I have been blown away with aven wind guide in token decks. The resiliency you get with embalm helps a lot. One of today's decks was jeskai value storm with empty the warrens and aven guide, the flying it grants was good on both offense and defense.

Is there any sequence that feels better than thraben inspector on one, kor skyfisher or aviary mechanic or what have you on two

The difference between one and two Mana for this effect seems huge. Like you would expect boomerang and unsummon to be fairly interchangeable...

Banewhip punisher is a great design. Some cards just have the perfect amount of play to them. Banewhip encourages you to eke out a little extra value with it somehow without it ever hogging the spotlight.

One enabler I really like is Whitemane Lion. I don't know how to feel about Cavern Harpy. Could get repetitive.

It seems like a great engine card for a bunch of different strategies. Spider Spawning comes to mind.

The cube spotlight series is back on MTGO, this time with Klug's pro tour cube from the 2016 make a cube contest. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-online/cube-spotlight-series-pro-tour-cube-2018-08-08 http://www.cubetutor.com/draft/114208

Nearheath PilgrimTandem LookoutDruid's Familiar Soulbond appreciation! There are really sweet play patterns to the mechanic, especially when bonds are being formed and broken at instant speed. I don't have any experience with pathbreaker wurm, Elgaud shieldmate or stern mentor but they also...

proxies on a featured match because even promo foils are effectively marked cards? what a time to be alive

For some reason this reminds me of the Anton Chigurh bit, 'if the rule you followed brought you to this, then what use was the rule?' I guess I'd say that even arbitrary restrictions can breed creativity, as long as you remember they are self-imposed and arbitrary. My cube projects tend to...

Sweet list! I drafted UW cheons: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/962140 It was UW from pretty early on; I think p1p1 Deep Analysis and third pick Elspeth, Sun's Champion. UW was super open so I kept seeing the enchantment theme cards as well. I didn't go in that direction however, and...

Sorry, that comes across as glib. What I mean is that in the kind of environment I'm talking about where you jam the popular uncommons and all the signets is super hostile to dedicated aggro decks. The list I link in the signature is not a good example of such a format, but the mtgo uncommon...

...cause imo one drop aggro outside of monored is a trap, especially if you include punishers like arc trail and arc lightning

Here's a brief draft report from a 3-man draft last night. I drafted GB mid-range, a bunch of green attackers, Diabolic Servitude to bring them back, with Rancor and Song of Freyalise to help them push through. We only played three matches total. I lost to the best deck from the draft, a...

I could see that deck having problems. The signal pests, orinthoper, lifestaff, sai and prepare are not contributing a whole lot. It could run out of cards before getting opponents low, and the boros garrisons interfere with curving out

if you're okay with the white overlap, Spitemare?

So, I have a new cube. http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/102364 360-ish uncommon and common rarity, except for the shock / fetch manabase Singleton, including lands Not power maxed, somewhat flat power level, mostly to make design room for the big feature of the cube: Somewhat...

Brontodon! that should do nicely. Thank you.
