have three already. =.= I can add the last Gravecrawler and Pod, since they kinda need the last one. No one except me has given the sac outlets a second look though... I'm going to lower the removal count before I cut out possibilities. I think a Dread Return would be a safe addition...

Counting liberally, I counted 105 pieces of creature/mass removal, without considering finishers. Including those and the defensive creatures brings it to around 115. Consider it nerfed. Stormbreath was in cuz I didn't have time to proxy a Thundermaw before the draft, but I do want to try it...

I had a draft over the weekend for my birthday. It was somewhat last-minute, so I only had 5 people. We had fun, but everything seemed open. How do you guys draft with 4-6 people? Do you mess with the pack size or the deck size? Or do you just play? I made a few changes before the draft...

That's only because timing and guesswork don't take as long in fighting games. For example, MvC3 matches equate to 1 combo, 1 down. With three characters, good pressure and the occasional lucky hit make for very quick matches. Street Fighter and ArcSys games are slower, but they still take half...
