I feel like, if its a 3cc gold removal spell, at this point, it almost has to cantrip to be competitive. I still like electrolyze, and k. command cantrips in a weird way, but that seems to be the standard now.

I realize this is maybe kind of a sensative time to bring up his point, but Lucus nailed the problem with running simple removal spells in gold slots years ago. Everyone else and their mother sucks up the mono-colored removal spells, which is fine, unless you're a control deck, that needs...

I think there is somewhere you can go in the preferences to set it where you don't get auto logged out, which is helpful if you're writing longer posts. I shut if off a long time ago, and can't seem to find it in the menu. For the analysis thing, it is overwhelming. What you want to do...

I think both of them suffer from a number of problems, but sesmic in particular is fairely iconic, and certain playgroups will resonate with it, and try to make it work. Its not necessarly bad to have cards like that, but expectations and all that.

Seismic, because it can hit creatures.

To clarify a little too, since I was referenced, the articulation that was described by one of the drafters, was that my format was "good stuff synergy." I think thats a useful perspective. I dislike the good stuff vs. synergy deck dichotomy, because I'm not sure its practically possible to keep...

I've been thinking about that too, but more from the perspective of smallpox. With value discard already prevelent in Grixis, the self discard from it is already quite good. It makes me wonder if there isn't an avenue to focus on taking symmetrical resource taxing effects, and breaking symmetry...

Winter orb is a contridiction: its a magic card that actively works to stop one or more players from playing magic. Its not unreasonable to point that out. It always led to bad games when we ran it. It was never really an aggro support card, you would just pile up mana rocks in a midrange...

I would say Boros is probably one of the deeper guilds. Its a great candidiate to root an artifact sub-theme into, as part of a RWU artifact wedge, and most of its aggressive strategies scale very nicely up into aggressive midrange or midrange strategies. It can do micro-reanimator pretty...

I'm not saying that small cubes are better than larger cubes or vice versa, what I am saying is that large cubes don't necessarly mean you get more variety or creativity.

To provide a bit of a baseline, we'll go down to 3 (very casual) players, and there is still a lot of variance for 3 players at 360. I would caution strongly against the idea of overly correlating cube size with the rate that a format becomes stale. That's an over simplification that can hurt...

You have to remember its all sorceries, not just the ones in your yard.

Thanks, a lot of forum support when into that. Feels like it wants +1 thought courier, and something to replace vortex, though nothing is really jumping out at me at the moment. Probably should run a small token maker in that slot. The ninja package is probably too weak compared with what...

I had to be the one to do it, but we finally had a good (great!) loam deck. We were running less than 8, so I of course got royally rng effed on fixing, but the shell was great, and being 2 colors made it more managable. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/822545[/url]"] Ones 1 Faithless Looting 1...

I don't know, that didn't come up in his "correcting past mistakes" video, so I suspect he would disagree with that characterization. You could PM him about it, but if he was decent enough to admit he shouldn't have used unpublished research in his yutyrannus video that he shouldn't have...

Yeah, you're trading a draw step for a removal spell, which is 100% fine if you were in the market for a removal spell. Its also really strange to see if described as low powered, since I associate it with wreaking people in legacy and vintage, but I suppose it looks bad in cube formats with a...

The trick with darkblast is that you cast it on the upkeep, dredge on the draw, than cast it again. You use it to kill two toughness creatures, repeatedly. If you have draw effects like looters, it can scale up to kill three toughness creatures or bigger. Alternately, you can use it as a combat...

Yeah, thats more or less what he says in the second video, that T-rex was probably not super fluffy like Yutyrannus, because skin impressions shows that Yutyrannus had feathers in spots where we know t-rex didn't. But the media response to that study was overblown, basically tossing the idea of...

My experiences as well, though I still run stoke, which might be a mistake. Burn just gets very clunky in terms of CC and not being boring.

If you're actually interested this is a pretty good summary And here is a good summary of the skin impression controversy from the same guy There are limited skin impressions for theropod dinosaurs in general, but if we're still using phylogenetics as a scientific huristic (which we...
