    Supporting "black aggro" sucks if it means playing carnophage/sarcomancy/lacerator. Those cards are just crap. Confidant is still good, though, in any low curve deck that has black. Pridemate decks love it, r/b aggro loves it, b/u disruptive aggro loves it and its a card that makes you want...

    Card/Deck White Support Cards

    Some atypical white cards that I run/have run and like. Card Selection Tithe is the less miserable version of land tax. While its raw power level is obviously way below land tax's, it has the notable upside of being able to grab white duals. Enlightened Tutor is decent enough. Survival Cache...

    The Board Game Thread

    I love Colossal Arena. I think the main reason T&E gets more love is because it plays well with 3-4 players while Samurai plays best with 2. 2 person games are popular for card game and wargames, but most people want their euros to play more.

    General How does one assess a cube list? (Also, Reid Duke's guide to Cube)

    I basically stopped reading cube lists, its almost completely worthless trying to parse them. Mostly I hang around and listen as people chat about the thought process and get inspired by that. If the thought process makes sense, then the card selections that they inspire will probably come...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Emerge Unscathed is the best card no one (except us) plays!

    2. However we usually play Westchester draft and it takes both of your picks that round to take it, so there is a tradeoff. The first category are all around good cards that lots of decks want, the second are more poisonous cards that specific decks want two of for better consistency, but have...

    General Cockatrice cube draft?

    I don't suggest using my cube, between custom text, double picks and separate lands it would be a huge pain in the ass.

    Heelcutter looks pretty good, though at 4 mana you start getting to your flametongue kavu type of cards that just kill a dude rather then simply stopping them from blocking. That said cards like arena athlete, chandra, pyromaster and hammerhand play so much better then they read that I think...

    Erebos is great, but he is pretty contingent on becoming a threat. Bargain is just ultra swingy. If your cube is glacial enough, I'm sure its awesome, but in most cubes trying to win off a Tidings is unlikely, nevermind a higher casting cost Tidings that costs a ton of life. Necropotence is...

    General On this forum, how many schools of thought are there?

    I'm going to just admit I'm too stupid to get the joke and walk away from this one.

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Fetters too slow? Its certainly awkward, but that seems fair for a card that handles basically any threat. I've never really thought about its place in context, though, as it checked enough boxes for me (enchantment, lifegain, sorcery speed) that I sort of assumed it was awesome without really...

    Goblins have a lot going on, but if there is a clean way to make them work I haven't found it yet. Lackey in particular can lead to feel-bad awful games if you aren't careful with it. Matron, Ringleader, Recruiter, Warchief, Chieftain, Chiurgeon, Grenade, Warrens, Piledriver (maybe without...

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Lol, that's probably going to be the swap and you are right that is a good choice. One thing I've learned, though, about my cube is that even though I made it and do well when I play it, I don't even understand half of its depth, so you may well be right that a YOLO curse of predation is the...

    If you've been fishing in my cube thread, you may have seen I use Zombie/Vampire transparency and I will confirm Kalastria Highborn is amazing.

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Chris: Curse of Predation and Delver seem pretty bad, I'd wanted a better one drop and another piece of removal/disruption. I guess soldier of the pantheon and maybe Faith's Fetters? I'd really want force spike, spell pierce or daze in that. I'm considering doubling up on spike. Eric: I...

    FlowerSunRain's Cube

    Yeah, I was running mental note as though scour. The reason I use a custom card instead of the actual card that does the same thing: I don't like the art. Either way, its not surviving the next update so its moot now, the effect was just too narrow.

    Benevolent Bodyguard, bar the door, engineered plague(Mostly goblin and rebel I guess? They seem like they'd be good in this format maybe).

    Semi-real question: if this card made two little girls for {W} , would it be playable?
