    Chord of Calling Is this good? Bad? Token support? Thoughts?

    General Fight Club

    Heirloom Blade vs Loxodon Warhammer I'm currently running the latter, but I'm not sure if it's the right card given my power level. Thoughts?

    Card/Deck Elite Equipments

    I just don't like Batterskull because it has lifelink. The rest is fine, even if you cheat it into play. But +4/+4 and Lifelink is hard to overcome and doesn't lend itself to interesting matches. That said, I should consider swtiching Loxodon Warhammer, which is too expensive to equip with...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Hey, thanks for the thoughts Trainmaster. Evolution Sage is a test, mostly to see which direction I take Selesnya and if I dip into artifact support for green or not. Note that while I do have plenty of cards that work with with tokens by giving them +1/+1 counters, I don't have any cards that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks for the thought Trainmaster. Oracle was indeed the wrong card for my cube. I mean, my cube is pretty much done at 6-7 mana, there's no use for more than that. And with its feeble body, it was not actually a good control card. I'm not getting much mileage of Oracle of Mul Daya, either...

    What do you guys think of using Growth Charm over Regrowth?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    They really are! I'm actually glad Helm is making its way into more decks because it's a very interesting card. And while it's very good, it costs 6 mana and a creature before it does anything. So I'm very happy about it.

    General Making broken cards fair

    I agree that Hymn to Tourach is not much weaker than Mind Twist. If I were strict, I wouldn't run Hymn either because it's also dumb. For me there are two big differences: 1) The BB cost. This is a surprisingly impactful limitation. 2) You can't wipe your opponent's entire hand with it. For me...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I was bored and decided to try a bit of +1/+1 counters/Selesnya tokens subtheme and it works very well! Lands 1 Windswept Heath Ones 1 Champion of the Parish 1 Mikaeus, the Lunarch 1 Mother of Runes 1 Experiment One 1 Stonecoil Serpent Twos 1 Selfless Spirit 1 Thalia's Lieutenant 1 Metallic...

    General Making broken cards fair

    I wrote this thread a year ago, befoer I knew too much about cubing. Here's what I've found about broken cards: Tinker Sneak Attack Bribery Metalworker Entomb Stoneforge Mystic These are all easy to fit into a cube at diverse power levels by being careful about your top end. It can be a bit...

    General Making broken cards fair

    The thing with Oppossition is that it's fun to draft and it creates a viable, interesting archetype in a guild that lacks it. You can also include several colours, include more creatures or more disruption or combine it with other decks. I think that's the appeal of the card. But it's just...

    General Blue cantrips or "Why not run a billion Brainstorms?"

    For a long time, I have had three blue cantrips in my cube: Ponder Preordain Brainstorm But I've noticed two of those are sorceries and I've been tempted to do a Wadell and just run lots of Brainstorms over them. But why? I don't know why I should choose one over the other. So here are some...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I decided to slap down a random 3-drop and just add Beast Within. Which I'm sure is a bad card, but oh well. To be honest, while there are a couple cards I might cut or replace here and there, I'm very happy with how things turned out. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR. A YEAR OF DESIGN.

    It's far from busted in cube. At five mana, it requires a specific build to work. Something like Ramp can make good use of it to refill. It's also good with Welder and graveyard-based synergies. Consider the following: - Wheel of Fortune, Windfall and Timetwister are not very strong in cube. -...
