Hang in there inscho! Stay strong and healthy indoors. And keep us posted on the cube designing :)

I quite like storms wrath just because it's a cleaner text box, + you can try to find creatures with 5+ toughness to keep them around after wiping weenies.

My usual caveat for any kind of suggestion for a theme like this is to first sketch up what the actual concrete deck would look like!

I think it's a really cool card. Also, if you have support for graveyard stuff in green then it's pretty useful.

Wait hold on 'wood burning' a magic card? What does that look like?

We said the T-word. Thragtusk Back on topic! I used to loath this card in standard, but it really is a value packed card. Does anyone run this dumb idiot card? It really feels good to cast it.

hardened scales Maybe a card to pair with that green artifacts +1/+1 package?

doom blade night's whisper Honestly if you want to support "spell velocity" in black I would just run stuff like this, solid cheap black spells.

So is the recipe here double striker + some (big) buff effect?

The topters have evasion, also! So while they 'gum up the board' they'll also additionally move towards closing out the game!

I'm in a similar unfortunate situation, being Scandinavian. Hopefully we'll see similar events here in Europe in the future as well :)

The devotion works for the new Heliod as well!

I've settled at defining tempo as "The rate at which you change the number of active threats in your favor", so playing a lot of creatures quickly -> tempo. Bouncing your opponents creature -> tempo. Playing a sweeper would also be a tempo play, in that you very quickly remove many threats in...

Before we have this discussion, I think we would need to define what we mean by value!

While I agree, this is largely a matter of semantics. The problem I believe isn't the words necessarily but the lack of a consistent definition instead of just a kinda fuzzy grouping of stuff that's been called 'aggro' or 'control' before. I think using aggro as synonymous with 'fast deck' and...

While this is true, I still think it's meaningful to roughly divide decks into those that try to win quickly by leveraging tempo (presenting threats quicker than they're answered) and decks that predominantly answers threats until they can finish the game with one or a few threats inevitably...

What does an aggressive selfmill deck look like?

This is a thought question. Evasion is really good in draft, and the point about being able to block opposing flyers I think would make me want the flying robot but it depends on what artifacts you're getting back and what other ways of killing the robot you'd have besides just combat.

That sound's like a good idea. I think it was Grillo that stated some while ago that blue 1 cmc cantrips put to much pressure on any other kind of draw effects in other colors (like green grave-impulses) to make it worth going for them. Running 2 cmc ones might open up room for draw effects in...

It should be ok if there's enough enchantments, right? I think I'd be extra interested in running it in an environment where many of the more powerful creatures are enchantment creatures, because then the second mode has a higher chance of hitting the problematic creature directly.
