I'm definitely not advocating playing that card in your cubes, but back in my day, we were all playing bad 2-color casual guild decks and Cleansing Beam was a legitimate tiebraker. Against something like Golgari, you'd target a gold card and often kill three creatures, and against Selesnya...

The baloth is really dope too, but, in addition to not really fitting into the loam deck, I'd prefer to have an enabler in this slot rather than a payoff, as the latter are so much more plentiful in the mono colors.

Okay guys, you kinda cemented Nyx Weavers position with your praises. It's been in my cube for ~5 years (now as the only BG gold card even) and will probably stay for another 5 years at least.

Nyx Weaver might've won his recent battle, but now there is an old rival approaching, challenging him once again. Nyx Weaver Grisly Salvage Originally, I went for the 2/3 reach and the constant milling, but recently I've found that I was leaning too hard on repeatable effects and didn't give...

Cleansing Beam was also really really solid. Like, swingy, but not bad all together. Sometimes you had to board it out, but more often it could kill multiple creatures on the opponent's board, which was actual card advantage, board effecting even, in red. But largely, I agree. The coolest...

I don't really share those feelings most if you seem to have. Yeah, I don't want Walking Dead magic cards or 250$ booster packs. But I can just ignore those. For me, the biggest throw off in magic's history is still how they disfigured the modern frames in 2014. Between Magic 2015 and Throne of...

What is the fight exactly? From these, I like Robber the most. Such a cool design. Ire Shaman is also sweet and adapts nicely to different power levels I assume. The Kobold looks weak, the Monkey is just stupid and shouldn't exist, period.

Well, I do support both, a selfmill deck caring about creatures (Golgari Grave-Troll, Undead Butler) in Sultai colors as well as a selfmill deck caring about lands (Life from the Loam, Cabal Pit) in Jund colors. Also, flashback-like value stuff. So, I think the Nyx Weaver is better because it...

Nyx Weaver Uurg, Spawn of Turg My intention says Nyx Weaver is still the better self-mill signpost and I'm just considering Uurg because it's new and shiny and has a cool showcase version. Correct?

I kinda forgot that I also run Rimrock Knight. The objectively better looking version of course. I also forgot about reinforce, which is a great mechanic with mostly mediocre cards. I even cubed Burrenton Bombadier and Hunting Triad. Both seemed totally fine on paper but almost never made it...

Traditionally, combat tricks have had a very hard time in cube. Removal tends to be very efficient and instant speed too, more often than not. Also, games don't always revolve around combat, when players cheat big fatties into play or cast Brainfreeze with a double digit storm count. Even if...

Dude, I'm cubing Jungle Lion. That Scarecrow isn't broken.

He appeared only once on the battlefield so far, and he was totally fine. He's a bit too clunky to be unfair in an environment with mostly really fair EtBs. It's still a card you want to remove, but so far I feel like you don't die if you can't remove him for a couple turns or so. Wish I could...

I wouldn't put it in my cube, yet I doubt it would make any big waves in any constructed format. Maybe in pauper, if it was a common.

I mean, I would maybe even play a Grizzly Bear with retrace.

I once won a game by making five or six Gelectrodes with Spitting Image. That was nasty, as each copy triggered the ones I already had. It was a good day. Man, I really want them to revisit retrace. Or make good jump-start cards.

Without the haste, there is Valor Singer

Throes of Chaos is cool. But is it good? What kind of decks run it? Loam decks? Can it just be a kind of curve topper that prevents you from flooding?

I think this deck would perform very well at our draft tables. You got a nice suit of countermagic and card draw, two stealing effects and with Pterry an efficient finisher at hand. Love it!

I had Cenn's Enlistment in my Cube some years ago and it was fine. Really nice way to avoid the feelbad of flooding. I cut it for Battle Screech I think, and I wouldn't undo that, but I wonder if it's worth another try now with Crucible, LftL and World Shaper in my List ...
