Hows spitting image been for you? Always liked that card.

Not really. Retail limited formats are notoriously prone to wide power bands, because WOTC uses the rare and mythic slots to push pack sales. When pro players prepare for competitive play using an average limited set, its not much deeper than laying out a hierachy ranking, and letting the...

Re: Limited Resources. Their are a lot of problems I have with that, but the big one is catagorizing these cards as "hate cards" when we should be talking about answer density. His entire position seems pretty questionable. He's a competitive player, complaining about his inability to live...

Thats worth pulling out, because at the crux of the discussion is what sideboarding means. The concept laid out here is fairly challenging, since on a surface level it looks like a contridition: cards should be of relatively equal worth (tight power band), yet at the same time, must be laid out...

The thing you want to avoid is how magic was back in the day with some of these cards. You used to have these super power enchantments and artifacts running around that has to be answered, like moat (I suppose assemble the legion might be a modern day analogue). Everyone was running them, so...

Priest has been ok. I've found the madness deck to be less about actual madness, and more about value discard. So this card has been very good Asylum visitor Because you can value madness sooner with 2-3cc effects, and not so much because of the hellbent abilities. The 3cc cards can...

I really like rakdos. It scales very well from aggro to midrange. I've found madness themes at low power to be very effective, as well as cards that become stronger as the creature count in the graveyard grows. In the old penny cube, you could use red token makers in an aggressive build, to...

Yeah, I would consider most of those to be good main deck cards.

Theres always going to be dissonance between crafting a format where a drafter is always safe; and a format where they might fail, but have the chance to achieve something memorable. Lab maniac is not a card that people fail safetly with, but its a card that can give them some of their most...

Its mostly because its easier to catogorize the card for the designer, but yeah, I agree. Sometimes people will do it just because its creates more artifical space in the format--their green and white sections are overflowing, so they put finks in selesnya, to create up two slots in those...

Its ceiling is planeswalker ultimate; its floor is a brick. Probably not a well designed card.

I run it in my format, and its very good. Basically, you just need reasonable artifacts for the format to curve into.

I would avoid running it, if i'm being asked in a vacumn. Some people can get very emotional about that card. Lots of baggage.

After toying around with demonic tutor, 10/10 want to run a different tutor in its place, just because its picked too highly, so the deck that needs it for redundency never gets it. This was a neat deck from last night. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/803041[/url]"] Twos 1 Channeler Initiate 1...

Yeah, the amount of spirit synergy is insane. There are a metric ton of potential lord cards, and that seems like a really cool, and unique play to explore. You probably don't strictly need the splicer package. I would cut meloku, kodama of the north tree, and jetting glasskite for sure for...

These decks are really interesting to look at. I feel like there has to be something awesome here. Idea: go down to 1 dampen thought, move away from dampen thought as an independent combo deck, but shift it towards an engine for a gy combo. Kind of like a spider spawning redux, where we use...
