    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think cheat-into-play targets should be desirable picks in their own right, which means other drafters who aren't on the reanimation or Natural Order plan are interested in hard-casting them. Coming up with {4}{G}{W}{W}{U} is too tall of an order for that. It makes it a very narrow pick.

    Cronenberg Eldrazi Angel is pretty awesome.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    It's not a low power card by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think it's too much in a life-totals-matter environment. Ashes to Ashes is kinda similar - huge tempo swing, significant life cost, fits better in aggro than control since you need to do something immediately with your...

    Genericco's Generic Cube Blog Spotlight Shitpost Megathread

    Here's a swap I've made recently that I've been pleased with. This is in reference to the toning down ETB spam thread. Cloudgoat Ranger REPLACED WITH Scion of Vitu-Ghazi I like this interface with the white token theme a lot more. Scion can eke out a little extra value by...

    Sets WOTC - Shadows over Innistrad Cube All-Stars

    I don't think you're missing anything. It's a dubious include in cube lists, I can't imagine it getting drafted on purpose very often and I don't think "what's not to love?" is the right question to be asking about that card in cube. Especially if, as is suggested in the next paragraph, the cube...

    Sets WOTC - Shadows over Innistrad Cube All-Stars

    By Melissa DeTora http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/ways-play/shadows-over-innistrad-cube-all-stars-2016-06-14 What do y'all think? It sure seems like cube has been mentioned a lot by WOTC lately. I don't have a lot to say about her list, which is mostly just the power from the...

    Gravecrawler's just too pickable to be the centerpiece of a janky sacrifice deck.

    I'd agree that you'd have to set out to build an environment where it's viable. Maybe it's an archetype in some sweet combo cube concept out there. I'm experimenting with phyrexian altar, still very much in the embryonic planning stage. I think it's closer to cube worthy than Ashnod's. The...

    General [Thought Excercise] What does this break?

    "...back with live coverage of the featured table, and we're going to jump right in, it looks like the So Close is going to resolve on Invincible Hymn, and so Hymn will simply read, 'Count the number of cards in your library' for Hoogland, and we have a judge on hand to let us know that yes, he...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I kinda like the tokens being copies of the creature, the prospect of doubling them each turn is going to get drafters excited. Harder to balance for sure but more of a fresh and unexplored design space. With generic tokens the design gets pretty close to something like Talrand, Sky Summoner...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Maze of Ith was too pickable around here, too useful for not requiring any color commitment. My honest take on Startled Awake is it's probably a trap in most lists, but having never tried it I have to defer to those who have.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Engulf is cool but doesn't play well with cube mana bases. Increasing Confusion is awesome because it's a win condition by itself, a resilient one since it's strongest when it's in the graveyard. Startled Awake looks like stinky jank.
