I'm in the middle of a draft right now, but the difference is in efficiency. 1 mana to recur is a vastly better rate than 4.

I'm not finger waving optimisim, i'm saying the way both of these cards are being evaluated feels very off, prob because they are new. One card requires card disadvantage, and the other a 4cc mana investment to recur. That shouldn't be being glossed over.

I know every time a new set comes out, a bunch of you guys get a little over optimistic about the cards, but I think we need to stop and pause for a second if we're seriously contemplating running pale rider or comparing gryff's boon to rancor. One is a 4cc recurring aura with negligible...

I am...(finally) victorious! Went 2-1, but kirblinx got the full 4 points for losing. This means that if cloudshift hosting doesn't wreak things, we can have a complete upset next week in the rankings. Games were insane, except for the first game of every match where I was utterly destroyed...

Yeah, a few other things that frustrate me: 1. List runs blatant GRBS cards (swords, skull clamp, wurm coil engine). 2. List runs well established trap cards like masked admirers or janky build around/niche cards (autumn's veil). 3. Poorly thought out tribal support, equipment theme, or...

The problem with the cube lists forms is that its just really hard to respond to a lot of the lists being posted there. Either a lot of the response is going to be repetitive (cut these cards we've all established as bad about 2 years ago/ improve your fixing) or their is insufficent guidance...

Probably not: being instant speed to hit spellstutter sprite is pretty big game. Seal of doom is maybe ok though? I feel like chromaric star/sphere could be a part of the puzzle as well. The problem with the card though is that it only has 4 toughness, and is green. Still like it though.

I was thinking of running it with nameless inversion and/or tarfire.

The fixing btw seems really easy, so I don't think you have to worry about that. Its really easy because you of course don't have to prioritize lands, since they are all the same. Sesmic assault has been a historical underperformer for me. I also think you would be much better off with...

Don't cut pelakka wurm! That card is gas, and the ggg is needed to balance it.

I love these types of more conditional sweepers, as they have more play to them. I think it makes more sense to have them in red though than black, because red cards can already fluctuate so efficiently between being control pieces or reach, and red can always combine effects to take out a...

Haha thats a cute idea: a power max cube, but make it power max within the constraints of old school magic, where spells are grossly better than creatures.

Poisonous is usually (on riptide) a term used to describe cards that are overly narrow. Edit: beat me to it, and yes, that is what I am trying to say.

I'm really surprised that chandra, flamecaller isn't being rated higher: I've seen some pros compare her with elspeth, sun's champion in terms of power level.

Yeah, one of the reasons why cards like stormbind and compulsive are actually in the cube, is to give non-aggro decks an incentive to run more than 15 lands. And than managing mana flow with the scry lands, and the way they work with the bouncelands to min/max your top decks, is a whole other...

Now that I don't have a raging headache I can be a little clearer ( and constructive) about what I mean by mana bases. Manabase construction in this format can get really deep. Those bouncelands are effectively like land cantrips, so an 18 land deck with 2 bouncelands is effectively a 20 land...
