Trample is a strong word. This card is TWO mana cheaper then tombstalker and loses 1/1 and flying for trample? Seems solid in a fetch filled world.

Year in review is nearing completion. Its way too long for its own good. Writing it is reminding me why I'm not a writer. Hopefully the three people who read it will enjoy it, at the very least the act of writing it has given me perspective.

The main difficulty will be deciding if and how to implement the sweet 3 color cards. Polycube might be a good approach, but I'm thinking about an alternative.

Unkillable godsphinx fills a very important niche in my cube like no other card does. Well, except for the card that does almost the exact same thing.

Yeah and Jeskai Charm yesterday is really cool too.

It compares best with Icy I suppose. It seems fun. Better then the red one, which isn't the worst. I really hope they make a white version (to complete the 3 color theme) that isn't terrible. I've got a new idea for a cube revision that will hopefully be able to help fit cards like this and...

While not a gold cube, my cube is rather multicolor friendly and assuming this hypothetical gold cube isn't balls to the walls fast, shocks are probably fine. That said, if the idea of the gold cube is to have every deck playing as many colors as they want with as little cost as possible it...

I like the role shocks play as opposed to duals in my cube. The way they feel in play is more like a reward for playing fewer colors then a punishment for playing more colors. Its not like I'm running ankh or winter orb to punish decks for having the audacity to try to get 5 lands in play and...

The winner in the category of "card for a slot I really didn't need any more cards in, but damn this thing is sweet and I'm going to run it" is:

Avon and Alexander have some competition. What's his name? Something Zana?

Heroic decks and delver/pyromaster decks alike fucking love this thing, I'm pretty sure if I find a way to fit in these sweet three color cards that this is a shoe i.

This card an a absolute beating.

Its definitely much more awesome then aetherling, but no, it seems like a much weaker card. Flash is pretty fun on it, though.

Ultimate Price

Tempo is important, I guess, but I wouldn't call it tempo focused. Some of the decks are just surprisingly explosive and you have to take them into account as part of the meta or you're going to lose. There's no powering out 6 drops super early to circumvent the need to interact. I'm...

I'm writing a year in review of my cube right now that indirectly addresses many of these question. However, some concise thoughts: My cube has gotten aggressive. If you can't fight early, you can't win. Tangentially, this makes removal the highest draft priority because basically every...

Its a double think tank! For me, this would work better as RUG, but its a pretty strong self-contained selfmill/"scry" engine.

Unspeakable Symbol still isn't worth playing, but its almost looking tempting.

You know, I realized that I don't run White Sun's Zenith, which gives a very similar better effect at a comparable cost without requiring synergy and I'm not sure the color shift is of much use. Looters an such probably won't generate enough graveyard to make delve that great and the mana...

Re: Empty the Pit It seems like a unique card that can utilize the red/blue "dump stuff in the graveyard" effects that intersects (but doesn't combo) with replenish, threshold, madness, etc. Currently living death/diabolic servitude serves that role along with random resuable black dudes...
