You need to be running enough incidental counter creatures that having 2 dudes with counters on them on turn 4 is a normal occurrence. If you only have one dude out most of the time, you might as well shelter. Obviously the ceiling gets nuts on it with token maker + Ajani or Big Mike. Travel...

Sweet deck, that delver looks really bad, though. The fact that he would run Purphoros in a light creature deck (and it was probably ok in it) further reinforces my perception that its just a stupid card.

Dude, everyone knows the path to a woman's heart is to condescend her, then appear incompetent at the very thing you were condescending her about!

How'd you know I was talking about you? Khans definitely made me think more and inspired more design decisions that made my cube better. Dragons, though, I like too, because the developed power level of the actual cards just seems more on target.

Thinking of a black/white lifegain incentive card in the vein of Sanguine Bond but not complete shit. Circle of Despair (this is the card I'm going to write over, mostly because it has the right casting cost and type) {1}{W}{B} When Circle of Despair enters the battlefield, gain one life...

The Best Card in Dragons of Tarkir Dragons of Tarkir isn't even out yet so I'm not going to guess about how it is going to be received. It looks really good to me. Rebound is awful in the set, but otherwise I found it very likable. Warriors are now a full fledged incidental tribe that will...

The Best Card in Fate Reforged Fate Reforged came to us after a very disappointing middle set from the Theros block, but managed to crush expectations. While it lacked the inspirational power of Khans, Fate Reforged brought tears to many Power-Maxers eyes with a handful of amazingly powerful...

The Best Card in Khans of Tarkir Many cube enthusiasts can't help but be a little disappointed at one of the core themes of Khans of Tarkir: three color cards. We all know the design limitations of cube and how they relate to heavily restrictive casting costs, so no need to dwell on them...

I liked Theros and all, but I had to edit a bunch of enchantment creatures to make it work.

Its a pretty decent creature, great creature to fight stuff with. The main "problem" is its in the same spot as polukranos and its probably not a niche you want to double down on. I find graveyard value to be more green then intrinsic creature removal, so I go with the bug. Also swarmyard.

Yes it is. I run 2 titans and I would definitely consider running the card. In fact, there is a reasonable chance I will swap Obzedat for it in my next update.

I run both BW lifegain jerks and I love them. Not sure if I SHOULD be running both, but what can you do. Blind Hunter is a really good card, even if it costs 4. Those are all good suggestions, except the guildmage should prob just be vault of the archangel.

Well, the body is below the current standard for the slot, but the effect is good enough that I'd consider it, particularly if your blue decks have random shit to sacrifice.

My buylist for this set is too effing long.

Generally positive. Its not as potentially stupid as, say, ethereal armor, but your dude in the first time and makes him obnoxious to kill the second.

These cards totally don't suck for the counters deck. Inspiring Call is a blowout and a half when it works I don't think its as narrow as it looks. There are a couple of weaker cards in theme too if you are digging for narrow playables. Secure the wastes is the real deal, that effect has never...

Yeah, the rebound cards are awful. Actually most of the keyworded cards are overcosted. But there are some tools here for a lot of different lists, especially +1/+1 counters, and a couple of the exploit cards do a decent enough job of being a spell that puts a body in the graveyard.

Within the context of "cards they reveal in bulk on the last day of spoilers", not the entire set.

I think the typical over/under for "playable cards" in the end of set card dump is about 2.5. I'm taking over here, this set is nuts and I think a gem with Rebound and a random as fuck black aggro dude are going to be in the pile along with something completely random.
