You're right about all the 3/2s and how key four toughness is. EMN added a bunch of 3/4 bodies that stabilize and give some sort of value on ETB, but you typically have to tap out to cast them. So Faith Unbroken or direct removal can make for big blowouts. This is how match two game one went...

I think it might be worth making a 'On the Subject of Planeswalkers' thread or reanimating the Shit Tier List discussion. I'd like to hear how y'all approach planeswalkers big-picture and decide which ones to run. Personally I find them overbearing and "goodstuff"-y, and have whittled down...

Since there's a good chance we can pick a white card and still wheel a good white card, I think that's what we should do - take Thalia or even Bygone Bishop and hope to get something sweet on the wheel like Secure the Wastes or Knight of the Reliquary.

Drafted Safra's Sharzad cube. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/568584[/url]"] Fun draft. The lab man didn't show up until the very end, pack three pick eight, so it almost didn't come together. I probably made some poor picks along the way, like Thoughtseize over Baleful strix, and I'm still not...

Seems pretty miserable to play against. Mana rocks and dorks and/or Cultivate into turn three or four Wildthree? Or is it Wildfive since it costs 5?

Got in a two-player draft of the cube today, it was a lot of fun and I was largely happy with the decks and relevant recent changes. Here are some impressions of cards that have been recently added: Rakshasa Gravecaller Pleasingly effective. The idea behind adding this to the cube was...

Galepowder Mage

Hushwing Gryff Keeps overperforming for me

Control + F, "Curse of Predation" Curse of Predation

Or instant... at {2}{R} it should at least be instant speed.

You can't just say bump, you have to have an example. Nobody else picks Mesmeric Orb or has any interest in working it into their deck. Who knows how many drafts that would take. More Orb for me I guess

With all the ETBs people run, seems pretty crazy. Phantasmal Image is legit.

Milord. Knowing the risk of summary execution, I hesitate to bring this up, but... it seems as though Chandra's Phoenix is a bit limp, maybe? I'm currently considering becoming a patron of sorts for this diverting chap named Feldon of the Third Path... but if that's not your style, maybe a...

I've been running Hat Red for months. It's hilarious, it looms large in the draft, I would recommend it highly but it's definitely not a card everybody's going to enjoy or want to cube. It's a bit of a saving grace that it's not an especially pickable card, which should get it to wheel and give...

This is going to be a turning point. I foresee future generations using the 'Before-Lupine-Prototype' / 'After-Lupine-Prototpe' terminology when discussing the history of MTG

I think Hanweir Garrison is going to become a cube staple. I already like it more than a lot of the {2}{R} creatures i'm running like Taurean Mauler and Sin Prodder. You don't even need to live the human tribal dream to make him work (that dream has to include Mentor of the Meek in it...

Thoughts on Call of the Herd? Call of the Herd

This idea has legs. I could see a lot of creatures with it in a set that also has plenty of exile and psuedo-removal, so that for once destroying a creature is the preferred way to remove it. It needs a better name, though, as Incurable doesn't seem like a mechanic for creatures at all.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Imposing Sovereign. New Thalia is definitely getting a spot
